Otaku Kitakuhime wrote:"You threw the Unicorn in the mud with your very words –– I asked you to apologize: you ignored. You offended my family by insinuating they didn't know what they were doing by allowing me to have a position of leadership. You offended me by accusing me of ignorance. I forgive you for the latter. Honor forbids me accept your other offenses.. If you draw steel against the me, be ready to die for your actions."
Kitakuhime may be a barbaric Unicorn not so well versed in the way of the Empire. But honor is something she knows plenty.
"My intent with all of this was to help you! Yet you refused courtesy first and threw it in my face. I said what I said because you did not give me confidence in you anymore! Three times I asked for you to step away from the crowd so we could discuss in private. Three times you denied! Your Champion made the same mistake with the Lion! I am trying to help, Otaku-sama. Heaven will prove I am in the best of intentions. But what help does it give if proving it means your death?"
Mei sighs.
"The Empire has laws. If both parties do not agree to a shi duel, it stands at first blood. And to kill an opponent in a duel to first blood is shame on ones entire family. Do not force the issue, Otaku-sama, it will only end in despair."
