527, sixty portions of the joy of fate, truly not a loss

Anne Brittany and Sophia Garanord stood atop the city walls, neither of them being of Sacred level, unable to join the battle, but both of their emotions were complex.

Sophia Garanord felt somewhat embarrassed, yet she harbored no regret at the bottom of her heart; instead, there was a light sense of relief.

Anne's emotions were far more complicated. She had even thought of kicking Sophia Garanord off the city walls.

Of course, she would never do such a thing, but the crazy idea just wouldn't go away!

During the great battle outside the city, Anne hadn't let the city's inhabitants join the fight. Because she knew that holding Black Phoenix City was more important to Charles, when Emilia loudly called out "Daddy," Anne really couldn't help but glance at the pretty little butt of Sophia Garanord, but she soon understood that the child couldn't possibly belong to the Strasbourg Rose.

After a while, Anne also figured out that the child couldn't possibly belong to Charles.
