"Princess Alexia?"
Lanci recited the name, not particularly surprised, yet still a bit taken aback.
"Do you know her?"
Abigail observed Lanci's expression.
"I encountered her a long time ago in the Shadow World; we were both students, and it happened that we entered the same Fifth-order Shadow World."
Lanci raised his eyes to look at Abigail as he responded.
That was when he was still in Ichrite Academy, challenging his second Shadow World, and he had passed the relaxed and comfortable campus life while on student council duty with Frey and Hyperion.
At the Sanctuary Evil Banquet, there were twelve Challengers in four teams, besides Lanci Hyperion Frey, one of the teams from the Cerryti Empire was the Goddess of Destruction, Bishop of Destruction's direct soldiers, and the Third Princess Alexia.
Before the Count of the Blood Clan's attack the previous night, Lanci and Alexia exchanged information, and he reignited her hope.
