"Oh, really?"

The queen smiled and placed her hand on Princess Freya's shoulder, gently patting it. "Freya, if you like someone, boldly pursue them. If you don't try, that person will never belong to you. But if you do try, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Although you are not my own, you are still a Yara of the Yael royal family. As an elder, it is my duty to help you in both emotion and reason."

Princess Freya looked at her, somewhat incredulous.

Even though she knew the queen's intentions were impure, she was still touched by her words.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Don't rush to refuse me. I'll give you time to think it over. If you come to a decision, you can always come find me!"

Without giving Freya a chance to refuse, the queen walked away.

As she watched the queen's receding figure, Princess Freya was in the midst of a fierce inner struggle!

Although she was unwilling to cooperate with the queen, she was more clear than anyone else that if she wanted to win over Leonard, the queen's help would make things easier. In front, the maid asked in confusion, "Queen, there is something I don't quite understand. Princess Freya is always against you, why do you still want to help her?" The queen smiled and said, "Helping her is equivalent to helping myself. Freya admires Leonard, and will inevitably do things that undermine the royal family's dignity. When the king wakes up, all conflicts will be transferred to Freya. This may even help regain Quinn's future!" Otherwise, why would she bother to help Freya? She was worried that the palace physician would not be able to get rid of Arthur Yael, so she had to find a new way out and leave herself a back door! "Let them fight each other, and you can sit back and enjoy the benefits. Queen, your strategy is brilliant!" The queen smiled and raised an eyebrow, "No ying can take away my position. Whoever becomes an obstacle, I will kick them away without hesitation!" The maid flattered, "There can only be ying queen of Z country, and that's you!" This sentence made the queen thrilled with joy. She didn't care if the people around her were smart enough, as long as they could be useful to her, they were qualified pawns.

"Let's go, go see the southern country!"

...

Freya woke up groggily and saw Bradley sitting by her side, rubbing his eyes and asking, "Who just came?"

Although they talked in lowered voices, she could still hear someone approaching clearly.

Bradley's tying was indifferent, "Princess Freya brought you bird's nest, but I sent her away."

"No good deed goes unpunished, all show with an ulterior motive!"

This princess may seem gentle and obedient on the surface, but deep down, she is more scheming than ordinary people.

Sending bird's nest is probably just an excuse, the real purpose is to see her husband.

Thinking of this woman's deliberate attempt to get close to Bradley, Freya felt uncomfortable.

Looking at the appearance of the young woman, the man smiled helplessly and reached out to touch her hair, saying, "What are you thinking? You saved her father, so it's only natural for her to come see you."

"Is that so?" Freya didn't want this woman to be so kind-hearted, she pursed her lips and said, "A woman's heart is like the depths of the sea, don't think of her too simplistically."

She didn't have a good impression of this princess anyway.

Not to mention the uncomfortable way she looked at Bradley.

Just the way she deliberately distorted the truth in the council made Freya have no good feelings towards her.

"Alright, alright, if you don't like her, we'll just minimize our contact with her."

The man knew the princess's thoughts very well, he said this just to avoid upsetting Freya, but she didn't appreciate it at all.

Just as he was thinking, Queen Sally's voice came from outside.

"Freya, Leonard, are you free? Can my master come in?"

Freya immediately let go of the man, straightened her clothes, and responded, "Master, please come in." Queen Sally gently pushed the door open and entered.

"Heart, you must be exhausted. I made chicken soup for you in the palace kitchen. Drink it while it's hot."

It was only at this moment that Freya noticed the soup bowl in Queen Sally's hands. She was deeply moved and said, "Master, as a queen of a country, your hands are meant to govern the nation, not to make soup for me."

Although she said this, her heart was filled with gratitude. When she first became Master's disciple, despite her strictness, Master insisted on training her even when she had a cold or a fever.

Freya knew that every time she fell asleep, Master would quietly enter her room and take care of her. She understood Master's care and dedication, hoping she would become stronger and no longer be bullied by others.

Therefore, despite the hardships over the years, she never resented Master in the slightest.

"I am happy to make soup for my grandYara. Get up and drink it, don't waste Master's efforts."

Queen Sally brought the soup over and, looking at the fatigue in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. It was really tough for her to ask a pregnant woman who was over eight months along to help with the surgery. But at that time, Arthur Yael was in critical condition, and she had no choice. Freya made a sound of acknowledgement and got up to take the bowl of soup, sipping it slowly. Queen Sally's cooking skills were always excellent, and the chicken soup was thick but not greasy, very refreshing and sweet. Whether she was truly hungry or had not tasted her master's cooking in a long time, she ended up drinking two bowls in a row. Setting down the bowl and chopsticks, Freya took a tissue to wipe her mouth before asking, "By the way, how is the king doing?" Queen Sally sighed softly, "His condition is stable, but he hasn't woken up yet." In these few hours, Queen Sally had been by Arthur Yael's side taking care of him, talking so much that her throat was almost hoarse, but there was still no response from him. Whether it was due to Warren's experience that made her extremely worried, wondering if Arthur Yael would also become that ghostly figure.

Freya saw through her thoughts at a glance and comforted her, "Master, don't worry. There is a recovery period of a few days after the operation, she won't wake up so soon."

"However, Master, you still need to keep a close eye on the king these days. I'm worried that someone may harm him."

Freya also mentioned to Queen Sally about what happened during the surgery. Therefore, she was not at ease, so she stayed by Arthur Yael's side all the time.

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to secretly watch over him. Any movement will be reported immediately."

"That's good."

Freya said, "I will go over later to examine him and stimulate him to wake up as soon as possible."

She didn't have a good impression of this kingdom and just wanted to settle Arthur Yael's affairs and leave quickly.

In addition, with no news from Madeline and Ella, she couldn't rest assured.

"Don't worry, take a good rest first before talking."

Freya was about to speak when a voice came from outside.

"The Queen is here!"

Freya frowned deeply. It was quite lively today - the Princess had just left, and now the Queen was here.

Queen Sally stood up and said, "You rest well. I'll go and meet her."
