Her In-Laws

The more they spent time together, the more Xenia easily felt relaxed being around Freya and talking to her. Maybe it was because she was just a year older, and Freya was naturally bubbly and friendly which reminded her a lot of how Jayra acted.

They casually shared some talks, and Freya eventually brought up something along the lines of, "Things would've been easy if Darius just turned you into a werewolf before introducing you to everyone here. You'll be considered one of us, thus allowing you to skip the trials of the elements and just do the trial by combat."

Hearing Freya, Xenia chuckled, "I guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I still need to fight one way or another if I want to secure my position as Darius's Queen."
