You're not--older you isn't a king to us. We were all in this bullshit together, and we're not his subjects, even if we...kind of made a kingsglaive around him--look, you're just Ardyn, but like, a younger kid version of the Ardyn we know, so no, we're not gonna bow or call you Your Majesty or anything. Arianna might call you Lord, but that's just because she's really polite and makes titles for people.

We're...your friends? You--jesus, god, you don't get friendship, that's right, fuck, okay.
