Lucia woke up with a splitting headache and quickly tried to open her heavy eyes.

"Ahhh!

The princess is awake!

The princess is awake!"

Immediately, her loyal maids around quickly split themselves into 2 like the wind.

Some went to inform his majesty, while others hurried along with food and water.

It had been 2 days since she had that vision.... And now, she had fully digested what had been sent to her by the heavens.

She was just happy that this time, she didn't wake up several months later..... Or even more.

A few minutes after she had woken up, the door to her room was immediately burst open, and in came her family... As well as a few prominent advisors within the city.

.

"My little baby!... It's good that you're awake!

Are you feeling pains anywhere?

Is your body alright?

Do you need me to send for healer Vegul over here?"

"_"

Sitting by the corner of her bed.... was a curvy voluptuous woman, who looked very similar to her appearance-wise.

This woman was her mother, Queen Beverly.

"My little baby... Do you need me to do anything for you?" The woman said tenderly, while hugging and squeezing the little girl with all her might.

"Calm down Beverly..... The girl just woke up; and will need some breathing space first". Said a man who also looked somewhat similar to her as well.

This man was her Father..... The official ruler of the prosperous Empire of Zalipnia.

Unlike most continents within the Hertfilian world, the Continent that they were currently on... Had more than 30 empires within it!

It wasn't that their landmass was ridiculously big, but that all these empires within this particular continent... only consisted of 4 or 5 cities, towns or villages within them.

So for the empire of Zalipnia, it only comprised of; 1 major city, 3 town and 4 villages all in close proximity to each other.

.

The man who had just spoken out previously was Lucia's father, King Uther Wynterborne... Who ruled over the entire Zalipnia.

"Little Lucia, do you have enough strength and energy to talk about your vision?

Or would you prefer for us to come in after you rest up a bit more."

"Thank you, Father..... But there's no need for that.

It's best that we discuss his now, rather than later.

After all..... This concerns the state of our empire and its people.

As such... It would be truly callous of me to not tell you all about the message from the heavens." Lucia answered, with a weak and fragile tone.

Her voice echoed within the room.... And soon, the advisors all sighed from relief.

Even though their princess was obviously exhausted, Luckily.... She was willing to talk about it now, lest they die of anxiety from the wait.

.

"Princess.... We had some people sketch out what you drew on the ground during your trance.

Just before you fainted, you had mentioned that this man was our saviour.

But when will this saviour of ours be arriving exactly?"

"Princess.... Will he really accept to invest so much just to help us?"

"What will we do if he then rejects us?"

"_"

The advisors began by bombarding her with numerous questions... As they truly wanted to know whether this saviour of theirs would truly risk his life for them.

.

One had to know that the vision only said that the man in the sketch was their saviour..... Which for them translated to the fact that if they wanted to get their empire back, as well as free up their people..... then they would only be successful with the help of this saviour of theirs.

And this vision also didn't state it clearly, if they had to go look for him or wait for him to come here instead.

.

Again..... If they truly decided to look for him instead, would he be that willing as to his own place and follow them back here.

Right now, their gold and many of their rare treasures that they could offer this saviour of theirs... we're all kept within a secret vault in the royal palace back in the city.

Hence if they were going to leave, it would definitely be empty-handed.

So will this saviour of theirs get offended and think that they weren't sincere enough with their requests?

.

One should know that even though they trusted the judgement from the heavens..... To ere was human.

So what if by the time that they had gotten to this saviour of his..... He had become a totally corrupt individual just from the influences around him?

Even the Bible on earth had kings like king David... Who had betrayed God's will just for lust.

.

He had seen the beautiful Bathsheba, and had immediately decided to kill her husband just so that he could place her in his harem.

Even though he had always followed God's will, he was still human... And once or twice, people fell for human sins like lust, greed and so on.

So in their own situation.... what if this saviour of theirs didn't seem like someone that the heavens should recommend?

These thoughts had all bothered these advisors these past few days.

But what they didn't know.... Was that it was because of all these temptations, that the Gods had created the 'systems'... That would keep these 'saviours' in check.

.

Lucia listened to everyone's questions and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

From her vision..... The heavens had revealed that this saviour if theirs would definitely do what was needed to be done.

And since they had even given her a map, she had also concluded that they had given them the option of waiting or going out to meet their saviour.

.

After explaining everything to everyone, their eyes soon lit up... And their faces were immediately filled with smiles.

If they could find this saviour of theirs, then their people would finally be freed from the hands of these people from the temple of Adonis.

But now, the question was that who will go?

.

"Father..... I'm going for this mission, since I have the map imprinted in my mind.

This way, if the sketched maps ever got lost..... Then I could help navigate everyone to safety easily." Lucia said confidently.

"Father..... If Licia's going, then it's only natural for her to have extra protection.

So I think that I should go on this mission too." Said Lucia's second brother, Javis.

"No father.... Let me go instead." Added Lucia's oldest brother, Andrew.

"_"

They all continued to give multiple ole reasons why they had to go out there.

And the more they spoke, the more excited they became.

Their hearts pounded, as they thought of the fact that they finally had a chance to help their people.

.

Mother Beverly on the other hand, felt like someone was ripping her heart apart.....the more she listened to her children.

"No none of you will go!.... It's too dangerous!

What if you all get spotted by hoodlums and end up getting chased or killed instead?" Mother Beverly said, while shaking her head multiple times.

She was Uther's only wife.

And out of the fruits of their blissful marriage, came their beloved children... 2 boys and a daughter.

And with all these troubles going on, she couldn't bear to loose any of them anytime soon.

.

"Beverly..... It's time for the boys to grow up.

Our people need this saviour, and it's their duty as princes to go out there and look for him.

Do you understand?" Uther said in a coaxing tone.

"But...But..... But....." As mother Beverly tried to speak, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.... And the soon, the waterworks began to flow on out.

'Woo!... Woo!... Woo!'

As mother Beverly cried, everyone sighed and also tried to coax her as well.

Indeed.... It was time for the princess and princes to leave their 'nest'.

And all they could do right now, was pray that they made it back safe and sound.

.

Uther looked outside the window while hugging his wife.... And immediately began to think of what was needed for such a journey.u

Judging from the map, from his rough estimations.... this journey would take them at least 8 months before they would arrive at their saviour's exact location.

So they would need enough food, enough fishing rods, guards, as well as some money just in case of emergencies.

.

And so just like that, Lucia and her brothers.... They had all begun making plans for their journey to the East.

As for that saviour of theirs..... He was currently within the lower region, talking to Overseer Tim about a new project.

He too had no time on his hands, as he also needed to get work done A.S.A.P.

.

"Your majesty..... So you want us to begin work on a project before you leave for your mission?"

"Yup!" Landon answered playfully.

"Your majesty.... What is this project about?" Tim asked curiously.

But rather than answering him, Landon immediately passed along some notes to him.

Tim looked at the title of the project in confusion.

.

Landlines?

What was that?
