Third Pov

Cecelia had a glowing mom smile on her face as Hatsu attacked the woman with the dagger, the small weapon flying out of her hands.

"Hatsu!!" Shibisu shouted.

"Who closes their eyes during a fight?" Hatsu growled back, glaring at his happy-go-lucky teammate.

"You came to save me!! I knew you'd come to save me, my friend!! I love you!!" Shibisu cried, trying to kiss Hatsu's cheek in glee.

The Asian male looked grossed out as he pushed his teammate away, his grey-black eyes automatically pinning on the albino woman not too far from him. She had a pleasant smile on her lips, her beautiful blood-red eyes twinkling with delight. The large crocodile seemed to be busy eating something, while her other two teammates were deep in their own thoughts. Hatsu gave her a small smile back, before having to push Shibisu away from his face yet again.

"Get away from me. Where's the other teammate?" Hatsu asked, looking for the missing third participant.

"He's sleeping over there," Shibisu replied, gesturing to the sleeping male on the ground.

"Sleeping?! While his teammates are fighting with their lives on the line?"

Everyone's gaze went to the green-haired male lying on the ground, his blanket wrapped around him like a cocoon. Cecelia rose to her feet as the familiar look of bloodlust and excitement filled her eyes once again, the green-haired male sitting up in his spot to point his palm at Anaak.

"Anaak!! Move!!" Hatsu yelled, finally freeing himself from Shibisu's death grip.

The small ball of Shinsu grew in size, before finally firing a huge attack at Anaak, who was sleeping on the throne. Cecelia licked her lips in anticipation.

"That's Shinsu!! He's a Wave Controller!!"

"Someone that could use Shinsu was hiding among us," Koon muttered, watching the fight play out.

"Her soul looks so tasty... Koon, can we fight on the next round?" Cecelia asked, a crazed look in her eyes.

"Her soul?" Koon muttered, only for Cecelia to turn back to the fight at hand.

Anaak was clearly pissed, as she brought out her weapon- the Green April. She glared at the participants, before trying to kill everyone involved. Cecelia's eager face fell, as an expression of disgust and annoyance filled it instead.

"Cecelia? What's wrong?" Baam asked, noticing the blatant change.

"I'm fine. Baam, could you let me handle the Black March for a little while? It'll be annoying if Anaak notices a guy handling another one of the 13 Month Series, after all... I'll give it back to you once we pass the Game."

"Oh. Um... okay. But Cecelia, please don't give it to anyone... okay?" Baam reluctantly handed Cecelia the agitated weapon, even as he struggled to handle it.

"You know I won't."

The weapon's shaking got even worse as it passed into Cecelia's hands. She paid no mind to it. Meanwhile, Anaak was wreaking havoc as she waved the Green April around, attacking the cocoon guy and any other participant (minus her teammates) that was still awake.

"You said you could attack the throne from anywhere? Then I can kill you all from here!!" She announced fiercely.

The Black Marsh shook violently in Cecelia's hand, the bandages covering the weapon disintegrating. And as much of an effect that the Green April was having on the Black March, there was some reaction from the Green April as well. The second her weapon shook in her hand, Anaak registered the presence of the Black March in the room.

"...The Black March?" She muttered, looking towards Baam's Waiting room.

Cecelia chuckled at Anaak's response.

"My my... I might be getting my meal after all." She muttered, pulling the mask onto her face with an ominous smirk.

Koon moved over to Baam, whispering his questions to the brunette.

"Hey, Baam, what does she mean by "meal"? And this talk about souls, too... is Cecelia not human?" Koon asked, only for Baam to give him an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Koon, but I've promised that I wouldn't tell anyone... not without Cecelia's permission, at least."

"Eh~? So it's something that she doesn't want other people knowing, huh?"

Baam nodded, shielding his face from the blast when Anaak broke into their waiting room. She glared at Cecelia, who was taller than Anaak by a good few inches.

"I don't know why you have the Black March, but it's not something that a commoner like you should have. Give it to me." Anaak ordered arrogantly, holding her hand out for the weapon.

Cecelia gave Anaak a silent, closed-eye smile. Then, with a gush of air, she was holding the young lizard girl up in the air by her throat. Her blood-red eyes glowed with rage, and something akin to insanity.

"Ghk-!"

"A commoner like me, huh? If you knew who I was, Anaak Jahad, than you would be bowing at my feet, trembling and begging for mercy that I don't have. But for today, I'll go easy on you. I'm in a rather good mood, you see." Cecelia said, as Anaak helplessly clawed at the albino girl's grip on her throat.

"Your soul should be good enough to pay for your insolence."

Ugh. To be honest, I didn't really like the Crown Game. It was confusing and weird. But it does provide me with a chance to show my readers the true personality of Cecelia.
