Of course, I would be happy to maintain a friendly relationship with you. You are a reliable person in every respect. Otherwise, why do you think I have always put up with your sharp tongue and sarcastic remarks? Is it because your voice is particularly pleasant to listen to?
Ah, forgive me. That was an inappropriate joke, but friends should be able to speak freely with one another without worrying too much about formalities.
The truth is that I don't have a particularly good temper either. There are far too many things in this palace that can make a person irritable. Therefore, I am willing to overlook your unapproachable nature. After all, there are plenty of fools in this world with whom I have no desire to speak, either.
