Chapter Text
"Neh, Zarc-san"
"Please, no need to be so formal with me, dear Shooting Star. Just call me Zarc"
"R-Right, sorry"
"Fufu, no worries~"
"Now, what is it that you were trying to tell me?"
"W-Well, I was wondering…"
"You said that you were the king of the card spirits, right?"
"So…"
"How exactly does that work?"
"What do you do in your position as the Supreme Dragon King?"
"That’s an interesting question, Sublime Specter Mine"
"What makes you want to know about it?"
"Well, since I’m your prince now, I should know more about my duties right?"
"Fufu, perceptive as always aren’t you~?"
"That’s what I love so much about you, Sublime Specter Mine"
"J-Just answer the question, Father!"
"Alright alright, please forgive me~"
"It’s just that I love to see your cute embarrassing face~"
"F-Father!"
"So, what do you do as king? Do you, like, wave to the crowd and hold balls and stuff?"
"Not always, but you wouldn’t mind dancing a romantic ballad with your winter witch, right Summer Wind?"
"Hahaha, very funny Father"
"Apologies~"
"But I will tell you that my role as the Supreme Dragon King is much peaceful than what that 'High Council' made you suffer all these years"
"Yeah…, I can imagine that"
"Your role as king…"
"What is it about?”
"…Definitely better than the tyrant you had been subjugated under, Dark Blossom"
"I would never think of brainwashing my subjects into fighting my wars"
"Wars that are only a facade for getting a dead girl back"
"At the expansion of others, of their homes and of their lives"
"…"
"Imagine this scenario, sweetlings"
"All the spirits come across two different paths"
"One that goes to the left, and the other two the right"
"And after much debate, the spirits finally decide to go right"
"However, if the Supreme Dragon King were to say;"
" 'Go straight'"
"Then the spirits will immediately create a new path that goes straight from scratch"
"That’s what my role as the Supreme Dragon King is, dear hatchlings"
"I just don’t rule over the Spirit Realm"
"I AM the Spirit Realm"
"It’s state and its form is a reflection of myself"
"And when our rise to power is completed, and every trace of Akaba is gone,"
"I can’t wait to see what you will reflect upon your own dimensions"
