Chapter 177: You Show Off, I Show Off [bonus]
When Freya had seen Regulus deal with the masked figure firsthand, every last doubt had evaporated.
She'd been watching him the entire time, of course.
She'd brought him from England. The assignment was hers. Letting him get hurt on day one was not an option.
So she'd seen it clearly: that grey-green curse vanishing for the briefest instant before impact, crossing a sliver of distance through nothing, and reappearing directly against the target's chest.
The spell's effect alone was impressive enough. What made it extraordinary was the delivery.
Freya looked into Regulus's eyes and found them bright with anticipation.
She nodded, said nothing more, and stowed her wand. The map dissolved.
They finished the rest of their meal and headed back.
"Goodnight, Freya."
