Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 279 15

Princess Freya froze after hearing Queen Helena's question. She was permitted to tell her mother everything about Ziel except his past before he was reincarnated. But Princess Freya is afraid to explain Ziel's love relationship because it is very complicated and involves many girls around him. As a woman, her mother would be angry and disappointed after hearing that she shared Ziel with another woman.

Queen Helena knew about Kalya and had met her, even if only briefly. She had also heard of her identity as a Princess of the Elven Kingdom and her reason for staying in the castle from Princess Freya.

But after hearing her daughter's explanation about Ziel and his close relationship with several girls, including Kalya, Queen Helena couldn't help but become suspicious and felt that the reason for Kalya staying in the castle was not that simple. Even though her assumption was baseless because Ziel and Kalya had quite a significant age difference, her intuition as a woman told her that it wasn't a problem. She believed they had a particular relationship.

Queen Helena became worried about her daughter. That's because Kalya's face is too beautiful to be real. She was like a goddess who shouldn't exist on the Clorius continent. Queen Helena feared that her daughter would have to compete with such a woman. Even though they only met briefly, Queen Helena knew that Kalya excelled in all aspects of Princess Freya. She was afraid it would instill a sense of inferiority in her daughter.

"Why are you silent, Freya? Please answer my question. What is the relationship between you, that elf woman, and Ziel? You have to answer honestly. I can't think of you as just friends after learning that she took the risk to come to the castle during the Five Kingdoms Conference. Am I right, Freya?" Queen Helena repeated her question in a higher tone and pressed Princess Freya to answer.

"Hmm… that is…" Princess Freya didn't know what to say to Queen Helena. If she told the truth, she feared her mother would be angry. But if she were lying, her mother would find out soon enough and wouldn't let her go until she told the truth. Princess Freya didn't know what to do in such a situation.

Princess Freya was worried that if her mother found out the truth, she would be against her relationship with Ziel. she didn't want that to happen because Princess Freya couldn't disobey her mother's orders if she said so.

"Before I say it, you must promise that you won't be mad at me, mother. can you do it?" Princess Freya said in a weak voice filled with anxiety. She looked like a little girl being interrogated by her mother.

Queen Helena did not immediately answer Princess Freya's request. She watched Princess Freya carefully and then sighed.

"Alright. I promise I won't be mad at you. So can you tell me honestly?" Queen Helena smiled gently to calm her daughter's tension and anxiety.

"That is… me, Kalya, and Ziel are a couple." Princess Freya said in a low voice that sounded like she was muttering. But Queen Helena could hear her words and frown.

"What do you mean by a couple? Are you saying Ziel is romantically involved with both of you simultaneously?" Queen Helena narrowed her eyes and asked her daughter in a deep voice. Princess Freya shrank in her seat, fearing that her mother would forget her promise and be angry with her.

Princess Freya could only give a slight nod in confirmation and did not dare to look directly at her mother's face. Queen Helena was silent and made the atmosphere in the place quiet and tense. This made Princess Freya even more anxious because she didn't know what her mother was thinking.

Not long after, a sigh rang out from Queen Helena's mouth, making Princess Freya's heart beat fast and cold sweat dripped from her forehead. She nervously waited for what sentence her mother would say. Will her mother ask her to stop her relationship with Ziel, or will she allow it anyway? Princess Freya hoped that it wasn't the first possibility.

"I want to be with him and spend time with him forever. I want to spend the days together in a sad or happy situation. I can even give my soul and body just for him. Women can be not only stupid creatures because of love but also selfish. a woman will become possessive, develop a sense of belonging to the man she loves, and make it only for herself." Queen Helena smiled and explained calmly.

Queen Helena showed no anger on her face or voice after hearing Princess Freya's answer. Even so, Princess Freya still didn't dare to look at her and could only listen in silence. Then Queen Helena sipped the tea in her cup to moisten her throat and resumed her speech.

"I am also a stupid and selfish woman. Although in this world, polygamy is something common. But the problem is, are you ready to share the man you love with another woman? Are you ready to see them making out in front of your eyes? Won't you feel pain in your heart when you see it?" Queen Helena showered questions on her daughter, who lowered her head.

Princess Freya raised her head and looked directly at her mother's face after hearing that question. She didn't expect that her mother didn't look the least bit angry with her. After confirming that, Princess Freya finally dared to speak.

"I'm ready with all that, mother! I love him, and I don't mind if I have to share him with other women as long as I can be by his side. My words may sound like a stupid girl who has drowned in love, but I don't care about that. I love him, and he loves me. That will be enough for me if I can be with him." Princess Freya answered firmly. Her worried face turned into one full of determination.

Queen Helena was dumbfounded when she sensed the seriousness of Princess Freya's words. This was the first time she had seen such an expression on her daughter's face. But her heart shouldn't waver just because of that, and she had to reconfirm Princess Freya's answer.

"Are you sure that you won't regret your decision in the future?" Queen Helena asked seriously. This is very important because it concerns the future of her daughter.

"I'm sure I'll never regret it! Besides, you seem to have misunderstood something, mother." Princess Freya nodded firmly and gave her answer confidently.

"Hmm... what do you mean?" Queen Helena was confused by her daughter's words. She didn't know where she had misunderstood something.

"Ziel and Kalya had a love relationship first. I was the one who suddenly entered among them and became the third person. At first, I tried to snatch Ziel from her, but I failed. My love for Ziel has touched Kalya's heart. In the end, she was willing to share him with me. So, your question should be addressed to Kalya and not me." Princess Freya said shyly, and her face turned red. She didn't know what her mother would say after hearing that.

Queen Helena could only open her mouth wide after hearing her daughter's confession. She thought that Princess Freya was the one who was willing to share Ziel with Kalya, but it turned out to be the opposite. Her daughter had even tried to snatch Ziel from Kalya and ended up with a romantic relationship between the three of them.

She was happy that Princess Freya didn't feel inferior even though she had lost to Kalya. Besides, Kalya seems to treat her daughter very well, judging from Princess Freya's close calls to Kalya that sound like her older sister.

"In that case, take good care of that relationship. If they have some free time before the conference ends, I'd like to have a chat with them." Queen Helena smiled gently and had nothing to say after hearing her daughter's explanation. But she wished she could have a conversation with Ziel and Kalya to discuss their relationship. Queen Helena had to ensure Princess Freya's happiness by getting to know the two people who would accompany her daughter in the future.

"Yes, mother! I will pass it on to them!" Princess Freya smiled broadly and said excitedly. This way, she can confirm that her mother has approved of their relationship, which makes her very happy. But the smile on her face quickly disappeared after seeing her mother in pain while holding her head.

"Mother! What's wrong with you!? Has your illness recurred?" Princess Freya immediately stood up from her chair and approached Queen Helena to check her condition.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Queen Helena smiled and drank her tea again. he didn't want to make his daughter worry in such a situation.

"Are you sure?" Princess Freya did not believe the words of Queen Helena. But after seeing her mother nod, she reluctantly accepted it and returned to her seat. But then she raised her eyebrows after remembering something.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you something, mother." Princess Freya thought her mother was just tired, and it didn't matter if she had to say what she forgot to tell. After all, she had promised to tell her mother everything, and she had to keep it.

"Hmm... what is it?" Queen Helena tilted her head in confusion after seeing the hesitation on her daughter's face.

"It's not just me and Kalya who love Ziel, but also Aishia, Iris, and several other girls. Ah, there is a girl named Azalia whose beauty exceeds Kalya, and she is one of them." Princess Freya said proudly. But her words made her mother speechless.

"What?" Queen Helena was utterly at a loss for words to respond to that statement.

***

Time passed, and today was the second day of the Five Kingdoms Conference. The atmosphere in every royal castle other than the Aurelia Kingdom was quieter than usual because the king and several nobles had gone to attend the event. The same thing happened in the castle of the Rubelia Kingdom.

The situation was taken advantage of by several parties to infiltrate the castle. Three people in all black clothes sneaked into the castle and easily passed through the magic barrier. They were Azalia, Fornius, and Aghares.

Azalia decided to act that day because the last few days, she wanted to ensure that the situation around them was completely safe and that there was no sign of the continent guardians' appearance in the Rubelia Kingdom's territory

The three of them were currently in the center of the castle and were looking for the location of the world altar fragment. They had been doing it for quite some time without being noticed by the soldiers or mages of the Rubelia Kingdom. Unfortunately, Azalia and the others still haven't found the fragment until now.

"Miss, are you sure the fragment is in this castle and was not brought by King Gustave?" Aghares ventured to ask because they still hadn't found the fragment after searching for so long.

"I believe the fragment is inside this castle. Even though it's faint, I can still feel it." Azalia answered without turning her eyes to Aghares. She continued walking and ignored the two people behind her.

Azalia focused on the world altar fragment in her hand, which she used to resonate with the other fragments in the castle to find the coordinates. Azalia had a hard time sensing it because the power emitted from the fragment hidden in that place was weak after being used to summon heroes.

The resonance keeps leading them into the dungeon. In that place, many magic barriers and traps were installed, which hindered them a bit. But their efforts finally paid off after arriving at a small room with multiple layers of magical barrier protection.

It didn't take long for Azalia to turn off the barriers. When she got inside the room, she smiled broadly because the thing they were looking for was there. Azalia didn't rush to pick up the fragment. She checked the situation in her surroundings to ensure there was no trap in the room.

After confirming that the room was safe, Azalia quickly took the fragment and stored it in her space storage.

"Okay. With this, we have obtained all the fragments…." Azalia suddenly stopped her words, and her face sank.

"Get out of here quickly!" Azalia screamed from deep within her lungs and immediately disappeared from the place. She ignored all the barriers in the castle and didn't care if the magic security system was active. Aghares and Fornius were confused by Azalia's actions, but they quickly followed her without asking.

After Fornius and Aghares left, a flash of light fell where they had been standing before. It was a gigantic aura blade that split the Rubelia Kingdom's castle in two.

Slash!

Azalia and the other two reappeared in the sky not far from the castle, and they were stunned at sight. The castle was torn apart, and the land along the several kilometers turned into a bottomless abyss due to that slash.

Azalia narrowed her eyes and looked for the attacker. Her body suddenly trembled when she saw a person in full armor holding a sword in his right hand.
