Chapter 1381 Sudden Attack
A young girl was walking through a forest path in the suburbs.
The young girl's stature is tall, moreover, she has a graceful and dignified aura, even if she wears normal clothes, it can't hide the charm and beauty that is carried on this girl.
She possessed a wondrous beauty that scarcely felt real. Her long golden hair was tied in a long braid and her eyes were amethyst-colored eyes, giving a person who stared into those eyes a feeling of pureness.
The name of this young girl was Jeanne.
She was the Saint of Orleans. A Catholic saint was born in Domrémy, France, and was the heroine of France, who liberated Orléans in the Hundred Years' War.
In the s, Jeanne had borrowed Shinobu's body, however, after she entered Shinobu's body, Shinobu's body started to transform into the appearance of Jeanne.
Well, enough of an explanation since in such a girl something weird was happening around.
Even though the young girl was walking alone, she seemed to talk with someone even though no one was standing beside her.
Fortunately, the path that this young girl took was empty since if someone saw her, they would think that this young girl was crazy or they might think that this girl might have a supernatural power that made her capable of talking with a soul or something.
"Still, he has that many girlfriends?"
"Yes."
Jeanne frowned and asked, "Is he deviant?" She had seen a lot of nobles or kings who often used their position to force a young girl to become their plaything after all.
"No, he isn't something who will force any girls to become his. His feelings are real."
Jeanne blushed and asked, "Is that why you have fallen for him?"
"W… Well, let's stop talking about this!"
Shinobu, whose body was being borrowed by Jeanne, was embarrassed when she thought about how she and Haru had met each other.
"And all of those girls also fell for him?"
"Yes." Shinobu let out a sigh and said, "I am not even surprised if there is another girl who has fallen for him at this moment."
"…"
Jeanne was a bit surprised and even though she didn't want to admit it, she was also curious and wanted to meet the guy who had been mentioned by Shinobu, wondering whether he was really that charming.
"But are you alright with that?"
"You mean sharing him with someone else?"
"Yes." Jeanne looked at the distance and said, "I might not have had an experience in love since I have never had a chance to do so in the past, but shouldn't there be one man and one woman in a relationship?"
"Jeanne, sometimes love is that irrational."
"Irrational?"
"Yes. I know that he's really bad, but at the same time, I want to be with him. In truth, after I have arrived at this world, I really want to meet him and I am sure that he's thinking the same."
"Is… Is that so?" Jeanne was blushing when she heard such frank words from Shinobu.
"Honestly, he's a bad guy!…"
Jeanne listened to Shinobu's complaint, but somehow she felt a bit envious since Shinobu didn't seem angry, or rather, she seemed to be very in love with this Kasugano Haruka, even if Shinobu tried to hide it by saying something bad about him. She let out a long sigh and wondered whether she could feel such a feeling.
However, suddenly both Jeanne and Shinobu stopped talking and stopped moving.
In that instant…
"Have you realized?"
A cold voice was heard which caused Jeanne's brow to tightly frown.
"Servant?"
"Precisely."
After such an answer, a single figure materialized in front of Jeanne.
The one who appeared in front of Jeanne was a youth.
He has long, white, unkempt hair that almost appears transparent. His gaze is sharp like a steel blade with the red stone buried in his chest similarly projecting an enthralling lustrousness.
It also specified that what draws the eye more than anything else is the set of golden armor that he has become fused with, giving off a divine radiance.
After Jeanne saw the youth in front of her, she could instantly guess who it was.
"Lancer of Red."
The youth that appeared in front of Jeanne was the Lancer of Red. Even though the youth didn't hold a spear nor lance, Jeanne could tell who it was in an instant.
But not only that…
"You're Karna, right?" Jeanne's expression was serious when she asked that question.
Karna raised his eyebrow and felt slightly surprised.
"It seems the existence of Ruler is very special since you can guess my True Name in an instant."
However, Karna was only half-right since as a Ruler, Jeanne not only could see Karna's True Name, but she could also tell everything about Karna from status, skill, and Noble Phantasm.

The central conflict of The Mahabharata is the war over influence between the Pandava royal family and Kaurava royal family. Karna became famous as the rival of Arjuna, the great hero of Hindu mythology.
The legend of Karna was quite similar to Achilles.
However, Karna was from Hindu Mythology and Achilles was from Greek Mythology.
Both of them were known as famous heroes.
However, even though Achilles was more popular than Karna's, Karna's ability was stronger than Achiless's since Hindu Mythology was stronger than Greek Mythology.
In the legend, there was a lot of myth that was using Hindu Mythology as a basis which caused Karna which affected Karna's status in this world was stronger than Achilles'.
Such a servant suddenly appeared in front of Jeanne, and from his sudden appearance, Jeanne could tell that he came without a good intention.
"Ruler-class servant, because of Master's order, I have come to kill you."
With an indifferent and emotionless tone, Karna then summoned his spear and his body was surrounded by flame then without hesitation, he dashed and struck down Jeanne!
*BOOOOOOOOOM!*
