Chapter 153: Sending a Letter
"You don't need to worry about my safety. Besides, I won't be going there alone." Princess Danielle smugly said as she snapped her fingers.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four men dressed in red and gold armor suddenly appeared behind her.
Fredrinn narrowed his eyes when he saw them. With his battle scouter, he realized that all four of them were at the 10th Layer of the Nascent Soul realm.
"These four are my personal bodyguards. They have been with me since I was a child. It was also because of them that I survived the recent assassination attempt. Don't be surprised, all of them are-"
"At the 10th Layer of the Nascent Soul realm. Is that what you want to say?" Fredrinn muttered.
His words surprised the princess. Even the four royal bodyguards didn't expect that he would see through their cultivation with just a glance.
"As expected of my future husband. I knew you would sense their cultivation." Princess Danielle pretended to be calm and forced out a smile.
Fredrinn's mouth twitched. "Your Highness, you should be careful with your words. You are a single lady. Your reputation might be damaged if someone heard you just then." He reminded her in a stern voice.
"Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll listen to you." Princess Danielle linked arms with him and nodded obediently.
Seeing her acting like this, Fredrinn sighed with a defeated look. He gave up on persuading her. She was just too formidable with her advances that it embarrassed a modern man like him.
"Fine. I'll bring you with me, but you have to follow my instructions once you're there. If you disobey me even once, I'll send you back here." Fredrinn could only compromise with her. The good thing was that she brought four capable warriors. They would be useful to his missions.
Princess Danielle's eyes flashed with excitement. "Of course! I'm at your beck and call Black Flame General!" She said as she gave him a standard military salute.
Her enthusiasm made Fredrinn chuckle. 'Will she still be this happy when she experiences the brutality of war?' He thought. He didn't know why this woman insisted on going to the battlefield. Most women her age would choose to stay at home to play music or study literature. Her personality was definitely unique.
Later that afternoon, Fredrinn bid farewell to the commander and the others. The Left Minister was no longer there. He went back to the capital to deal with Kris Vone's issue. He didn't even have the time to say goodbye to the princess since the situation was quite urgent. After all, this matter was related to one of the supreme households.
After bidding everyone farewell, Fredrinn's small group returned to the Green Lake Valley. The route was already cleared so they didn't encounter any danger along the way. There were only less than a hundred of them in the group so it only took them a few days to arrive at the valley.
At this moment, the soldiers were busy constructing a defensive wall on top of the two hills.
Fredrinn had his men upgrade the defenses in case the Blue Sky Kingdom would send an army to reclaim the valley.
The moment they arrived, the soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing and lined up neatly in front of Fredrinn, forming a small path for them to cross. "Welcome back, Black Flame General!"
"Welcome back, Black Flame General!"
Their loud sonorous voice echoed across the valley.
Fredrinn felt a bit embarrassed by his new title, but he was also proud. He was finally a General!
He felt like he needed to say something in this situation. He urged his mount to walk ahead. With his head held high, he shouted. "Everyone, it has been tough for us! Throughout the battles we fought, we lost many friends, brothers, companions, and comrades… However, we managed to conquer Blood Burn Hill and the Green Lake Valley! We must…"
"…For the prosperity of the Star Wind Kingdom!"
"For the prosperity of the Star Wind Kingdom!"
Staring at the domineering figure surrounded by hot-blooded soldiers, Princess Danielle fell even more deeply in love with him.
In the evening, Fredrinn wrote a letter to his family, telling them about his experiences on the battlefield. He also expressed his longing for them in the letter. He wanted to see his daughter, Avariel, and his fiancée, Daphne. Of course, he didn't forget to mention the part about him being promoted to General. He wondered how his parents would react if they read the letter.
After writing the final sentence, Fredrinn stared at the letter and smiled. He then rolled it and sealed it with wax before stamping it with his exclusive stamp.
Fredrinn stepped out of his tent and summoned the Soaring Red-Eyed Eagles with a bird-like whistle.
The two birds descended from the sky and landed before him. They affectionately rubbed their heads on his body while emitting soft cawing sounds.
"I want you guys to deliver this letter to the estate. Make sure that it reaches my father's hand." Fredrinn muttered as he rubbed their heads.
He then slid the letter into the special container tied to one of the eagle's legs.
Just as he was about to send them off, he suddenly remembered something.
He took out an item from his storage space and put it inside the container together with the letter. It was the jade bracelet he got from an old man some time ago.
"Go!" Fredrinn sent them off. With the two of them delivering his letter, it would reduce the risk of being attacked by other aerial magical beasts.
The eagles soared into the sky and soon vanished.
Fredrinn looked away from the clouds and sighed. "I wonder when my mother would give birth. I want to see my little sister." Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|-NovelBin.net
In his letter, he suggested what name they should give to his sister.
"Gwenaelle…" The owner of the bracelet wanted to give that name to his daughter. Fredrinn liked the name so he wanted his sister to have it. It was also to honor the memory of the bracelet owner's unborn child.
