"Then you are more than welcome to join us, Letty Winchock. However, your own grievances against Asgard hold little to no value to me, if you want to avenge yourself you'll have to overcome all of these warriors, before setting hands on the Crimson Knight." Emilia replied to Letty after the masked woman approached her.

The aftermath of the previous night’s banquet was yet to be made known, yet the Ring of Blood could not be sated, as if it was a big creature hungering for more and more to feed it’s gapping maw. And such Emilia intended to provide as the thunderous rumbling of the masses who filled the colosseum could testimony. Once again, the nation of thieves and murderers as well as those from other lands who came here to witness one of the greatest events to ever happen on the story of the Imperium, quieted itself as Emilia raised her fine, doll-like hand.

“Today is a day to celebrate the victorious and honor the deceased. The day when the ones who’ll proceed to the final round of this once in a life time event will be determined as such, my dear gladiators, I have a special treat for you. The eight who remained steady will be facing each other until only two of you are left standing.” The crowd broke into a wild cheer as Emilia laid down the rules of the penultimate round, which was supposed to be a battle royale between the victors of the previous one. The Princess raised her hand again and silence followed suit, “Furthermore, to turn this into a massacre worthy of my father’s name, how about we add a small extra? Fufufu…”

With a wave of Emilia’s hand, the gates lining up the walls collapsed, revealing a pack of beasts that looked like they were no less of the Dollmaster’s toys as Asgard was at the moment. With another sign, “Well then, shall the merrymaking begin?” the carnage broke loose.

“Oh, Ruxy, you don’t need to be like this. It feels like you and I don’t even have a story together.” Mikoto said as the rabid wolf girl jumped away from her. “I know, to commemorate our reunion after all those years I’ll give you this!” Mikoto produced a box of S.Snax, from inside her backpack and offered it to Ruxen. “Your favorite, right? Don’t worry, it’s absolutely on the house, hehe!” The witch grinned as she touched her nose with a thumb.

When Chen came and asked her about the Relic, Mikoto smiled a smile brighter than the sun over their heads and said as she beckoned him to come near, “Well, my friend, do you think this Peddler Witch here can’t hold her word? I’ll tell ya, I got the best of them Relics here.” As she said so, Mikoto opened a small pouch revealing a stone much like the one Chen had, just that it shone with a golden radiance that made one try to cover their eyes to avoid blindness. “See, the genuine Yellow Relic, but ya know, this ain’t something I can simply hand over, so ya gotta impress me before.”

“Anyway, Chen… I’m sure that Librarian pal must have quite a… Library, huh? Maybe if you get me there I can think of selling this sweet babe to you.” Mikoto than straightened her posture and shifted her gaze to the side a she finished her statement “Of course there’s nothing suspect with my interest on that. I just, hmm… love books, that’s it. If you don’t believe me you, you can ask Ruxy here, ain’t it, Ruxy?”
