Yuan Xiao noticed that Freya was in a daze and signaled the two men in black to untie her.

This was the Yuan Kingdom, his territory. No matter how capable Freya was, she couldn't possibly escape from his grasp.

Therefore, Yuan Xiao naturally relaxed his vigilance.

"What you see now is that the Yuan Kingdom has a vast territory but a sparse population. However, in the next few years, it will definitely surpass Solterra and regain its position in the international arena!" Yuan Xiao said confidently.

Hearing this, Freya sneered inwardly.

With Yuan Xiao's abilities, the idea of surpassing Solterra was nothing but a pipe dream.

Yuan Xiao saw her expression and knew very well that she didn't believe him.

But it didn't matter. Since she was on his territory, he had plenty of time to prove to her that he could definitely surpass Leonard.

He even imagined making Leonard kneel in front of him and beg for mercy!

"Come on, I'll show you the architecture of our Yuan Kingdom!" After saying that, Yuan Xiao walked ahead on his own.

Freya followed behind, carefully observing the terrain around her.

This place was not only vast and sparsely populated but also mostly flat land.

This kind of terrain was not suitable for hiding. In other words, as soon as Bradley and his men showed up, they would immediately be detected by Yuan Xiao's people.

The royal palace of the Yuan Kingdom sent a car to pick them up. After getting in the car, Freya kept thinking about how to send a message to Bradley.

After all, Yuan Xiao had taken away all her communication devices, and she couldn't get in touch with Bradley.

She was preoccupied all the way until the car stopped in front of a magnificent palace, and Yuan Xiao's voice came to her ears, "We're here!"

Freya responded with an "oh" and then opened the car door to get out.

However, the guards of the Yuan Kingdom outside had already opened the door for her and bowed to her respectfully.

After Yuan Xiao got out of the car, he said to everyone, "This is a guest of our Yuan Kingdom. From now on, seeing her is the same as seeing me. Do you understand?"

From his arrogant tone and behavior, one could tell what kind of person Yuan Xiao was!

This time, when she followed Yuan Xiao back to the Yuan Kingdom, Freya didn't plan to confront him head-on.

Temporarily showing weakness might be the greatest counterattack in this battle.

So after getting out of the car, she obediently came to Yuan Xiao's side and said to him, "Now that I'm on your territory, even if I had wings, I'm afraid I couldn't escape from here!"

Her voice carried a hint of sadness.

Yuan Xiao looked at her for a long time and then patted his chest and said, "I'll make you stay here willingly."

"Come on, I'll take you to your room to rest!"

Before coming back, Yuan Xiao had told the maids to tidy up the room, so Freya could move in directly.

Yuan Xiao personally led Freya to her residence. It was an elegant small courtyard, simple but very comfortable, which was very much in line with Freya's personality.

When the maid saw the two of them, she quickly curtsied and said, "The room has been rearranged according to the prince's request. Please go in and rest, esteemed guest!"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiao waved his hand to signal the maid to step back, and then he stepped into the room.

Freya followed in. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a faint fragrance.

She couldn't tell what the scent was, but it was very special.

Noticing that she had paid attention to it, Yuan Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you know the profession of a perfumer?"

Freya nodded. "I know. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture therapy, and perfumers use scents to treat illnesses. Could it be that this fragrance was prepared by a perfumer?"

Yuan Xiao nodded. "You guessed it right. There are perfumers in the royal palace whom my mother hired at a high price. Before we came back, I arranged for them to prepare this dreamy fragrance for you. Does it smell good?"

It really did smell good. It made her feel refreshed, and even her tense nerves relaxed for no apparent reason.

This made Freya feel incredible!

She had never come into contact with someone with the profession of a perfumer before, but she had heard about the abilities of this profession.

They were good at preparing various fragrances. The scents could not only change a person's mood but also help them fall asleep easily.

What's more, in some cases, the scents could even bewitch people!

Thinking of the last point, Freya frowned slightly!

At this moment, she was on Yuan Xiao's territory, and she had to be cautious about everything. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness could lead to self-destruction.

No matter what the purpose of this fragrance was, Freya thought it was better to be careful.

However, what surprised her was that she had heard her master mention the profession of a perfumer a few years ago. Her master had once said that perfumers were gradually disappearing in this world.

But unexpectedly, in this remote small country, there were actually several mysterious perfumers.

Freya thought that if she had the opportunity, she should meet these perfumers. Maybe she could get some unexpected gains!

While she was thinking, she heard Yuan Xiao's voice again, "Just stay here. If you need anything, just ask someone to inform me."

The implication was clear: she was under house arrest!

Freya naturally understood that Yuan Xiao wouldn't be so kind as to let her walk around freely. But it didn't matter. She had just arrived and wasn't familiar with the place yet, so she needed some time to adapt.

This was also a good opportunity for her to think carefully about her next plan, such as how to get in touch with Bradley and how to secretly figure out the layout of the royal palace and Yuan Xiao's plans.

"Don't worry. I'm just your captive and know my place!"

Freya smiled self-deprecatingly.

But Yuan Xiao corrected her, "Not a captive, but a guest!"

"Alright, a guest! I hope this trip to the Yuan Kingdom won't disappoint me too much!"

After saying this, Freya ignored Yuan Xiao and quietly observed everything in the residence.

Yuan Xiao had something else to deal with, so he didn't stay any longer.

After instructing the maid to take care of Freya's daily life, he turned around and left the small courtyard.

As soon as he left, Freya's expression instantly turned cold.

She squinted her eyes and looked out of the window. Sure enough, she saw three or four guards standing outside. When she opened the door, the maid was waiting outside, and there were also guards patrolling back and forth.

When the maid asked her if she had any instructions, Freya smiled and said it was okay, and then closed the door again.

It seemed that Yuan Xiao didn't fully trust her. He had sent so many people to guard her because he was still afraid that she would escape.

But Yuan Xiao didn't know that this time, if she didn't find out some information, Freya wouldn't leave so easily.

After all, this country was a major threat to Bradley!

She had to pave the way for Bradley in advance and help him avoid this disaster smoothly.

Since she couldn't leave and couldn't get out, Freya lay on the bed thinking about her plan.

She didn't know if it was the effect of the fragrance or because she had been traveling back and forth recently and was too tired, but Freya actually closed her eyes and fell asleep like this.

At this time, Yuan Xiao went to the residence in the royal palace!

As soon as he stepped in, he heard a fierce shout from inside, "What did you say? Xiao'er brought a woman back to the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I saw it with my own eyes."

The person speaking was the personal maid beside the Queen.

Upon hearing this, the Queen's eyebrows twitched. Yuan Xiao had a wild and unruly personality, and more importantly, he was extremely extravagant. There were always many women around him.

But it was one thing for him to fool around in the palace, but he actually brought a woman from outside back.

This made the Queen extremely angry.
