Faust Capricorn
Ruler of Capricorn | dialogue : #E82E55 | thought : #8D757A
As she listened to the King explain the ritual, Faust wasn't sure what he was expecting to come of this. Seated here were thirteen other people who, for the most part, were willing to destroy each other in a war, even if it meant destroying themselves. Faust did feel sympathy for Nadya though, as she essentially bore the most responsibility out of all of them. Which was expected, but Nadya didn't do anything that Faust wouldn't do herself if put in the same position.
She let out an audible groan as soon as the King had announced who their gem's counterparts were, and immediately knew that there would be little chance of them cooperating for something like this. Knowing of Aquarius's "ruler" from her brother's travels and the significant amount of time he spent in the kingdom, she expected nothing less from Dante when he was the first one to speak. Vulgar and seemingly lacking self preservation. Exactly as described.
Of course, Faust's earlier suspicions were confirmed. She only shrugged in response. There was little she could do if Akai was refusing to do the ritual, and instead of protesting Akai's refusal she kept herself quiet and listened to the other rulers speak. Maybe she was just a little bit buzzed, but as she listened to some of the rulers voice their grievances with the ritual or outright refuse to participate in it, there was no foreseeable way that they would ever agree to work together.
Cancer and Gemini were engaged in a heated argument, and ultimately it looked like they would all be fated for destruction since the final part of the ritual required everyone to be a willing participant. Everything was going quite swimmingly all things considered, as no one had tried to attack anyone yet. Although, Cellica looked like she was about ready to do so. Faust didn't blame the girl though, being forced to work with such a traitor was less than desirable.
Many of the questions raised were ones that she had herself. In fact there were numerous questions to be asked; What happens if the ritual is done incorrectly? What if the ritual is never fully completed? What effect would the ritual have on the gem? There was a lot to be considered before the rituals could even be attempted, and she wondered how the King would manage to explain the rituals in a way that would convince everyone to agree to do it.
Faust felt a headache coming on, and all the noise surely wasn't helping. Once there was actually a moment of silence and she could finally begin to hear her own thoughts again, Faust finally spoke. "Well, my hands are tied. I am willing to work with an enemy to save my own kingdom unlike other deranged people, but if Leo won't cooperate then there's nothing I can really do about that."
