Book 8: Chapter 39
“Please wait a moment.”
Freya stood in the middle of the path to block off the group of people walked over.
She narrowed her eyes to look at the man in a formal robe before her and said, “Mr Castell, has your injury healed? It has only been three days. You sure do heal fast.”
Castell wasn’t as dignified as he was back then, and his gaze didn’t contain as much arrogance as it once did. To the contrary, his eyes looked slightly lifeless. He looked down. His formal robe, which previously fit him, was now empty, making him appear similar to a comical scarecrow in the field.
He smiled. The people following behind him were mostly Valkyries, as well as the Empress, herself. Freya looked at the Empress with her eyes narrowed. Elizabeth evidently looked a lot more haggard. The Prince has been unconscious for the last two days and only just woken up. He was currently eating, and Freya was in charge of guarding the door.
Freya didn’t salute Elizabeth when she saw her this time.
“Miss Freya, Her Majesty wishes to see His Majesty. If possible, please go in and notify His Majesty.”
Castell initially waited for Freya to give way, but Freya just stood there and forbade anyone from passing. The Empress didn’t force her way past. Castell had no choice, but to look at Freya and stubbornly try to convince her. Normally it would be the Empress who would tell Freya to get out of the way. However, Freya had no intention of giving way. Luna had just died, so he didn’t dare to come into conflict with the Prince’s people when he’s the Empress’ personal attendant. The Prince’s relationship with the Empress’ was currently extremely tense. When the funeral was held, Freya attended on behalf of the Prince. At the funeral, Freya kicked Alice’s tombstone, and then turned around and left. Now that the Prince had woken up, he was most likely going to do the same thing. If they come into conflict with each other now, the Prince and the Empress’s relationship will be broken for good.
“Ah, I know. However, His Majesty is still unwell, so please forgive him for not accepting visitors.”
