Book 19: Chapter 12
“Onii-sama, I am sorry to disturb you so early in the morning.”
Luna placed the towel in her hand down and then backed off to one side. She was wiping Troy’s body down, but Freya suddenly came in.
Troy nodded: “It’s all right, Freya. Is there something important?”
“Yes. This is a letter from Ikana. There should have been no need to come see you so early, but after thinking about the youngster from yesterday, I believe the letter will come in useful.”
Troy’s expression changed for the worse. Luna softy giggled: “Your Majesty, I, too, really like the four Princesses; however, I do not think the child would not do that to Liu Yue. After all, there are no ulterior motives in his eyes. Additionally, he merely wanted you to help. It must be a misunderstanding. I think you will damage your title as the Hero King if you kill a young man due to a misunderstanding.”
Freya’s gaze on Troy was aimed at comforting him: “I concur. The boy does not look as though he is someone bold enough to try such a thing. That being said, I do not mind how you deal with him. If you wish to kill him, it is unlikely anyone will know.”
Luna indirectly responded, “It is not true that no one will know. We know. While we will not say anything, would you not regret it afterwards? If you will not regret it, I think you are no longer the Troy that I know.”
“Miss Luna, while it is a fact that you have a good relationship with Onii-sama, do you not think you have crossed the line? Onii-sama has never changed. He is merely doing what he should do in his position. As his personal servant, should you not avoid getting involved with so much?”
With a calm smile, Luna elaborated, “Your Majesty, if I have stepped out of line, I hope you can forgive me. With that said, I do not think killing in your daughters’ presence is by any means a good method of protecting them.”
