It wasn't hard to guess what was on Emilia's mind – her aunt was undoubtedly worried, perhaps even more than many others, about the news of how dangerous the adventures in Elheim had turned out to be. And she clearly didn't want to lose any of her pupils, especially since Uncle was sending them on dangerous missions in a sort of voluntary-compulsory manner. At the same time, she didn't oppose her husband's plans as actively as Cecilia, Almandina, or Claudia did. Perhaps she knew something that others didn't. Or maybe she was simply keeping it to herself, due to her gentle nature and patient temperament. Unfortunately, Kalentia couldn't imagine how she could help her aunt cope with such anxieties – she herself wasn't going to give up traveling, and promises to return safe and sound would be nothing more than empty words. Therefore, even without knowing the best way to approach the issue, the Argalian left Emilia alone with her thoughts, fearing that her intervention would only make her aunt's mood even worse.

Leaving the estate, Kalentia headed towards the statue of the Goddess and mentally prayed that Artery would protect Baldur as a whole, and their group in particular, from any possible misfortunes. That Gungnir, far from prying eyes, wouldn't be tormented by the thought that he had sent his pupils to certain death. That Emilia wouldn't helplessly watch as her children, one after another, died in the prime of their lives. That none of Baldur's mentors would lose their dear friends and students. That she, or other members of their group, wouldn't have to mourn the deaths of their brothers and sisters, not knowing what to say to the others upon their return home. That whatever misfortune they encountered, they would overcome it.

Having finished her prayer, the Argalian decided to visit the "Hermit," driven not least by curiosity. While the growth of Baldur and the changes taking place in it were viewed ambiguously by many residents, Kalentia herself had not yet decided how to feel about it. On the one hand, she would undoubtedly miss the old, quiet, and peaceful Baldur. On the other hand, changes don't always lead to something bad, and the girl was at least interested in what the future holds for their hometown. And she was definitely pleased with the plans to build a railway station – no matter what anyone says, it was hard to deny the convenience of such an invention.
