Diplomacy [Pt 1]

"Visitors, I once again thank you for your mighty efforts in subduing our enemies."

Freya was seated opposite me, or rather, all of us.

A desk separated her from us, and an empty chair was placed directly in front of her. Our group stood behind the chair.

'That's for our representative, no doubt.' I observed silently.

Behind her were six Elves who served as her guards. One, in particular, looked slightly different, having a more distinguished armor.

'She's most likely the deputy.' I thought.

They were most likely organized in order to match our numbers. That made the members on both sides seven each, and a total of fourteen.

I could sense their hesitation and skepticism despite how well they tried to hide it.

After saving Freya from the Demon Beasts and purifying the area, her guards arrived at the site.

They were initially wary of us, but Freya told them to back down and even treat us with absolute courtesy.
