"What? You don't like her either?"
Seeing Roxie looking rather unhappy on the screen, Shien became interested.
However, Roxie's answer was somewhat subtle.
"It's not that I dislike her. At least, that's what I think." Roxie frowned deeply and said helplessly, "It's just that every time we meet, she latches onto me and refuses to let go. Even though the Empire's delegation keeps telling her not to fight me, every time she sees me, she comes over to provoke me, says unpleasant things, and tries to anger me into dueling her. It gets really annoying after a while."
Huh? Wasn't that the same routine the imperial Princess had used when she met me?
She used the same trick on Roxie too? One move was enough for everything?
How clumsy.
"So what do you think of her?"
Shien asked casually.

So this question was extremely important. He had to get it straight first.
As though she had seen through
