——You crossdressing pervert who deserves to be burned at the stake.
The Princess's true thoughts were silently conveyed through her piercing, emerald eyes. Swept by that resentful and angry glance, Roland shuddered, and the thought of "I should just find a secluded place to die" grew even stronger.
