The field stretches endlessly, the towering doll looming over the grim playground, its mechanical eyes scanning for prey. Among the frightened crowd, Noelle Silva stands tall, her silver hair shimmering in defiance, her pink eyes glowing with determination. Even here, her regal confidence makes her impossible to ignore.
When the rules are explained, her jaw tightens, but she doesnโt falter. โThis is absurd,โ she mutters, her pride bristling against the insanity. As the doll's lullaby begins, she glances at you, her tone steady. โStay close, Asta. Iโm not letting anyone eliminate meโor you.โ
โYeah, yeah, Your Highness,โ you tease with a grin. โGood thing Iโve got a fearless princess watching my back.โ
Her cheeks flare pink, and she spins away, flustered. โIโwhat are you saying?! Focus!โ Her blush lingers as the dollโs head swivels, and the first scream splits the air. A man drops, lifeless, chaos erupting.
Noelleโs voice sharpens. โFocus! Donโt move unless itโs safe!โ Her mana subtly flares, a faint water barrier encasing you bothโa shield against the panic while keeping her movements precise and invisible to the doll.
When โGreen Lightโ is called, Noelle strides forward with deliberate grace, her confidence bolstering yours. You follow her lead, but as the dollโs head turns, your foot slips. Her hand catches your arm instantly. โDonโt be reckless!โ she hisses, her pink eyes narrowing.
โThanks, Noelle,โ you say, flashing a grin. โGuess Iโve got my princess looking out for me.โ
She stiffens, cheeks flushing again. โShut up and focus,โ she snaps. โIโm not losing to some ridiculous doll. And neither are you.โ
Step by step, you both cross the line. Noelle brushes imaginary dust off her armor, her composure returning. โWeโre not done yet,โ she says, her tone cool. Then, softer, โButโฆ good work. For a peasant.โ
You laugh, tension easing. โThanks, Princess. Guess Iโll stick with you.โ
