♛ 11th Curious Thought [Video]

[With the fighting giants just outside the city, the school burning down, the funeral showing the sheer number of those lost. She is holding the vorpal sword she created not so long ago in her lap.]

His majesty, King Arthur, was teaching me how to use the vorpal sword to protect myself. But now that he's gone, I'm without a good teacher.

Would someone please be so kind to teach me how to use a sword?

You can't if it's already dead.

In the Looking Glass, time is quite different, so is life and death. It's forwards and backwards thinking.

...That doesn't make any sense.

It does if you ask what it is instead of guessing at the nature of it.

It sounds silly to me.

Everything sounds silly to you, that's not saying much.

Then maybe everything should try to be less ridiculous.

Or maybe you should open yourself up to more nonsense. I assure you, it's much more fun.

A king doesn't have time for anything as foolish as fun.

[Which is probably why he literally never had any friends.]

I beg to differ. If you don't know how to have fun, how can you ensure that for your people have it and help with their happiness?

I don't care if my people have fun. My responsibility is to keep the kingdom functioning and safe from invaders, not to make sure no one is bored.

And once they're safe from invaders? You act like your kingdom is being attacked every second of every day.

Someone's always plotting against the king. There will always be jealous fools that think they could do better.

Someone's always plotting against a bad king, sir. A good king may only have one or two people plotting against them, and if they're a good king, no one will want the people plotting against them to rule.

It's more complicated than that. A lot of people want more power, and they'll have followers if they promise more power to them.

And who wants you in power, your majesty?
