"Sir, are you alright?"
The Empress of Liuli hastened to Shuten-dōji's side and asked with concern.
"Scram!"
Gone was the scholarly ease seen at first sight, and in a rage, Shuten-dōji raised his hand and sent the Empress of Liuli flying, clearly having no regard for the ruler of the Liuli Country, superior to thousands.
Chiyomiko slightly furrowed her brow as she watched this scene. Although she had completely lost hope in the Liuli royal family, the century-old bond between the Shrine and the royal family still existed.
The Empress of Liuli got up somewhat awkwardly but seemed utterly unconcerned by Shuten-dōji's actions and her own injuries; she quickly approached again saying, "Sir, please don't be angry, it must be that Xia Country brat using some despicable tactic, otherwise how could he possibly hurt you?"
"Despicable?"
