After helping Lauren recover, Vicente told his sister to wait for him in the capital of the Chutha Dynasty. He told her of his plan to go to Seidel Kingdom and prepare the family forces. When it was time for them to proceed with their plans to deal with Demien, he would return to this city.

The same day he arrived in the dynasty's capital, he left the state and headed to the vicinity of the Seidel Kingdom's capital, which was not within reach of his wormhole, but quite close.

In less than a day's travel, after a brief conversation with Lauren, Vicente would enter the Seidel Kingdom and return to the kingdom's capital after years of absence!

...

Already knowing that Nina was currently living in the kingdom's capital, Vicente made his way to Grandis, finding it an even better place than the capital of the Chutha Dynasty.

The city was buzzing with an ever-growing population, with a large secure area to exploit resources and ensure local security.

The unorganized parts of the city that had existed because of migrations no longer existed, and its old boundaries had advanced against the surrounding terrain, along with the emergence of new neighborhoods.

Vicente was just observing these positive signs when he felt Nina's aura, somewhat weakened and wounded, as she entered the city at another entrance, along with a group of men.

Vicente flew towards her, not needing much more information to know that she was returning from some kind of mission.

When he got close to her and the group, Vicente used his powers to help her heal along with the men, causing them to stop momentarily in the middle of a busy avenue. At first, they did not understand what was happening.

Watching his wounds heal, Killian's eyes widened as he saw his arms, partially exposed by the armor he was wearing, which had been severely damaged, heal.

"That..."

"Vicente!" Nina realized who could be behind this and raised her eyes as she said her brother's name with joy.

Unlike what he had done to Lauren, Vicente immediately used his regenerative ability to help Nina recover not only from her injuries and fatigue, but also from her deafness. Before even talking to her, he focused on solving his little sister's problem.

The beautiful and strong Nina, who saw her brother landing in front of her, with his six pentagrams of the first magical form appearing, suddenly froze her expression.

Hearing sounds for the first time in two decades, Nina narrowed her eyes and frowned, the muscles in her face twitching.

For a moment, her knees weakened as she brought both hands to her face in pain.

The world was so quiet for her. But with the snap of a finger, she heard wagon wheels moving down the street, the metallic clank of armor and the rattling of weapons from the men near her, as well as the guards and citizens in the area.

The murmur of other people's conversations, the sound of beasts breathing nearby, joined the sound of blacksmiths, alchemists, and other professionals working here and there.

The city was a home of noise, a chaotic environment full of audible information at almost every moment.

Unaccustomed to so much information, Nina felt pain, not coping as well with regaining her lost senses as Lauren had.

But that was to be expected. She had only cultivated to the 4th stage, while Lauren was already at the end of the 5th stage, with a pentagram to spare.

Vicente stopped next to his sister and touched one of her shoulders while manipulating her mind. "Focus on my voice. I know it's uncomfortable, but you'll get over it one way or another. Just try to get used to it. Sooner or later, it won't be so uncomfortable anymore."

Nina raised her lowered head and looked at her brother's lips, hearing Vicente's voice for the first time in years.

She felt enchanted by Vicente, feeling the other sounds lose volume as his voice stood out.

Under the influence of one of Vicente's mental abilities, Nina learned to discriminate sounds and focus on what interested her, gaining subtle control over her hearing in less than a minute.

Was less than a minute fast? Perhaps. But with mana at her disposal and a high level of talent, Nina would hardly need more than a few minutes, an hour at most, to get used to hearing things.

Having fought many times and faced deadly dangers, this girl was used to feeling a certain amount of pain when she went on missions. After minimally controlling her hearing, she ignored the discomfort she still felt to smile and hug her brother, happy to have him back.

"Thank you, older brother," she said as she wrapped her arms around Vicente.

He did the same as he smelled Nina's long black hair, happy that she was okay, that she was so strong and that he could help her before something more important happened.

After a minute of cuddling, he opened his eyes and looked at Killian, nodding in recognition.

Returning his eyes to Nina's, he said to her, "Let's talk in the royal palace. I have some important matters to discuss."

"What is it?" Nina asked curiously.

"Let's wait until everyone is together so we can talk," he said as he looked at one man in Nina's group. "You there." He pointed to one of the men. "Go find Newton and Jasmine. I want them both at the royal palace in five minutes at the latest."

"Yes, Venerable." The man promptly left with two other members of Nina's group.

Vicente then led the way for the rest of the group to the royal palace, talking to his sister about Lauren on the way.

"I saw Lauren a few hours ago, Nina. I also helped her recover. Now she can see as well as you can hear."

"Is that true?" Nina's eyes sparkled as she clenched her fists.

"You'll see each other soon. Anyway, big changes are coming. Get ready for them. You'll soon have to take on an even greater role of responsibility." He looked at her differently, with great expectations for his sister.

Nina felt good to receive a mission from her brother. "I will do my best. Whatever it is, I'll defend the family with all the strength in my heart!"
