Chapter 262

It took some time for Han to calm down after laughing and Gregory sighed at his childishness. Sometimes he wonders who is really the older one between them. But there is something that was still bugging Gregory.

“Did you notice how much they kept trying to pry into your personal life last night? Almost all of them were asking about you and what your life was like. I even heard them asking about the other girls”

Han nodded. He also noticed that the visitors seemed far too interested in him and what his life was like. Normally, people would just say that everyone was just curious about him since he was a new king. But it was too much. Han couldn’t get the feeling that something was wrong out of his mind throughout last night.

What made it even worse was the way Freya acted. She might have been a little drunk last night but there is no way she didn’t know exactly what she was doing. She intentionally tried to seduce Han for some reason.

“When you left, I saw Freya following after you. Did she do something to you? I don’t think she could harm you... But...”

Han waved away Gregory’s concern. It was fine since he dealt with Freya. It was just too bad that the woman already left to the upper floors with her people, Han wanted to ask her what exactly she was trying to do last night.

Han knew he couldn’t just force her to sign the contract of submission through a fight as he did for Quinthreath. Quinthreath was no longer a King and so everything was legal. But if Han did the same thing to Freya, then he would be declaring war on the other kings because of their agreement. They would all attack Han because they will automatically assume that he will want to go to war with them too. He did want to go to war with them, but he didn’t want them to know his next move yet! He needed to move carefully and hit them when they least expect it! He had a plan for all this and won’t let anything change his plans yet!

Han was scheduled to go to Freya’s land tomorrow morning so he could check out the things she wanted to show him. This was meant to be a diplomatic visit so Han could only take a limited number of people with him. Just like Freya, he would also take five hundred men and see what she would do. Even if that woman is planning something against Han, Han was still a one-man army with his Shadow Hunters. Han told Gregory to get the soldiers ready and Gregory nodded as he fell into his shadow and disappeared.

......

But that wasn’t the case at all. When Han was telling Gregory about this, Gregory could tell that Han felt dirty for some reason. Han didn’t enjoy what he did to get this woman to agree to this. He was playing with her heart and he felt dirty because of it. Han didn’t sleep with the woman, but he did something much worse. He made her assume that she had a chance with him. That was much worse in Han’s opinion and he knew he would have to cut her off before things got too heated.

Gregory didn’t see anything wrong with it since she was the enemy, but for some reason Han really hated doing things like this. Somewhere inside his heart, he just felt it was wrong. No one should play with an innocent woman’s heart

The woman was wearing a large cloak over her body as she walked toward Gregory, and she made sure that the person she was meeting was actually Gregory before she nodded to him. Gregory didn’t say a word to her since they didn’t want to attract any suspicion. He just stretched his hand to the side and the woman grabbed a red vial that he passed to her.

“Move out of the way! You’re standing in the way you scum!”

Gregory suddenly heard a loud voice before the sound of marching also came to him. It sounded like a lot of soldiers were moving down the road. Gregory turned and made sure that girl was gone before he moved to the side and hid a bit deeper into the shadow as he saw a convoy of soldiers leading a carriage through the road! That symbol! It’s the same one that Gregory saw on the ships that came to Han’s castle! This means that the person inside the carriage is Freya!

“Move out of the way now!”

The soldiers in front were pushing people out of the way to make sure they didn’t disturb the march while those in the back were keeping their eyes peeled for any sort of danger. Gregory didn’t bother hiding too much because he knew the only people that might be able to sense him were Freya and Esse and they were both inside the carriage, so he was fine!

They are probably going to welcome Han at the portal. Han should be arriving any moment now, right? I should probably go back and meet him. They will become suspicious if the second in command isn’t around with his king!

......

At the portal, Han arrived along with five hundred warriors behind him! The people at the gates became scared once they saw him! They have already been told by the king that they will be receiving a guest today, but they didn’t know that Han will come like this! He looks like he is here for war!

Han was wearing an all-black robe that royals would usually wear. He had the robe open to show the black shirt and trousers he wore inside and also all the different artifacts on his body. At that moment he looked like a true mage!

Han walked through the portal while ignoring the soldiers who gave him a shaky salute. He looked ahead with his [Almighty Overseer] and saw the carriage carrying King Freya. He could easily see inside the carriage and Freya must’ve noticed him because she gave him a smile from inside the carriage. Han didn’t bother smiling back as he waited for her to come.
