Hedan, Royal Port. The moment Estella stepped off the ship onto Hedan soil, that long‑lost sense of solidity surged into her body. The Fertility Magic Ring awakened of its own accord—she was the darling of this land, a Princess of Helden, bearer of Moncalleta's Divine Favor.
This land was welcoming her home.
Hum… Estella's ears rang for an instant. Power poured into her like a rising tide; the Fertility Magic Ring drank in that force, and the hollow exhaustion she had incurred to rescue Li Xin was being filled by a vigorous breath of life.
The Golden Tree was also welcoming her return.
It had recovered much better.
Feeling this welcoming breath of life, as a Divine Favored she clearly sensed that Golden Tree—polluted and ruined during her royal uncle's rebellion, barely salvaged by Sacrificing a King and a Demigod—now brimming with vitality once more, radiating power, greeting her so warmly, drawing so close to her.
