To tell the truth, Utena was very limited in her knowledge of real royal families and so-called "real" princes. She knew that some still existed in Europe, and that was about it. No one ever seemed to mention them when she talked about her own prince either, so it was odd to hear Dr. Jones asking along those lines now.

"Uh, well I guess it's more the second one. I don't know about royal families and their princes, but from what I understand, those people are just princes in name. They're not the kind of prince who saved me all those years ago. He was more of a storybook prince, I guess you could say. He had a regal bearing, a gentle smile, and no desire in the world but to be noble and help people," she explained, a wistful smile on her face. "Those are the kind of things I want to do in my life. I want to live heroically, with style. I want to be strong and help people whenever and however I can."
