Astri and Masayori are talking about his feelings, sitting at a bench under a cherry blossom tree. Talking to her made Masayori realize the wrong things he had been telling himself, and it was probably the main reason his father didn't choose him.
"Do you think that my father didn't choose me because I'm someone evil?" He asks her.
"No. You're not evil. And believe me when I say that. I know. Nature can see things you're even hiding from yourself." She says, and he sighs relieved. "Your father saw that your brother cared about his people and would handle the pressure of being the Emperor. That doesn't mean you're not good enough for the position. Your brother is very attentive to those around him and can sense others' energy very well. And he has Lord Renzai as his most trustful counselor. Do you really think that your brother keeps you here to make you suffer?" She inquires.
