Book 4: Chapter 81: The Global Announcement

Earth

All around the world, every single tv screen, promotional billboard, and any other kind of video screen changes from whatever they were previously showing to instead show live footage from within Purples Tower. And standing at the center of the tower is the White Knight of Humanity, causing every human on Earth near a screen to pause in whatever they were doing.

Greetings, citizens of the Republic, as you all know, I am the White Knight of Humanity, Amelia Asger, and I have an important message for you today, White declares, drawing silence from all around the world. Your Princess of Humanity, my daughter, Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron, has been put into a coma and it is uncertain when she will wake up.

The silence draws on for a single second before chaos erupts all around the world. Shouts echoing throughout the streets, people in their rooms falling into a silent stupor from shock, and other people dropping whatever they were holding at the dramatic change that had just underwent the entire Republic at this news.

Then the screen changes to show a recording of the Apex Predators sleeping face as she lies down on a king-sized canopy bed, unmoving except for an occasional shift of discomfort with pain visible on her face. And the sight of this screen immediately silences the shouting in the streets.

Meanwhile the other Knights of Humanity and various notable and important people from the Republic share very different reactions.

The Bloody Valkyrie grimaces, clenching her fists at the sight of the one girl on Earth who she believed to be her equal lying in a coma.

Golden Rider frowns, disliking the idea of a girl only twenty years of age fighting in the war and being the focal point of both sides, not believing someone that young should hold a responsibility so great. That they shouldnt have to. And now feeling like his thoughts were confirmed in that regard.

Jacob R. Ashton, the Chairman of the Republics Government, frowns as he takes in the implications of this, only briefly noting the extravagant surroundings of the bed and the faint signs that the recording was taken not by human technology but by magic. Because he knows that this could either make or break moral amongst the humans. Something he knows White doesnt particularly care about and is only doing this to help Scarlet, even if she knows of the consequences of her actions.

Amelia lets out a sigh of relief after seeing the reactions of the people and ending the livestream. Then she turns to Purple and nods her head, getting a brief nod back before the woman returns to her place of mediation at the center of her tower.

Good thing Purple doesnt seem to mind me unlike the other Knights, even if she doesnt like some of my actions. Otherwise I wouldnt have been able to get her to help me do that.

The White Knight turns around and vanishes before reappearing next to the Gate in the Arctic, where she then gets permission to pass through once more, draining the Gate significantly in the process. Not that Amelia particularly cares.

She soon finds herself back in Scarlets room within the Demon Kings castle the only room shes allowed to be in. And just seconds later, she hears the Demon Kings voice echoing in her head, You will only be allowed to pass through the Gate back and forth once more after this. I will not let you run down the reality energy in the gate to let you fight on Earth. If you wish to stay with Scarlet, do so. But you will not be coming back more than one more time if you leave Tartarus again.

Amelia grimaces at that and nods her head, quickly deciding that shell stay for a week, and if Scarlet doesnt wake up by then, shell leave and return to the war. Then shell come back half a year later to check on her all while getting updates from Leonidas on her condition.

She turns to the head maid standing in the corner of the room and says, The magical camera was appreciated.

The maid nods her head, seemingly deciding not to speak to Amelia or correct her on the correct term for the magical item.

Amelia focuses on her daughter again, finding Allen, Cynthia, Arthur, and Belle still at her side. Meanwhile the girl herself is still shifting with obvious pain and discomfort.

Wake up soon, okay sweetheart?
