"Freya, what's the matter, why are you here, didn't Andre arrange for you to go to Kent City this morning?"

The warm, large hand dragged on Freya's wrist, causing her muscles to contract, and Freya knew it was the body's instinctive reaction to Howard.

"I was attacked on the way, and Saladin's soldiers did it!" Quietly pulling it out of Howard's hand, Freya said calmly.

"What!? Are you serious? ”

Shocked by what Freya said, Howard looked stern.

"Hmm!" Freya nodded affirmatively, "I know some of Saladin's accents, and the way those people do behave like soldiers." ”

"......" Howard looked at Freya thoughtfully, as if to make sure that what Freya said was true, and then he waved his hand and shouted a command to the soldiers behind him.

"Prepare the horses! Escort Miss Freya back to the castle as fast as you can! ”

One of the soldiers was ordered to quickly turn his horse's head around and go back to prepare the wagon.

And Howard looked at the fourteen-year-old girl in front of him with a somewhat gloomy face, and his voice was a little hoarse and dignified.

"If it's really Saladin's people, maybe we'll be annoyed, I still need to guard the iron mine here to prevent Berta's soldiers from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, you can go back and tell Sù Andre the news."

This matter is not only for Castle Green but also for the Byron Empire, which is an explosive event, and if one is not handled well, it is even in danger of destroying the country.

Looking at Howard, whose face was solemn, Freya nodded, no matter how things develop next, the most important thing at the moment is to let the high-ranking personnel of the Byron Empire know about it.

Soon, a sturdy carriage drawn by four black war horses drove quickly.

Without many words, Freya quickly jumped into the carriage with Avery who was still out of strength, and after greeting Howard, quickly disappeared into the road.

The carriage dragged by four horses at the same time was no less than the speed of a single horse, and after only half an hour, it finally arrived at Grimm Castle.

Leaving Eli to the castle's physician, Freya went straight to the servant after asking the minions where the baron was.

The baron's dedicated study on the second floor.

At the sound of hurried footsteps, Freya, who was in tatters scraped by weeds and branches in the woods, hurried to the door of the study and knocked lightly.

"Father, it's me."

"Come in!" The baron's deep voice came from inside.

Freya pushed the door open, and the baron, dressed in red civilian clothes, sat at his desk by candlelight, holding a quill in his hand, as if he had just written something.

When she saw Freya, who was miserable, she suddenly got up from her seat. "What happened?"

The man walked quickly to Freya with a stern face, quickly and carefully examined her body, and asked only when he found that he had only suffered a few abrasions. "Father, I was at the junction of the Tongguò iron ore mine when I was attacked, and I presume it was Saladin's soldiers!"

Feeling the baron's concerned eyes, Freya reached out and took out the silver medal that she had touched from her arms, and said calmly.

"What? Saladin!? The baron's eyes froze slightly, and he took the medal that Freya handed over.

By the orange-yellow candlelight, the silver medal reflects the image of a lion on the front, with a row of text underneath.

"Awarded to Colt. Dean? The baron frowned and read softly the handwriting.

"Sure enough, it's Saladin's thing, you mean you met it at the intersection of iron mines?" Knowing the severity of the matter, the baron once again confirmed to Freya.

"Yes, it was on the main road not far from Berta's territory, and the soldiers were disguised as robbers, as if they wanted to hide their identities, and I took the opportunity to escape while Werther was negotiating with them, and fortunately I met a hunter in the woods, and I arrived at the territory under his escort." Freya says what she made up in the second half.

You must know that she was just an ordinary girl some time ago, if you don't say that, then there is no way to explain the reason why she has become so strong in such a short period of time.

And in the Iron Ore Zone, although Howard saw only Freya and the others in the woods, it was the Saladin invasion that mattered to such small details.

Sure enough, the baron didn't care about Freya's words, he stroked the medal in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This kind of invasion of neighboring countries can be big or small, but once it involves Berta's recent whereabouts, the baron's heart is full of questions.

The baron carefully considered his words and slowly addressed Freya.

"Freya, who else knows about this but me?"

"Uncle Howard and Ellie know that too."

"Ellie?." The baron looked at Freya suspiciously, and after thinking for a moment, he said with a slight sternness.

"Although it is still early for you, I think you also have the right to know about this matter, Saladin's soldiers are in Berta's territory, I think the Belta clan may have been rebelled against Saladin's people... There's a good chance they'll want to use the iron ore as a landing site to invade here, led by Grimm's territory..."

Freya looked at the baron's serious and strict expression, although she had guessed and probably understood some of the things inside, but the narration of the baron guò also suddenly understood the stern nature of the matter, the invasion was not just a simple battle between the two armies, which may become a battlefield for the first Grimm territory, and if the people living here knew about the disaster in advance, then...

Looking at his daughter, who bowed his head thoughtfully, the baron paused and continued.

"This matter will have such a big impact on the people of my Grimm Territory that there will be the possibility of riots, so I don't want anyone else to know about this until the Empire has not sent troops! Do you understand? ”

"......" Freya was slightly stunned, and suddenly she thought of something, and said, "Father, you want to take Eli..."

Looking at his daughter's expression, the baron habitually rubbed her hair, and the coldness in his eyes slowly softened.

"I won't do anything to that maid, it's just house arrest, but if that maid is not strict-mouthed..."

"I know, I'll sue her personally!" Knowing the baron's concession, Freya hurried.

"Okay, you go back and rest first, and I'll take care of the rest." The baron smiled.

"Thank you, father." Freya gave the baron a grateful look, then turned to leave the room.
