#shi ryuuki is a confident bisexual blorbo

[bloodyrosemisaki]

I'm rewatching this anime again too and I had to stop on several occasions to figure out how I never caught on to the blatant sexual innuendos and queer representation in this show

Kouyuu: It will be all for naught if I can't lick our majesty of his inconvenient blabbering! *angry* Ryuuki: I think I'd enjoy it if you licked me... Kouyuu: *confused* ???

Is this supposed to be one of Ryuuki's dirty jokes? My favorite thing in re-reading Saiunkoku manga or re-watching the anime is finally noticing the sexual innuendo in their dialogue because I'm older now lol Ryuuki and Shuuei have so many of it I swear. Kouyuu is dense so most of the time he don't get it. I think Kouyuu can be consider as AroAce too. Yeah, he got married as a duty but this man is not really interested in romance.
