Chapter 377 Farewell to Freya

"Your Majesty the King, why do you have time to come to me today?"

Looking at the long-lost young girl in front of him and listening to her clear and melodious voice, Richard's lips slightly raised. He gently handed the cup in his hand to the slave standing behind him and said: "My dear Freya , because I missed you, so I came, regardless of whether I have time or not."

"Then according to what you said, you haven't thought about me in the past two years, so you let me live with a few slaves in this empty manor and never came to see me." Freya She said, her eyes drooping, covering up the gloom and loneliness underneath.

Hearing what Freya said, Richard suddenly realized that he had been neglecting the princess who had followed him to a foreign land alone for the sake of the motherland. Looking at Freya, who was obviously a little thin, he suddenly felt heartbroken. stand up.

"That's all in the past, Freya." Richard said, he stood up, hugged the girl in front of him into his arms, feeling the slightly trembling softness in his arms, he paused, and said: "From today From now on, I will come to see you often."

"Well..." Faced with Richard's promise, Freya just responded softly. She was no longer the inexperienced girl. She knew very well in her heart that a promise from a king like this was the most unreasonable thing. valuable.

Richard didn't know what the beautiful woman in his arms was thinking, they hugged for a while, and then let go, Richard looked at the first woman in his life, and said: "Actually, I came here to marry you The news about the Principality of Lasik will be passed on to you."

"What?" Freya was startled, she tightened her hands around Richard's waist, and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing Freya's gaffe, Richard had no intention of showing off. He organized his words and said, "A civil war broke out in the Principality of Lasik. Your father's army was defeated by the rebels. It is estimated that they are still trapped. In the capital city of Rostas."

Hearing this, Freya's face turned pale. She let go of Richard's hand at the waist, and her soles went limp, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Richard had quick eyesight and hands to support her in time.Freya, who was supported, seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. She suddenly grabbed Richard's hands tightly, stared at Richard, and begged: "Your Majesty, please send troops to save my father, as long as You are willing to send troops, let me do anything."

Freya's pleading did not move Richard. He looked at the girl who was holding him tightly, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and said: "But, my dear Freya, you have to remember your current situation. The whole person belongs to me, and you can only agree to whatever I want you to do.”

"..." Freya was silent. What Richard said was the truth. She was now Richard's mistress and was also dependent on Richard. She could not refuse anything Richard asked her to do.

Seeing her silence, Richard smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair, and said, "Actually, your father has sent someone to ask me for help, asking me to send troops for support, but I didn't agree immediately, nor did I refuse. I'm hesitating..."

At this point, Richard stopped talking. Freya was very smart. She immediately understood what Richard meant and said, "Are you waiting for a suitable reason? As long as my father If the stakes given are high enough, you will immediately send troops."

"No, no, no." Richard shook his head, and he continued: "My dear Freya, if you want me to send troops for rescue, you have to cooperate with me and execute the plan I have set."

"What plan?" Freya asked puzzled.

Facing Freya's inquiry, Richard suddenly remained silent. He let go of the princess's hand and sat back on his seat. Under Freya's anxious eyes, he slowly took the hand of the servant. He took a sip of the sweet water, and after he swallowed it, he smiled slightly and said, "It's okay to send troops to rescue your father, but I don't want him to continue to sit in the position of Grand Duke Lasik. I want you Replace him and become the Grand Duchess of Lasik Duchy."

"What?!" Freya was so startled by Richard's words that she took a few steps back and cried out. Her beautiful eyes were full of shock and hesitation.

"You heard me right, my dear Freya." The girl's reaction was within Richard's expectation. He took another sip of clear water and swallowed the sweet and cool liquid, and suddenly found that the water here seemed to be more The water in Ippolito Palace was even sweeter. He nodded, then handed the cup to the servant behind him, and continued: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can go back tomorrow and promise your father's envoy, you Think about it carefully."

After saying that, he stood up from the chair, stretched, and walked outside the house. When he reached the door, Freya was still standing there, as if she was struggling with Richard's words. He glanced at her vaguely, shook his head, and walked out.

Richard didn't understand the entanglement in Freya's heart. On the one hand, the father who gave birth to her and raised her and focused his love on her alone; She had to take her place and oust her father, but if she didn't, there was a good chance that his father would die at the hands of the rebels.

Regardless of Freya's entanglement, after Richard walked out of the house, he looked up at the sky, which was still a little pale, but his stomach just happened to groan at this moment. He scratched his head and looked at the man who had been following him The guard ordered a few words, and the other party turned and left, leaving Richard alone among the flowers.

This field of flowers does not seem to exist in Richard's impression. Not only this field of flowers, but also many flowers and plants are planted around the manor. Standing here, taking a deep breath, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air It poured into his nasal cavity, making him squint his eyes and feel it carefully.

At the same time, he also remembered the time when he and Freya met back then. At that time, he had just conquered the Republic of Cunya and forced the Principality of Lasik to cede land and pay compensation to marry his daughter. After Freya brought her back to Nord City, she was obsessed with the garden in Ippolito Palace all day long. Now it seems that all the flowers and plants in this garden were planted by Freya herself.

He bent down, gently picked a red flower, put it under his nose and sniffed, a strong floral fragrance filled his nasal cavity, he didn't know the name of this flower, but it didn't hinder him Enjoy the scent of flowers.

Perhaps this kind of life is suitable for Freya.Richard suddenly had such a thought in his heart. He looked at the bright flower in his hand. Freya's future is just like this flower. With the road given by Richard, I am afraid that she will never have the opportunity to do what she likes to do carefree like this.

　Suddenly I felt a little sad for Freya
