Outside Helia's Castle, Helia Ashenborn returned from her short trip to the Witch Union Bank, a bank with powerful backing and is founded across all seven witch kingdoms.
"Lord Helia!" Hester Thornton called as she rushed over after spotting Helia Ashenborn in a timely manner.
Nevertheless, Hester Thornton's urgency startled Helia Ashenborn as the latter raised an eyebrow.
"What's gotten you all flustered, Hester? Did something big happen in my short absence from the castle?" Helia Ashenborn inquired with narrowed eyes.
However, Hester Thornton quickly shook her head.
"Not so much as something big happened, but I've learned something very important, and it requires your immediate attention, Lord Helia."
Shortly after, Hester Thornton recounted to Helia Ashenborn everything she learned about the antimagic spores from Vaan in the infirmary.
