Yes, they kind of had monarchs back home. He'd known an honest to goodness princess. But she'd been a piece of work... And sheltered to boot. So maybe there was something to that?

"Sorry, sorry... Not laughing at you!" Duo promised once he'd caught his breath. "Just... remembered some psycho chick who used to chase around a friend of mine asking him to kill her. She was a Princess!"
