The Ace of Fate - I

Time passed silently, and it had been nearly a month since the soul surgery of Helen and Ravenna concluded.

During this month, nothing particularly noteworthy occurred in the imperial capital, except for… the explosion at a central alchemy workshop of the Alchemy Association.

That day, Evora's wild and arrogant laughter echoed over the imperial capital. No one knew what kind of power this tyrannical princess had gained from the Etheric Armament, but it was enough to give her the courage to disregard Ephesande's authority... It seemed her gains were extraordinary.

Flamelle continued his final creation, with Annelisa always by his side, while Helen, who had seized Ravenna's soul, was preparing a gift for Ansel.
