Cassius smirked. "You underestimate me, my dear," he said. "I won't even need that long to deal with someone like the Chamberlain Duke. I guarantee you that I'll personally put an end to his insignificant existence."
"Yeah, whatever," Yuna said with a pout and a small blush. "Big words coming from a bad guy."
Cassius chuckled before vanishing from his spot. He patted the 12th Princess on the head, enjoying her cute reaction for a moment before disappearing just as she swatted at him.
Reappearing beside the puzzled Opal, he patted her head as well. "Keep an eye on that troublesome sister of yours, will you?" he voice transmitted directly to her mind. "I don't want her doing anything stupid. And I believe I can trust you to make sure that doesn't happen, right?"
Flustered, Opal bobbed her head. She averted her misty gaze away from the piercingly playful glare focused on her in passing.
