"You suddenly appeared and fought with Seraphina."
In the dimly lit room, Ravenna, lying on the bed with her head resting on Ansel's chest, asked with her eyes closed, "Why?"
"To give Faust a reason to notice Fenrir," Ansel gently pinched Ravenna's delicate cheek. "It's only natural for a legendary adventurer to be interested in a prodigious newcomer, isn't it?"
Ansel had concealed Marlina's whereabouts. Marlina, working under Seraphina, certainly couldn't hide herself. Using Marlina as a link to connect Faust and Fenrir...
A mysterious and powerful elite, a meticulous mortal servant, and a fiercely righteous, albeit somewhat foolish, girl.
Such a combination indeed gives a rather nuanced sense of déjà vu. Therefore, Ansel needed a reason for Marlina to appear beside Seraphina.
It was somewhat tenuous but not entirely implausible—as long as Fenrir could display power that matched Faust's "expectations," it wouldn't be too far-fetched.
