Everyone was shocked by the Knight King's blatant intrusion, but the most shocking thing was not on the battlefield, but in the grove outside the battlefield. There was a girl in a cloak with a face that was almost identical to Altria's. She was Gray.
The girl who thought she was gloomy and unlikable bit her lip in distress.
She is struggling.
On the one hand, she hated this face that did not belong to her but had to belong to her, and even her ancestor, who was the source of it, had a sense of resistance to it.
On the other hand, the ancestor, the king that everyone in the family admired, was too brilliant and dazzling. No matter how she resisted in her heart, no matter how she told herself not to stay here, to run far away, the farther the better, to hide in a corner where no one knew, her feet and eyes could not move at all, and she could only stare blankly at her ancestor.
"How cool."
Flat beside him was dancing and shouting.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, this was indeed what Grey was thinking.
"It tastes like Gray Kiss, and the face is the same, Gray Kiss—"
On the other side, Sfin thoughtlessly spoke out the fact that hurt Gray the most. Of course, before he finished speaking, he was scolded mercilessly by Faker.
"Just shut up, you wolf cub!"
As a magician of the Age of Gods, she was well aware of the price that had to be paid for this similarity.
"Why? It's so—"
This time even Orange couldn't help it and stomped on Sfen's foot with her high heels.
"If I were you, I would never say another word."
Sifen said she felt very aggrieved. What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to tell the truth
In the end, it was the common-sense, high-emotional-intelligence Colles who couldn't stand it anymore and whispered a few words into Sven's ear, who then dropped his head and ears and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Grey."
Gray seemed undecided. She continued to bite her lips until they bled, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear:
"What should I do? What should I do... Yad..."
"I have no idea."
Yade's voice was inexplicably complex and softer than ever before. This guy who usually loved to mock Gray for being weak, for the first time spoke in a gentle voice to comfort her, like a caring older brother.
"She won't know. Only you can decide this."
"Me, me?"
"It's you, and only you - all I can tell you is that no matter what decision you make, I will support you, and the same goes for her over there."
"Yade? Are you... okay?" At this time, Gray finally felt that something was wrong with the "friend" who had grown up with her.
"I, of course I'm fine, I just might have to leave you for a while."
"Ehhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~"
Gray panicked.
The "threshold" hidden under the cloak is ready to move.

At the same time, Roman, who was a thousand meters above the sky, stopped toasting with Karna for the first time.
"What's wrong?" Karna, who was always sensitive, asked in a low voice, and his relaxed body immediately tensed up.
"Nothing, don't be nervous." Roman waved his hand and continued to eat popcorn and drink Coke. "I just feel that there is something indescribable in the timing of the cut, the exaggerated style... It doesn't look like the Knight King - is it you? Flower Magician."
"The flower magician? The great sage Merlin?" Karna's sharp eyes changed in an instant.
"That's him, but you don't need to worry about it. Magicians should handle magicians' matters. Well, let's see what you want to do."
The holder of the highest level of "clairvoyance" in human history looked thoughtfully at a distant place, as if he was talking to himself, or asking someone.

"Tell me, did you do this?"
In a fantasy world that was offset a thousand meters horizontally, opposite to the vertical direction, "Black-blooded Eclipse Princess" put her hands on her hips and asked a similar question.
The petite black cat she was staring at finally let out a DIO—no, a frivolous laugh.
"Of course it's me, the handsome Merlin Oni-san, an experienced love expert."
"What on earth are you planning?"
"Don't look at me like that. I have no intention of going against the power of inhibition. I just want to take this opportunity to end an old matter. Those stupid gravekeepers are still unwilling to give up after so many years, and they have almost completed it. However, this won't work. Morgan missed it once, and he can't make the same mistake a second time. If you want to reappear in Altria, you have to ask me if I agree!"
At this moment, Merlin had a bit of the aura of an eternal man, a legendary magician. But it was only for a moment, and the next second, he returned to his frivolous and playful state.
"Of course, the most important thing is to support Altria's love. Think about it carefully. When you are trapped in the enemy camp and in a very dangerous situation, and someone shows up handsomely, rushes to your side, and fights side by side with you, how touched you will be, and your favorability will definitely increase. This is a classic plot that will never fade - wow wow wow."
Merlin became more and more excited as he spoke. Suddenly, a cold wind blew across his (Lian's) forehead. He turned his head and found that a big tree not far away was cut in half by something. Looking back again, he saw that Elquet's hands had bent into the sharp claws that were the signature of a vampire.
The magician who appeared in the world through the black cat's body swallowed his saliva involuntarily and asked cautiously: "What happened? Your Highness, the pure white princess?"
"Nothing." Elquet shook his head and looked at his hands in confusion. "I'm just bored here and feel bad."
"... You're not in a bad mood because you're bored here. You're in a bad mood because Artoria stole the limelight."
Although Merlin's voice was low, it did not escape Elquet's ears, which made her feel worse, and her hands moved back and forth rhythmically.
Cathy Palug, who was lying on the side, jumped up, screamed, and rushed towards the black cat.
Its meaning is very simple - don't move, let me do it, beating Merlin is what I am best at.
Unfortunately, Merlin's reaction was faster. He shrank his body immediately. Amid the surging white mist symbolizing dreams, his frivolous attitude instantly faded away, replaced by the original quietness and tranquility.
That's right, facing the two big bugs, Elquet and Cathy Palug, Merlin decisively backed down and returned his consciousness to Lian.
Seeing this, Elquet pouted his mouth to vent his dissatisfaction, while Cathy Paluge started to curse directly.
"Fufufufufufufufu--(Merlin is a bastard, Merlin is a coward, Merlin is a retard...)
This caused Artelucci to roll her eyes: "A bunch of idiots."
She is the most perfect and noblest Kurohime in the world of Dead Apostles. However, the longer she spends with these weird guys, the more her princess demeanor becomes shaky.
Mother, can my daughter apply for a replacement? I can't do this job anymore.
PS: Karna: You may not believe it, but King Solomon has already forced me to drink a large bucket of Coke.
PS2: Gaia: Rejected, you are my only conscience. (I envy Alaya, there are more and more part-time workers, such as Hei Chongtian who has just joined the luxury lunch, and Olga (fog) who never stops).
PS3: Solomon: Heiji, you can't do this. Learn from me. You have food and drink, and you can slack off all day long. When you are in a good mood, you can even play with little Mary. Don't live your life too comfortably.
