Her Name is Alice

Hiya guys! So, I was inspired to write this little oneshot after what happened in COTF: Shadows 14! I promise I’ll try to get to everything else on my plate as soon as I can. This fic focuses mainly on Henry, Millie, and Sally, however there are brief moments of other characters and OC’s! But for now, I hope you enjoy~!

Acylla and Zoisite belong to @faewraithsworld and Josele, Sterling, Dawn, and Dusk belong to @loosesodamarble

Word Count: 2,779

Warnings: Mentions of Pregnancy, Mentions of abandonment.

————

Henry watched quietly as his friends talked with their spouses and played with their children. Captain Yami was playing with his four year old daughter Hikari, Josele, Nacht, Acylla, and Zora were sitting together watching Sterling, Dawn, Dusk, and Zoisite playing together and Grey was holding two year old Aloys as Gauche tried to convince him to eat his breakfast. On the other side of the room Finral was letting Vanessa, who they all recently found out was 2 months pregnant, rest her head on his lap as she napped on the couch.

Gordon and his spouse were currently talking about starting their own family soon as were Charmy and Rill, and Asta and Noelle had just gotten engaged which also meant they would be starting their own families soon…

And he couldn’t help but feel left out.

While his curse was more controlled now due to Charmy’s cooking and a magical device Sally made for him, he still didn’t feel comfortable being around others that weren’t members of his squad. He always worried about meeting someone, falling in love with them, and then his curse suddenly draining all of their mana from them.

He didn’t like hurting people, especially if it was someone he really cared about…

So he made the decision long ago that he would stay single, and watch happily as all his friends fell in love, got married, and had children of their own. But now that he was actually beginning to see that happen he realized:

He wanted it too.

“ Finral…” Henry began slowly as he walked up to his friend.

“ Oh hi Henry, do you need something?” Finral asked softly so as not to wake up Vanessa.

“ Will…you…take…me…to…see…Sally…please?” Henry asked, and he watched Finral blink in surprise.

“ Sally? Why? Is your magic device broken?” Finral asked in concern as he sat up a little straighter, but Henry shook his head.

“ No…I…just…want…to…ask…her…a…question.” Henry said, deciding it was better to keep the real reason to himself for now.

Finral frowned but didn’t ask anything else, he just quietly stood up, put a pillow under Vanessa’s head, and created a portal to Sally’s lab.

———

“ Do you want me to stay with you?” Finral asked as he stood outside Sally’s lab and gave the building a hesitant and nervous look, but Henry shook his head.

“ No…thank…you…I’ll…be…okay.” Henry told him with a warm smile. Finral nodded but still looked at the building unsurely.

“ Alright, just let me know with the communication device when you’re ready to leave, I’ll be at the Hideout.” Finral told him, and he watched Henry nod before walking through the Spatial portal.

Henry turned back towards the door and gave it a small knock, hoping that Sally was there and that she would agree with his idea.

However he blinked in surprise when it wasn’t Sally who opened the door, instead it was Millie Maxwell.

“ Oh, hello Henry.” She said in surprise, and Henry smiled.

“ Hello…is…Sally…here?” Henry asked, and the woman frowned but nodded.

“ She is, but she’s a bit busy right now,” Millie said as she looked over her shoulder. “ May I ask why you want to see Sally?”

“ I…want…to…ask…her…about…something,” Henry began. “ But…I’ll…come…back…later.”

“ Wait a minute!” The two jumped as they suddenly heard an excited shout emit from inside the lab, and then after a few seconds Sally showed up beside Millie.

“ You’re the Black Bull that’s cursed right?! The one I made a magic item for?” Sally asked excitedly, and Henry nodded. “ I thought I recognized your voice! Come in!”

Sally turned back into the lab, and Millie stepped aside to allow Henry to walk inside the room. The three walked over to a small table that was covered in different papers and books and sat down.

“ You said you wanted to ask me something?” Henry nodded again.

“ I…want…you…to…cure…my…curse. Is…that…possible?” Henry asked, and he watched as a look of surprise appeared on both Millie and Sally’s face.

“ You want Sally to cure your curse?” Millie asked with a frown. “ Doesn’t the device we made you essentially do that? And isn’t there a member of the Bulls who makes dishes to help keep your curse from absorbing too much mana?”

“ Yes…but…I…don’t…want…to…rely…on…them,” Henry responded. “ I…want…to…be…able…to…be…with…someone…and…not…worry…that…my…device…will…fail.”

“I…want…to…have…a…family…like…my…friends,” Henry continued. “ But…to…do…that…I…need…my…curse…to…be…cured.”

“ So…can…you…help…me…please?” Henry asked, and he watched as Millie and Sally looked at each other for a moment.

“ Well-,” Millie began but Sally cut her off.

“ It’ll be difficult, but I would love to try it!” Sally said excitedly. “ I’ve been a little bored lately with my research, so this challenge is exactly what I needed!”

“ Sally-.” Millie sighed, but the woman ignored her and instead ran over to one of the other nearby tables and grabbed a bunch of tubes and other medical equipment.

“ I’ll need a few samples from you first and then I can get started!” Sally exclaimed excitedly, and as Henry began rolling up his shirt sleeves Millie cleared her throat loudly.

“ You’ll only take what samples you need, nothing more and nothing less. Understand?” She asked, and Sally sighed but reluctantly nodded in agreement.

After Sally and Millie took the samples Henry thanked them and left with Finral to go back to the Hideout.

“ Was Sally able to answer your question?” Finral asked as he and Henry walked back through the Spatial portal.

“ Yes…She…was. I…think…it…will…work…out!” Henry said brightly, and Finral smiled.

“ That’s a relief. So, are you going to tell everyone what you asked Sally for help with?” He asked curiously, and Henry nodded.

“ Tonight…at…dinner…when…everyone’s…together!” Henry said happily.

Later that night, Henry did as he said he would and told everyone why he had gone to see Sally. At first, everyone was a bit worried, but when they saw the bright look he had on his face at the thought of having his own family…all of the Bulls worries disappeared.

They gave Henry their full support, and told him they would help him in whatever way they could!

And then days began to pass with no news. Henry would go to the Science department once a week to see how everything was going and to give Sally more samples, but whenever he asked about the cure she and Millie would shake their heads.

“ Nothing yet, so far it’s all ended in failure,” Sally said with a pout. “ I think I’ll have to change tactics.”

“ Change…tactics?” Henry asked, and Sally nodded.

“ I’m going to combine your DNA with an old subject of mine from when I was a part of The Eye of the Midnight Sun,” Sally said with a grin. “ Who knows? Maybe it’s just what we need to cure your curse!”

But instead of curing it, something else began to happen.

About 2 months after Sally combined Henry and Subject 0906’s DNA, she went to go check on the test tube that she had placed it in, she blinked.

“ That’s odd. What’s going on?” Sally muttered as she stared into the tube, and Millie frowned.

“ Did the test fail again?” She shook her head.

“ No. I think…it’s working. But not in the way it’s supposed to.” Sally muttered with narrowed eyes, and she heard her colleague sigh before walking over.

“ What do you mean?” She asked as she also began to peer into the tube, and then a shocked gasp escaped her. “ Sally, do you know what this is?”

“ Uh, not really?” Millie sighed again.

“ I’ll explain on the way to the Black Bulls Hideout, but I think you’ve accidentally created something magnificent!” She exclaimed as she dragged the other scientist out of the room.

———

“ What…did you say?” Henry asked, his normally slow voice suddenly picking up speed as he and the other Black Bulls stared at Millie and Sally in surprise.

“ I said that Sally’s experiment worked, although not like it was supposed to,” Millie said as she rubbed the back of her neck. “ Instead of curing your curse like it was supposed to, it began to create a new lifeform!”

“ I’m a god! I’m a god!” Sally cheered excitedly from beside her.

“ How did that happen?” Yami asked, and Millie shrugged.

“ We aren’t sure either,” She admitted. “ It hasn’t happened before, so I think there’s something with Subject 0906’s DNA. Maybe there was something in her magic or genes that allowed this to happen.”

“ So… instead of curing my curse…I’m going to have a child?” Henry asked softly, his voice almost sounding like he was in disbelief.

“ Yep! It seems that way!” Sally said cheerfully, more happy at the thought that she had ‘become a god’ then about Henry possibly becoming a parent.

Henry slowly stood up, his mind blank. He…was going to be a father? He had hoped his curse would be cured before he had a child…

“ Will the baby be affected by my curse?” He asked hesitantly. It was a question he really didn’t want to ask, but he needed to know.

“ Since the child will have 0906’s DNA, which seems to be immune to your curse, along with your DNA that actually has the curse…there’s a very good and high chance that they could be immune.” Millie responded, but Sally hummed from beside her.

“ But there’s also a good chance that the baby could inherit your curse too-.” Sally began but Millie quickly quieted her as she saw a sad look suddenly cross Henry’s face.

“ But we won’t know for sure until the baby is, er, ‘born’. So for now, just focus on the positive side. You’ll get what you wanted; a family.” Millie told him with a warm smile, and he slowly nodded.

She was right, he could worry about the other things when it was time, but for now he was going to have a baby. A baby!

“ I’m…going…to…be…a…dad!” He suddenly exclaimed, his voice slowing back down and his face turning bright with happiness.

The Bulls looked at each other hesitantly for a moment, but as soon as Asta happily congratulated him, the others did as well.

Henry was so excited that he immediately added another bedroom to the ever growing Hideout that very same evening!

———

After Henry found out he was going to be a father, he would go to the Science department and visit his child three times a week, sometimes more!

During the months that he waited for his child to be “born” the Black Bulls expanded even more. Finral and Vanessa’s son Ezio was born, Gordon and his spouse announced that they were expecting, and Charmy and Rill announced that they had finally decided to try to have a child as well!

Henry couldn’t remember the last time he had seen the Hideout full of so much happiness and excitement!

Then one night, Henry suddenly received a call on the communication device, and it was from Millie.

“ I think it’s time Henry,” Millie began as he could hear Sally panicking in the background. “ You might want to hurry over here.”

Henry had quickly nodded and went to wake up Finral, who was grumpy at first about being woken up in the middle of the night, but after his friend explained he gladly got up and transported him to the Science department.

He quickly rushed into Sally’s lab, and the two scientists inside looked at him.

“ You’re just in time,” Millie said with a small smile. “ The fluid in the tube is almost completely drained. Sally, go get some warm water, a blanket, and a few towels, we’ll need them.” Sally quickly nodded and rushed away, and Henry rushed forward.

“ Nervous?” Millie asked, and Henry nodded.

“ I’m…very…nervous,” He admitted softly. “ But…everything…will…be…okay…won’t…it?” Millie nodded.

“ Yes, I’m sure everything will be okay, you have nothing to worry about.” She told him honestly as she patted his shoulder comfortingly.

Henry nodded. For the past few months his friends had been telling him the same thing whenever he expressed doubts about everything, and he always believed them. So maybe he should believe her too…

Soon, Sally returned with the requested items and all the liquid in the test tube drained, and as soon as Millie opened the door a loud cry echoed through the room.

Millie quietly picked the baby up and cleaned them off, before turning to Henry with a gentle smile.

“ Congratulations! It’s a healthy baby girl!”

A girl…he, he had a daughter?

Henry watched as Millie walked over to him, and without thinking he took a quick step back, making everyone blink in surprise. Including himself.

“ Henry, we’ll be back soon, alright? Just sit here and wait for us.” His mothers voice suddenly echoed in his mind, making his heart stop dead in his chest.

“ When…will…you…be…back?” He had asked, his parents shared a hesitant look.

“ Maybe tomorrow, or in a few days, we’re not sure,” His father had told him as he cleared his throat, and Henry nodded slowly. “ Just do as your mother said and wait here for us.”

“ Okay. Can…I…have…a…hug…before…you…go?” He asked, hoping his parents would grant him this wish.

But instead, he was scolded. Just like he always was.

“ Henry, you know we can’t do that! If we get any closer than this you’ll take too much of our mana!” His father scolded harshly, and his mother nodded in agreement.

“ He’s right. If we get any closer you’ll hurt us, and you don’t want to hurt us, right?” She asked, his voice soft and delicate, as though she were trying to portray herself as innocent.

Henry nodded and smiled at them, trying to hide the hurt he was feeling.

“ You’re…right. I’m…sorry.” He apologized softly, but his parents only nodded before they turned and walked out the door.

He waited…and waited…and waited. But his parents never returned.

“ Henry, would you like to hold her?” A voice suddenly asked, pulling Henry out of his memories.

He suddenly looked up and saw Sally and Millie staring at him with looks that were full of concern. As his senses began to return to him he could hear his daughter wailing and squirming in Millie’s arm.

His daughter…

“ I…don’t…want…to…hurt…her.” He admitted softly, his yellow eyes staring at his daughter as she continued to cry.

“ You’re not going to hurt her. You’re wearing your device right? So it’ll be okay.” Millie said as she walked up to him, and Sally nodded in agreement.

“ She’s right! If your curse was activated right now we would have already felt it, even your kid would have!” Sally agreed, and he slowly nodded.

Even though he had his magical device on him, and he didn’t feel his body siphoning mana from Millie or Sally, he still felt unsure…

“ Here, you know how to hold a baby don’t you?” Millie asked before quickly putting the crying baby into his arms, making Henry panic slightly as he scrambled to hold the newborn.

Admittedly, he had only held his friends' babies a few times, so he was far from an expert. But as soon as she put his daughter into his arms, it was like he knew what to do and how to hold her.

He could feel his heart beating anxiously in his chest and his mind began searching for a solution as to how to get her to stop crying and to not be afraid.

“ Hello…there…I’m…your…papa,” He began gently. “ I’m…sorry…if…I…scared…you.”

“ I’m…sure…this…is…all…very…scary. But…I…promise…it…won’t…be…scary…forever. I’ll…do…my…best…to…make…sure…you…are…always…happy…and…that…the…world…is…always…bright…for…you.”

“ I’ll…hug…you…everyday…,…I’ll…tell…you…that…I…love…you…everyday, and I…will…never…abandon…you.” He promised softly, a warm smile appearing on his face as he used a finger to gently remove tears from her eyes.

As soon as he had begun to speak, the baby instantly stopped crying and squirming. Instead, she just stared up at him. Her yellow eyes looked at him with wonder and curiosity, all the fear she had a moment ago seemed to quickly dissipate.

When Henry went to pull his finger away his daughter quickly reached out and grasped it with one of her much smaller hands. She didn’t pull it towards her, she didn’t shake it, she just held it, and she held it tightly.

It was like she didn’t want him to go.

Henry pulled the bundle close to his chest and hugged her tightly, but not too tightly. He didn’t want to accidentally hurt her.

“ Do you have a name for her yet?” Millie asked curiously as she and Sally watched the father and daughter. Henry looked up at her and nodded firmly.

He had this name picked out for a while, it was his favorite character in a book he read after his parents had abandoned him. He so admired her for her ability to go to a new and fantastical world, and was envious of how she was able to make friends even though she was different.

By giving his daughter this name, he hoped she would be able to do the same.

“ Alice…her…name…is…Alice.”

Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you all have a good day~!

Julius knew he wasn’t fooling any of the prisoners when he told them he was put in charge of them. Perhaps he should have thought through that part of his plan more, but he was too worried about the first part to really focus on the second. He hadn’t actually expected Jack to agree to let him take over, but then again maybe he should have figured Jack would always take the opportunity to go on any sort of mission that involved fighting unbelievably strong beings, even if it meant neglecting the other parts of his job. But either way, it would’ve been pointless if the prisoners saw through him and he was forced to find someone else to supervise them anyways.

Valtos folded his arms, the chains on his wrists making a soft clinking noise as he did so. “You can’t possibly be a magic knight. You’re too young to even have a grimoire.”

“So I look a bit young for my age.” Julius shrugged. “I assure you, I do have one.”

“Really? Where is it?” Sally tilted her head curiously at him.

Julius froze, thinking of how to respond. He very well couldn’t show these people anything that might give away his identity, but he also had to say or do something, anything that might convince them that he was supposed to be there. “Ah...well, I would show you, but I’m a bit embarrassed to. You see, it’s kinda only one page.”

The third prisoner, Rades, who was at first barely even paying attention to what was going on, suddenly shot up his eyebrow. He turned around to face Julius, trying desperately to suppress the grin on his face and hide the relief of knowing there was someone out there with a grimoire just like his. “Wow, I guess that would be really embarrassing. So you can’t really blame him for not showing his grimoire to us, right?” Julius mentally cheered. He wasn’t even lying when he told them that excuse, and it worked!

Valtos rolled his eyes at Rades before turning back to Julius. “Fine. I don’t know why someone like you would be sent to supervise us, but it’s not my place to question it.”

“Yeah, it’s totally fine as long as you guys do your work and don’t cause trouble!” Julius did his best to give a convincing innocent smile, which was thankfully something he became considerably better at since he got his new form, at least to strangers and acquaintances. However, he couldn’t quite tell if that was the case with the group in front of him right then.

They did not need prompting to clean up the rubble, not even Rades, though he still endlessly grumbled while he did so. Julius watched with great interest as he saw how the three of them worked together, with Sally gathering the harder to reach broken pieces with her Gel Magic, and Rades carrying the endless parts with his Wraith Magic, putting all of them into Valtos’ pitch black portals, who then had even the biggest remains disappear in the blink of an eye.

They managed to work for a good while before Julius ended up interrupting them. He promised himself that all he was going to do was observe, but he couldn’t help himself. He had to take a closer look, to have the countless questions in his mind answered. Gel Magic had so many interesting properties, Spatial Magic was so practical yet so rare, and Wraith Magic was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

“So how do all of your magics work?” Julius stepped between the three of them, his lavender eyes sparkling with curiosity. Sally immediately turned around to respond, and Rades, looking for any chance to stop working, followed suit. Valtos gave a low grunt of annoyance but turned around as well.

“My Gel Magic can carry lots of different things inside of it!” Sally explained. “It’s perfect for collecting samples! Or taking people around too!”

Being with these people and seeing how...casual they all acted made him nearly forget why there were stuck cleaning the capital in the first place, until the memory of Asta, the strong, brave magic knight, trapped by the girl in front of him entered his mind. “Ah, I see,” was all Julius could say. He knew that even if they still wanted to, they wouldn’t be able to create that sort of turmoil to the people of the kingdom again, but their past crimes were still always going to be in the back of his mind when he was with them.

He cleared his throat. Still, that wasn’t going to stop him from wanting to learn more about their powers. “How about you?” he asked Valtos. He was interested to find out just how similar or different his magic might be to his advisor Cob’s.

Valtos shrugged. “My magic’s simple. I open portals and teleport people and objects. I also have a couple of attack spells and a transformation spell. That’s all there is to it, really.”

“Can I see it more closely?”

Valtos opened a black portal beneath a pile of bricks and Julius leaned up to it to look closer as they disappeared.

“I’ve never seen portals like yours, where they open horizontally and whatever’s on it sinks to the other location,” Julius commented. But it made sense, he realized, given how exactly this man had utilized his magic against the magic knights before. Ignoring the tension in his chest again, he added, “There’s another spatial mage I know, whose spells could never work the way yours does, because of the form his portals take. Unless...he could make a trapdoor portal! Ooh...I’m gonna ask him about that.”

“Rades, your turn!” Sally said. “Show him your magic!”

“No!” Rades folded his arms.

“What?” Julius asked.

“I said no! Don’t even tell him what affinity mine is!” Julius knew better than to tell him he was already aware of what it was.

“Oh, come on, Rades!” Sally said. “You’re no fun!”

“What’s the problem?” Valtos asked. “Even I went and showed my magic.”

“Yeah!” Julius nodded. “Don’t worry. It’s just a fun thing to do as a little break from all the work. You won’t get in trouble; I’m the one distracting you guys.”

“How many times do I have to say it?!” Rades pointed at Julius, glaring with his uncovered eye. “I’m sick of countless people like you hearing about my magic and sighing about how it was always inevitable that I ended up here! You know, maybe, just maybe, my magic had absolutely nothing to do with it!”

Julius repeated, “What?”

“Yeah! Maybe it had to do with you guys seeing the nonexistent worst in me before I ever even did anything, and banishing me, ostracizing me, leaving me alone with no one, absolutely no one, except for one person, one person, who used me for his own crimes and goals and threw me away, so now I’m stuck here! You guys are the ones that made it inevitable for me! You just blamed my magic while you did it!”

Julius glanced at Sally and Valtos, but from the looks on their faces, they seemed just as surprised as he was by the outburst. “You don’t have to talk about or show me it. It’s fine.”

“Good,” was all Rades grumbled.

Julius watched as Rades continued to work, recalling what little he knew about Rades’ past. He used to be a Purple Orca before he got exiled from the squad and kingdom. The same squad as Zara. He wondered how much Rades’ status as a commoner might’ve had to do with his banishment, in addition to his magic affinity. As violent and bitter Rades had become, that did not change the fact that he was yet another person the Clover Kingdom forsook for no good reason at first. Another person Julius wasn’t able to help, at first.

The three prisoners kept working for the rest of the day, and before Julius knew it, the area was completely cleared. “Great job, guys! You’ve earned another break!”

“Finally!” Rades did not waste a moment. He immediately made his away over to one corner of the street, sitting on the sidewalk and humming to himself. Valtos went the opposite direction, staring at the sun as it sank behind a cluster of buildings.

“Hey!” Julius didn’t fail to notice Sally right behind him but did not keep her from approaching him. “I figured out why you were so acting so secretive earlier when you told us you were watching us today!”

“Did you now?” Julius looked around, but unfortunately they did too good of a job cleaning the place for him to find anything he could use. There’s that spell I just started working on, but it’s not anywhere near ready for me to cast yet...

“Yeah! Your hair color, your eyes! You’re his spitting image!” Sally grinned, triumphant over her discovery. “It makes sense that anyone related to the wizard king would want to hide their identity from us, after what almost happened to him a couple months ago.”

“Huh?” Julius asked.

“You know, I’ve met him before! He’s cool!” As if just noticing the look on his face, Sally only then said, “Don’t worry! I won’t tell anyone!”

“Glad to hear it.” Julius smiled back. “Because if you do...”

“Ah, there’s no need for threats. I promise I won’t even tell Rades or Valtos,” she assured him.

Julius sighed. “All right.”

“Can I ask you a question though?”

“...What is it?”

“Why did you agree to watch us? I know Valtos said that Patri, our old leader, had nearly killed the wizard king. I mean, I don’t think I would mind too much if I had to spend time with someone who hurt me before, but that’s just me. Do you really not mind we’re from the group that attacked your relative?”

Julius blinked at her. “I...Well, it’s not that I don’t mind. I will admit, it’s hard to be around you guys knowing what you’ve done. But now, everyone needs to work together to help the kingdom recover. As for the reason I’m here in the first place, well, I was just curious. How was this kind of sentence working out for you? I’ve decided it’s fitting; the least you three can do is clean up the mess you’ve helped make.”

“Hm,” Sally thought about his response for a moment. “Well, Rades doesn’t seem to like it, but I think Valtos does, for the same reason you gave. I don’t have a strong opinion about it. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for me to research though.”

“Well, it’s not about how you feel about it,” Julius pointed out.

Sally shrugged. “I was asking about why you’re here because,” she looked down at the ground, “I’ve never really considered that type of thing before. There’s someone who made me a promise, but he hasn’t lived up to that promise yet, even though it’s been months. I’m starting to wonder...did he go back on it because he doesn’t want to be around me?”

“Who made you the promise?” Julius asked.

“A Black Bull. Asta’s his name.” Sally fiddled her hands around glumly. “He promised he’d let me experiment on him, as long as I didn’t hurt him and I helped other people. But that’s what I’ve been doing this whole time here, right? Helping! And if he wants to he could totally use whatever I make out of my research too! So why hasn’t he visited and lived up to his promise yet? Is it because he can’t stand to be around me, after what I’ve done?”

Julius looked at the young prisoner. She had a desperation in her eyes that Julius knew all too well: the desperation to learn. And he had a feeling that Asta was not one to break promises, unless he had a really good reason to. “Well, the Black Bulls have been dealing with a lot lately. He might’ve just not had the chance to fulfill his promise yet. I’ll tell you what. How about I try and see for myself what Asta wants, and if he is still up for it, I’ll set up a date for you two.”

“Really?” Sally’s eyes shimmered, and she shook her hands around, causing her handcuffs to rattle as she was barely able to contain her relief and excitement. “Thank you!”

“No, of course.” Julius nodded at her. “This will be really useful for the kingdom as well.”

He couldn’t help but get his hopes up that such a thing would get to happen. He knew all about the research Sally conducted while in the Eye of the Midnight Sun, everything from her magic items to the bodies she grew for the leaders. It was all morbid and fascinating.

Perhaps with a few...ethical limitations, she can be of great use to the Clover Kingdom. An asset beyond what Julius could possibly imagine at the moment.

He glanced back at Valtos and Rades in the distance. And not just her. Those other two have skills as well that would do numbers for the kingdom. I should try and see if I can set them up with anything else too. But if not now, if anything ever comes up later, I’m sure they can help out a bit too then at least.

Soon, the three prisoners had to go, and so Julius said his goodbyes. Valtos cleared his throat before saying, “I apologize for my initial doubts towards you. I was just worried about what kind of trouble a false guard could bring if anything were to happen. But you’ve more than proven that you are a good, legitimate magic knight and guard, if a little...distractible. So, whatever it’s worth, you have my respect.”

Ignoring the tiniest hint of guilt over all his white lies after what Valtos just said, Julius simply nodded at him. “Thank you.”

“Yeah, I guess it was fun. Better than dealing with Jack, at least,” Rades conceded. Julius nodded at him as well.

“So you’ll really go and see if Asta will still keep his promise for me?” Sally asked.

“Yes,” Julius confirmed.

“Thank you!” she said again, and then shook his hand profusely with both her own.

He took a step back once she was done. “Yeah. No problem. This’ll be really good, if Asta does keep his promise.” He looked up at her. “You’re going to do great things for the Clover Kingdom now, I’m sure.”
