In the mansion of the Freya Familia Folkvangr, Alise was being led by Hedin as they walked through the expansive, lavish hallways of the manor. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries and gleaming chandeliers that lit their path, but Alise's attention was on the people. Many Familia members cast glances her way, some with mild curiosity, some indifferent... But most with barely concealed anger.

Alise: *Looks like I'm not welcome here* 

She muttered, her eyes scanning the hostile faces.

Hedin: Pay them no mind. They assume you are my goddess's new favorite, someone she's taken a sudden interest in.

Alise: And that's not the case?

Her voice held a sharp edge, a bit of wariness creeping in. 

Alise: Astrea-sama mentioned that the goddess Freya has a habit of claiming those who catch her eye.

Hedin: No... that isn't the case this time.

Alise: Then what-

Before she could finish, Hedin's sharp voice cut her off.

Hedin: You will know everything when you speak with her. There's no need for idle chatter.

His tone left no room for further questioning, and the air between them grew heavy. Alise bit her tongue, the unease settling in her stomach as they continued in silence. 

Their footsteps echoed through the grand hall until they reached a pair of large, imposing doors. A giant figure stood guard, Ottarl the Boaz, his expression hard and focused.

Hedin: Ottarl, I've brought the girl. Let us in.

Alise: *So this is Ottarl... The strongest in Freya's Familia.* 

She thought, her eyes narrowing as she sized him up.

Alise: *It wasn't long ago that he became the captain when the last one stepped down...*

Ottarl: Mhm, she's been expecting you.

Without another word, Ottarl grabbed the heavy handle and pulled the doors open, the creak of the hinges filling the silence. As soon as Alise and Hedin stepped inside, the door closed behind them with a solid thud, leaving them alone in the dimly lit room. Freya sat behind a glass wall, her gaze fixed on the sprawling cityscape beyond.

Hedin immediately dropped to one knee, his head bowed low in respect.

Hedin: *I have brought the girl, Freya-sama.*

The moment Alise saw her, her heart pounded as she looked at the figure before her, the goddess of beauty and war. Freya's presence was overwhelming, a blend of serenity and quiet danger, like a storm waiting to be unleashed. Alise could feel her cheeks blushing just by gazing at the goddess.

Freya: *Smirk* You did well Hedin, please leave us.

Hedin: As you wish.

He quickly stood up and left the room, closing the doors behind him. As the doors were shut Freya stood up from her seat, slowly walking over to Alise.
