"Since the explosions?" Regis asked.
Flonaralavenrosa shook her head. "Before that. I called her before those people came, too."
Regis frowned. He had thought that the curse might have interfered with their communication, but her answer made that explanation less convincing.
Elysia's prayers had also gone unanswered, even when she invoked Yggdrasilia's true name. The silence Flonaralavenrosa now described was likely connected to the one the queen had faced, though Regis knew nothing of those earlier prayers.
'Something that could stop a goddess from answering…?'
He looked at the injured girl beside him before setting the thought aside. Whatever had happened to Yggdrasilia, he was in no position to investigate it now.
"Flonaralavenrosa, can you—"
"You can call me Flona."
Regis paused. "You could've told me that earlier."
"You never asked."
