PoV: Aurea
"Your Highness, a message from our spy in Viscatya."
An officer just arrived at our office, flustered, carrying. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me with a respectful bow.
I open it with haste and a bit of worry. Viscatya is the capital city of Castro, so any message from there is bound to be bad news.
'The goddess is back and summoned a hero.'
That was the whole content of the message, which made me let out a sigh of relief. This is nothing unexpected. On the contrary, we made our plans with that idea in hand.
Just one word puzzles me. 'A' hero? Weren't there supposed to be three?
My doubts were dismissed when a message came from our person in Histria, telling of a hero in there as well.
"So they were sent to different countries."
"You should remember that other countries don't possess the communication speed that we have, Aurea."
Lovelace was at my side, as she was called for as soon as I disappeared along with my mother earlier today.
