Mask of Pride

 is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
There was a prince who suffered from a terrible shyness. His father, the king, had made his name as a great villain. He knew that his days were numbered and so started to prepare for when he was gone.

He sent a letter to a merchant and a few days later he received a mask.

It was apparently a magical item that could transform the character of its wearer.

The prince put the mask on and his fear slipped away.

"This mask is only temporary. I will make myself stronger so I do not rely on it. I will overcome my difficulties," he said to his father. And with that his father could rest in peace.

The prince followed in his father's footsteps to become king, but he was aware that his capabilities fell far short of his father's.

He did what he could to not be afraid of governance, but most times he could not do it without the aid of his mask.

He wore the mask so often, that at some point it became a part of him. He lost his gentle nature and he became an arrogant person.

He angered kingdoms who had been close allies since the days of his father. When people plotted against him, he burned the castle and ordered cruel executions.
