Chapter 52

Freya glanced behind her with a charming smile . She said, “All right, then, according to our plan, the nobles and financial groups will all participate in your coronation ceremony . Also, Mr . Alex will supply the food . Onii-sama, do you have any special requests for your crown? Of course, even if you said ‘yes’, it would still be too late . ”



I shook my head: “I don’t care how the crown looks, since I don’t intend to wear it for very long . I’m fine as long as it isn’t heavy . ”

The two of us were walking in the corridor . It was an afternoon where we had no work, which was very rare . The bright sun outside appeared as if it could melt our glass panes . The passageway connected two towers . On both sides of the passageway were glass panes . If you looked down below, you’d see flowers competing with each other . Despite looking through a glass pane, you could still seemingly smell the scent from below, where the sun shone down on brightly .

Freya noticed me looking outside . She giggled: “Would you agree it is very beautiful, Onii-sama? It is tough to imagine, right? You would see such a beautiful flower garden if you looked down outside your room in humanity’s lands . Empress Elizabeth personally prepared that flower garden for you . It is just that you rarely go down there to check it out . However, even if you did, those flowers are not blooming for you, but these flowers are blooming for you . ”

I softly chuckled: “I never thought such bright flowers would sprout from the land I personally destroyed . I never imagined this day would come, either . Not only have the flowers bloomed, but haven’t the flowers by my side bloomed, too?”

Freya lingered . She titled her head in puzzlement . Wearing a smile, I asked, “Freya, you’ve grown, haven’t you? You’ll be an adult in a few years’ time . Mommy Elizabeth gave birth to me at your age . Freya, do you have somebody you like?”

Head still angled, Freya smiled and asked, “Somebody I like? Do you still not know who I like, Onii-sama? I think this should just be buried forever . Are you telling me you want to put it out there? I am very sorry, Onii-sama, but I am genuinely afraid of Miss Nier . Genuinely . ”

I scratched my nose: “No, that’s not what I meant . What I meant was do you have somebody you fancy? For example, you look as though you had fun chatting with Alex . ”



I didn’t look outside because I liked looking at the flowers below . It was just that I was a little embarrassed to look at Freya .

Freya narrowed her eyes, and then revealed a mischievous smile . She swiftly wrapped her arm around mine, and then pinched my face . With a smile, she said, “What is the matter, Onii-sama? Are you a jealous right now? Did I not do it for what we initially discussed? Still, I am quite happy . ”

“Not jealous but I just felt you would eventually get married . I was thinking about when you’d get married and who you’d marry . To be honest, I can only think of letting you marry somebody I know, and he must really like you . That’s why there are only two people I can think of . One is Alex and the other is Gerald . ”

I scratched my head: “Honestly, I might be thinking about the lives of others, since my own life has been decided . Freya, I never thought about it before, but we will definitely live here in the future; hence, I suddenly thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to get married here . ”

Freya shook her head . With a smile, she replied, “Frankly, you are thinking too much . I do not even have plans to get married . In my opinion, neither of the two you suggested are good candidates for marriage, as I do not have any feelings for them . Alex and I have only met twice, and the naïve boy is not my cup of tea . I prefer somebody more mature . As for Gerald, sorry, Onii-sama, but I have no feelings for that bodyguard . Our communication is truly very good . ”

“Well, Nier hated me initially . ”

“But Gerald does not possess your shameless character . ”



“Was I initially that clingy toward Nier?!”

Freya grinned: “No, what I meant was you did not get angry no matter how Nier spoke to you . I genuinely admire that sort of shameless technique . If you did not use that method, Miss Nier, I mean, the Royal Princess would not have remembered you, right? The same goes for Gerald . Gerald is just a bodyguard; he is not suitable as a lover . ”


“What’s on your mind, then?”

Freya shook her head . She touched her hair then smiled: “If I have somebody I love, why must I get married? Onii-sama, you would not marry somebody you do not love, would you? Thus, I will not get married unless there is a second person who can capture my heart . Otherwise, never, Onii-sama . I do not care if I never get married, either, for I am always by the side of the man I like . That is enough to me . So then, Onii-sa-”

“Your Highness!!”

I got attacked from behind before Freya could finish . Lucia leapt onto my back and wrapped their legs around my waist . I heard her cheerful voice and felt her familiar warmth at the side of my face . She kissed the side of my face and cheerfully exclaimed, “Your Highness, the weather outside is terrific . It reminds me of Duargana . I asked Queen Vyvyan to look after the girls, so let’s go out for a stroll . We’ll go for a stroll in the flower garden first; then, we’ll go to the market! I haven’t played around in the markets yet!”

“Okay, okay, okay,” I responded .

I grabbed Lucia’s hand with a smile . Lucia dexterously hopped off my back . The North was a foreign place to her, as she was unwell upon arriving in the North; then, she took care of the girls the entire time . She never had time to go outside for a spin . The same went for Nier . Nier didn’t seem interested in anything besides the flower garden, though .

I decided to take Lucia out for the afternoon: “We won’t be going for just an hour this time, though . ”

Lucia grabbed hold of my hand . I looked at Freya . Freya made a goodbye hand gesture . I smiled, and then said, “Let’s go then, Lucia . If you want to play for the entire afternoon, then let’s play all afternoon . ”

Freya watched her brother leave from behind and sighed . She then turned around to look at Gerald, who was leaning on the glass pane of the corridor and looking down to satisfy his interest .   She called out to him and he looked over to her . He quickly jogged over to her side .

Freya ignored him and looked forward with a strange smile . She said, “Onii-sama just asked if I have any plans to get married . He also suggested two candidates . One was Alex, and the other was you . ”

“So… what is your opinion?”

“My opinion is I choose neither . ”

Gerald scratched his face and looked away due to embarrassment . In a soft voice, he said, “Truthfully… I hope you can choose one…”

“I won’t . The man I like is right by my side . I will not choose another . It does not matter to me that I have to be a sister and cannot be his wife . Moreover, the North still needs me . I cannot abandon the North due to pregnancy, so I will not get married . ”

“So, you are not getting married for a greater cause?”

“And for my Onii-sama . ”

Freya turned away and didn’t look at Gerald again . She looked ahead with a serious expression . In spite of being a child in her teens, the stern look of hers resembled an adult’s .

Gerald went silent for a short moment . and then rubbed his face . From the bottom of his heart, he said, “That is fine, Miss Freya . ”

Freya froze for a brief moment . She then turned her head to look at Gerald with a smile . She asked, “What are you talking about? Did something happen to me?”

“No . What I wanted to say was… I am your bodyguard… Since you have chosen to protect the greater cause and your Onii-sama, I shall protect you . Since you are not willing to marry, I shall stay by your side forever, because you need somebody to protect you!”
