Chapter 263

He only came here with the soldiers. He left Yana back at the castle and Quinthreath was also busy trying to help his friend. It was hard being a king, but Han thought he wasn’t doing too bad of a job! I just need to get this woman to sign the contract and I should move to a higher floor! I can’t keep wasting time like this on stupid democratic nonsense!

The carriage carrying Freya and Esse finally arrived and stopped right in front of Han. Freya came down and she widened her hands as she came and hugged Han! It looked like a simple hug to everyone else gathered, but with the way she pressed her chest into Han’s own, Han could tell that it was not.

He frowned and pulled back. Oh yeah, he was going to end things today. One way or the other.

“King Han, it’s a pleasure to see you accepted my invitation. You look very dashing,”

Han nodded and then told his soldiers to bring forward the gift he brought for Feya. Freya’s eyes lit up in surprise when she heard this. She didn’t think Han would have any time to prepare gifts since she invited him so suddenly! What could he have possibly brought for her!?

Hans soldiers brought a large wooden box forward and they opened it to reveal a lot of lining and clothes.

“The finest clothes weaved from the finest cotton. Each one is not worth less than five hundred gold coins and there are hundreds of them inside the box. I hope you and your people enjoy it,”

Han could already guess how Freya would react. The smile that appeared on her face was really pleased! He already knew she was a woman that prided herself on her appearance. Something like this would surely be worth more than simple gold to her. She will be happier if she had the best clothes to wear instead!

Freya smiled at Han and took his hand in her own.

“It’s always a pleasure when we meet, King Han. I will gladly accept your gift,”

Han gave her a strained smile. Let go of me, wench. Freya told some of her soldiers to move the gift away. Once that was done, Freya was about to welcome Han into the carriage to ride with her but then Esse spoke up.

“King Han, where is your right hand? I haven’t seen him anywhere and I would also wish to greet him,”

Han’s brow rose curiously. Oh, that’s true. Where the fuck are you, Gregory? I thought I told you to come back before this meeting?

“I’m right here,”

Gregory rose from the ground behind Han and Esse’s smile widened happily. He gave Freya a small bow as a sign of respect and then went to stand at Han’s right hand. Esse wanted to talk to Gregory so when they were entering the carriage she made sure she sat right opposite him.

The ride back to Freya’s home was very one-sided. To Gregory, it was just irritating to try and listen to Esse talking to him so much. He would rather be in the shadow so that he could travel faster. But to Han, he just enjoyed Gregory’s pain while giving Freya short answers to the questions she asked. What? It’s a father’s joy to watch his son go through things like this! It was just too funny!

Fuck it! He needs to get rid of her now!

[Shadow Travel] has been activated!

The man dropped into the shadow on the floor immediately and Yana moved back quickly. The man is a white star so he must have a lot of high-level skills!

He moved around to her back and quickly jumped out from her blind spot! He is going to stab her in the neck so she just bleeds out quickly! There is no need to make it stretch longer than this!

Slam!!!

“Grk!!”

What the fuck!? The man couldn’t believe it! Yana saw him! She managed to kick him even from that blind spot! He didn’t even make a sound!

Yana’s father was a black star and she has been training with him for almost a hundred years. What sort of white star could possibly challenge her!? Yana stomped down on the man but he quickly activated the skill [Intangibility] as he slipped out from her grasp and rolled to the side! He tried to jump towards her again but he stopped when he suddenly heard people shouting as they ran towards Yana’s room.

“Shit! I need to go to the next one in time! I can’t get caught here!”

Yanas eyes widened! The next one!? Who else did he want to kill! She ran to intercept him but he managed to drop into his shadow again before she could get close! She pouted in anger as many guards suddenly appeared in her room.

The man in front was a general and he immediately looked around to make sure that Yana was okay. When he saw that she wasn’t harmed he asked her what happened.

“A Nightwalker assassin came. I think he was after more people, not just me!”

The general quickly told all the guards to search through the entire castle! The Nightwalkers in the guard quickly disappeared into the ground while the others all ran out of the room to look around as well!

Once they were gone, the general asked Yana who else the assassin could be after. Yana furrowed her brow as she tried to remember anything from the assassin. There wasn’t anything that she could use to tell who he was because he covered his entire body with his clothes.

But his knife. Wasn’t there something on his knife? Yana’s eyes widened in realization! He had the symbol of Freya! She was too busy to see it properly, but that was definitely two spears that she saw on that blade!

She told the general about this and the general was shocked! Freya!? Isn’t she an ally!? Why would she send an assassin to Yana? And worst of all, the king is currently in her territory! They have to go there!

Yana shook her head as she began to walk out of the room. No, she can’t think that Han doesn’t already suspect something. Even yesterday, he looked angry with Freya for some reason. The thing I need to focus more on is finding out who else the assassin could be going after. Who else can Freya want to kill that is close to Han?

Yana paused. It was like a lightbulb went off in her head! How could she be so stupid! She wasn’t the only girl Han was in love with!

“Han!!!!!”
