Book 15: Chapter 11
“Miss Freya.”
“What’s wrong? Somebody here? If it’s Nara, tell her that I’m not here.”
Freya shut her notebook, swept it up and prepared to flee, but then Gerald stopped her: “It is not Miss Nara but Mr. Castell.”
“Castell? He’s inferior to Nara.” Freya rubbed her face, and then placed her notebook back down on the table while simultaneously sitting back in her chair. She took in a deep breath to ensure she had the right expression, and then said, “Let Castell in. I hope he doesn’t bring me something worse than this headache I’ve already got. The dragon that has just come is putting me on edge enough. With Castell coming now, it’s just making matters worse.”
“I, on the other hand, do not think that Mr. Castell is a bad individual…”
“Yes, he’s not a bad individual, but he only ever brings bad news, so I’m hardly willing to see him. I wouldn’t be so poor right now had it not been for the last few things he did. I can’t shake off the feeling there’s definitely something coming after the dragon came back, but she didn’t bring me anything. I guess I will have to wait for Onii-sama to come back.”
Just as Castell paid a lot of attention to Freya and was full of praise for her, Freya was just as nervous around him and vigilant of him. Technically, Castell spearheaded the faction that attacked His Majesty’s Luna and Freya. Thus, from Freya’s perspective, Castell was once an enemy who wanted her dead.
Gerald pivoted and pulled the door open. Castell wore his usual smile as he placed his hat onto the coat rack by the side. He gave Freya a smile before greeting her: “Hello, Miss Freya, long-time no see.”
Freya responded with a smile: “Indeed. According to what I know, you should be at Hilles City. I never imagined you had the time to quickly make another trip back here. There is nothing to bother you with here this time. Are you here for a vacation? I think the hot springs at Troy City would be better.”
