Kyou Kara Maou but Yuuri is the one who introduces people to a tradition for once. It goes a little like this -

There's a rumor in court that the King doesn't really love his fiance, and sees him as a friend or brother in arms. They got engaged for political reasons, you see. Or by mistake. There's no intent there. A few dream of proposing to the king, and have him maybe accept, but most know that's a moot point- he's always with Lord Weller, his bodyguard. No one can get past that man, less of all close enough to the king to actually strike him. So, the smart ones decide a better way to get into the king's good graces and into his inner circle would be by proposing to his fiance. Free him of an unwanted arrangement, become something like a sibling in law by marrying his long time companion, AND get a drop -dead gorgeous husband?? Its too good of a deal to pass up.

And so it starts, one night during a ball at the castle. Yuuri is dancing with Greta, while Wolfram smiles tenderly from the side, and the way the gesture lights up his entire face and turns his stern demeanour angelic gives the last push of bravery a tipsy noble needed. The slap is heard throughout the hall, and everything, music included, quietens at the sound. Wolfram is frozen in place, cheek stinging. Conrad and Gwendal approach, storms in their eyes. Yuuri, confused and a little annoyed as he starts to understand what's going on, follows suit.

He has to duel the noble, of course. As the one of higher standing between him and his friend, it's either he fights the dude for Wolfram or 'gives him up'.

'You can get rid of the engagement like this', Murata points out.

'Wolf isn't an object to be passed around,' Yuuri replies, getting ready for the fight. 'And he doesn't want to marry the guy- I won't free myself by trapping him somewhere else'

He doesn't go too hard on the noble. Poor guy was kinda drunk, he probably didn't mean anything by it, and he doesn't deserve to have his shit rocked because he made an impulsive decision while deep in his glass. Yuuri can also empathize, as he, too, has felt the need to hit Wolfram in the past (and he understands his beauty is the type that makes people do dangerous things).

They think the matter is settled. That it's a one off, weird but whatever.

Then, it happens again, when Wolfram is taking a stroll through the gardens with Greta. The noble lady responsible had thought the last attempt made had failed because the man decided to slap Lord Von Bielefeld in front of the Maou. Of course, even without an emotional connection, the gesture was too disrespectful to go unpunished. She grins as her hand makes contact, uncaring about the young princess bursting into tears and running off. Wolfram, this time, gathers himself fast enough to feel pissed. If not for the guards holding him off, weary of how tradition dictates the only retribution given might come from Yuuri, he'd have cooked the woman alive.

By the time Yuuri gets there, hand in hand with a still weepy Greta, he's mad enough by the fact someone dared make his daughter cry that he duels the woman right there in the gardens. After it's done, Wolfram huffs, still indignant, and marches his king and princess back inside, leaving the guards to deal with the waterlogged lady.

Okay, the nobles think. So maybe the Maou has to save face, and feels forced to accept any challenge thrown in his own home. No big deal! Lord Von Bielefeld is escorting the King on a diplomatic meeting when a dignatary from the neighboring country, the one they are visiting, goes up to him and strikes.

Conrad is the one holding Wolfram back this time, while Yuuri, angry after a full day of negotiations going nowhere, takes the chance to work off some nervous energy and dons his sword for the duel. Murata, again, points out Yuuri could use this as a chance to end the engagement. Yuuri, who's heard Wolfram ask late at night, on a very quiet voice, 'they think me so easy to steal? Am I worth so little to them?', shuts him up with a glare. It was never funny to begin with, but now it's really, really not funny.

The general consensus is, then, that it shouldn't be done while the Maou is nearby at all, or in his castle. Pursuers gain confidence then, attacking again and again when the young lord is on patrols, back on his uncle's lands, or simply out and about. Wolfram's guards become twitchy, trying their best to stop this from happening but not having much success, dreading the moment they are sent to call for the Maou so he might fight for his fiance.

Yuuri fights no less than 15 duels, having to cut meetings short, postpone his trips to earth and cancel baseball practice to do so. He's getting angrier and angrier, frustrated and... Something else he has no name of, at how many people are apparently wanting to take his place on Wolfram's life.

He still entertains the entire thing because that's tradition, apparently, and it has to stop eventually, right?

Until one night, when they are alone in their room, Wolfram turns away from him in the bed and whispers how maybe they should end the engagement. If people think him so easily stolen, his image must be pretty bad, not at all like how a future king consort should be; and he's seen how tired Yuuri is of having to defend him. His pride and feelings are hurt, and for the first time in his life, Wolfram is contemplating giving up instead of fighting, his usual fire dimming with every careless duel.

That's when Yuuri gets up from bed, terrified and furious at the notion, and storms into the treasure room to look for the thing he needs. And during the next big feast at the castle, like the one that started this madness, he calls for attention and explains to everyone how proposals are done in Earth. How one gets down on one knee, begging their partner to accept a ring in exchange for the rest of their life together. How no one can take that ring off, except the one that put it there or the one who wears it, and even then it's by their choice alone. How it's a promise and a vow and something unbreakable, forever.

And as he says this, he kneels in front of Wolfram and presents a precious ring of emeralds and onix, and once again binds Wolfram to him.

No one else proposes to either of them, after that night, even though Wolfram's smile had shone so bright it put all the jewels in the room to shame.

Gunter doesn't stop crying for a week, while Gwendal is busy planning the wedding.

The hardcore sci-fi+ xenofiction parts of my brain are always on the lookout for literally anything I can use to extrapolate the culture of saiyans

I just hate how unreliable Vegeta technically is as anecdotal evidence bc he was only like 6 when his species disappeared so there's lots of stuff he wouldn't know bc it wasn't important either at his age or to someone in his position

What would a six year old prince need to know about child rearing. Nothing. Or the gathering of non-meat foods. He would have had people to do that (probably, but actually WE DON'T KNOW)

Ough. I would gladly write a saiyan culture textbook if I thought anybody would read it

Bring Nappa back so I can ask him about Saiyan courtship.

I never would have thought I'd get so invested in the Proseka story as much a few months ago. My favourite part has to be how pretty much everyone interacts with each other even outside of the units. So many unexpected bobds are made like this and I absolutely love it!

And also the calls to previous events and how even the tiniest details get brought up really makes me appreciate it even more. I think so far there was never an event story I hated, they all brought a bit of characterization that don't make the world stale at all.

I was afraid at first that the stories are gonna be just one time things and then move on without having the lesson learned transfer over. I was always a fan where you can see a slow but qualitative character progression and Proseka delivered in every possible way.

I might not be able to fully discuss any of the stories so far (the last story I finished was the one where Kanade tell the others how she and Mafuyu met), but I hope to soon catch up at least to the en server and the jp ones make me so damn excited to read the ones following after that!

It only saddens me to see many fans just outright dismissing other's ideas so bluntly as if they have commited some heinous crime or smth. Maybe they have a different view on the lil details than you?

That's why I might just keep the ideas I have for myself since I don't want to deal with any discourse or *gasp* makes theories before finishing the story, fully acknowledging it might not end up being right but at least I was honest with it.

Loan-ly !!!!

As on Jul 17, 2020.

Former liquor baron Vijay Mallya's attorney informed the Supreme Court on Thursday that he has offered the group of banks a comprehensive settlement package and that if it is accepted, all of the cases brought against him by the Enforcement Directorate will be resolved. This comes after Mallya's legal options to prevent his extradition to India have been exhausted.

Sources claim that Mallya filed a petition with the SC last month offering a settlement package of Rs 13,960 crores for full and final payment of the principal defaulted amount in excess of Rs 9,000 crore, even though the counsel did not specifically mention the settlement amount before a bench presided over by Chief Justice S A Bobde.

This is the greatest offer Mallya has ever offered to resolve the conflict with the group of banks and end the PMLA-registered instances of money laundering.This is only one of the numerous carrots Mallya occasionally hung at the end of a stick. Let him make a deposit before traveling to India "He hinted that Mallya would be extradited to India shortly in what he stated. Mallya reportedly requested asylum in the UK after losing his fight to avoid extradition in several local courts.

In 2016, a Delhi court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Vijay Mallya for retaliation and failure to appear in an ED case, even as the SC criticized Mallya for failing to disclose his assets during the hearing of a plea filed by a group of banks to recover debts. Mallya offered to deposit Rs. 4,000 crores as settlement in march 2016 for ongoing lawsuits brought by his businesses, including the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He increased the offer to Rs. 6868 crore a month later.

“Congratulations to the Government for the Covid -19 relief package, They are free to print as much money as they wish. But should a little donor like myself, who offers to repay State-owned Bank debts in full, consistently go unnoticed? Please accept my payment in full and let me go.” he had also tweeted.

After years of hearings the case has finally come to an end where the Indian Government has cleared all the cases and has accepted the compensation.

Vijay Mallya is called "The king of good times" or "the wine baron"; his moniker speaks for itself. His life's narrative describes many nations, time zones, vehicles, and occupations.

He advocates experiencing life to the fullest extent possible. Over other business executives and tycoons, he consistently projected an image of a great leader thanks to his clear vision and courage in the face of challenging and novel difficulties. He is the one who altered the popular perception of a "multinational firm."

Referred to as Richard Branson of India. Mallya's personality forms a significant portion of the Kingfisher brand's personality. He is regarded as a morally upright leader. He is commended for being the only person to transform his beer's image from a simple commodity into a modern lifestyle brand. In India, The Kingfisher has a 29% market share and is distributed to over 52 nations.

One of the most flamboyant CEOs in Asia is Vijay Mallya, the CEO of United Breweries, which owns the Kingfisher brand. He's developed a reputation for blowing through his funds in the public trusts. Even he is regarded as a highly parotic individual. He won the bid for the priceless Kohinoor diamond in England and gave it to the Indian government as a gift.

His leadership style is reflected in his mission statement. Everybody has bad days, and business is a game of ups and downs.

I like to think about a 'what if' for Annzai - The two meeting during Dazai's port mafia days and how that would alternate their relationship. I'd say quite a bit actually.

You see, when Ann is younger they are actually more timid than they present themself in current day. They would be more soft spoken for sure yet probably would show their more cheeky side overall, even towards Dazai. And given how Dazai presents himself he would maybe act a little annoyed if he isn't too close to them just yet.

However, if he allowed them to get at least a bit closer to them he might shoot back with his own teasing, even managing to catch them off guard maybe and turn the tables rather quickly. Though he would still have a problem to show any sign of vulnerability. He cares yet has his own, unique way of showing it.

As for how they would encounter another... That would be easy honestly. Create a plot where someone around the Port Mafia got fed up with Ann's father and to lure him out they manage to find Ann and kidnap them. However, by chance Dazai recognizes who this 'girl' is and decides to take her back. And when they ask him why he just says that he owes their father a favor and leaves it at that. This is true in the beginning yet if circumstances allowed them to bobd it might go a bit further... And things go from there.

This is more of a for fun thought I like to entertain in my head. I will probably just play around with it here and there. Maybe share the stuff I cane up with, who knows. Though it's not part of the main plotline for Annzai. I just like to think of the possibilities and how Annzai would interact with another in the past. Maybe it could show different sides for the both of them as well.

As for what happens when Dazai leaves the Port Mafia? As Ann is intended to be somewhere in between and not really on either side they are free to go wherever. They would probably come along with him though, with their role as a 'neutral' party remaining unchanged (it is nit really neutral but Ann has no official affiliation).
