I'm from a kingdom, so that's pretty much it. The royal family handles matters of the state, and the princess is the leader of the military - along with pretty much every other position of power, too.
She sounds like the ideal woman... but don't tell Kurapika I said that.
[Besides, Akira is loyal to his man. Why chase after the perfect woman when he's dating the perfect man?]
If you want to know how we took him down, it's simple: we stole his heart. We took everything that was vile and corrupt and snatched it away. Even I don't fully understand the particulars, so don't get mad if I can't give you a better answer.
Whoa whoa whoa, sacrifice? Who said anything about sacrifices? Maybe that's how things go in your world, but you don't have a blind an orphan or throw a virgin into a volcano to steal a heart in mine.
I'm just saying, even if I tried to recreate it in my world, it would definitely fall under magic. And unlike this place, the only way to get it to work would require a sacrifice.
So, not like I'll be trying it anytime soon, if ever.
Eh, it's more... metaphysical? You never know. All I'm saying is that it's a dangerous tool in the wrong hands.
...And besides, I don't understand the finer details anyway. If you somehow wound up in my world, though? I'd show you how to get there. I don't think you'd use that power for evil.
Of course. You're a pain in the ass, but you're not a bad guy.
[That said... it really wouldn't hurt to try explaining the finer details to Ahito. Who knows? Maybe there's a way, whether it be through magic or another means, for Ahito to reach Mementos in his own world. Akira's certain he'd use that power for good.]
Inside of everyone is a Palace. Imagine having a castle inside of you that's formed by your memories and experiences. Everything that makes you who you are is in there— both the good and the bad.
I mean... kinda? They've got useful items inside of them.
[Just roll with it, Ahito.]
But their heart's usually hidden away in treasure chests throughout the palace. People don't want those parts of themselves stolen away, so there are usually traps in place to protect their precious treasure.

[The nobility can suck his ass, frankly. Akira's moving on to more important matters:]
Is she hot?
no subject
People say she's pretty, but the main thing she's known for is being the strongest swordsman in the world.
Anyway, don't get sidetracked. Keep going with your story.

You can just do that?

...Based on what you've said, that guy's palace must have been a real piece of work.

[Akira heaves a sigh.]
I nearly lost a friend there. Thankfully, no deaths.

...Wait, there's stuff in there you have to fight, too?
no subject
You can't just barrel in and steal someone's treasure. If you don't go in with a plan, you could get yourself killed super easy.

...You're stealing treasure from them, too? I guess it is a palace...

What was the treasure usually like?

[Shido sure did think he could steer Japan in whichever direction suited him.]
I wonder what yours would be. A pair of golden shades, maybe?
