[Bonus Chapter] THE MENTORS

<THREE YEARS AGO…>

Neoma returned to the empire as a hero.

Her "children" were also hailed as the new heroes of the continent for helping her subdue the Darkness in Valmento. They were also celebrated as heroes in Hazelden Kingdom for exposing the corruption of the king and the Crown Prince.

She had to endure and smile during the whole parade.

Yes, she and her "children" received the hero's welcome when they returned to the empire. The whole Royal Capital was filled with people who wanted to cheer for them. Everyone was happy for her, and proud of her achievements.

["The future of our empire is bright, thanks to our brave and righteous Lesser Moon."]

["Our young Crown Prince was chosen by Lord Yule to find the next saint for a reason."]

["His Royal Highness has the eye for people, too– his future knights were also brave and strong!"]

Those were the things that she heard during the parade.
