Anastasia's voice was soft and gentle, carrying a girl's sweetness and the childish innocence of someone waiting for an adult's praise.
This completely opposite attitude from before left Chaldea's group stunned, and they felt a little unaccustomed to it.
"You've already done very well, Anastasia... But you really are delicate. That won't do. Even as the Tsar, you must at least possess the will to become a warrior."
"...It seems you need some strict training."
Roy gently stroked Anastasia's beautiful silver hair, making the dignified female Tsar purr like a cat.
Her soft body leaned against Roy's embrace. The scent of a girl's body and a faint smell of blood lingered in his nose, intoxicating him.
"Godfather, will you personally train me? If it's you, then no matter how strict or violent it is, I can endure it."
Anastasia gazed at Roy with a pair of limpid eyes filled with longing. There seemed to be a strange desire in them as she spoke expectantly.
"No. I'll find you a strict teacher."
Roy shook his head with a smile.
For no apparent reason, Anastasia's delicate body shuddered.

Roy looked toward Chaldea with a warm, benevolent gaze. He showed no hostility, as though every living being in the world were equal in his eyes.
Waver and Kirschtaria nodded solemnly. They had noticed long ago that something was wrong with this Lostbelt.
Ritsuka, however, wore an awkward expression. She hadn't noticed anything
