A Fully Constructed Stage - III

"Is that all?" Ansel asked with a smile, seemingly unsurprised by Ravenna's choice.

"That's all."

"Very well, let it be so."

Ansel nodded briskly, appearing not to plan any further action, ready to depart: "Notify me once you're prepared. I am quite looking forward to this game."

The smile on his face only intensified the unease in Ravenna's heart.

What exactly is Ansel thinking? What does he intend to do? From this game... what could he possibly gain?

Ronger, that man, they...

At that moment, Ravenna's heart suddenly quivered. 

And that matter, what exactly happened… between that man and grandfather? 

Why would he speak in the tone of a victim, uttering such words? Why, despite having stolen Grandfather's achievements and gained wealth and honor at the Etheric Academy, has he fallen to such a state?

Ansel had said... he would help me, so why has he completely ceased to mention this matter?
