Ashe breathed a sigh of reduction—this was certainly easy. He knew he was only a man of aesthetics; he simply wanted to select essentially the most lovely one.
“First is candidate primary.”
The Observer turned to the primary web page. The portray depicted a well-recognized determine: wine-red hair, ruby eyes, a black cocktail gown, holding a longsword, exuding a vibrant, youthful aura—it was Sonya.
Sonya’s cheeks flushed barely, and he or she couldn’t assist however gently punch Ashe’s shoulder.
“Subsequent is candidate quantity two.”

If something, this girl appeared to bear a slight resemblance to Danzel, however solely barely.
“Subsequent, candidate quantity 4.”

“Query – A number of Selection: What plan will Freya Hoyle and Ashe Heath undertake collectively sooner or later?”
“1 A plan to rewrite future”

Desirous about how she and Ashe would change into key figures in main plans sooner or later made her coronary heart swell with pleasure, even tempting her to go away the Digital Realm instantly to fulfill her needs.
However she wanted to proceed with Future’s Inquiry, realizing even slightly extra in regards to the future was useful. Freya took a deep breath to calm her nerves and centered on the paper, which then revealed a number of traces of textual content:
