Resolve

After the people from the Clock Tower and the Holy Church stepped out, the last to emerge were the Dead Apostles.

They were still familiar faces—very familiar ones at that. Altrouge Brunestud, Kurohime, the ninth seat among the True Ancestors.

Capable of transforming through three stages, she was currently in her first form. In her underage appearance, she did not look intimidating in the slightest. If anything, she was rather cute.
