Carmillia took in the praise of the Perrench King unabashed. Given how things have been going since he enrollment, she was almost surprised something had went her way for once. The attack was ultimately an opportunity for her to flaunt her skillset. 

“… Please step forward,” he said. 

[color=ab0000]“You honor me, my king,”[/color] she responded. 

As King Rouis continued his ramblings, Carmillia stole a glance at Penny. Though she was trying to appear calm, Carmillia could sense her unease. She must have realized her earlier folly by now. Had the king realized too and was playing the fool? Or had he been too focused on battle to hear Penny’s earlier call?

[color=ab0000]Penelope de Perrence… or is your first name false too?[/color] pondered Carmillia. 

She had now obtained a powerful card that could serve multiple purposes as long as she played it right. All that was left to do was to tie up the loose ends. Fortunately for her, the others present at the time had been those two.

Yvette Chamonix was currently a mess despite the fact she never directly contributed to the battle, she was currently doing her best to reign in her sobbing. It was a possibility she had already forgotten but it was clear she was not currently thinking anything of the fact that Penny had called King Rouis papa.

Maddeleine Marchand on the other hand… was failing superbly at concealing the fact she was glancing between the King Rouis and Penny. They would need to have a talk.

He was currently situated some distance away from King Rouis and his entourage. The Tan Keoulian girl which had been the catalyst to his participation had strayed further and further away during the battle, targeting those lurking in the back. Seeing as the Honor Guard had been doing fine, he had followed after her in order to lend his aid if it was necessary. It had not been. In the end, Flavius’s final contributions to the battle was a total of two men but it was likely the result would not have changed even if he had chose not to step in. The battle was over now and whatever remnants of the enemy were already scattering.

What caught his interest was the magusjaeger that the Tan Keoulian girl had just attempted to fight. He had vanished. It was nothing more than a simple illusion; a conjured projection and likely invisibility that concealed him. However, it had been performed at such a high degree of skill that he had been unable to discern it until the illusion was released.

[i]Again?[/i] thought Flavius.

It was not an easy feat to elude his senses. And yet he seemed to be encountering such people repeatedly recently. The numerous men who had snatched away the Rettanese girl—Illanaq Sigmundottir and now this maegusjaeger.

Flavius clenched his teeth. Normally, such matters did not bother him but his pride was acting up. He needed to prove himself by-

"The next time you see her-“

Flavius whipped around and took defensive action, drawing his dagger and leaping back off his perch onto another one.

"-tell your lady that she is on the wrong side."

The maegusjaeger was one thing—he had been at a distance. For someone to so casually sneak up on Flavius while he was on guard was [i]unthinkable[/i]. It was a man in a white mask standing atop a tiny branch a short distance away from him. The men that had wounded his pride were of similar skill to his. The man before him was not. This… this man was an another level. 

“Also,” he continued. "You may want to watch your footing."

Flavius fell. 

His perch had disintegrated into nothing. The man in the mask had disappeared without a trace. Revidian? He had not concealed his accent. It was possible the accent was a ruse but Flavius couldn’t imagine someone of such strength relying on such petty tricks.

Normally he would have been able to recover mid-air from such a trivial thing but perhaps it was the shock or Flavius wanting a more… [i]physical[/i] wake up call. He let himself crash into the ground below with a loud thud.

[hider=Summary]Carmillia takes in the praise from King Rouis while scheming. Yvette is too busy crying to remember that Penny called him her papa but Maddeleine clearly remembers. Flavius has fallen from a tree near Eun-Ji.[/hider]
