Sophia slightly lowered her head, softly chanting something under her breath. Then, a blue light barrier appeared, enveloping her and Ed.
Only then did Sophia begin to explain.
As the princess of the Human Empire, Sophia was born different from ordinary people. Chosen by the gods, she served as a bridge between humanity and the divine, aware of the coming crisis that could destroy the world.
When Ed arrived in this world, the gods, in a rare act, sent her a divine oracle, revealing that the prophesied child of legend, the one who could save the world, had finally appeared.
Sophia had initially planned to use the power of the Human Empire to quickly find the prophesied child. However, the gods warned her against intervening hastily, for doing so would make the final hope vanish.
Hearing this, Ed furrowed his brow and asked again, "Then why are you here in front of me now?"
