Change in the sacrifice

"...As the commander of my third army, you will need a great deal of support and assistance." Robin raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a confident smile.

"W- What?!" Aro barely managed to squeeze the words out, his mind struggling to process what he had just heard.

"...!!" Flora, standing beside him, widened her eyes in utter shock. Without thinking, she instinctively dug her sharp nails into Aro's hand, her grip tightening.

"Keeyah!!" Aro let out a sudden yelp of pain, snapping out of his stunned daze. "Why in the world did you do that?!" he exclaimed, shaking his hand slightly.

"...I just needed to make sure I wasn't dreaming," Flora muttered under her breath, her gaze still locked onto Robin as though he were some kind of illusion.
