All eyes gradually turned from Arthur to the ball, which had just fallen from the other team's net.
Arthur loosened his hair tie, then retied it, this time tighter.
Everyone's gaze returned to him as he tied his hair back with a calm, unreadable expression.
The arena was silent, until one voice broke through:
"I love you, Master!!!"
Everyone turned to see a woman cloaked in thick garments, with a scarf and glasses that made her unrecognizable. Still, her pointy elf ears and white hair seemed oddly familiar.
Not that anyone cared, especially not the girls in Arthur's cult.
"Take my life, Master!"
"Arthurrr! My name is Jessica!"
"My name is Lucy! I love you!"
The cheering grew so deafening that no one dared even whisper a boo.
Yet within the court, all eyes remained on Arthur.
'That was my Authority, wasn't it?' Ren thought, his finger trembling. 'Does that even make sense?'
