Dimensional Descent

Flaura slowly closed the book in her hand. Her cherry lips shone particularly bright in the dim lights, and her expression was entirely unreadable. Not many knew Flaura intimately, but it could be said that it was quite rare for her to not be smiling, and even rarer for minutes to tick by without her taking a sip of wine.

A miscalculation.

She never told Leonel to lose on purpose, much like she didn't tell him to win or lose against the Ma'at Bubble.

For the challenge against the Ma'at Bubble, who won or lost didn't matter. She had thought that regardless of the situation, the end result would be the same. If she went too far in giving direction, she would just end up exposing her plans, and that was something she didn't want to do.

What she didn't know was that even before she told Leonel to challenge the Khafra Bubble, he had already known that she would.

But that was exactly why the current situation was so perfect. Flaura had no idea that Leonel had already seen through her. All she could tell was that Leonel's improvement speed was far too fast, and that he had more cards up his sleeves than logic would dictate to be possible.

Flaura waved a hand and the images of Aina's combat appeared.

As expected, every use of Dream Force was so crude and unrefined. It seemed that Aina had a large Dream Force affinity, maybe one she had only recently come into contact with. This made sense considering the two were from an Incomplete World, she couldn't find any flaws, at least not without being there to witness it personally. Ultimately, these were just projections, they couldn't grasp the whole picture.

"Some of this is still salvageable. This Aina killed a child in full view of the public, it would only make it easier to demonize them. A few will be able to tell that Little Fox isn't really a toddler, but the vast majority won't think so far."

Flaura organized her thoughts and slotted many other things into place. Even so, she couldn't quite feel satisfied, as though she was missing something.
