獅子心王リチャードⅠ世からのお返し。

とある重要な和平交渉の最中、一人の女性奏者が奏でた弦楽器の音とその歌声が獅子の心を鷲掴みにした。

どれほどまでに高揚したかというと、獅子心王は交渉相手の将軍に「君は俺の親友だ。うちの妹と是非婚姻してこの地を二人で統治してくれ」と言いだした程である。

結局、その婚姻話は成立はしなかった。
急に話を持ちかけられた妹のジャンヌから、獅子心王は全てを凍てつかせるような冷たい目で説教をされたとかされなかったとか。

―――英霊になった後でさえも記憶に残っていたその祝宴の空気こそが、マスターへの返礼に相応しい。そう考えた獅子心王の行動は神速の名に恥じぬ速さであった。チョコをもらう前からマスターを連れ去る程に。

妹がその場に居れば、婚姻の話を持ち込まれた時と同じ目でこう言った事だろう。
「そういうところですよ、兄様」と。

A return gift from Richard the Lionheart.

During crucial peace negotiations, the sound of a stringed instrument played by a female musician along with her singing seized the lion's heart. It was so moving, the king declared to the opposing general, "You are my dear friend. Marry my sister and rule this land together." Ultimately, the marriage did not come to fruition. It is said—or perhaps not—that this sudden proposal led to his sister Jeanne giving him a lecture and a glare that could have frozen the blood in his veins.

Even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, the memory and mood of that feast remained etched upon Richard's mind and Richard decided that it would be a fitting return gift for his Master. Richard the Lionheart's actions were swift and bold, as befit his name, so fast that he snatched Master away before even receiving the chocolate. Had his sister been present, she would likely have given him that same icy glare as when he made that marriage proposal so long ago and said, "THAT is exactly what I'm talking about, dear brother."
