Chapter 173: New Room & Old Friends

By the time I got back to my room, I was beyond exhausted over having to deal with people in general. The sun had set long ago, and as the moons rose up within the sky, I had a feeling my night was far from over. As soon as I walked through my door to my bedroom, Freya stood there waiting for me. And honestly, I was surprised how she had moved so quickly from the Grand Hall to my room without me even noticing.

“Freya, did you need something?” I asked her, watching as her cool eyes turned towards me with a smile on her face as she looked at a photo within a white frame I had set on my dresser.

The photo was of me and my mother from just before graduation. I hadn't wanted to take the picture with her, however, she had coerced me into doing so. And because of it, I was grateful, because it was a part of her I got to keep.
