"……!"
Maxwell shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine at Inglis’ seemingly innocent smile. There was nothing "cute" about her actions despite her small and charming appearance. That smile wasn’t one of a harmless girl—it was the confident grin of a predator gazing at helpless prey.
This little girl—no, she claimed to be sixteen, but regardless, she looked like nothing more than a small, cute, Runeless maiden. Yet somehow, she possessed overwhelming power.
(WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THISSS????!!! I heard she was the hero who defeated Prisma, but this MONSTER is something else entirely! I thought the Hyrule Menaces I brought were monsters, sent to lay Charalia to waste! But her? This… this can’t be real! A single person wielding this much power is simply impossible! At this rate… she’ll destroy Venefique! My beloved homeland, the great Venefique, all by herself!!!)
"I won't allow it!" Maxwell realized he had no choice. This was someone he needed to eliminate, even if it cost him his life.
Moreover, he sensed a deeper grudge, one that seemed to transcend lifetimes. He couldn’t explain it, but the sin of the person standing before him would never be forgiven.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?" Inglis tilted her head, puzzled.
For a fleeting moment, Maxwell thought he saw the faint silhouette of a dignified elder standing behind Inglis. An ancient resentment seemed to stir within him, whispering of a grudge he had held for an impossibly long time.
