Freya stiffened at those words, everything seeming to go still within the room. The drama kept playing, creating the only noise in the room. She couldn't believe what she had heard.
Someone had poisoned Elise and caused her to lose her fertility?! She couldn't have imagined what Elise went through during that time.
Especially to a beastwoman brought up on the importance of her fertility and birthing abilities. The bear beastwoman must've been in such gut-wrenching pain and then to make matters worse, her own clan had basically turned on her when she needed their support the most.
Saying it was a slap to the face was clearly an understatement.
Honestly, the whole thing was quite shocking. But what made it even more shocking was that someone had done this to Elise. To whom Freya saw as a great person. Undeserving of such a tragedy.
