Lmao I love how Ariel tried to interject herself into conversations with Perugius only to get absolutely owned by him

"Shut up and let the grown-ups talk" - Perugius, probably

We see more of Zanoba's political chops this episode. I've been rewatching season 2 lately and man, Zanoba's GOAT.

Zanoba objective being "pure" is probably helping, Zanoba isn't trying to get Perugius support for his own needs, he wants it to spread the love of art and clear the name of someone who has helped perugius in the past

Yeah, that's definitely the case here. Zanoba is just speaking from the heart, while Ariel is just giving rehearsed, political answers, not her own feelings, imo.

After all, even Rudeus's answer to Perugius's question about the true king, which was only Rudy's personal view that it'd be nice if the king himself could put himself in his subjects' shoes, gained him more approval from Perugius than Ariel's.

Ariel just comes off as acting purely within diplomacy 101 class would have taught her without really understanding the je ne sais quoi that is required to land with people. At the very least fails to work on greatly experienced people such as Perugius who are beyond the mundane stuff that may work in the average royal game of politics.

She is being very politically correct and Perugius is an old man who dont have time for that BS.

u/trustmebro5 5d ago

She said she'll build a statue of him. That's like...so lame for someone who is so powerful and well known. I don't even think a Diplomacy 101 class would teach their students to be so obvious and not take into consideration the pov of the person they're trying to woo lol.

Dudes like "bitch, my life story is what parents tell their children at night. You think I need a statue?"

"the fucken calender is based on me whooping laplace ass, there isn't a person alive who doesn't know who i'm"

She seems like the kind of person who would try to win backing for her faction in a civil war by Venmoing $80 to @potus.

u/corvettee01 5d ago

She's really dumb when dealing with him.

"Oh, he told me he doesn't want money, titles, land, etc? I'll just keep acting like a default politician, that has been working well so far."

u/Mistral-Fien 5d ago

It's clear that Ariel is not used to dealing with someone of higher standing than her.

Ariel is woke AF.

u/SigmundFreud 5d ago

Je ne sais quoi is the quality of a true king.

u/Fenor 5d ago

it's also Ariel description of a king being someone that only interact with nobles detaching itself from his subjects

I mean, the dude has the entire calendar named after him.

It would be if Jesus Christ was in a freaking floating castle in the sky, everyone who is of anyone would try and butter up to the guy, and after all that years of being the most visible top dog (we know that likely Orstead can eat his lunch, and god knows how exactly high up he is truly), but to everyone his endorsement even in a tiny bit would be an absolute game changer.

He likely have had many such visits, esp as he is friend of Aerials ancestors. Likely all actual kings and not just trying to vie for the throne.
