Because in truth? It probably was the basis for a bedtime story, Yosuke-kun. And I'll tell the story like one.
[Setting down her drink, she takes a breath.]
And yes, it is strange, but it is the truth in my world at least. But there's a reason I'm bringing it up.
[Looking down, she shivers as memories start flooding back.]
There was a monster, like in all fairy tales. A powerful demon that lived in the sun grew jealous of the wise queen and her power, and manipulated a human sorceress on Earth into raising up the people there to attack and the Silver Millennium. The sorceress and the queen fought for days, with the princesses of each planet and the Prince of the Earth all taking part in the battle against the invaders. All of them were powerful, like gods of old, or ancient angels, and the attack was brutal, with many lives lost in the process.
In the end, though, the Prince's four guardians betrayed him, coerced by promises of power, and he was slain. The Princess of the Moon Kingdom took her own life in her grief. After that, things changed, and the princesses fought against the demon itself, managing to seal it away for a time before the Queen used her magic to make the cycle start over, reincarnating the princesses and the prince.
[A pause, because that was a lot of information, and she looks at him, waiting for a reaction or a question.]
