Meanwhile, in the distant palace of Camelot, the Queen, seated on her jade throne, suddenly opened her eyes.
An icy shade emerged within.
...
"Is that the sound of the Pilgrimage Bell?"
In the bell tower at the top floor of the cathedral, Reiger gazed at the golden bell that kept sounding, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Sounds quite pleasant."
To him, the ringing of the Pilgrimage Bell was only of this much significance.
On the other hand, as soon as the Pilgrimage Bell rang, Altoria underwent a dramatic transformation.
"Buzz!"
A starkly intense light radiated from Altoria, along with a wave of astonishing heat that caused the temperature inside the entire bell tower to climb rapidly.
"What's going on!?"
Altoria opened her eyes and saw the changes happening to her body, which startled her.
"Don't panic."
Reiger, treating the radiance and heat emanating from her body as nothing, stepped right up to Altoria, placed a hand on the girl's shoulders, and calmed her down.
