The news of the presence of the Crown Prince of Arcanis, accompanied by a red-haired woman, in the northwest of Zemaria, quickly spread throughout the land as soon as the priestess' message reached Rügengard Castle.
King Allister Van der Aart wasted no time and promptly dispatched his soldiers and most skilled elemental mages to ensure the safe return of the Crown Prince of Arcanis and the red-haired woman to the castle. The priestess had cautioned them that the woman did not resemble Princess Hera, tempering their expectations.
Despite this warning, the King held onto hope that the woman might still be his long-lost daughter, Hera. It had been an agonizing two years since he had last seen his beloved daughter and his longing to reunite with her was immeasurable.
