Invicinble Colorless Butler-Chapter 268 4
The Aurelia Kingdom is the kingdom with the largest area in the human region. Its military strength is also above the Rubelia Kingdom, which is centered on military development. The greatness of the Aurelia Kingdom cannot be separated from the success of King Leonida as a ruler.
The capital of the Aurelia Kingdom is Oriana city, the most densely populated area and where the castle is located. Oriana City seemed busier than usual for the past few days. The bustle can even be heard in every corner of the city until midnight. That's because the Five Kingdoms Conference will be held in the next few days.
Due to many foreigners from other regions, King Leonida mobilized more soldiers to guard every corner of the city and prevent criminal acts by people with evil intentions at the Five Kingdoms Conference.
On the street in Oriana city, two people with black robes covering their entire bodies mingled in the crowd. They were Princess Freya and her guardian knight, Aryana Bolevan.
"Princess, wait for me! Can you not walk too fast!?" Aryana ran after Princess Freya, who was walking in a hurry. The direction she was headed was where she met an old man when she was a child and got a prophecy about her destiny.
"Come on, Aryana! Why are you walking so slow!" Princess Freya stopped and waited for Aryana behind her.
Princess Freya didn't want Aryana to come with her because she no longer needed a guardian knight. With her current strength, Princess Freya could take care of herself without the help of the guardian knights because her abilities were already above Aryana's. But Princess Freya couldn't say that to Aryana for fear of hurting her.
"You are walking too fast, Princess! Since when did you become this fast?" Aryana thought that Princess Freya had changed a bit after returning from the academy. Before going to the academy, Princess Freya was like a dull knife, but now she is like a sharp sword. Aryana sensed that Princess Freya's strength had increased drastically compared to the last time they met.
In addition, the change from Princess Freya that Aryana noticed was that she became more cheerful and less rigid in her actions. Previously, Princess Freya only cared about her elegance and image in the eyes of others.
"Ahahahaa�| I'm sorry. I'm too excited because I haven't walked around Oriana city in a long time." Princess Freya laughed and had a big smile on her face.
Aryana was stunned but then smiled warmly when she saw Princess Freya's expression. She had been with Princess Freya since childhood and considered her his little sister. Of course, Aryana would be happy to see the look of happiness on her face.
"Okay... okay. I understand. So, where exactly are we headed?" Aryana asked curiously.
Aryana and Princess Freya were on the city street right now because she had accidentally caught Princess Freya about to sneak out secretly. Then Aryana scolded and threatened to report to her father, King Leonida. But after seeing Princess Freya's pitiful face, she couldn't bear to do so and let her go on the condition that she had to come with her.
At first, Princess Freya refused, but Aryana continued to press her until Princess Freya agreed. Because of that, Aryana was curious about Princess Freya's purpose in sneaking out of the castle.
"Do you remember the place where I got lost when I was a kid and was found by you?" Princess Freya asked back. Aryana was silent and tried to regain her memories from several years ago. Then she raised her eyebrows after remembering it.
"That place? The place where you said you met an old man?" Aryana asked doubtfully. She wasn't sure that Princess Freya wanted to go to such a place.
"You are right!" Princess Freya walked again and left Aryana behind.
"But why do you want to go to that place, Princess?" Aryana chased after Princess Freya and walked beside her. She looked around the area secretly. Aryana had to make sure that no one followed or looked at them with malicious intent. If there was such a person, he could immediately take precautions before they sprang into action.
"I feel bored staying in the castle. Moreover, the noise from the preparations for the Five Kingdoms Conference disturbed me a bit. So I decided to take a short walk to refresh my mind!" Princess Freya walked with light steps towards the end of the road not far from where she was.
When Princess Freya arrived at her destination, she fell silent in confusion. He checked his surroundings like he was looking for something.
"What's wrong, Princess?" Aryana also felt confused by Princess Freya's behavior.
"Arya, since when did this place become like this!?" Princess Freya grabbed Aryana's shoulder and shook her vigorously.
"Please calm down, Princess! This place has been like this since many years ago!" Aryana had difficulty answering under the pressure of Princess Freya's strength.
"What!? Then where is the empty house!?" Princess Freya was shocked and then released her grip on Aryana and looked around to find an empty house where she met an old man who had told her about her destiny.
Princess Freya went to that place, hoping to meet the old man again. She wanted to thank him and ask him something else about the future of her relationship with Ziel. Princess Freya did not believe the other fortune tellers because the old man's words had been proven and come true. So she went to that place to find the old man.
But Princess Freya didn't know where the empty house was now. All the buildings in the area looked brand new. The atmosphere in that place was different from when she got lost there a few years ago. At first, the area was tranquil and rarely visited by people, but now the number of people passing by was quite dense and even made it difficult for Princess Freya to walk.
"I don't know, Princess. I've also forgotten about it because the empty houses in this area have been demolished and replaced with new buildings many years ago." Aryana smiled bitterly. There are hundreds of new buildings in the area. She didn't remember the exact location of the empty house that Princess Freya was referring to. It was a long time ago, and Aryana had forgotten about it.
"Haa..." Princess Freya sighed, and she looked very disappointed.
"Princess..." Aryana felt pity after seeing Princess Freya's expression.
"Let's go back to the castle, Arya. There's nothing we can do here anymore." Princess Freya stepped weakly. She felt that she was doing something pointless by coming to that place. But suddenly, a little girl came her way. The little girl has a very adorable oval face.
"Do you need anything from me?" Princess Freya subconsciously smiled and asked the girl.
The little girl didn't say anything and gave Princess Freya a piece of paper rolled up and tied with a red ribbon. After that, the little girl immediately left the place. The little girl's actions dumbfounded Princess Freya and Aryana. When they looked in the direction the little girl had gone, her figure had already disappeared from their sight.
Princess Freya quickly unrolled the paper. Aryana peeked at the letter because she felt as curious as Princess Freya. The two girls were shocked when they saw the message written on the paper.
(When you receive this letter, it means that you have returned to the place you met me in the past. After you return to the castle, I leave you this letter, Princess Freya. Whether it be one year, two years, or the next few years, I'm sure you will return to this place. What I want to say is that your destiny is not yours alone. If you don't have enough strength to stand with him, then you will only become a burden to him. Because in the future, that person will face many terrible enemies)
After Princess Freya and Aryana finished reading it, the letter turned into light particles and disappeared. Aryana was silent because she was confused by the meaning of the message. Still, Princess Freya quickly understood because she had already seen how terrifying the enemy described in the letter was.
"I will never be a burden to Ziel!" Princess Freya did not feel discouraged and clenched her fists tightly. The contents of the letter made her even more determined to keep getting stronger and stronger so that she deserves to be side by side with Ziel and not just as luggage.
"Let's go back, Arya! I've got what I wanted in this place!" Princess Freya smiled broadly and started walking with light steps.
"Eh? Wait for me, Princess!" Aryana returned to her senses after hearing Princess Freya's voice and ran after her. They walked away from the place and disappeared into the crowd.

The Castle of Aurelia Kingdom is the most luxurious and majestic castle among the other four kingdoms in the human region. Almost the entire castle is made of gold and looks very shiny.
After returning to the castle, Princess Freya and Aryana parted ways. Aryana still had other tasks she had to do while Princess Freya intended to return to her room. On her way down the corridor, Princess Freya's footsteps were stopped by a woman's voice from behind her.
"Where are you from, Freya?" the woman asked softly.
Princess Freya jolted when she heard that voice. Then she slowly turned around and smiled at the owner of the voice.
"Hehea�| I was strolling around the castle, mother." Princess Freya answered shyly and didn't dare to look directly at the woman.
The one who asked Princess Freya was a graceful middle-aged woman with a face similar to hers. She was Helena Aurelia, wife of King Leonida and mother of Princess Freya. As a queen, she was not only beautiful but also extraordinary. Queen Helena has the power of a Magic King. But because of her strange disease that kept recurring periodically at random times, her body became weak.
"You go around the castle wearing a black robe like that? Wouldn't you be a suspicious person and get caught by the guards right away? I know you're lying. So where exactly did you go?" Queen Helena smiled and pinched Princess Freya's nose.
"Ugh! Mother! I'm not a kid anymore!" Princess Freya complained but then smiled and hugged Queen Helena.
"Of course, you're an adult. How can you have a man you love if you are a kid?" Queen Helena teased Princess Freya and rubbed her back affectionately.
"Mother! How did you know that!?" Princess Freya quickly removed her arms from her mother and asked frantically. She was embarrassed because her mother had known her little secret.
"Hehea�| That's a secret. We'd better go somewhere else to continue our chat over a cup of tea and a snack. Haven't we been doing it for a long time?" Queen Helena could only smile at her daughter's adorable reaction.
"Okay! But is it okay with your current condition? Shouldn't you be resting in your room? I heard that your illness is relapsing again." Princess Freya asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, and I've had enough rest. Let's go to the living room. I originally intended to drink tea with you in the back garden. But the wind is blowing hard right now, and I'm afraid to worsen my condition." Queen Helena strolled towards the living room. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
"Yes, mother!" Princess Freya walked beside Queen Helena and held her hand.
The living room in the castle is a particular room for the royal family to rest while enjoying a cup of tea and snacks specially prepared by the maid. Like the other rooms in the castle, the living room is predominantly golden in color and looks very luxurious and elegant.
"So, who is the lucky man who has managed to get the heart of my beautiful daughter?" Queen Helena smiled and asked Princess Freya. The first question she asked after sitting in her chair was about the man who had entered Princess Freya's heart.
"Mother! Can you not openly ask that? After all, I should be the lucky one to win his heart." Princess Freya smiled shyly and looked away from her mother because she didn't want Queen Helena to see her blushing face.
"Oh? Is that so? I'm becoming more and more curious about that guya�|" Princess Helena said in a voice that grew weaker and weaker at the end of her sentence.
"I will introduce him to you! He is a good man! I'm sure you'll like him! It's just that he's a little cold. But please keep this a secret from father for now. I'm afraid he will pressure me to say who he is. Hmma�| mother?" Princess Freya was confused because there was no response from her mother.
Thud!
Before Princess Freya could look at Queen Helena, a voice caught her attention. When she looked at where the voice came from, Princess Freya opened her eyes wide as her mother fell and lay unconscious on the floor.
"Mother!" Princess Freya screamed in panic and immediately got up from her seat to check on Queen Helena's condition.
