A silhouette of a person was standing in front of Raven as soon as he entered the Crown Space.
This person is a woman, stood about 6'3 inches tall. Just like Inos, she appeared as a mere outline, a ghost per se. Which gave of an impression of mystery for Raven. And because she appeared to be at the same state as Inos, Raven thought that this person must be an important one for the Crown. He also didn't feel any kind of ill intent from her.
"Well met, Young Candidate. I am Astrid, the 7th Heir to the throne." The silhouette performed a curt bow, to which Raven followed unconsciously.
"I thought as much." Raven mumbled, he then decided to introduce himself to her. "Well met, Madam. My name is Vendrick but I go by Raven. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Oh, you." Astrid laughed merrily and said, "Drop the formalities. No need to call me Madam or something. Just refer to me by my name, and I'll do the same."
