	There wasn't a single doubt as the two girls looked almost exactly alike. They had the same build, the same size, and ''almost'' the same height. Every proportion of their bodies appeared the same, from their modest chests, to their thin shoulders, to the curvature of a narrow waist that matched when Kaede wore a corset. Even their small noses, soft cheeks, and porcelain-pale skin seemed identical.		There wasn't a single doubt as the two girls looked almost exactly alike.

	''They're even destroying the apple orchards,'' Kaede frowned as she thought back to the maps of the area. It really reminded her just how devastating wars are to the people's livelihood. Years of work by local farmers were destroyed before the enemy had even arrived, all to prepare the battlefield and ensure there was no cover left for the invaders to use.

	Yet, despite the busy activity, it was also clear that the fortification work was behind schedule. The transmuted-stone redoubts ~~were~~ still ~~only half-built~~, while the palisades and earthworks that would surround and turn them into strongpoints were ~~barely~~ started. Too many ~~of the~~ men were loitering about, more interested in chatting than moving their shovels. Sometimes their officers would come over and order them back to work, but other times even the unit commanders didn't seem to care.

	Cecylia viewed through the eyes of her smallest kitten and noticed that her mark was fiddling with some contraption just behind the waist. The space surrounding it was pitch black, as though even the dim moonlight was being absorbed. Furthermore, the field was now expanding.

	It was possible one of her cats spooked the target, who was preparing to escape even as she watched. Calling for security was no longer an option. However Cecylia knew that own close combat skills were lacking. The element of surprise was all she could rely on.

	''Telekinetic Surge.'' Cecylia's magic imbued a spring-loaded wrist-blade while her fingers detached the lock that kept the sharpened steel attached. Her one chance relied on the target not having anti-projectile ''Repulsion'' ward, which radiated a defensive aura and were hard to conceal.		''Telekinetic Surge.''

	The Saint and Oriflamme stepped across the open ground as though gliding through tranquil air. Her wavy blond hair grazed just past narrow shoulders as it billowed in the gentle breeze. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a benign, Mona Lisa smile that permeated the air with serenity. But the most prominent feature of all was her tender gaze, promising truth and eternity through irises of lapiz and violet.

But the most prominent feature of all was her tender gaze, promising truth and eternity through irises of lapiz and violet.

	At a height of one-seventy-one centimeters (5'7"), Lady Estelle's lithe figure stood proud but not imposing. She wore a half-veil draped behind the ears, bearing the white cross on black background of the Hospitallers. Meanwhile her ornate battledress contrasted the silken white over her ample chest to black-bordered ~~midnight-blue~~ fabrics. It extended past her narrow waist belt and down a wide skirt to just above plated knees. The rest of her body remain unarmored, though bands of soft leather embraced her waist, chest, arms, and shoulders, ready to strap on protective steel.

She wore a half-veil draped behind the ears, bearing the white cross on black background of the Hospitallers. Meanwhile her ornate battledress contrasted the silken white over her ample chest to black-bordered cyan fabrics. It extended past her narrow waist belt and down a wide skirt to just above plated knees. The rest of her body remain unarmored, though bands of soft leather embraced her waist, chest, arms, and shoulders, ready to strap on protective steel.

	The design held strong similarities to the Princess' own wardrobe, and Kaede puzzled as such rich garments should hardly be affordable for a nun who took knightly vows. It wasn't until later that Kaede discovered the battledress was another gift from Emperor Geoffroi.

	Kaede had no doubt about it: Vivienne was the model that Pascal envisioned when he summoned Kaede into her new body. It even explained some of the odder-than-usual looks she received when several of Sylviane's armigers first met her.

	But whereas Kaede had creamy-white hair and rose-quartz eyes, Vivienne had a ~~ruby~~ gaze beneath the long, silver-white hair that reached past her hips. Whereas Kaede wore a black-on-white pseudo-uniform reminiscent of Weichsel forces, Vivienne sat in a frilly, tiered-skirt dress in ivory, cyan, and pink; her shoulders bared beneath thin straps had it not been for her rabbit-fur cloak.

	Perhaps most of all, whereas Kaede absorbed the world around her through wide open lenses, Vivienne's gaze remained only two-thirds open -- her lowered eyelids combined with a wily, knowing smile gave the impression that she was always planning something.
