Book 14: Chapter 10
“I know now,” Freya remarked .
Gerald blankly looked at Freya, who seemed to be back to her old self. He placed the cup in his hand down and smiled cheerfully. He said, “I am sure you comprehend it. Miss Freya, have you understood now?”
“I have no choice but to accept my most beloved Onii-sama’s departure. As Princess Lucia said, Onii-sama may never be able to return, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have him. Think about it: Tanya reminded me yesterday. She’d rather die searching for Onii-sama, but I can’t. I can search for him, though. I’m sure that everybody misses him and loves him.”
Gerald was perplexed. She seemed to be in high spirits again, but her gaze had a completely different light to what it had in the past. If Freya was considered confident in the past, insanity was holding her together then.
Freya didn’t care about Gerald’s reaction; instead, she excitedly waved her hands and loudly said, “I know now. I know now. I slept in Onii-sama’s room yesterday and dreamt of him. I could feel as though he was by my side. I know where Onii-sama is now. Onii-sama is right by our sides in our hearts. As long as we think of him, we’ll be able to see him. Onii-sama isn’t dead. He’s still by our sides. Except, we need to make sure that people can remember him at any given moment. They need to be able to recall the warrior who gave up everything he had for us, the North and the people of Troy City.”
Gerald nodded, “Yes. That is right. His Majesty is a very, very noble person. He will forever remain in our hearts, and we will definitely pass down his legacy. He may not have directly led us, but he founded the entire North.”
Freya’s voice sounded excited. Her face was flush red with excitement. She looked Gerald and responded in a loud voice: “Correct. Correct. That’s exactly it. That’s why I need to get everybody to remember my Onii-sama. Everybody should remember my Oni-sama, from Gallo Mountain in the North down to the Grand Canyon, and from the plains of the South to Duargana. Everybody should remember my Onii-sama. Every living organism must look up to his face!! Therefore, I need a statue. A shiny golden statue, like a lighthouse, built in the North. This is culture and a noble shore. Everybody into culture should be attracted by the lighthouse. Everybody should look at him. He is a symbol of greatness and this world’s greatness.”
“A statue? Mm, that could work. Indeed, we should have a statue of His Majesty. We should have it in the palace, and we should construct a water fountain. We can build it in the centre of the market, and use His Majesty’s statue.”
It wasn’t anything over the top, since it was normal to have a statue of a great monarch constructed. Troy Galadriel Rosvenor was the ruler of the entire North and left his mark on this world. He was at the forefront of the attack of the anthropoids in the South and stopped the waves of anthropoids.
