Grudge

"What?"

Even Freya had her limits. I had just said that it was enough for me alone to bring their backup.

Even if Teleportation Magic was possible with a group, it was too difficult for her to believe that a single Magic User—especially a young one like myself—could perform it.

Still, my earlier efforts to earn her goodwill weren't in vain.

"I am also willing to have an escort from your end to accompany me, so they can monitor my activities. Surely, I wouldn't do anything as foolish as going against a representative of yours in your own Kingdom."

Freya's eyes faltered. She was calmly analyzing my words, no doubt.

'Shall we wrap this up?'

"For the future prosperity of our races, as well as a more efficient means of handling the current challenge that faces us, I humbly ask that you consider my suggestion."

After all, even though the Elves were trying their hardest to hide it, they also knew the truth.

'Time was of the essence!'
