Nicole

Arthur didn't wait for a long time before portals flashed and three people appeared out of them at first. Doaf, Amera, and Nicole stood around him while he had to stop flying for now.

He knew such things would need his attention before returning to fly again.

"You want me to lead half of my forces out?" the first one to speak was the agitated Nicole, "who gave you the permission to order me like this? Huh?"

She seemed angry, not quite overcoming what her lover did to her from before. Arthur could only sympathise silently with her but he couldn't show that on his face.

Instead he calmly stood there while watching her angry face.

"You are under my protection," Arthur slowly said, "but that doesn't mean you and your forces don't work for me."

"Who said that?" she still was persistent in defying him as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
