"Let someone else do it? Sweetie, you are the only one who can take over, but don't worry, if we can get your mother free, it will be quite some time before you inherit the throne." Freja saw the worry on Shaman's face as the responsibilities of a queen are daunting.
"Phew, at least that's for future Shaman to deal with." Shaman was relieved that she most likely would not take over the role anytime soon.
"Doesn't mean you can't start learning." Freja smirked and pulled out a random book from her inventory.
"No, no, no, it's fine, please put the book away." Shaman knew she could cheat but would rather not fry her brain about how to be a queen.
"Aww too bad, maybe another time." Freja threw the book back in her inventory.
"Anyway, you said there was something about Wolfy?" Shaman quickly changed the subject, wanting to find out what Freja had to say about Wolfy.
"Ahh yes, may I ask why do you have a pet wolf with my blood?" Freja casually asked the question, taking Shaman a moment to process what Freja just said.
"Wait, he has your blood in him?" Shaman knew Wolfy was from here but never thought he would be directly related to Freja.
"Yes, although I have no idea how you got your hands on him, it seems to be mixed with your blood, technically making it our child." Freja was rather intrigued by how Shaman was able to obtain Wolfy, this caused a question to pop into Freja's mind.
'Does Shaman also have a system?' A system window opened looking at Shaman's stats but found nothing out of the ordinary besides having much higher stats than a normal tier 5.
"Wait what?! Our child? You are kidding right? I know I have been a mother to him, but for you to be also his mother? Sorry but he is mine." Shaman was freaking out as she did not want Wolfy to be taken away because of his relation to Freja.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wait, Freja is also my mother?" Wolfy poked his head up confused by this sudden revelation.
"Pffft, don't worry it isn't specifically my blood, but the blood of my race." Freja laughed as she purposely worded it that way to see how Shaman would react to bearing her child.
"Grrrr. I have no idea how I got him, I was killing some forest wolves and they had an egg with them. After I took it back I put a bit of my blood on the egg and it hatched the next day." Shaman glared at Freja, hoping she would not dig deeper into the subject.
"Don't look at me like that. Anyway it seems like I have gotten an answer to a question." Freja knew that this wasn't natural and figured Shaman had a system.
"Now tell me Wolfy, where do you have to go to evolve?" As just one last confirmation Freja asked a question that only she knew the answer to.
"He has to go to the dark forest springs." Shaman answered without really thinking about it as she assumed it was known.
"Oh? How do you know about the sacred springs that not even my closet partners know?" Freja smiled as she just backed Shaman into a corner, as the place she mentioned was only known to her.
"I uhhh." Shaman failed to find the words as she had no explanation that would not reveal the system.
"Then let me ask you this, ever heard of the place called Earth?" Freja leaned in and Shaman's eyes widened.
"Wait, so you are also transported?" Shaman could not believe what she was hearing, She did have her suspicions of other people being transported, but to actually find someone was not something she expected.
"So you are like Shaman?" Elysia had also sat up as she knew that Shaman was not from this world and was just as shocked as Shaman was.
"Fufu~ what a surprise, I wouldn't have thought that there would be other people getting isekied." Freja was pleasantly surprised as this was her first time meeting someone from her own world that hasn't tried to kill her.
"I- I have no words, I can't believe there are other people who were transported. I also think the Pope is one since he has a system, but you can't really confirm with him." Shaman felt relieved and instantly more comfortable with Freja as they were both from the same world.
"There are others with the system who are likely transported but they usually end up getting greedy and think they are the main character of this world." Freja's face went cold as she seemingly remembered some people.
"Aha, the last thing I would want to do is fight you." Shaman figured Freja was the one that fought with them.
"It's in the past, but this is besides the point, you need to visit the springs. I can take you there, but I have to prepare some things first." Freja needed time as it was a sacred place. Without taking the proper steps, Wolfy's evolution process could be ruined.
"We can catch up later and talk more about home, but sadly this world's responsibilities take priority." Freja was excited to talk to Shaman about her home but it will have to wait for when they have some more free time.
"I have a mission for you and your friends." Freja leaned back, pulling out a piece of paper.
"Already a mission? I thought we would have some more free time." Shaman was enjoying the downtime but it seemed like Freja wanted to keep them busy.
"You need to earn your stay. Don't worry, I just have a few nobles that need to be killed." Freja wanted to put the new available hands to work as she also had to run the fox realm leaving less time to do her own work.
'Wait why nobles?" Shaman found it odd Freja would be killing off nobles as they generally had quite a bit of power.
"They are corrupt. Someone leaked information about the queen, so now they are trying to take advantage of the situation to line their pockets with more money." Freja had a rather annoyed look as she skimmed the list of nobles that needed to be killed.
"Assuming that you are alright with killing weak nobles I expect you to be out tonight killing as many as you can." Freja passed the paper to Shaman.
Shaman and Elysia looked through the list of names and pictures of the nobles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"So we just go to the address listed on the paper and kill them without being seen?" Shaman was unsure if this was a stealth mission or they are to barge in through the front door.
"Try to stay silent, but if you can't, by all means, set their petty mansions on fire." Freja did not care for what method, as long as the job was done. Shaman and Elysia nodded with Elysia smiling as setting a mansion ablaze sounded fun.
"Alright my cuties~ stay safe, they are not that strong, but they could be a higher tier so make sure to do the job thoroughly." Freja, clicking her fingers, teleported out of the room to prepare the springs and left the girls to complete the mission.
*Sigh* "So much new information, I feel like my head is going to explode." Ever since they arrived in the Freya forest they had been given so much new information and it was hard to keep up.
"You can say that again, this isn't even the end since we still probably have more to talk about with Wolfy." Elysia was not having it as bad since she relied on Shaman for remembering the important details.
"I was still a little shocked to hear that I am related to Freja." Wolfy did not expect to hear news about his origins and was rather excited to learn more.
"Well you will most likely get personal training from Freja so good luck on surviving." Shaman could only imagine the mental torture Wofly will go through by being around Freja all the time.
"Maybe I should just hide." Wolfy went into his shadow as thinking about being alone with Freja sounded like hell.
"Pffft, I am sure it won't be that bad. At least you will be able to evolve soon." Shaman tried to salvage Wolfy's mood and it seemed to work as he poked his head out from his shadow.
"True, hurry up then." Wolfy wanted to evolve as soon as possible since there was a good chance he would get his human form.
"Okay, okay we will get ready now, Elysia I will go talk to Clara so no burning the place down while I'm gone." Shaman stared at Elysia, as last time she was left alone a dungeon room was set ablaze.
"I-i, okay." Elysia lowered her head embarrassed.
"Good, now I will be back in a moment." Shaman got up and left the room to go speak with Clara.
