[k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Habetrot But I'm not going to fight Morgan. I'm going to see how things play out here. [k] ＠Habetrot That said... [k] ＠Habetrot If you're going to fight her, I'd like you to take her on and give her such a beating, she'll have no choice but to admit she's outclassed.

[k] ＠Grímr the Sage My goal is to ensure the faerie[sr]of paradise fulfills her duty. [k] ＠Grímr the Sage As long as Altria stays alive, she can always try again even if she doesn't defeat Morgan tomorrow.

Accept now this bloodied crown.” [k] ＠Habetrot “Ring. Ring. Like raging thunder. Like weeping flame. Let us harken to the six bells ringing.” [k] ＠Habetrot So far, everything's played out just as it said. [k] ＠Habetrot Altria rang the six bells, has a foreign mage watching out for her, and tomorrow, she'll be within arm's reach of the throne. [k] ＠Habetrot As far as I can tell, her and Morgan's Spirit Origins are evenly matched, and their support teams are, too. [k] ＠Habetrot So it will all come down to tomorrow. [k] [charaFace B 9] ＠Habetrot That said...I really don't like the image of a bloodied crown. It's gotta be talking about Morgan's blood staining the crown after her defeat, right? [k] ＠Habetrot Dammit, Ainsel, couldn't you have chosen better imagery for the Child of Prophecy's victory? [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Habetrot I mean, it probably also means that Morgan's been squeezing Britain hard for a long time now, but still... [k] [charaFace B 11] ＠Habetrot ...

[k] ＠Grímr the Sage So tell him to gather up his hundred best soldiers and have them see me. You'll find him in the officers' tent. [k] ？1：Got it. Play nice with Habetrot. ？2：Thanks.
