Morning
- My name is Aiyano. Thank you, Ella-san, you are very kind, - the priestess said with a polite smile and a nod as she said goodbye.

On the way to the hotel, she starts a conversation:
- I hope this dove will do its job perfectly. And the girl is pleasant - this town continues to warm my soul. It's beautiful and peaceful here...

After a moment of silence, she continues:
- Do you remember our first meeting, Edgelord-kun? When you offered me "something" in exchange for a card, and I refused, citing my religious beliefs... I didn't come up with that on the spot to avoid something unpleasant. It would have been much easier for me to accept it and deal with the issue once and for all, even if I would consider it something unworthy in my worldview, although my worldview would be different in that case, because it is built on the bricks of the path I follow, - she paused for a moment. - You, as a resident of a modern progressive empire with its relaxed morals, may find this wild or unbelievable, but it is the truth in a way that you cannot even dream of. Our people have survived times of severe hardship and long, bloody wars - both offensive and defensive, against entities whose very mention fills my mind with disgust, and were forged by these events, with the will of the Kami-sama, into what they are today. That is why we honor our traditions, code, and beliefs - against the grain of globalist trends. Can you imagine, for example, that a samurai - a warrior - who has failed his lord is expected to disembowel himself in a ceremonial manner in order to leave life, preserving his honor? Silly, isn't it? After all, there is a reasonable principle: "survive today to fight tomorrow." But that is his path. It gives meaning to his existence and solidifies the contract with the Kami-sama, which has ensured protection and prosperity for our people.

She sighs.
- I am not a samurai, but such a view of things is close to me. There are things in our universe that are more important than transient states such as "earthly material life." Therefore... I would like to die one day in a heroic battle with an otherworldly entity, or at least of old age. But if it comes to my version of disgrace, then I will not escape such a fate. I am telling you all this not to influence you in any way, but rather... just so that you understand. Now that I have decided to adopt a policy of sincerity. It is not the path that most women choose - usually it chooses them, as it was in my case. But I do not see myself outside of it and intend to go through it to the end. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to the death of the soul and all of my being.

After walking a dozen steps, she stretches and yawns with feigned carelessness:
- Hoo-o, listen to her, bringing darkness into this beautiful summer day. She found the time and place for such conversations, what can you do. All these newcomers need is a little real work - and the nonsense will clear out of their heads, - but despite the tone, as she said this, her sad gaze wandered somewhere on the distant cliffs on the edge of the visible horizon.
- You are right. Serving a lord, a homeland, a people, some idea, gods, or something similar seems like utter foolishness to me - I would never be able to devote my life to something so ephemeral. Eat or be eaten - that is the principle I have lived by since the beginning of my consciousness, and there has never been a place for high ideals in this paradigm of existence. And yet... - Following Aiyano, Lord takes the woman's hand. - For some unknown reason, all these alien concepts that fill your being cannot help but touch the depths of my soul. Yes, I remember our first meeting very well, it was not so long ago, but it seems like it was so long ago. A new, interesting toy appeared before my eyes - six out of ten, not a warrior and not a queen, but a fun, wise, and unique woman in her own way. At that moment, I just wanted to play with you, to see how you would cope with the situations I created, and, by Akonia, everything else, whether it was a risk to my own life or to the innocent people who, unfortunately, became involuntary participants in this game. But at some point, the situation changed. I think it was after my duel with the old man, when you, having run around the city, stepped onto the threshold of my office in XXX again, with both fear and confidence in your eyes. At first, I could not explain these new feelings to myself, but after today, I am sure that it is love. - He hugs her. - Remember, I offered to marry us? I did it "for fun," I was curious to see your reaction, and maybe even "dare" you, because even as a joke, I was ready to do it just to avoid losing and to please my own ego. But now I understand that even a phantom cannot steal someone else's heart, and no threats or violence will solve this puzzle. Unfortunately, I was not taught to be tactful in life, and I cannot convey my feelings in a way that is appropriate for this. - He puts a ring of black metal with a dark red gemstone on Aiyano's ring finger. - To die in a battle with an otherworldly entity, to die of old age, to achieve immortality... I want to meet any future with you. But despite the flame raging in my chest, I understand that our relationship has become one-sided, and it is unlikely that at this time it will cause anything but indignation in you, so I will not rush you for an answer. If by the end of this divine comedy I do not hear your consent, then I will consider it a refusal and will plan my future life accordingly, and until then, let this ring protect you and serve as a reminder of my feelings.

Lord's Ring
Protects against injuries, curses, negative effects, mental influences, automatic healing after the end of the battle.
It is indestructible.

Having finished his confession, the Phantom releases the woman from his embrace.

- Farella is a beautiful country, but I no longer want to keep you here as a hostage, so we can return to the empire at any moment, just say the word.
