The moment the battle against The Gardener was over, the Alliance between Louis and Soma was broken. The prince did not hesitate to point his lance at his throat.
"Hm? Haha… surely you jest," Soma laughed, showing no trace of worry despite Louis pointing his Soul Weapon at him. "Aren't we friends, Prince Louis?"
"Friends?!" Louis clenched his teeth. "I would never be friends with a monster like you… Because of you, my mother…!"
Louis recalled his third regression—when the entire Kingdom had been decimated by the Abyssal Mother's arrival. His own mother had died in that moment, along with everyone and everything else.
This deep-seated resentment refused to fade, even though this Soma had yet to commit any crime in the present timeline.
Yet the prince could not help but direct his hatred from previous timelines toward the man standing before him now.
However.
"Prince Louis… Wait!"
Mirai stopped him.
