"Heroes, demigods, trials... we can talk about these things later, Phoebe."
A calm and melodious female voice came from the other side of the courtyard, gradually approaching.
"The stories of mythology may last for millennia, but Athens today cannot wait even a moment."
"Aspasia."
Lann and Cassandra both turned around, the Demon Hunter nodded in greeting to the newcomer and received a nod in return.
"I'm glad to see you well, Lann."
Her thick eyebrows were as if sculpted from graphite, her captivating features combined into a visage of beauty, yet exuding rationality and composure.
Wearing a Greek gown, Pericles' lover and advisor approached the two.
"Your return to Athens at this time, even if only in spirit, is a tremendous encouragement to us."
Aspasia said earnestly and sincerely to the two.
Being a politician praised by Pericles, when Aspasia needed to be sincere, her sincerity was undeniable.
Lann discreetly extended a hand to stop Cassandra from speaking.
