"She was the first Herrscher to descend, the origin of all Herrschers. She was also the only Herrscher of the Previous Era to fight for humanity."
"Though she was a Herrscher, she never betrayed us."

"I'm... a Herrscher?"
"And from beginning to end... I was a Herrscher?"
"..."
Alicia was stunned.
Kind as she was, cheerful as she was.
At a time like this! She still couldn't calm down or understand!
Her mind was blank.
Even though she seemed to have sensed it long ago, had expected it long ago.
She felt as if this was exactly who she was!
Yet instinctively, she still resisted it somewhat.
Even!
It wasn't merely resistance.
It was fear...
She suddenly turned around and looked at Dr. Mei, at Mobius, at the other familiar faces, and at her dear Eden.
Everyone looked at her as well, their expressions varied.
"It was an ancient and beautiful fairy tale, a sacred and dreamlike ballad."
"..."
"One day, she fell from the heavens."
"People looked up in wonder, and so... they saw the starry sky."
"..."
It was easy to see.
Unlike the Thousand-Man Herrscher, unlike the Herrscher of Binding.
And even more unlike the Herrscher of Corruption.
Only at this moment...
Little Griseo was incomparably gentle, incomparably tender. It was respect, admiration, longing, and also a wordless affection.
As if no matter how many words were spent, it would all be worth it. Because she was Alicia!
"Star Moon sent the daughter of God."
"She was willing to become the companion of humankind..."
"..."
Everyone's expression shifted slightly.
It was unclear whether they understood or not, whether they had thought of something, or were simply listening.
Little Griseo's words tugged at their thoughts.
In a daze, they seemed to see painting after painting. Like vivid illustrations, they depicted the birth of romance.
That was the adorable Alicia.
The beautiful Alicia.
The wonderful beyond compare Alicia, from childhood to adulthood.
"The long wind became her carriage, and the four seas became her garden."
"Birds brought her the seeds of kindness, while flowers wove a hymn of love."
"..."
"And so she was born into this world, walked upon the earth, grew up alongside humanity, and sprouted together with the world."
"..."
It could be seen.
Alicia was simply Alicia.
Though she was a Herrscher.
She was different from the other Herrschers.
The other Herrschers seemed to carry the will of destruction. Hatred and slaughter remained, while little humanity or reason survived.
But she was the exact opposite.
Her arrival was so dreamlike.
Her life was so childlike...
Little Griseo's words seemed to be filled with magic.
One could even faintly see it!
Alicia's bonds with most of the people present had already begun when she was very, very young.
It was a fateful encounter.
And also, a romantic first meeting...
The Herrscher was clearly synonymous with a terrifying natural disaster.
Yet Alicia alone was not like that!
