After so ti had passed, Freya slowly opened her eyes. There was nothing around, but candles used at sunset. In front of her was a stone wall of an ordinary room. She had a faint fragrant on her. She was covered with a soft piece of cloth. She sat up at a lost for what to do. She looked at the fla on the candle on the bedside table.
It was as though nothing happened. Actually, not even she knew what happened. It wasnt until a while later when she slowly regained her conscious that she figured out what happened.
I should be naked in a rubbish bin right now. How am I here?
She shook her head and tossed those problems to the back of her mind. Enraged, she clenched her teeth as she felt angry at herself for falling for such a sinister plot. She fell for it as soon as she saw this. If she had kept calm then this wouldnt have happened.
She had to hurry back now. Her brother was in trouble. Big trouble. There was the Valkyries box. Her secret activities were discovered. Only one Valkyrie knew what she was investigating, and that was Alice. Frankly, she didnt interact much with Alice, and she admittedly never suspected her. But if she was the mastermind then her brother was in danger. If Alice attacked him when he was weak on a full-moon night, then there she basically had a free kill.
I have to head back. I have to head back to save my brother. Hes my only family in this world, though technically speaking, he isnt my family mber. Hes the only person who treats nicely in the entire world. When I was living in the world where I was treated as a tool and a toy, he was the only one who brought honey cherry tomatoes.
I thought it was just a deal at first, but my brother genuinely treated well as if Im his biological sister. Ive forgotten when I started genuinely working for the royal family. All I wanted was to give her best for my brothers smile. All that I wanted was my brothers praise.
I will never forget the warmth of my brothers palm transferred to my head, and the warmth that touched my heart. Im willing to give up anything for my brother. I dont care in the least if anything was done to just now. All thats on my mind is rushing back to her brothers side. If death was what awaits , then I want to die holding my brothers hand tightly.
Freya struggled to get up. Her two legs imdiately gave in. Had it not been for her being able to lean onto the bedside cupboard in ti, she wouldve fell to the ground. The cup of water on the cupboard dropped to the ground, thereby shattering it to pieces.
She heard footsteps from outside that quickly stopped. The person who approached seed to hesitate for a second before gently knocking on the door. In a calm and polite voice, he asked, Umm Miss? Are you up? Can I co in? Are you hurt anywhere?
Freya desperately tried to stand up and panted as she hostilely threatened, Co in and Ill kill you.
The individual outside paused for a mont, and then hopelessly told her, You dont have to react that way. I was the one who saved you from a group of tramps No, no, Im not asking for any repaynts, nor do I intend to make you do anything. I just want to know how youre feeling. If youve recovered, Ill send you ho.
Freya froze for a mont. She never expected him to be so polite. He picked up an unconscious girl that was nude and didnt violate her in any way. Instead, he helped her wash and get her clean clothes; plus, he didnt get angry at her when she threatened him. It would appear that she t a good person.
Freya toned down her voice, Ah Sorry. Please co in. I apologise for misunderstanding you.
Its nothing. But may I ask why you passed out? If you were set up by sobody, please notify the guards.
He let out a breath of relief then hesitated for a mont before pushing the door open. As he spoke, he poked his head in. He got a shock when he saw Freya half-kneeling on the ground, so he quickly rushed over to help her up, You have not yet recovered, have you? Please stay calm. It is fine for you to rest here for the night. Ah, you need not worry. I will not be ho at night. I am a guard of the city. I need to go on patrols.
Freya looked at the young mans blue eyes and light-blonde hair, Take to the palace now. Theres no ti to waste Take to the palace.
The young man had a very fresh appearance. Though he wasnt as good looking as her brother, he certainly wasnt ugly. You wouldnt be able to tell that he was a guard. His pair of blue eyes was clear as the sky and contained the naivety of a young man. He wasnt old. He had probably just beco an adult, yet was still the sa as a child.
The palace?!
She frightened him. He looked at Freya stupefied and stuttered, The palace The palace is not so place we can co and go from as we please Carelessly entering the palace will get you killed. Are you a maid in the palace or a lady-in-waiting? Do you have any proof on you?
Im His Majestys younger sister!
Gerald was shocked all right. He never thought the young girl he rescued when he went out to buy so stuff was His Majestys younger sister. The only ti hed seen His Majesty was when Her Majesty returned to the Royal Capital. He was the guy riding at the front. Nevertheless, he was just a young man who just beca a guard. The palace was comparable to a faraway dream for him. Now, however, the younger sister of the one and only man whos the successor to the throne and only Crown Prince was lying on his bed? Whod believe that?!
I realise that you might not believe , and I dont have hopes that you do. You just need to take to the palace. Hurry! If were late, youll be in trouble, too!
Gerald was genuinely scared out his skin by the anxious and serious look on the girl. He looked at the young girl in front of him and in a muddled manner replied, But but the palace is currently on high alert An explosion apparently ca from inside. Thats why I have to go on patrol at night, as wellTheres no way we can enter the palace at this ti
You just need to take there!! What are you still rambling about when sothing so serious has happened?! Take there! Im begging you! Hurry! Onii-sama is in danger! He really is in danger!!
Ah!! Ah! Okay! Dont cry! Dont cry!! Ill take you to the palace now! Dont cry! Ill take you there right now!
Gerald Surock, who just beca a guard in the Royal Capital, never imagined this would happen.
Originally, he just wanted to be a guard in the Royal Capital to catch and punish minor thieves to ensure the people have a safe place to live, then get married with an ordinary girl, have his own child and live his days in peace. That was his idea of a happy life.
The pointy gold spire was too far away to him. The thought had never crossed his mind, either. It wasnt his world. The only thing he could do was look at the sun shine on the golden words Long live Your Majesty when the sun went down on his daily patrols.
Never did it cross his mind that he would get to marvel at the grandiose Royal Palace underneath the spire after a trip to buy so snacks
