The news had surprised Serena.
She was hidden within Alistair's estate during the exams, and even now, after everything, she has yet to meet Emeros.
She was tasked with necessary research with Alistair, who would use the knowledge from Valler to improve the movement technique of the Crows.
News had reached of how Emeros slew Pedagog Lord Barmivus Strekra Werembus. Alistair, who had learned of Serena's real identity and who was cursed by the Orange Pedagog, was now dead. The very man who ruined her kingdom condemned her with a dangerous alchemic scar that even Emeros did not know to remove yet. Even with the ability of the Assassin Physician Valler, this curse could not be removed.
Alistair had detailed how this Pedagog attempted to kill Emeros but was, himself, slain.
