"So you had the princess all along. If you had brought her sooner, then we wouldn't have had to destroy so much of your world."
Grinot spoke with an authoritative voice filled with smug pride. He knew that they were the more powerful race here, so he didn't feel the need to show any sort of respect to people who were lesser than him. But unfortunately, Fredrica didn't understand a single word Grinot said! Fredrica put her hand out towards the man behind her, and he handed her a small box. She opened the box and Grinot blinked in surprise when he saw what was inside. It was a small round stone with a rune inscription on the front, and he immediately knew it was an artefact.
Fredrica took the artefact and she spoke.
"This will help us understand each other. Please speak."
The stone pulsed with a red light, and Grinot's brow furrowed since he didn't understand anything that Fredrica was saying. He narrowed his eyes at her and spoke in a gruff voice.
