>"Of course, my Queen. Thank you for looking past my earlier outburst. I-I became flustered momentarily, when she suggested that my commitment to my duty was lacking and guessed so crudely at my own desires. I promise you, I will faithfully stand guard by your side at Waifus Collide 2 when you do battle with Nicole. I will not allow her to cause any harm beyond what is expected in a wrestling match."Elyssa smiles at the Queen, calm and assured, when the Queen praises her.
>"Your recognition of my service gladdens me, Your Majesty. Thank you. I shall watch your coming battle with great interest and pride."With the situation resolved, Valari and Elyssa both are left to continue doing what they would be doing at this late hour of the night, had the issue of Nikki Kade not arisen. Elyssa leaves, preparing to finish a few late-night studies and retire to bed, but Valari looks to Gemma Stone before departing for the night. She is still troubled by what she has seen, especially in the woman that it is now confirmed her Queen will do battle against at Waifus Collide. If anyone might have knowledge or insight into this situation, Lady Rebecca Emilia would be more likely than most to have it.
>"Lady Emilia, when we're at liberty to talk about this more, I would speak with you. In all your studies, have you ever heard of a person with two spirits in their body? What does this mean? Could this be related to the demonic ties that Nicole thinks she may have?"She lowers her voice in concern.
>"Does this pose any additional threat to Her Majesty, against which I should prepare myself when they meet in the ring?"
