Games with princes ~Sein-sama's case~


 * Rei compares Sein to Claire in terms of being troublesome.
 * Rei explains the appeal of Sein:
 * His appearance is rather admirable yet it gives off an uncomfortable impression.
 * Mysterious handsome men garner attention but Sein comes off as shady.
 * Sein is troublesome in that he gives off gloomy, antisocial vibes.
 * Sein has been avoiding Rei since the test but Rei's maid position puts them into contact.
 * Claire continues find ways to interact with him.
 * Rei finds this brave of Claire as Sein's character misses many of the signs.
 * Rei feels that she can admire Claire and work to maker her happy.
 * This leads her to support Claire's feelings for Sein.
 * Rei uses her knowledge of an in-game event to bring Claire closer to Sein.
 * Sein's hobby is playing the harp which is noted to be masterful.
 * The protagonist is supposed to stumble upon Sein playing.
 * She will then praise him but be rebuffed by Sein.
 * Rei guides Claire into the in-game event while on their way to a tea party.
 * As predicted, Claire assumes the role of the protagonist.
 * Rei fails to stop Claire from approaching Sein.
 * In-game, the most favorable outcome comes from waiting until he stops playing.
 * Interrupting him ends up irritating him.
 * Despite both Claire and Lene complimenting him, Sein finds the harp isn't useful for his possible duties as a king.
 * Sein's ideal vision of being a king is King Rousseau Bauer.
 * Sein also believes he is no where close to being similar.
 * Also will not recognize his harp skills as they are not aligned with the abilities of a king.
 * As Rei approaches to help Claire, Rei notices that Sein remembers her name but barely remembered who Claire was.
 * Rei offers Sein a chance to test his qualities with a King Game.
 * A number of people draw lots with numbers on them.
 * The one with the highest number becomes the king and orders the other numbers to carry out certain actions.
 * It's a lie to help Claire but Sein believes it with some hesitation.
 * The lots can be equal to the number of players or there can be a separate lot for the King.
 * Note: Either it's known what number was left out if there was 1-4 + King, or there was a translation/writing error in round 2.
 * During the game, Rei gives more details about Sein:
 * Similar to how Yuu has a rarely seen "serious" persona, Sein has a hidden trait known as "Owner of Incomprehensible Luck."
 * Players of Revolution questioned what kind of luck it was.
 * They were quick to point out Sein was overshadowed by his siblings, suffered from inferiority, and was harassed by the game's antagonist.
 * Rei argues that it is a matter of perspective as Sein is lucky to be surrounded by talented people.
 * Although no official reason is given for Claire following Sein, Rei ultimately sees that as a benefit in Sein's case.
 * First Round
 * Sein, Claire, Lene, then Rei drew lots in that order.
 * King: Sein
 * 3: Claire
 * 2: Rei
 * #: Lene
 * Order: Number 2 hold Number 3's hand.
 * Rei uses this opportunity to hold Claire's hand and additionally uses her thumb to stroke the back of Claire's hand.
 * Claire is surprised by this and insists on holding hands in a normal way.
 * This round shows that Sein has little to no experience giving orders.
 * While Rod has confidence and Yuu is tactical, Sein's personality makes it harder for him to naturally behave like a prince.
 * This inexperience more likely comes from a modesty in his position.
 * Second Round:
 * King: Lene
 * 4: Sein
 * 2: Claire
 * 1: Rei
 * Order: Number 4 stroke Number 2's hair.
 * Lene, because of her background as a commoner, takes longer than Sein to make the command.
 * Rei jealously comments that this is part of Sein's incomprehensible luck.
 * Although Sein was hesitant, Claire rushes him to carry out the order.
 * Sein is visibly embarrassed by this.
 * Third Round:
 * King: Rei
 * 3: Lene
 * 1/2: Claire
 * 1/2: Sein
 * Order: Number one kiss Number 2.
 * Sein reacts with shock while Claire is bewildered.
 * Sein almost goes through with it but, to the disappointment of Claire, he realizes the game was a trick.
 * Before the game started, Rei had already planned in advance with Lene.
 * They rigged the game to set up Sein and Claire interactions through the form of blinking.
 * They agreed to blink out their number for each time they make commands.
 * Sein initially believes the game was a joke being played at his expense.
 * Rei talks him down by explaining (i.e., lying) that the game tests his abilities of being King by realizing the game.
 * The game was a test if Sein would obey a "reasonable order."
 * In the end, Rei changes from helping further Claire and Sein's relationship to helping build Sein's confidence.
 * Although he disliked being tested, he appreciated the acknowledgement of his qualities.
 * Rei thinks about the situation and approves that Sein didn't get carried away with the situation while acknowledging he still has many unpleasant flaws.
 * After Sein leaves, Claire asks if everything Rei admitted was true.
 * To which, Rei replies she wanted to play with Claire.
 * She asks Claire how it was to get her hair stroked by Sein and the flirting continues.
