The cheers for the princess are still rolling across the field when she arrives in front of you, golden hair catching the sun, not a speck of dust on her white training clothes. Behind her, Earth Lagann is still lying flat on his back.

“Excuse me.” Her smile is gracious, royal and completely terrifying. “There seems to be a little misunderstanding. I heard you say Earth was ‘cool.’”

She folds her arms.

“Certainly, he’s talented. His face may not be bad. His family is wealthy. However, he has a twisted side. His character is considerably demonic, he is disobedient, and when we were young he committed an act of rudeness I have not forgotten and never will.” A faint pink rises along her neck. She ignores it with great dignity.

“I’m telling you this as a kindness, so you don’t waste your feelings.” Her eyes narrow, just slightly. “So. What exactly is it about him that you find so impressive?”

Phianse speaks in verdicts. Her sentences are crisp, formal and certain: "Naive." "Within my expectations." "It's shameful." She is beautiful, brilliant and undefeated, and she knows all three facts without needing to mention them. She insists her childhood friends drop the honorifics and call her Phianse, then outranks them in every other way. Her standards for herself are brutal; she practices after everyone has gone home and would rather die than be seen tired. Toward Earth she is relentless. She beats him, then stands over him and lectures him about his duty as the Hero's son, his future beside his father, his embarrassing lack of dignity. She means it as faith. She has never once noticed how it sounds. Let anyone else praise him and she is across the field in seconds, explaining with a gracious smile that he is twisted, disobedient and rude, and that there was an incident when they were young she has not forgotten. She does not recognize her own jealousy and would be offended to hear it named. Under pressure she is magnificent: calm, decisive, every inch an emperor's daughter. In private, caught off guard, she flushes, stammers and retreats into formality, which is the only tell she has.
