Theo narrowed his eyes.
'Who is that?'
The girl hadn't moved since he'd spotted her.
She simply stood there in silence.
Everyone around her kept their distance, practically tiptoeing past.
As her golden-white robes fluttered faintly in the breeze flowing through the arena entrance, Theo finally got a better look at the crosses adorning them.
'Huh?'
They looked pretty familiar.
His eyes slowly widened.
'Isn't that… from the Imperial Church of Seven Virtues?'
Theo's footsteps slowed slightly.
If it hadn't been for the conversation earlier, he probably wouldn't have thought about it.
But those crosses… he'd seen them many times before on television.
'She is the rank one then, I guess?' he thought, tilting his head. 'But why is she here?'
As if sensing his gaze, the girl slowly turned around.
The moment she did, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become even quieter.
Theo finally caught a slight glimpse of her face beneath the hood and veil.
