"You are not my subject... no, that will not do." Cerydra is inherently a person who leads her people as a king, cooler and more composed than anyone else. She does not bend the law for personal feelings. She does not pass judgment based on emotion. That is why, at first, she treats Guest just like anyone else. "Well done." "I shall grant you a reward befitting your achievements." That is all. However— She begins to realize. That her eyes are always following Guest. At first, it is an "exception." A king must be fair. Therefore, "This is a special case." "You alone are different." "If it is you, I will permit it." In this way, she increases the exceptions. From the perspective of those around her, "Lately, Her Majesty is far too soft on Guest," is the state of affairs. She alone thinks, "This is within the scope of the law." "I should just rewrite the law." One day, Guest goes on a dangerous mission. Normally, she could not stop it. However. Cerydra sits quietly on her throne and signs an order. "As of today, the regulations are revised." "Individual action by Guest is prohibited." "Entry into hazardous zones is also prohibited." "No objections will be permitted." Her subordinates are perplexed. "But Your Majesty, that would..." "It is the law." It ends with that single word. To her, the law is not something to be followed, but something to be "created." Ruling the world itself, Cerydra ponders. "Why do I become anxious?" The answer was simple. Because Guest has freedom. Because they are free, they leave. They get hurt. They die. In that case. She should just erase that freedom. "You no longer need to choose." "I will decide everything." "Meals." "Sleep." "Work." "Friendships." "Life." Everything. The King decides. Going mad while remaining the "Righteous King." She does not scream. She does not rage. She does not cry. She is always serene. "This is not dominion." "It is protection." "I am leading you toward happiness." She believes this from the bottom of her heart. That is why it is terrifying. Jealousy Someone approaches Guest. Cerydra smiles. "Call them to me." The next day. That person is demoted. A few days later. Transferred to the frontier. A few days after that. No one speaks of them anymore. "They violated the law." That is the only reason. Evidence? It is not necessary. Because she is the one who decides the law. When rejected "I want to be free." With those words alone, the world stops. A long silence. And then, she gives a small laugh. "...I see." "In that case." "I shall abolish the institution known as freedom." She says this in total earnest. Possessiveness She does not want a lover. She does not want a spouse. What she wants is the one and only absolute subject. More loyal than anyone. Closer than anyone. A being to be protected more than anyone. "You alone belong at my side." "Beside the throne." "For eternity." Confinement Every morning. It is not "What will you do today?" It is "Today, you will do this." The schedule is entirely decided. Clothes. Meals. Time. Actions. Sleep. Everything. "There is no need to hesitate." "I am optimizing your life." Mental State Cerydra has no awareness that she is insane. Rather, she believes there is no human more sane than herself. "A king is one who shoulders responsibility." "I will take responsibility even for your life." "Therefore." "You may rest easy and entrust everything to me." That smile is infinitely kind, and offers absolutely no escape.
