In “Fake Girl 772,” the story unfolds around Ray, a determined king who feels the weight of his responsibilities and the need to assert his authority. He expresses frustration towards Maisie, who has become arrogant due to her brother’s reputation, leading her to harm Nova. Ray’s resolve to take action against Maisie highlights his protective instincts for Nova, whom he views as a gentle spirit, contrasting sharply with the jealousy of others. This emotional conflict reveals Ray’s struggle between duty and personal feelings, as he grapples with the implications of his decisions on his kingdom.
Gale, Ray’s mother, tries to reason with him, cautioning him about the potential consequences of raising taxes in an already impoverished land.

Gale’s anxiety for her son’s choices adds depth to the narrative, illustrating the precarious nature of power and governance.
When Ray commands Nova to be brought to him, it becomes evident that he is not only interested in her wellbeing but is also fixated on her resemblance to Athena, a woman he admires deeply. The arrival of Nova, who bears an uncanny likeness to Athena, stirs a mix of emotions in Gale, who realizes that Ray is attempting to recreate Athena through Nova. This revelation evokes a sense of dread and sorrow for Gale, as she recognizes that Ray’s intentions may not be entirely pure, but rather a quest to mold Nova into a living replica of his ideal.
As Nova enters the grand hall, her nervousness and fear are palpable, yet she reflects Athena’s demeanor due to Ray’s influence. Gale’s observations of Nova’s behavior and expressions lead her to understand the extent of Ray’s manipulations. The emotional weight of the situation intensifies as Gale grapples with the implications of Ray’s actions and the role Nova is expected to play.

Ray’s demeanor remained unwavering, his voice resonating with authority. “I am the King, and it is my prerogative to have the final say in this realm! My mother claims I am ruthless, but if a sovereign cannot command respect from his courtiers, they will surely trample over me in the days to come p>
He paused, his gaze hardening as he continued, “Maisie, relying too heavily on her brother’s reputation as a great general, has grown insufferably arrogant. I warned her long ago, yet she failed to temper her pride. Now that she has crossed a line and harmed Nova, I find myself with no choice but to take decisive action against her p>
Gale, sensing the resoluteness in Ray’s tone, ceased her attempts to sway him.
With a soft sigh, she inquired, “And what do you intend to do about Nova p>
“Naturally, I will keep her close,” Ray replied, his voice softening just a fraction. “She possesses a gentle spirit, untainted by the jealousy that often plagues other women p>
A bittersweet smile crept onto Gale’s lips as she retorted, “I’ve heard whispers that she bears a striking resemblance to Athena. Is it her likeness that draws you to her, or do you see her as a mere substitute p>
At that moment, Ray’s complexion drained of color, as if she had pierced the veil of his innermost thoughts. But just as quickly, he regained his composure, his expression settling into a mask of indifference. “There are reasons behind my actions, Mother. You need not concern yourself with them p>
“Very well, I shall refrain from meddling in the affairs of the Core Palace,” Gale said earnestly, “but allow me to remind you of the consequences of the former dynasty’s missteps p>
She leaned forward slightly, her tone serious. “Ramberg is already a desolate land, its people mired in poverty. Raising taxes will only deepen their suffering, won’t it p>
Ray’s smile turned nonchalant, as if her words were mere background noise. “If we do not raise taxes, how shall we fund the military? How will we sustain the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command? Without a formidable army, how can I ensure the safety of Ramberg p>
As he spoke, a glint of cold determination flickered in his eyes. “Moreover, a fierce confrontation with the Grand Luminary Empire is inevitable p>
“But if you continue down this path, the people of Ramberg may rise against you long before Xander has a chance to strike!” Gale warned, her voice laced with concern.
Ray’s expression turned flat, his tone dull. “Your son is well aware of his responsibilities p>
With that, he rose from his seat, casting a brief glance at Gale. “I have matters to attend to, Mother. You should rest p>
He offered her a respectful bow before striding away, leaving Gale to watch him disappear, her heart heavy with anxiety.
Ray was walking a precarious path, teetering on the edge of a cliff where one misstep could lead to his undoing.
“Sirena, summon Nova to me. I wish to see her,” he commanded, his voice steady.
He was eager to discover just how closely Nova mirrored Athena.
When Sirena ushered Nova into the grand hall, Gale’s eyes widened in surprise.
She had heard that Nova and Athena shared only a seventy percent resemblance, yet standing before her now, Nova was an uncanny reflection of Athena.
Gale’s astonishment was palpable, and Sirena leaned in to whisper, “The King instructed the makeup artist to use Athena’s portrait as a guide for Nova’s look p>
Understanding dawned on Gale; it all made sense now.
Nova stood before the Queen Mother, her expression a mix of fear and trepidation, barely daring to breathe.
Though Gale harbored no fondness for her, she had no desire to make the girl uncomfortable. “Please, take a seat p>
With a deep bow, Nova complied, settling into the chair with an air of nervousness.
Every nuance of her expression, every flicker of her smile, echoed Athena’s likeness so closely that it was almost eerie.
Gale fell silent, realizing that Ray must have specifically instructed Nova to embody Athena’s mannerisms.
“Has the King been treating you well of late?” Gale asked casually, her gaze fixed intently on Nova’s face, studying every detail.
A faint blush crept across Nova’s cheeks at the question, and she nodded shyly, a gentle smile gracing her lips. It was a smile that Ray had encouraged Sirena to teach her, one that mirrored the joy Athena radiated when she was happy.
Gale’s heart constricted at the sight, a wave of suffocating emotion washing over her.
She finally grasped that Ray was not merely seeking a companion who resembled Athena; he was intent on crafting a living replica of her.
From the makeup to the posture, from the smile to the glimmer in her eyes, even the smallest gestures were being meticulously replicated.
“Do you understand why the King desires you to learn these things?” Gale inquired once more, her curiosity piqued.
Nova shook her head, then nodded slightly, using sign language to convey, ‘I resemble a woman the King admires p>
Sirena translated this for Gale, and her surprise was evident.
The realization struck her: Nova was aware of her role, and astonishingly, she was willing to embrace it.
In the dim light of the grand hall, the weight of expectations hung heavy in the air. Ray’s ambition to mold Nova into a living echo of Athena revealed not just his desire to fill a void left by loss, but also his struggle to navigate the complexities of power and affection. As he sought to command respect as a ruler, the emotional cost of his decisions became increasingly apparent. Gale, observing the dynamic between her son and Nova, felt a profound sense of sorrow for both of them. Ray’s ruthless pursuit of strength could lead him to overlook the humanity of those around him, while Nova, caught in the crossfire of royal machinations, grappled with her own identity as a mere reflection of someone else’s legacy.
Yet, amidst the turmoil, a flicker of hope emerged. Nova’s willingness to embrace her role, despite its origins, hinted at a resilience that could transcend mere imitation. Gale recognized that beneath Ray’s cold facade lay a heart still capable of warmth, a heart that might one day learn to love without the constraints of expectation. As she watched the two interact, a vision of a different future began to form in her mind—a future where Ray could forge his own path, one that honored both his mother’s wisdom and Nova’s individuality. In that moment, Gale understood that the true strength of a ruler lies not in the ability to command, but in the capacity to connect, to see beyond the surface, and to nurture the bonds that truly matter. With this realization, she resolved to guide Ray towards a path where power and compassion could coexist, allowing both him and Nova to emerge as their authentic selves.
In the upcoming chapter of “Fake Girl 772,” tensions will escalate as Ray’s ambitions collide with the fragile state of Ramberg.

The stakes are higher than ever, and Ray’s decisions could tip the scales in favor of either power or rebellion.
Moreover, Gale’s growing concerns about her son’s methods will come to a head as she confronts the implications of his choices. Will she find a way to steer him back from the brink of tyranny, or will her attempts to intervene only deepen the rift between mother and son? As the chapter unfolds, the dynamics between Gale, Ray, and Nova will shift dramatically, revealing hidden motivations and testing loyalties. Expect unexpected alliances to form and secrets to surface, as the court of Ramberg becomes a battleground for both political maneuvering and personal desires.
