[He's surprised by her interest, but hey, Natalia's someone he definitely has a few things to say about.]
I knew her when we were children- I spent a lot of time with her at the castle. One day we made a promise to ensure that the lives of our people would be first priority when we ruled Kimlasca, and after I... left, she upheld that promise even on her own. Everything she did was for the benefit of her subjects: she kept them employed, healthy, fed, and lifted their spirits when they were unhappy. In return the citizens loved her for it, and they would have died to keep her safe if they had to.
[Many had, actually- and the fact that she grieved for those deaths is one of the reasons Asch will always support her above the king, for reasons that go well beyond nostalgia.]
She's the heart of Kimlasca, and everyone knows it. That's what it means to be a princess.
