"What happened?"
Soren quickly left the tent with Sylvia as soon as he heard the shout outside, only to see Aria covered in white from top to bottom.
A thin layer of crystalline ice clung to her clothes and skin as she stood there, completely immobilized, her body trembling slightly from the cold.
"S-Soren!"
Her gaze was fixed on the tent's entrance, frustration and disbelief flickering in her eyes.
As if she couldn't believe such a strong monster was inside the camp, right in front of Soren's tent.
"Chit!"
But the moment Frost saw Soren, he darted toward him, his tail swishing eagerly.
It was as if he were asking whether he had done well on his first order.
"..."
For a moment, Soren was speechless before he sighed and gave an order.
"Frost, release her. She is someone I know."
Fortunately, Frost was smart enough to simply freeze Aria and not actually attack her.
But this also made Soren realize he needed to be more careful when giving orders to his new pet.
"Krr...!"
