Valerian received an earful from Fragrantia before he managed to calm her down. He had to tell her that the reason for his travel was to get Fortuna to a secret place of the dragonkin. The empress calmed down a bit and told him about the war breaking out on the borders of Sapientia and Valkyria. She asked him to come back sooner.
She was worried that the child was inexperienced in the situation of war and did not want him to meet any misfortunate event. Valerian did not create a ruckus and agreed to her words. He said that he will be back in seven days. Fragrantia wanted to rebuke him but this was indeed the fastest time possible.
The distance between the two empires was not small. After communicating with Valerian, Fragrantia eased a little, and then she went to deal with the issues of her family. Meanwhile, the entire palace was rumbling with movement.
