conversations.value:  Why did he have to go and remember my name? I wished he would remember Claire's instead! "Indeed, and my role brings me great happiness every single day."

conversations.prefix: Thane:

conversations.value:  And why did he know so much about me? If he was that observant, I wish he'd use it to notice the furious glare coming from Claire, who had hit maximum jealousy levels. "It's called the King's Game." Or as we called it in Japan, the Ousama Game. I was lying, of course. The game in no way measured the skills necessary to rule a kingdom.

conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  I explained. Every round, each player drew a card with a number written on it, and whoever drew number one was the king for that round. The king then issued orders to the others without knowing who held what card, like “number X and number Y have to do Z.”

conversations.value:  I quickly drew up sheets of paper and numbered them one to four. Thane, Claire and Lene each drew one, and I took the one that was left. "Okay, who's the king?" I asked.

conversations.value:  "Oh, it's me." It was Thane. As I'd expected. Thane had a hidden setting called the "Hard-to-read, lucky prince." Most Revolution players were confused by this title. What was lucky about being sandwiched between two highly skilled brothers, having an insurmountable inferiority complex, and being romantically pursued by the villainess, Claire? The official explanation was as follows: due to having such exceptional brothers, Thane was always surrounded by other talented people, which was good fortune in the long run. That explanation didn't explain what was fortunate about Claire, of course, but the point was that Thane was lucky in a way that wasn't immediately obvious.

conversations.value:  "Er… Um… Well…" It seemed Thane couldn't decide on a command. He might have been a prince, but he didn't have much experience pushing people around. It didn't come as naturally to him as it did to the self-absorbed Rod and sly Yu. He hemmed and hawed for a while and finally settled. "Number two will hold hands with number three."
