After escaping from the Sun Temple, Valerian helped heal Adam.
Days later, Adam's severed hand regenerated in an inexplicable manner. Even Venia, who knew almost everything about Adam, did not anticipate this. She could not even understand the underlying principles of the regeneration magic in play.
Regardless, the story did not steer drastically from her desired development.
***
Adam met Luca Claudius.
Luca had already begun suspecting Adam as the latter arrived on Myrrandor without passing through Carina. He planned to do a thorough background check on Adam once they escaped the secret plane.
This was completely out of Venia's expectations!
The more individuals with power and influential backgrounds got involved in the story, the more carefully Venia needed to tread. As if the attention of the Old Mistress wasn't enough.
Things were getting more dire for Venia.
She needed to conclude the story quickly!
