Hearing that, Kristian's shoulders eased slightly, and he turned back to the door, trying to open it.

(Freya's gaze fixed on the door. If Kristian actually managed to open it, she'd be stunned.

As expected, he yanked at it a few times, but it was sealed tight.

Kristian's brow furrowed. This room was more isolated than the others. Everyone else was downstairs on the first floor. Even if he pounded on the door, no one would hear a thing.

Once the banquet downstairs ended and her father noticed her absence, he'd come looking.

It was just a matter of riding out a few hours in the same space as someone she didn't exactly care for.

Kristian slipped his phone back into his pocket and started searching the room. Freya joined him. No signal meant something was jamming it.
