Synopsis

Zita Manella Barr, the beloved daughter of the presumed deceased Onum Barr, was actually alive. Manella invited Zita Bellis Mallow to her planet, Sywenna, and even brought along Zita Wanda Pulver, the daughter of the Pulver family from Trantor. Zita Wanda was the first daughter of the Pulver family.

Zita Bellis Mallow handed one of the two pendants to the girl from Trantor.

This event gives a premonition that the emergence of the Second Foundation is drawing near.

Roa, the daughter of Zita Mallow, had an extremely intelligent daughter named Bayta.

The epic story of Bayta and Mule unfolds 300 years after the establishment of the Foundation. Bayta’s story begins like this.

Chapter 35
(A letter addressed to Roa’s daughter Bayta in full. By the way, Roa’s mother is Zita. She welcomed the sincere and hardworking young man Seewee as Roa’s husband. They had been living peacefully in Smyrno. When Bayta went to Terminus for university, at Bayta’s request, they suddenly decided to return to their ancestral land, Terminus.
They decided to repurchase the Gaal Dornick farm where their ancestors had lived. This was because there had been new changes in the Lavender there.)

To Bayta. I’m really sorry for sending you to Terminus alone. As instructed, everything is all sorted out and I’m fully prepared to go there. Seewee is muttering something, but there’s nothing to worry about.
The reason I’m writing this letter is because there’s something important. You know that my Arcadia grandmother was an expert in herbs, right? There are roughly 45 important uses of herbs, effective against a thousand diseases and preventive against countless ailments. Among them are anti-anxiety, immune-boosting, and purification. There seems to be a secret in this “purification.”
The other day, I found my Arcadia grandmother’s diary. While reading it, I had a sudden realization that I had to inform you about.
In the diary, Arcadia grandmother wrote about discovering “The Secret of Ponyets.”
It is said that when Ponyets (the self-proclaimed guardian of Althia, the first Arcadia’s friend) was traveling the galaxy in the Lavender business, he had a close call with a black hole due to a malfunction in the spaceship’s control system and lost consciousness. An unidentified person named “the immortal servant” appeared in his dream and said, “Don’t worry. The cargo of Lavender is not important. Plant that Lavender in Dornick’s farm.” It seems that the Lavender blooming in Gaal Dornick’s farm that you saw is the “Secret of Ponyets.” Its utility is explicitly stated as “decontamination of radiation substances considered absolutely impossible.” Isn’t it mysterious?

Bayta. I will attach a poem I like. It’s an Arcadia poem.

“Herb Herb fragrant
Sweeter than any greeting
Seeping into the heart
More beautiful than any music
Herb Herb fragrant
Love to the world
Now
Transcending time
Tears”
