Chapter 131: Freya's Thoughts
85_85536 Lying on the big bed in Circassburg, the pillow is a swan feather pillow, the tweed mattress is underneath, and the body is covered with a velvet quilt. At the same time, the bed is surrounded by four pillars made of ivory that connect to the foot of the bed, and a blue silk curtain hanging from above......
Freya von Hereford was lying on one such bed. Turn your head to look at the oak floors around you, the wool carpets imported from the southern Ottomans, and the intricately carved tables and chairs with sleek edges, copper trim and openwork reliefs. Looking at the glass window with pine frames, looking at the bright moon and stars outside the window, Freya was a little distracted for a while. Some are overwhelmed and unclear.
Originally, although she had also thought that her brother and her family could not just stay in a corner of Hereford and be a reserve with "great potential".
It's like a spring that keeps pressing downward, and the longer it is ready to go, the more power it explodes when it rises.
Although at the age of twelve or thirteen, Freya left her family and joined the Order. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a low sense of identity with the Hereford family. In fact, it's the opposite.
It is precisely because she gets together less with her family and is more away from her family that Freya's feelings for the Hereford family are stronger than others. Seeing that her family had made such great progress, she naturally felt happy in her heart.
Of course, in addition to joy and joy, there was in her heart no less surprise than joy.
As a member of the Hereford family, she knows the specific process of the family's rise. Duke Otto passed the letter to her in its original form.
It made her feel incredible.
Although she didn't think that her brother would lie to her. But because of this matter, it is really beyond her imagination.
William, a child, she hadn't seen before. In Freya's impression, he was a child who rarely spoke, was very introverted, and seemed a little gloomy. In this respect, he is very similar to his father's temperament. It's just that because he doesn't have the strength of Duke Otto, he has suffered a lot in the process of communicating with others.
This made William's heart not only gloomy, but also a little angry.
It seems that such a child, Freya is very worried, she thinks that if William keeps this state, then he will most likely not be able to inherit the entire Hereford family as a qualified heir.
It's just that it's not too easy to say. Although she is also part of the Hereford family. But her organization, the forces to which she belongs, and to whom she is allegiant, are the Gothic Knights. So in a sense, she shouldn't be overly involved in the internal affairs of the Hereford family.
This is also what Freya is distressed about. She didn't want to get into a bad relationship with her brother Otto because of something like this. So usually, she only vaguely hints at it in cryptic words, but not directly.
But it didn't make much difference. Duke Otto's intelligence is above the standard though. But if the subject was his son, then he would not have heard the strange hints in Freya's words under the influence of preconceived notions.
This left Freya helpless. At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Freya values Charlumi. In her opinion, Freya, who is much better than William in talent and personality, is obviously more suitable than William to be the next head of the Hereford family.
But the reality is not like this.
William's achievements in the past two years have completely overturned her inherent preconceptions about William. And in the sight of the new 2. After the 47th version of William, she also completely believed that William did have the ability to make this qiē.
Although many people say that people should not look good, it has to be said that the first impression brought by appearance is very important in many cases.
The image of William draped in armor completely overlapped with Freya's previous impression of Duke Otto's youth. And it was at that time that Freya left the Hereford family. Therefore, she has the deepest impression of Duke Otto of that era. And because of the impressedness, coupled with the fact that people usually subconsciously beautify the things they like in the past, and at the same time, after experiencing a love change, Duke Otto's personality became sad and lost his enterprising spirit. The contrast is even more stark......
The superposition of these conditions made Freya miss Duke Otto of that era very much, and even said...... Love.
It was also in this context that Freya saw William. It was almost the same as her over-embellished memory, the young Duke of Otto, the man who detonated Freya's girlish feelings in an instant.
And in the ensuing conversation, Freya also understood that William was only similar in appearance to Duke Otto - this was not to say that William was inferior to him. On the contrary, Duke Otto's weakness in politics and economy, as well as in terms of power and strategy, was always criticized by Freya. But when facing William, Freya couldn't help but feel very shallow and ignorant.
William had more knowledge than she could have imagined. His abilities are also more powerful than Freya imagined. He was even more perfect than the much-glorified Duke Otto of his youth, which Freya had in mind.
"How can there be such a powerful and perfect young man in this world?" Freya thought to herself:
"It's just beyond imagination, beyond imagination. Thankfully, he was in our family. With him, the rise of the Hereford family is doomed and inevitable. ”
Thinking of this, Freya's mood was very rippling. This "rippling mood" is not just because her family is about to rise, or has already risen. It's even more because of William himself.
In more than ten years of knighthood in the Order, Freya has barely touched love.
Although in the conversation with William, the life of a knight she talked about seemed to be very exciting and very interesting. But if you think about it, you can see it. As a knight of the Gothic Order, their life was absolutely monotonous.
Fight, travel, fight, escort pilgrims, fight, escort caravans with refugees, fight, fight against enemies, fight against infidels, fight against orcs, fight against nobles, fight against enemy nations...... In addition to fighting, marching. Aside from the rest between battles, there was basically nothing else to do.
Perhaps these battles will feel fresh when they are taken out individually. But if such a battle arises dozens, if not hundreds. And if it lasts for more than ten years, then there will be no other feeling than boredom and mechanization.
More than ten years of life in Rongma have allowed Freya to gain status, strength, and wealth. However, the emptiness and loneliness in her heart are increasing day by day.
She has also seen many colleagues who can't bear this loneliness. Some people indulge like crazy when they are resting, so as to relax their minds.
There are also people who have maintained this kind of poor life. But when they can't bear it, they will do even more crazy and even criminal acts - most of these people will fall and be punished with death if they are discovered.
Of course, there are also those who have been able to maintain this tense life all the time. But they usually all have some quirks. Some people are extremely obsessed with music, others are very fond of painting and art. Some people like to collect stamps, while others like to collect treasures and wealth...... These people are already relatively normal. Others are even more bizarre, even almost unacceptable, but not criminal quirks, and Freya has not never seen them.
So, for a while, Freya wondered if she should find something extra to do. How about giving yourself a little solace?
It's just a pity. She doesn't have any special hobbies, special likes, or special attachments. Although there are some interests, but only on the hobbyists, the shallow taste of Cheng dù.
Her life is like this, like a pool of stagnant water. Only now, this stagnant pool has changed because of William's appearance—very intense, very violent, very huge...... Variation.
"Why is there such a perfect boy in this world?" Freya thought to herself. She pondered the time she and William met during the day and parted at night. Every movement, every expression, every word of William's words, she remembered it firmly, and then it appeared in front of her little by little.
"Really, really......" Freya's brain was so excited that she didn't feel sleepy at all. She just hugged the pillow and rolled around and around on the bed. Thinking of William in her heart, she felt beautiful - she seemed to have found something that could support her, that she could use as a hobby, and strive to pursue it.
That is, a feeling.
And so the night passed, and she rolled around in bed until she turned white in the east. Only then did she realize that she had been so distraught and excited all night.
"It's dawn. Freya propped herself up from the bed, then muttered to herself as she looked at the whiteness of the fish belly in the east.
She was a little sad. Because she had just thought of a very bad thing. That's between her and William, it's like, I'm afraid, that nothing can come of it
