Chapter 241 330: The Fame Of One Friend [Pt2]



‘No, I was not the one who did this. I have no idea what is going on here. They all had to believe that I never meant anyone hard, right?’

Freshia knew she was not at fault here. No matter what anyone said, she was assured of her position and she was willing to fight for it fair and square. What use did she have of tricks?

But not everyone seemed to think the same as her. The looks she was getting were harsh and jealous. People would do their best to drag Freshia down but her followers had to believe in her, right?

‘Rui, you know that I am not to culprit here, right? You have to believe in me.’

Freshia turned to look at Rui for support, wanting her friend to stand up for her. Rui was the only person who had never turned her face away from Freshia. She needed to take a stand here.

“I’m sorry Freshia but I cannot take a stand here. I know that you are innocent but if I speak up for you now, then you will get in even more trouble.”

Freshia’s heart was filled with dread as soon as she heard Rui speak. Her last friend was abandoning her as well it seemed.

‘I cannot believe this is happening to me. First, I get abandoned and then humiliated. And now Huye died and everyone thinks it’s my fault? Just where did things go so wrong in my life?’

Freshia was, for the first time in her life, afraid of what the future held for her. She had never been more terrified for her position than she was currently and it stung her when she had to consider what she had lost.

She tried to look around the hallway and ask for help from the people, but no one was on her side.

At last, Freshia had only one hope left for her life. And that was the queen and her favor. The queen had promised to hear Freshia out once in her time of need.

When Freshia had been given this promise, she had never thought she would use it. She had felt reassured of her position and the people in her life. Why would she need such a stupid promise anyway?

But now, that promise was the only thing she could hold on to, and pray that the queen had not forgotten about it.

“Y-You have to hear me out, your majesty. It was not me who did it. You promised to hear me out once in my life.”

Freshia begged with everything on the line. She was not willing to back down from here and she needed to take her revenge.

She was not willing to let the people who framed her live.

The queen looked at Freshia with interest in her eyes. This was the look that gave Freshia hope that she would be able to sway the queen’s heart. The queen had been weak for Freshia once.

“My queen, you have to know that I did not kill Huye and I did not have any intentions of killing your c-consort. I am not the kind of person who would kill someone because of jealousy.”

Freshia knew that there was a slim chance she would not be heard by the queen, but she was still worried.

The people, around her, were beginning to gossip about her now and their words hurt her consciousness. But Freshia still did not back down and kept her head high.

Ultimately, the queen moved toward her and Freshia felt her heart sink into the bottom of her stomach. The closed-off expression of the queen did not tell Freshia anything of worth.

“I know you did not kill Huye and you did not mean to kill Zadkiel as well Freshia,” Freshia’s terror vanished for a second before the queen continued, “but someone needs to take responsibility for this act.”

“And that is why, you shall be sentenced to death, Freshia Wells. Your presence is a hindrance to this nation now and you are no longer needed.”

Freshia’s heart was terrified of what the queen said. She could not help but let the sense of betrayal she felt take over her heart.

The queen was someone who had taken her heart when Freshia had been young and now she was going to take her heart literally. But Freshia refused to go down without a fight.

“Y-You are going to do this to me? ME! Someone who was always by your side and never left you alone. I am someone who shared all your secrets and kept ten safe. You will not get away with this, my queen. I will make sure of it. After all, you are a puppet to the world’s will as well.”

Freshia finally broke down and could no longer take what she had been subjected to. Her words rang in the ballroom and she lunged toward the queen.

“Guards, stop the attack. Do not let this lunatic reach our queen.”

The royal guards tried to stop Freshia but they were too slow to stop her from reaching the queen. The queen stopped Freshia’s fist by catching her wrist but that turned out to be a bad move on her part.

“You know, I always admired you and I was willing to give you anything you asked of me. That was why I believed that we could be happy if I tried to understand you. But now I can see that it was all wishful thinking on my part.”

“You never considered me as an option, right? It was always all in my head.”

Yohan watched from the sidelines as the drama intensified. Freshia spoke softly something which caused a light to burst out of the queen’s puppet.

The queen was startled and so was everyone else. Only two people knew what was going on in the room and they were Yohan and Zadkiel.

“Shit, how did Freshia manage to trigger the realm key like this? I need to stop her before everyone in this room dies.”

It was beyond foolish to stop the realm key once it had been activated by Yohan had to try anyway. It was his treasure Freshia was playing around with.

Both he and Zadkiel managed to reach Freshia and the queen’s puppet but they could not stop the explosion from occurring.

Yohan closed his eyes to protect himself from what was happening. When he opened his eyes the next time, he knew something was wrong.

He was lying in his room in the Abstel mansion but that should not be possible because Yohan needed to be in the royal castle right now. There was also a sharp pain in his head when he tried to remember what happened.

The world had changed and Yohan had no idea in what capacity.

“Let’s look around for clues for now. I am sure I will find something if I try my hardest.”

Yohan started to look around for clues but he did not find much. It was as if nothing had changed in his room or around his surroundings.

But something must have happened since the realm key had reacted and he had felt the changes taking place around it.

‘Hmm, seems like it will be a tough time to come for me. I should stay alert for the time being. I don’t know what changes occurred during this time and I guess I will need to look around more.'
