Book 7: Chapter 13
“Your majesty, I have not seen you when I visited these days. You finally have time now.”
I looked at the envoy from Socina City blocking my door and scratched my head very awkwardly. I frankly really don’t want to see him right now even though I quite liked him initially. It’s just that the things I’ve been doing recently have basically been stamping on his owner’s foot so I felt a little guilty.
Freya looked at him with an impartial smile and explained: “Did I not tell you? His majesty took a few days break due to just getting married. It would not be fair on his majesty or the princess for him to immediately return to work upon getting married. Also, it is not polite to be blocking the door to his majesty’s office. His highness is not slacking. If you have business with him, just make an appointment with his majesty. There is no need for you to behave like this. It is like you have to block the door to see his majesty when he is not involving himself with politics. What would her majesty and her highness think if they suddenly came here and saw this scene? You behaviour has disappointed me greatly.”
“I apologise. I am very sorry. I am very sorry, your majesty. I failed to think this through. I hope I have not caused you trouble.”
He made a deep bow then urgently raised his head and asked: “But should we continue with our discussion where we left off half-way through? Have you received any other requests to meet with you from other envoys?”
Freya looked at the envoy and asked him with a smile before I could speak: “Ara, you sure catch news quickly. Your guess is correct. His majesty is going to see that envoy now. How strange. Why has Socina City sent two envoys here at once? Could it be that Socina City requires two jobs from his majesty?”
We all know what’s going on here. Freya was just pretending to be ignorant since she purposely met the two of them privately at different times, and arranged for them to stay far away from each other.
They shouldn’t have run into each other. But they must have. That would explain why he came here to see me urgently.
The envoy waved his hand to deny it. He looked at me anxiously and replied: “No… it should be for the same thing, just a different client. Your majesty, could you have agreed to their request?”
