We love a wing-empress. I can feel the childhood friend energy coming off the emperor too: "Just because I told you not to hurt her doesn't mean you need to get hurt yourself you dumbass"
Btw. I can't believe they managed to pull this off twice in a series in a series where no characters have testicles: Two major characters typically wearing male garments by circumstance showing off to their partners that they are, in fact, just as stunning as a woman. Huge fan of this
