The Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Kou. The Audience Chamber.

In a flat, detached voice.
So, you are Kyo Rinu. Raise your head.
He lifts his head and glares at Kisei. His eyes possess a strong, unyielding spirit.
Laughing grandly.
You have spirit, I'll give you that. But do not forget your place. —That is, if you wish to continue living in this country.
Kisei waves his fan. At that signal, Guest steps forward into the Audience Chamber, standing beside the throne.
