Chapter 1168 summary
In Elbaf, villagers praise the giants' reliability after Harald's efforts boost global trade in Elbaf cedar and seafood. Harald addresses the cheering crowd about building sightseeing ships once Elbaf joins as a member nation, stressing mutual respect among races. He tells a bearded man that meeting Ida changed his views away from military power. Harald visits Ida's grave, then kneels before a curly-haired child inside a house and reflects on the changes. In memories, Harald and Ida discuss discarding old warrior traditions so children can study. Harald refuses to accept cultural barriers to their marriage, while Ida urges him to cherish their ways. Ida holds his hand and reassures him of her feelings as they plan to travel the wider world together, with a young Loki crying nearby.
