Amid the unanimous cheers of everyone in Stormveil Castle, their great monarch—the troublesome little girl who had run away from home without a good reason many times—finally returned to the castle and stayed for several days straight. The senior officials, who had been growing anxious and worried over their monarch's frequent disappearances but could do nothing about it, could finally breathe a huge sigh of relief.
By now, the vast regions of Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula were still hard at work restoring production and developing their lands. In particular, after the Carian royal family of Liurnia and Redmane Castle in the Caelid Wilds had successively sent friendly letters and expressed an interest in signing relevant agreements, several regions south of Leyndell had suddenly become connected. The situation had swiftly improved, and Stormveil's senior officials were more fired up than ever.
Everyone knew this was a crucial moment, so Stormveil's monarch had returned at just the right time, naturally helping steady people's nerves and boost morale.
In the eyes of the witch Therolina, who was single-mindedly pursuing a certain goal, and Stormveil's senior officials, their miraculous monarch had done a truly splendid job.
First, she had taken Stormveil Castle. Then, she had pacified the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Liurnia and established friendly relations with the Carian royal family. After that, she had bestowed her favor upon Starscourge General Radahn of Redmane Castle, bringing the three lands into a close, delicate relationship and setting everything on a better course. While deeply impressed, they had also finally put aside their concerns about whether Queen Annie, who had appeared amid "storm and flame" to save Stormveil, could ascend the throne of Elden Lord.
