After finalizing the plan, Freya got up and went to the bookshelf, deliberately pushing it over.
As the bookshelf tilted, the books on it fell to the ground with a clatter, making quite a commotion.
Immediately afterwards, there were sparse footsteps outside.
Seeing that the plan was working, Freya quickly found a safe place to hide. The next second, there was the sound of voices outside, and soon someone unlocked the door and rushed in.
"Who's in there?"
The cold voice of the guard came in.
Freya held her breath and looked for an opportunity to slip out.
Not hearing a response, the group of guards scattered and began to search for any suspicious person.
This was the moment!
Freya darted out of the door.
"There's a thief. Quick, catch her."
Even though her movements were light, she was still spotted by the guards outside when she came out.
Freya squinted her eyes, then raised her hand to cover half of her face and immediately engaged in a fight with the guards.
The commotion here attracted more and more guards.
Freya thought it was bad as the number of people increased.
Just as a group of people surrounded her tightly, suddenly a dark figure flashed by, entering her field of vision at a strange speed. The figure grabbed her hand, kicked several guards away with a single kick, and then broke through the encirclement and ran forward quickly.
"Husband, why did you come?"
Freya looked up at the man, not expecting that on the very first day, she would cause him so much trouble.
Bradley held her hand and ran, saying in a solemn voice, "Your phone ran out of power and turned off. I had a bad feeling in my heart and came out to look for you. Then I heard quite a commotion coming from the direction of the information room. I thought something must have happened to you, so I rushed over."
Freya let out an "oh". When she pushed over the bookshelf just now, she used all her strength. When the bookshelf fell to the ground, she heard a really loud noise.
Behind them, the guards chased after them relentlessly.
"Don't let them get away. Quick, catch them."
Freya was helpless. It seemed that these people wouldn't give up until they caught her tonight.
"If we keep running like this, we'll definitely alert Yelü Qi. It'll be hard to explain then." Freya was a bit worried.
Bradley understood. The last birthday banquet had ended unpleasantly. Yelü Qi might not pursue the matter for Queen Sally's sake, but it didn't mean that some ill - intentioned people wouldn't seize on this matter.
Seeing more and more people approaching in the distance, Bradley directly pulled Freya and slipped into a door.
"Where are they?"
Outside, there came the anxious voice of the guard.
"You, all of you, go look in front. And you, go this way. You must catch those two thieves before alerting the king."
"Yes."
Then, there were the sounds of footsteps gradually dispersing.
Freya and Bradley leaned against the wall, breathing slightly heavily.
After catching their breath, the man turned his head and looked deeply at Freya. "It's so late. What were you doing in the information room? Are you investigating the Yelü royal family?"
By now, Freya felt there was nothing to hide.
Bradley was her husband, the person she could rely on. As long as she said a word, he would surely remove all obstacles for her.
She pursed her lips and confessed, "Yes. Mi Luo has found some clues. It's possible that my biological father is from the Yelü royal family."
Hearing this, Bradley's eyes darkened slightly.
It seemed that she had also been secretly investigating her own background.
Bradley thought for a while and then told her everything he had found out. "Yes, the people I sent reported that it's very likely that you're of the Yelü royal family's bloodline."
Originally, he was afraid that this would burden Freya, so he hadn't said anything. Now that she wanted to know her own background, there was no need for him to keep hiding it.
Freya said, "So, does that mean Xingyue is my cousin, either paternal or maternal?"
Freya's eyes lit up at this unexpected discovery.
The man sighed helplessly. "Yes. That's why I'm worried that once your background is exposed, you'll attract a lot of trouble in the future."
Not to mention the revenge from Yelü Xingyue, the Yelü royal family was too complicated. If Freya got involved, she would surely get into a mess.
Bradley still hoped that Freya's background had nothing to do with the Yelü royal family!
"Even if I'm of the Yelü royal family's bloodline, I'm still your wife, Leonard. A woman follows her husband. Solterra is my home." Freya smiled and hugged the man's arm, showing her dimples.
The man's heart softened. He hugged her even tighter, as if he wanted to blend her into his very being.
The sound of footsteps outside continued. It seemed that the guards were searching room by room.
It wouldn't be long before they found this room.
Bradley let go of Freya, opened the door, and looked outside.
In the darkness, there were densely packed heads. If they went out, they would definitely expose their whereabouts.
"It seems we have to stay here for a while." After saying that, he placed Freya's head on his shoulder, and the two of them sat side by side on the ground, chatting about the situation of the Yelü royal family.
Freya said, "I just noticed a problem. Yelü Qi has a younger brother with blank information, and his name is crossed out, as if he's been removed from the family."
Bradley nodded. "Yes. This Yelü An has left the family, so there's no record of him in the family tree. However, I've already asked Blue Book to investigate this matter. I believe we'll have clues soon."
He briefly told her all the clues but omitted the matter of the birthmark.
After all, in Bradley's heart, he already had a suspected target.
But if he said it now, he was afraid it would add to Freya's burden.
So, after weighing it in his heart for a long time, he finally decided to keep it a secret for now.
"Well, even if he's not my father, there's clearly something wrong with this man leaving the family." Freya didn't know what the man was thinking. She was now completely curious about this Yelü An.
As they were chatting, there were footsteps outside.
Freya squinted her eyes and looked around. Only then did she realize that this was a beautifully decorated room.
No one lived here, but there was no trace of dust in the air, which meant someone came to clean it every day.
Not far away, there was a double - sized bed.
Freya thought for a moment, then pulled Bradley towards the bed and pushed him onto it. After she climbed onto the bed herself, she lowered the mosquito net.
"Let's just lie here and sleep. When those people come in and see it's us, they shouldn't dare to act rashly."
After all, they were the monarch and the mistress of Solterra. Who would dare to label them as thieves?
"Okay, let's sleep." Bradley curved his lips.
The way Freya had pushed him just now, so proactive and bold, suddenly stirred up a storm in his heart.
At this moment, he just wanted to spoil her.
When Freya saw the man approaching and felt his warm body, she immediately realized what he wanted to do.
