Book 11: Chapter 43


    Freya was aware that the future of the North depended on itself. She was also aware that her n could fail. Freya only found out about the method from the experts. It was the foundational step for changing the North.


    I have to free the North from the elves control. This is thend her Onii-sama worked hard to capture. We cannot rely on others, thought Freya.


    If they relied on others, then they would be resigned to existing as a vassal state. Freya knew that her onii-sama didnt want to a vassal state, though. He wantednd he could manage himself. He wasnt afternd to live off of and get by until his time in the world was over. What he wanted was to build another nation as great as Elizabeths empire.


    Freya was aware that her n wasnt fool proof. They were below the mountains furthest West. The n was to blow the mountain up to allow the warmth from the ocean to enter the frozennd, subsequently making thend fertile once again. Thend may be devoid of mana, but mana wasnt what the continent needed most. However, Freya had no way back. From a scientific standpoint, the idea was not fool proof. But she needed to go through with it for her emotions and needs. She had to make it a sess for her brother and the Princess. If one hole wasnt adequate, Freya nned to blow up all of the mountains!!


    What the North needed most wasnt mana, but warmth. As long as there was warmth, the North would be no different to the South. The resources and finances required for the North could be provided through Troy City. Troy City wasnt far from the former. Also, since Troy City had the elven dye, which was a major money maker, there was no danger of a money shortage.


    Everything the North required could be provided by Troy City. At present, the North just needed to get through the initial period. Once developmentsmenced, the speed of said developments wouldnt be slow. Her brother didnt mistreat the denizens, so they didnt give her grief. Previously, the anthropoids of the North were ruled by elves. All that happened was a new ruler took the reins, which was essentially changing one personnel. Hence, they didnt mind as long as the change didnt affect their lives.


    What did the North need? What sort ofnd did the North need? What was the developmental result her brother desire? Was the North looking to be a food manufacturing region or rely on agriculture for its economy? How many factories did he want? What system was the North to adapt?


    Her brother left her a piece ofnd that didnt have anything. He didnt tell her a thing. Logically speaking, he shouldve known the North better than she did, and her brother shouldve been the one making the decisions. Freya faced countless issues, but she was still genuinely happy. In fact, she was very eager to handle said issues, as he was always by her sidest time when they worked on getting Troy City off the ground.


    He had to go out with her when he tackled the jobs. That meant that they could walk together across the North. It also meant shed get to sleep with her brother. She could use the cold as an excuse to hug her brother, and nobody would snatch her brother from her during that time.


    <em>If I can be with His Majesty. If I can hug him and sleep on his chest in the freezing cold, then he might hug me and even kiss me. Maybe, maybe His Majesty will treat me the way he treats the Princess.</em>


    Freya was aware of where she stood. She was no different to Luna when she was with the church. She managed to escape from the dreadful fate thanks to her brother. Still, she was very eager to be able to do that sort of thing with her brother.


    <em>Surely it would make me feel very happy to be able to do that with the man I like</em>


    She knew it would make her happy after seeing the way Nier smiled with pleasure daily


    Freya tightly hugged her dog. Aforementioned dog was Prince, who once made a major contribution. He was the only thing that could console her in her brothers absence. She tightly hugged her dog. Prince looked at his owner with puzzlement and then licked her face.


    Prince When do you think His Majesty will kiss me, like this?


    Huh? Miss Freya, what did you say?


    He, who doesnt want to speak with you andcks the patience to, will throw you something strange. In this case, it was a physical dog.


    Prince hit Gerald in the head hard. Gerald got flustered as he tried to catch Prince, who was on his head, which then caused Prince to fluster, so he nearly bit Geralds ear. Freya stood up and with a red face, shouted, You purposely eavesdropped on me, didnt you?!! Gerald! Why do you always overhear me when I think about His Majesty?!!


    No! No! No! Miss Freya, I did not clearly hear what you just said. Were you talking about something to do with His Majesty?


    Gerald ced Prince down on the ground, and then Prince fearfully ran off.


    Princes owner didnt like him. He had seen through the evil and sinister woman. He wasnt a pet to her. He was just a weapon she threw out at crucial moments, not to mention dangerous ones!!


    No!


    Freya red at him, and then covered her red cheeks. I was thinking about when His Majesty would return to the North. I was just slightly looking forward to his return.


    Geralds intuition told him that wasnt the case, but his survival instincts told him to not ask any further. In the end, he decided to obey his survival instincts.


    The Princess is not too well, though, right? We have not received any news from Miss Lucia in so long, so she must be unwell. Further, His Majesty has not sent any letters from the elvennds. It seems that Miss Lucias condition is bad enough that His Majesty cannot leave. That is why His Majesty and the Princess will probably not be able toe here.


    Freya snorted. Yes, but I think that His Majesty will definitelye to the North. Also, His Majesty definitely wants to bring Lucia here to the North. Although Miss Lucia probably really needs His Majesty right now, Miss Nier would get very sad if he stayed by Lucias side all the time. Her Highness will definitely take that into consideration. Thats why I called Miss Nier toe here. His Majesty will definitelye to the North.


    I see. So you had Miss Niere here, not because you wanted to give her a safe and peaceful environment, but to get His Majesty toe here?! We are not bothered by the cold, but what happens if something happens to Miss Nier because of the cold?!


    Nothing will happen! It wont be that cold here! Freya looked at Gerald extremely unhappily. He basically hit the nail that shouldnt have been hit on the head. Freya got up and stood akimbo then peered at the mountain outside. Her small stature virtually looked taller than therge mountain. She angrily eximed, If blowing up one hole isnt enough, Ill blow up the entire mountain! I would level the North if thats what it took to bring my Onii-sama here!


    <strong>Glossary</strong>


    *The original literal trantion of He, who doesnt want to speak with you andcks the patience to, will throw you something strange. Is They dont want to talk to you, and they threw you a dog (to tell you to get lost). Where dog actually means an object, so it was used as a pun here, but Im bad with English puns. Its a meme in China.
