Instead of rejoicing at the sight of their supposed saving grace, Ren felt his heartbeat spike in pure anxiety.
Now he understood why, in the original timeline, the NPCs claimed the victory in the end.
It was because of her.
Princess Lorelai's appearance was not a blessing for him. It was a nightmare. As long as she was here, his chances of obtaining the [Monarch Sovereignty] were slim to none.
She was, in every sense, bad news.
The players had learned her true identity only after their ATPs had grown into the hundreds. Before that, she was nothing more than a mysterious golden warrior with insane stats and no name over her head. Once players finally identified her, fan discussions blew up.
For two years straight, she was voted Top Waifu of the game even if they didn't know her name.
Then a literal goddess appeared later in the story and stole first place, pushing her down to number two, not knowing that they were the same person.
Her full name:
Princess Lorelai of Renais.
