Looking at the mask, the woman paused and frowned at the sight of it, taking it up and shaking her head. "No. Its a forgery." The words from her lips made the king blink too, but in the disguise of 'Michael' he knew to keep quiet. He had kept her in the carriage through the fight, but still.<br/><br/>"This mask is made to look like one of Shadow Knights masks, but see the edge? Its frail and easy to break. Also, there's no magical aura. Shadow Knights masks are all enchanted partially. They break easily if their wearer dies or if their face is attacked, but otherwise they tend to offer a little protection as well as one more thing. Those who wear the real masks can always receive the words of their leader on a moment's notice. There's no inscriptions of magic in this mask." She gestured to the inside.<br/><br/>"Authentic masks, and you can check this if you want, carry small insignia within them. What the leader says to a mask is heard by all the Shadow Knights in the distance." Her tone was wary. "And I'm not saying anything that you would not learn from a thorough work on the masks."
