The next morning.
After washing up and changing clothes with Lasha's assistance, Shien had breakfast with everyone in the dining hall before heading to the royal palace.
He went to a magnificent and solemn palace located in the deepest part of the royal palace.
This palace had only been completed over the past month or so.
The palace had no name, but it was a temporary divine temple prepared for the God Race's Goddesses to reside in.
Yesterday, Shien and Iris had been received here by Lidas and Anima, where they had discussed the two awakened Heroes.
Today, Shien had come here as well.
For once, he had not gone straight to Roxie's chambers to see her first. Instead, he came here and informed the two clerics standing guard at the entrance that he wished to see Lidas and Anima.
Upon coming here, even the King had to let the clerics at the entrance announce him first. Only after receiving permission could he enter and meet whichever Goddess was willing to receive him.
Although Shien could have simply Teleported inside in an instant, and the two Goddesses probably would not have minded, some formalities were still unavoidable before Lidas, the Goddess of Fate, and Anima, the Goddess of Life.
If it had been anyone else, obtaining permission to see two of the Three Great Goddesses would have been exceedingly difficult.
Even the King would find it hard to receive an audience with the Three Great Goddesses without sufficient reason or special circumstances.
Yet after Shien arrived and made his request known, the clerics at the entrance promptly stepped aside and respectfully welcomed him in.
Clearly, as a Hero and the Supreme God's Blessing Bearer, it was easy for Shien to meet a Goddess, even one of the Three Great Goddesses.
