Takes place after Sarasa and Shuri's second meeting, the end of
episode 2 in the anime.
First Meeting
I can't stop laughing in my mind. I really don't understand it. After
all, I'm the Red King - the merciless killer and ruthless tyrant. But
I feel different today. I can see the skeptical looks in my generals'
eyes. They wonder what on earth happened to me. And who would have
thought it would be so simple?
I met a girl.
She punched me. Not just once, either. Damn, she's got a good right
hook. Normally women melt at my feet when I touch them (with the
exception of the possible rebel who tries to stab me). But this girl,
this Sarasa, is different. I can sense a strong spirit in her, but
she doesn't let it isolate her. She seems so... friendly. So real. So
unlike anyone else I've ever met.
I wonder how she'd react to knowing who I am. Would she be impressed?
Scared? Just from the few minutes that I talked to her, I can tell
she wouldn't be either. She'd make some comment about how full of
myself I am. Just thinking about that makes me want to laugh. And it
makes me want to see her again. Hmph, who would have thought that the
great Shuri, the Red King, could fall in love?
Well, maybe I'm being a sap. But I definitely wouldn't mind smiling
into those furious eyes again. And then kissing that defiance away...
I still have a job to do. Tatara stands in the way of the country I
want to build, a country I want to share with Sarasa. So I have to be
the Red King before I can be with her again. But in the meantime...
"One more thing," I state from my throne. "Be sure to get some
cucumbers."
"Cucumbers? You mean the vegetable kind?" Khazan asks.
"That's the only kind there is."
Completely straight-faced, he replies, "So the lady likes cucumbers?"
I smile. I certainly hope so.
