Agda strode briskly down the empty hallway of the castle, dressed in the distinctive red armor of the Nightrage family. Walking beside her was a beautiful young woman with long black hair, black eyes, and red lips on her diamond-shaped face, framed by a cute, sharp nose and silky white cheeks. The woman stood about shoulder height with Agda and was also clad in silver armor, a departure from Erwin's previous maid, who looked much older.
"As a royal guard, you should understand that I cannot treat you like my son's wife while on duty. Therefore, do not expect any special treatment from me, Freyja." Agda explained in a firm tone.
Freyja flashed a smile and said, "I don't expect to be treated as one, captain."
"Good," Agda replied with a nod, and they continued walking towards their destination - the queen's chambers, where they had been summoned. Perplexed by the summons, Freyja asked her mother-in-law, "Captain, do you know why Her Highness has called us?"
