There was also a different type of mourning happening in the Gaea Villa.
Fortunately, it was just Ansel mourning for Althea's garden.
Some of the enemies targeted the Villa areas during the war. When they realized that none of the Elders were there, they decided to destroy what they could to vent.
Fortunately, the guards found them relatively quickly so the damage wasn't too bad. It was just that they targeted Althea's exposed fields, and at least half of them was ruined.
One was even a fire elementalist and he burned a lot of plants, those jerks!
Seeing her brother on the verge of tears as if every fire user's damage was his fault, Althea patted his red head.
"Silly, don't you know ashes are good for the growth of plants?"
This calmed Ansel down a bit, and then he looked at the rest of the family. He curled up his long sleeves and showed off his sinewed arms.
"Well, then… Let's go fix this!"
…
Half an hour later, the repair works went into full swing.
