I heard an interesting rumor. Why do people associate you with a bear, Lady Kai?
“Wha- so you’ve heard about it too, Chancellor?” She frowned. “I’ll get that ninja,” she added under her breath.
“It’s because... well, people think I’m a little too aggressive. And, um, brutish.” She flushed, more out of anger than embarrassment at these confessions. “I mean, if you look at me... you don’t really see a ladylike flower, do you? So, I thought... well, if I can’t be the prettiest, I’ll definitely be the strongest.”
