:23:00
the Northern provinces are no longer
loyal to Ayothaya
:23:04
The reason? His Majesty appears to
have lost interest
:23:08
in the affairs of his Kingdom
:23:09
He seems not even to care that
the new King of Toungoo
:23:13
went and thumbed his nose at
the Mon in Hongsawadi
:23:17
with a mere 500 soldiers
:23:22
Do you know why he went there?
:23:27
To stage an piercing ceremony
at Shwe-mawdaw Temple
:23:33
Hundreds upon hundreds
of Mon soldiers
:23:36
quaking with fear of a single child
:23:40
Surely, as the Second King
:23:42
His Majesty trusted you
to handle these matters on his behalf
:23:46
That's not the reason.
:23:50
It's because he can think of nothing
but his new consort. He's infatuated
:24:13
Why must you treat me with
so much deference?
:24:16
Are we no longer brother and sister?
:24:19
Your Highness is now the wife of
the Crown Prince
:24:23
You shouldn't even be talking to me
:24:26
I will, with your permission,
take my leave.
