1272: Chapter 58: The First eting of the Two 1272: Chapter 58: The First eting of the Two “Yes, that would indeed make your father more distressed,” Pannis nodded.
“But you couldn’t just pretend to know nothing and continue your prior actions.
Hmm, I understand now, you confronted Odin.”
“It wasn’t that severe, I just had a deep conversation with father, shared my thoughts about him and my longing for mother with him candidly.
He did the sa, revealing his own thoughts to , and it turned out to be similar to what I had guessed,” Freya said.
“I let him know that I was aware of how much he loved , and that my visits to see mother weren’t because he wasn’t doing enough, but simply because I missed mother and wanted to spend more ti with her.
After that, things improved a lot, I think he felt less pressured too.”
“You should have done this earlier.
If you hadn’t, neither of you would have suppressed your feelings for years,” Pannis said with a bitter smile.
“That goes to show how detrintal a non-transparent personality can be.”
“And aren’t you the sa?
My sisters might have the right to say that about , but you certainly don’t,” Freya stared at Pannis until he made a gesture of surrender.
Then she smiled contentedly and said, “From then on, until I was sixteen and taken as an apprentice by a teacher, I kept up a routine of visiting here every two to three days.
I knew the paths here even better than my own backyard at ho.
When I first started coming here, I was still very young, simply playing beside my mother.
The ga I loved most involved climbing up my mother’s legs to her shoulders, where I’d sit and watch the surroundings while talking with her.
Hmm, back then I was just an ordinary person, not even a professional.
It was quite a struggle to climb, and I’d often fall midway, but for so reason, I really liked that ga and felt very happy playing it.”
“Falling…
down?” Pannis glanced at the height of the statue and grimaced without comnting.
The cetery statues weren’t very tall, topping out at five ters including their bases, and they were surrounded by soft land on three sides.
A fall mid-way for an adult wouldn’t be unbearably painful, but for an eight-year-old child, a fall could feel very painful.
A child who had learned from such an experience would normally not attempt it a second ti, which showed just how persistent young Freya was about this ga.
“No, it wasn’t very painful, I think it was okay,” Freya, seeing what Pannis was thinking, shook her head and said: “I know my mother was protecting , so each ti I fell, it was safe.
I hardly ever got hurt from the falls, and I never suffered any injuries.
Beside my mother, I didn’t need to worry about getting hurt.”
“Perhaps,” Pannis looked up at the statue, which seed to radiate a loving gaze, and felt what must have been Freya’s mother’s endless maternal love.
He could only nod in agreent, “I can imagine, she was a good mother.”
“Of course, she was the best mother,” Freya said without hesitation.
“By my mother’s side, I was not only safe but also lucky.”
“Lucky?” Pannis asked curiously.
“What happened?”
“You couldn’t possibly imagine,” the princess smiled mysteriously, feeling quite nostalgic as she said, “When I was nine years old, I t soone nearby.
It was our first eting, and I even suspect that it was mother who guided to that person.”
“The year you were nine?
t soone?” Pannis stroked his chin, pondering for a mont before probing, “It can’t be such a coincidence, was it…
Catherine?
I haven’t heard her ntion it, though.”
“Of course, because that was our little secret,” Freya said with a childlike pride.
“What did you think, that I just randomly joined an adventure team a few years ago?
Even if I wanted to join, would Catherine really let so mysterious stranger join just like that?”
Pannis didn’t speak, but just pointed to his nose.
“You’re the exception,” said the princess irritably, “Besides, you only joined after they unanimously approved your character following the battle at Crying Cave.
Hey, I don’t believe you’re not doing this on purpose.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll stop causing trouble,” Pannis scratched his head, “It was indeed a bit strange before, but now I understand.
Did you all et here from that ti?
But why did she co here, her parents…
Oh, I see, her grandfather was entitled to be buried here, though there is no body.”
“Yes, that day she ca to visit her grandfather, just passing by.
At that ti, I was resting on my mother’s legs asleep.
We wouldn’t have t each other, but in my dream, I just heard my mother calling my na, answered her, and woke up imdiately,” Freya drifted into her mories and spoke leisurely, “She was over a year older than , we were both still children.
We found it odd that each of us ca here on our own, so we started talking.
You know, though I often saw so children willing to play with , those children actually appeared with so tasks in tow.”
“I understand, the tasks given by their parents,” Pannis nodded, “And Catherine didn’t have those tasks.
Hm?
Did she know who you were at that ti?”
“What do you think?” Freya patted her mother’s leg, “Even if she didn’t know the first or second ti, how could she not know after seeing here several tis?”
“Right, that was a stupid question,” Pannis scratched his head, “So, you beca friends?”
“Yes, during that period we often t here to talk, and she would join in chatting with my mom, and I would accompany her to visit her grandfather,” Freya said with a smile, “Until she turned fifteen and gradually started to venture out of the city, our etings beca less frequent.
Hehe, this history, probably even Lina and Vivian don’t know, it’s always been our little secret.”
“Oh no, now I know too,” Pannis made a scared expression, stepping back two steps, “You’re not going to want to silence , are you?”
“I want to silence you right now,” Freya glared fiercely at the mischievous Pannis, then rubbed against her mother’s leg again before reluctantly letting go of the statue’s leg, walking over to stand next to Pannis and looking up at her mother’s statue, “All these years, whenever sothing important happens or my emotions are disturbed, whether happy or unhappy, I would co here to talk to my mom, share my thoughts with her, and then I could face everything with a calm mind.”
Pannis closed his mouth, saying nothing in response.
Freya, unsurprised by Pannis’s reaction, just smiled and glanced at him, saying, “Today, I ca here again.”
