A tall sleeping beauty with loose red hair and a golden crown sat leaning back on a bench.
Her eyes were closed, her breathing steady, and she was deep in slumber. Her face bore some resemblance to the giant Doll in Lakeside Town, but was more exquisite and more real-because this was her true body.
The player approached.
An option naturally appeared on the screen: [Wake her].
The player pressed confirm.
The red-haired Demigod slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still hazy from waking.
Ranni: "Who are you? Hmm..."
Ranni put on a pointless disguise: "A pleasure to meet you. I am the witch Renna... mistress of this magic tower and court sorceress of Caria."
She raised her chin slightly, assuming an aloof air. "Stranger, why have you disturbed my peace?"
The player selected [Rykard told me everything].
Ranni's expression instantly froze, with a sense of embarrassment turning to anger at having her secret exposed. Her brows knitted, the corner of her mouth twitched, and her chest rose and fell once.
Following the anger in her heart, she fiercely berated her useless elder brother: "That useless fool! He couldn't even handle something so simple."
With her disguise exposed, Ranni simply dropped the act. "Sigh... we meet again, my knight. As you can see, this is my true body-the real Demigod Ranni."
She sighed, her tone softening a little.
"For various reasons, I have always acted through a doll's body... but now, my plan is nearing its conclusion... ah, probably."
She glanced at the player, her eyes holding a trace of displeasure, along with a hint of inscrutable scrutiny.
Ranni: "Enough. Now you know the truth. You are truly an impudent knight. Prying into your liege's affairs is not your place. Hmm... who knows where Blaidd has run off to play.
