Upon his arrival, Raven was greeted with a rush of Aestradian citizens walking up to him with thanks in hand. Their minds have returned, and the future of their children has been secured thanks to him. Not to mention the military training to help the citizens fight against monsters by themselves, making them self-reliant, of course, with the exception of food, since the cursed land was still not fruitful enough to grow anything.
But as news spread through the crowd and eventually landed on Maria's ears, she didn't go to check on him directly; instead ordered a soldier to secure a room next to the false heroes at the inn. Finally, with Hilma in tow, she greeted Raven at the training ground, and the djinn sisters came not too long after.
Noticing Regalia as well, the priestess was slightly concerned at first, but upon hearing the news that everyone was supposed to return to Athenia for a few days of rest, all her worries were quickly washed away.
