Chapter 887: Is it because of me?
The following day, Hera wasted no time and didn’t entertain unnecessary thoughts about her future as Hera Cruel. Deborah might have failed to seek Ram’s help or take the first step in their plan. However, Deborah was fortunate to meet Fig under the real Hera’s order.
Aware that the real Hera was making moves outside of Dragon’s domain, the current inhabitant of this body found hope in her heart. Although their initial plan to seek Ram’s assistance failed miserably, this turned out to be a better outcome. Therefore, she took action the very next day.

"We’re going to leave this place," Hera reiterated, this time with a firmer, calmer tone. "There isn’t a specific time or date, but it’s best to be prepared at any moment."
Leo looked down, trying to process everything she had just shared without any prior warning. Hera hadn’t given him a heads-up or forewarned about anything; it was a little overwhelming.
"Wait..." he breathed out, focusing back on her. "Can we please slow down and discuss this properly? Not long ago, we were considering staying here for the time being. And now, you’re suggesting we can escape? How? What happened? What’s going on?"
Hera took a deep breath, assessing the confusion on his face. She wished for him to comprehend without questions, but if she were in his place, she’d feel just as lost.
"Okay," she exhaled. "I’ll do my best to explain without causing more confusion. I’ll talk slowly. What do you want to know?"
