Whisperer’s Haven

Helvis, it's good to see you," she said with a warm smile.

"It's wonderful to see you too, Your Majesty," Helvis replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I was just planting some seeds that Reeve sent us. They're the main ingredient for the Cescil poison, and Ragnar ordered us to cultivate them for research."

Sophia's expression turned serious. "Are they starting to grow?" she asked, looking at the small shoots breaking through the soil.

Helvis nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, they've already begun to sprout. We call this plant the Whisperer's Haven."

"Whisperer's Haven? Why such a name?" Sophia inquired.
