"No, never. My clarity is perfect~" Merlyn was sure of herself in a way that was probably shocking to herself. What was more the shaken visuals of Kolin were exactly what Merlyn expected. What was more, the order she gave for the arrest of the new pair was met by two things, the rising of the purple haired Knight and Arthur's protest of knowing the woman very well, and thus the protest of his arrest. Kolin looked onwards. Perhaps, this Arthur was actually a man, if he was, he could be used. Another stepping stone. After all, she could tell the two within the cage were still alive, there was always a reasonable use for a man who knew how to do his job. Granted, a bit more of a cutthroat was usually more useful, perhaps as her own protector and an extra to her plan to amass a following this lad could be useful. "Oh? You barely know her? Fine, arrest just her then. Leave the bounty hunter~" Kolin made an amendment to her order.
Merlyn wasn't concerned about Arthur in the moment. Though he was quite simple, if he was unaffected by her own natural abilities, she had a great deal of faith that between Excalibur and his own body, he likely held a great deal of resistance to the lesser powers of the buxom woman on the throne. "Oh? Still, I assume no one else can see your stats~" said Merlyn as if completely unperturbed by the idea of getting arrested. "So no one knows that you were the fallen goddess Ishtar. Ya' know, Arthur... that evil goddess I mentioned the day we met~" she mentioned with a chuckle. "Or rather the name Mai Valentine probably makes more sense to people who are like us~" mentioned the Sorceress. "It doesn't matter who I am. You can't stop me here... there is nothing any of you can do. I am Queen here. Your little friend is already done with you as well. That borrowed name and look of yours hardly matter now..." mentioned Kolin. A man was an easy target after all, suppressing yet another woman was no real stretch of her imagination. "Ah, you're wrong though... names have power. And he chose right for multiple reasons! Besides, that title of yours is as empty as I assume your little King's head is... I'm sure you know that too. So, why did you bother? Anyone care to take a guess... I mean I can talk all day, but it's more entertaining if someone else takes a stab at flexing their brain a little~" Merlyn stood within the middle of the room as Emilia looked at her. She wondered about who this woman actually was, and the name Mai Valentine was one she'd seen floating about in their other world. An E-girl who made it tough for girls who played regular video games. How the hell had she wound up a villain in this world?
