"Bailey, come in." A deep voice came from behind the door.

Howard answered, pushing the door open.

The baron was still seated in his seat, and took a sip of the drink in his glass, the coolness of the mint shook his spirits, and he looked up at the stout man standing by the door and pointed to the seat next to him.

"You probably shouldn't just reject Berta's takeover, after all, they still have some power in it besides money." Howard sat down and frowned.

"Hmm... I know it's going to be unnecessary, but that's something I have to refuse... Recently I got a small message from an old friend in Candia that there seems to be a large purchase of armor and heavy crossbows from Berta. The baron did not respond directly to Howard's words, but stood up and squinted slightly and said something else.

"Huh?" Howard's eyes froze, "You mean, Berta thinks she has the strength to challenge Castle Green?" ”

"No, he doesn't have that qualifications yet... I'm afraid there was something else going on with those armor and weapons... And if you want to buy iron ore at this time, if Berta wants to do something to my Green family..."The baron's voice was cold. "I don't mind letting him taste the pain of losing a child again."

"Since you say that, I've been itching a lot lately." Howard heard the baron's murderous words, and smiled slightly to show his snow-white teeth.

"By the way, I heard that this afternoon, Olisses was humiliated by Freya, as if it was because of Eric..."

“… I knew about that, and before she knew it, Freya was almost fifteen years old, and it seemed that she had reached the age when she was starting to grow. Speaking of Freya, a warm smile hung on the baron's cold face, "It's like her mother..."

"Do you remember Wen Li... It's been so many years. I remember the two of you at the time—" Howard smiled, as if he had thought of something, and put away his smile, and for a moment both of them fell silent.

"Alright, let's go see Freya." The baron clapped his hands and turned to walk out of the study.

"......" Howard looked at the back of the baron in silence, sighed slightly, and poured the drink on the table into his mouth, the cold bitterness of the mint filled his taste buds, and for a while the strong stimulation made his brain stop thinking about anything......

Low, heavy breathing could be heard clearly even by the four guards walking behind him.

Olisses walked without saying a word, his red eyes reflected a hateful gaze in the candlelight of the corridor, his face that was not ugly became extremely hideous at the moment because of the anger in his heart, and the bruised tendons on his forehead made the guards behind him worry about whether his young master would bleed in the next second.

"Death—" a low, hoarse voice roared from his throat like a murmur, and Olisses clenched his fists and nails even if they stabbed his palms without noticing.

"You're all going to die, you're all going to die...", the voice gradually became louder, and Olisses's low-level psychological element zhì could no longer bear the stimulation twice a day, and finally gradually burst out.

He had never been so provocative and ignored since he was a child, and his angry head kept spinning with the figures of Freya and the Baron.

"That woman... And her father... I'm going to torture over and over again... Torture!!! Before he knew it, Olysses roared out loud the thoughts in his heart.

If Olysses had been on Earth, it might have been possible to find out that he was in a state of mania that is medically known as 'mania'.

"Young Master... We are now in Grimm Castle......." Seeing Olisses, who was behaving extremely abnormally, the guards behind him hurriedly spoke out to reassure him.

"Even in Grimm Castle ?!!!" Perhaps reassuring him had the opposite effect, Olisses jerked to look at his guards with reddened eyes, anger almost pouring out from his eyes.

"Even if the baron stands in front of me! How dare he kill me??? He jerked his arm out and pointed into the distance.

And this happened to be the case of a girl who had just entered the hallway and was wearing a power hunting suit.

“……？” Freya, who was thinking about something, looked up sharply, and Olisses' hideous face and fingers made her stunned.

Olysses, who was still in a state of anger, was also stunned.

But when he saw that familiar face, the anger in his heart suddenly turned into substance.

"Kill!"

With a ruthless heart, he suddenly pulled out the long sword on his waist and stabbed straight forward, as if he wanted to directly pierce the girl in front of him on the spot.

The icy sword light struck quickly.

This sudden change made Freya's scalp tingle, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart, as if some sharp thorn had pierced her eyebrows, cold and tingling.

Before she had time to think about it, she slammed sideways and threw herself aside with all her strength.

'Bell!! ’

The sound of sharp objects colliding with stones echoed through the hallway.

The long sword stabbed against the stone wall, and the strong shock made it almost impossible for Olisses to grasp the sword in his hand, but when he saw the girl who was dodging the wolf, there was a hint of fierceness in his angry eyes, and he almost didn't think about slashing it again.

The four guards behind him also woke up suddenly, and for such a terrible provocation by Olysses, several of them were so frightened that they immediately rushed over and tried to take the weapon from his hand.

'Isn't this guy crazy??? ’

With a pale face, Freya looked at Olisses who was slashing at her again, quickly backed away and turned to run away.

'Even if you were humiliated before, you wouldn't have committed murder on the spot at Grimm Castle? Isn't this guy afraid that the baron will kill him directly? ’

Although she guessed Olysses's abnormal behavior in her mind, when she felt that the man in front of her really wanted to kill her, this second experience of facing death made her subconsciously feel great fear. This is an instinct that comes from the human body.

Freya discovers that even though she can kill her prey ruthlessly, even if she has perfected her swordsmanship, all she can do now is escape...

After all, before the crossing, she was just an ordinary person, and the fear in her heart when she was in danger of life made her instinctively run away.

"Hahaha, run, run! Damn it! I'll let you know what happened if you provoked me!! Olisses, who looked already crazy, ignored the guards behind him who were blocking him, and wanted to dismantle the girl in front of him who had humiliated him.
