In Astoria Braveheart's recount, she also included her speculations on the fate of Vaan Raphna, whose body may have been taken away by the Assembly of Silent Night for research.
"How preposterous!" Henrietta suddenly barked after listening to Astoria's recount.
"If this person could amass so much knowledge in a place like Blackmoon Academy in one year, how much could he have achieved if he had come to Blackthorn Academy?! Why wasn't such a talented person protected at all cost?!"
"He had been living under the radar, Your Majesty. Wise Scholar Eniwse's research contributions most likely all belonged to him… I find it so regretful that I've learned about him—only after it was too late," Astoria said with a sad sigh.
Henrietta glanced at Astoria and understood how she felt.
If such a peerlessly talented person had been living so close to her and died before she found out the person, she would also feel immensely regretful. It was such a waste of talent.
