To say Artoria was surprised would be an understatement.
Karna and Atalanta teaming up was one thing—Karna was dutiful, and Atalanta cared more about achieving victory than personal glory. But Achilles?
Achilles, the combat-obsessed warrior who’d even disobey his Master if it interfered with his pursuit of battle, was now willing to fight alongside others?

Artoria furrowed her brows as she made another attempt to speak.
