[Event] [Elven Utopian War] [78] Charming Freyja

"It's over, Princess."

Toran's voice rang out just as I reached the entrance.

I skidded to a stop.

Inside the room, Toran stood, his back to me.

Seated behind her desk was Freyja.

"You certainly took your time, Loki."

Instead of answering Toran, Freyja's gaze flicked past him and landed on me. Her voice was calm, almost amused, as she addressed me directly.

Toran turned, his expression darkening the moment his eyes met mine. "I had hoped you wouldn't return so soon."

I stepped forward. "You've been keeping yourself busy, haven't you?" I said as I closed the distance between us, slowly making my way toward Freyja.

Toran let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "Naïve. That's all you are. Did you really think I'd lose that many ships to Karl Dolphis?"
