Sakuramoria

First, there was an incomprehensible crime involving beheadings, then a conflict between a demon and a city madwoman, and now, enchanted boots that bestow kisses. After the first two incidents, this outcome should have been expected, but it was already too late. This prompted Leila to ask General Mandrake, "When will Levisia return to NAILS, intending to stop the insane ritual being conducted by her grandfather?" But now was not the time for jokes. Moreover, considering His Majesty's magical talents and his increasingly apparent inclinations, such a turn of events did not seem too far from the truth. Given the current state of affairs, the time mage assumed that Levisia might also suspect something, and Thyme was left in NAILS as her trusted confidant. Perhaps the king himself suspected something similar, given that he left hints about upcoming events in the test. It was as if he were not a monarch, but some kind of maniac. Despite the fact that such initiatives were repulsive to her and many of her peers, as well as to the "Queen of NAILS" herself, the time mage was ready to fulfill the requirement. As she once wrote in the test, pride should not be confused with stupidity. Moreover, it was unknown how her fellow countrywoman's "rule" would correspond to the program she had declared; for now, the rank was purely nominal. But if a disciplinary committee is indeed created, it is unlikely that its composition will be determined by Futaba herself. Most likely, Duncan, although now it would be more accurate to call him Dun, will choose those who are "closer," provided they do not cause trouble. For example, Fortis's chances of obtaining such a position, or even of preserving his own life, were now approaching zero. And yet, for some of them, the ordinary students of NAILS, this was one of the least vulnerable positions in the current circumstances. And Futaba would clearly prefer to have someone nearby whom she could at least somewhat trust. But for now, Leila was in no hurry to step forward, waiting for the potential conflict to be resolved and, subsequently, for the possible oath-taking by Barbarian.
