conversations.value:  "Why did you try to announce your availability to Claire just now?" I demanded. Philine was definitely, definitely interested in Claire. What happened to her being a shy character? I mean, sure, this was still nothing compared to my advances, but still.

conversations.value:  Stop that. It’s not cute. Okay, it’s kind of cute, but you’re not fooling me! I straightened, fed up. Time for a curveball. I was sick and tired of this. "Lady Philine, is it your intention to start an illicit relationship with Miss Claire?"

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Whoa, who said anything about love? Don’t just go putting words in my mouth! This is why ditzy princess characters are insufferable… "What would the imperial family think if they found out about you flirting with a taken woman?" I asked.

conversations.value:  "The Nur Empire practices polygamy," Philine said matter-of-factly.
conversations.prefix: Philine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Uh…" Oh, right. The Empire had different marital practices than Bauer. Here, monogamy wasn’t enforced, and same-sex marriage was recognized—the latter largely due to Revo-Lily being a yuri game. "Besides, you two aren’t legally married yet, right?" Philine asked.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Y-yes, but, um…"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Besides, as a member of the imperial family, I’m a much better match for Claire, a former noble."
conversations.prefix: Philine:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  Huh? Why do I feel backed into a corner all of a sudden?
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "That’s not it, Lady Philine." Claire stepped in to chide her. "It’s true, Rae and I are neither legally married nor from similar social backgrounds."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "So I’m right," Philine said. "But I’ve come to realize something, you see. Marriage isn’t just a political tool or a way to repay the parents that raised you. Marriage is for your own happiness."
conversations.prefix: Philine:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Your…own…happiness…?" Philine murmured.
conversations.prefix: Philine:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I’m not saying entering a political marriage or marrying to make your parents happy is wrong, but it’s also important to marry someone special to you."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "I…see."
conversations.prefix: Philine:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "In that regard, Rae is perfect for me. Even if we are not legally married, she is my irreplaceable partner. Please understand that."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Claire, now completely finished, smiled sweetly. In contrast, I wore the smuggest look ever.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I see… I understand." Even Philine had to reconsider after hearing all that. She was a reasonable girl who’d just gotten a bit carried away by making a close friend. Now, we could all go back to—

conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Wh-what are you saying, Lady Philine? Didn’t you hear what I said?" Claire asked.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Of course. I believe I can also be an irreplaceable partner you won’t regret being with." Her curveball left both Claire and I speechless.
