Hearing that Artemis was waiting in the living room, Hera left her office in a hurry, with Europa close behind her.

As she opened the living room door, she saw Artemis rise from her seat, standing next to an unfamiliar elf.

Hera: *Smile* Artemis it is you!

Artemis: Lady Hera it's been a while.

Upon standing up Artemis politely bowed towards Hera, with the elf beside her doing the same soon after. 

Hera: Oh please I told you there's no need for that.

Artemis: *Chuckle* You know I can't help it.

As the two stood in front of each other Hera raised her arms as she hugged Artemis which the blue haired goddess quickly reciprocated. 

After their short hug the two sat down facing each other.

Artemis: First of, let me introduce my vice captain Lante.

Lante: It's very nice to meet you Hera-sama, I've heard a lot about you.

Hera: Oh? Well it's nice to meet you too.

Artemis: I would've brought my captain but I'm punishing that girl right now, she got into another fight with one of Astrea's kids, Lante told me all about it.

Hera: *Chuckle* Looks like you have a bit of a handful with that captain of yours... Speaking of which, I'm sure you've heard of my captain, Europa.

Europa: It's a pleasure to meet you, Artemis-sama.

Europa gave a graceful bow, her posture straight and composed. Unlike Lante, she kept her position directly behind Hera, exuding the steady presence of a loyal guard, her gaze calm yet focused.

Artemis: *Smile* Who hasn't heard of her? The strongest mortal in the lower world, and the only Level 9 in all of Gekai, Europa.

Europa: *Chuckle* Oh, please... I'm really not that impressive.

Europa pressed her hands to her cheeks, her face flushing slightly as she tried to downplay the praise, the faint embarrassment softening her usual confident demeanor.

Hera: So then, what made you settle in Orario Artemis? From what I thought you would be wandering the world.

The atmosphere in the room quickly shifted, Lante looked over to Artemis with a worried look. 

Hera: Artemis?

After a while Artemis let out a small sigh, she looked to her feet as she placed a hand over her mouth.

Artemis: Listen Hera, your the first person I'm telling you this but...... My Familia have been wiped out.

Hera: What?!

She exclaimed, her eyes widened. 

Artemis: About a month ago there's this monster.... It wiped out almost my entire Familia. Apart from my Lante here and my captain all of my other children have been killed.
