The Hera manor was bustling with activity as many were preparing a feast. Aurelia and her group had just arrived at the Hera manor where they were immediately greeted by other Familia members.

"Oh my god, it's really her! She's back!"

"And just look at their number, there are even more of them now."

"Ahhhh~ She's as regal as Alfia-sama!"

As they were being greeted by their Familia members, others quickly assisted with their things and equipment.

Aurelia: *Smile* It seems like our home hasn't changed a bit.

She gracefully dismounted her horse, handing the reins to one of the helpers.

Hera: Well, I do everything I can to keep it the same. It holds a thousand years of memories for me, after all.

Aurelia: So it would seem.

Galatea: We're preparing a feast for your return. After everyone's things are settled, we can go to the hall to celebrate.

Aurelia: *Smile* That's nice of you all to do.

Cynthia: You're responsible for gathering talented new members from the outside world. It's only natural we would celebrate your return.

Aurelia: *Chuckle* Touching.... Oh, by the way...

She glanced past the three women she was talking with and saw Alfia standing a few feet away, staring intently at the tower of Babel.

Aurelia: I've been meaning to ask, Alfia's been looking at Babel for a while now. She's barely talked on our way back to the manor. In fact, I only remember her talking when she greeted us at the city gates.

Galatea: Oh.... Alfia, huh.

They all turned their attention to Alfia, who remained oblivious to their scrutiny.

Silvia: *Sighs* I'll bet you I know why. It's probably because she's worried about Bell.

Aurelia: Bell? Why would she be worried about him? Did something happen?

Hera: Just recently, due to some events, we've allowed Bell to undergo training. Today is his first time in the dungeon.

Aurelia: EH! Y-You actually let him into the dungeon?

Hera: With some hesitation, yes.

Aurelia: B-But he's so young! D-Did you at least-

Hera: Of course, we didn't send him on his own. Right now, he's with members of the Astrea Familia.

Aurelia: The Familia of justice? I can't believe Alfia would agree to this.

Galatea: Tell me about it.

Hera: Alfia was not happy with our decision, and she didn't trust Astrea's children to keep him safe in the dungeon. So, Alfia sent Cynthia to keep an eye on them from the shadows.
