Quotes
"Please hit me as much as you want. I won't blame you even if you slay me. However, I'm afraid the thing this arrogant musician has said is true. Ruknabad is the sacred object that is crucial to seal the Snake Lord. After your highness takes the throne as the righteous king, you could have priests conduct an appropriate ceremony to have it. At present, you don't need any help from that sacred sword to defeat enemies on earth."[1]
