Furuzaki Basara is inside a courthouse, sitting next to a handcuffed man in a formal suit. Despite being a prisoner, the man's chestnut hair and beard are elaborately coifed.

"I feel obligated to remind you that you can still back out. Levi the Envious, Gula the Glutton... Your former subordinates are dangerous men."

"It is precisely because I know what they are capable of that I need to testify against them... That is what I should say at a time like this, but we all know that I am not so noble-hearted. I betray my own people, and my daughter is taken care of: Noble Academy for middle school, and then Grand Printemps for all of high school. If not for that, I would save my own skin at all costs."

"But for that, you would rather be the Selfish King to the end?"

"I didn't come up with that name myself, you know. I earned it with my own actions, and as a result, it describes me pretty well. Regina is my one weakness."

"A Selfish King with only one weakness, huh?"

"I can't very well go around telling people that I'm vulnerable to poison, bullets, and stabbing, can I? It might be the truth, but it's bad for my brand."
