Retracting the Deal

Later in the afternoon, Elsa was awakened by the sound of the birds perched on her window. They seemed to be used to people since some of them were already pecking her hair.

"Princess? Are you awake already?" someone knocked on the door.

"Yes, come in," Elsa replied to the unfamiliar female voice.

"I am Frieda, Your Highness, and I am assigned to be your servant for the whole duration that you are here in Qiryn."

"Oh! They must have been really sorry for how Elandir acted. I will only stay here maybe for two more days, I really don't need a servant, I can manage on my own."

"But Your Highness, I can also show you around, so you won't get bored," Frieda offered with a gentle smile.

Elsa was impressed by the elf's beauty and felt that she would surely get along with her, "Alright if you insist. I think touring Qiryn would be fun."
