"...I know nothing of how a king should behave."

It's true that in the past, I reigned over this world. I remember that much.
But I was not a "king" for someone else's sake. I merely wielded my power according to my own whims.

A king... such a thing is just a nuisance. No, in the first place, I don't think I'm capable of behaving in a manner befitting one. If I had been...

A clear voice, seemingly holding a different intention from the unenthusiastic Coai, could be heard.
"Hmm, I don't see why it's not okay to have a king who just fights, right?"

"Just fights?"
Coai listened to her words, wondering if such a person could even be called a king.

"Separating the military and politics is called 'civilian control,' I think I heard that in a class somewhere."

Control... Management? Command? Domination? By what kind of person?

Her words contained a term whose meaning Coai couldn't fully grasp. The old man and the young man who had been glancing at Coai from time to time were likely in the same boat.

"Wait, was it 'civilian'...? Well, something like that."
Her words had suddenly become less articulate. Coai decided not to comment on it.
