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.
