After Vaan settled his business with Helia Ashenborn, he left the Great Hall with more questions than answers.
Although Vaan succeeded in raising Helia Ashenborn's trust in him, he still couldn't pry too much into her private affairs—not unless he wanted to raise suspicions instead.
Nevertheless, Vaan was able to draw new speculations based on what he learned in his talk with Helia Ashenborn.
Based on Vaan's understanding, Helia Ashenborn was a person who only acted for her benefit. She was an ambitious witch who thirsted for more power, even if she hadn't shown it openly.
'Lord Helia is someone who has lived for a few hundreds of years, but she's been stuck at Peak-stage Senior Witch. Seeing others become High Witches, there's no way Lord Helia doesn't desire it as well,' Vaan mused.
'If my guess is right, Lord Helia wasn't involved in spreading the rumor of the magic flower. She was lured into the Red Goblin Mountains like Lady Aeliana.'
