“Have you ever regretted it?”
“Your subject does not regret it. I do not want Your Majesty to become a laughingstock in the eyes of the world for my sake.
My emperor is a dragon among men, not a foolish ruler whom others say is obsessed with men. Nor do I want to be a Daji who brings ruin to the nation. I want to be the valiant general who helps you pacify the realm.”
Two lovable goofballs + silliness + a tiny bit of coercion
