Heroist
Weary of endless battles for the amusement of the crowd, Axel finds the strength to thank the queen for her generosity.
-- I thank you, Your Majesty. This is a generous gift, and it will undoubtedly aid me in my service, - bowing, the knight takes his leave.
After a brief rest, Himmel approaches milady Alciere and her prize.-- I believe we can consider our coalition victorious, not without your help. Thank you for staying true to your word; not everyone managed such a difficult task, - Axel carefully examined Luciferia. - What do you think, why did Lord Vistory decide to get rid of this in such a strange way?
— Your words mean a great deal, milord Axel. — Alcira bowed politely to the knight. — Without your timely summons, this contest would have been meaningless altogether. It is regrettable that my involvement proved so insignificantly brief. But alas, each one of us has been allotted their own lesson from this spectacle.
For a moment, she shifts her gaze to the maidservant and shrugs:
— The thoughts of a noble lord are beholden only to the depths of his own mind. Men of his ilk view the world through the prism of risk and gain; as for me, my grasp of such matters is, alas, infinitely far off.
