Chapter 522 - v3c300
After the knot in her heart was untied, she easily managed everything. Even Brendel was relieved to see her so headstrong and resilient again. He may have liked the helpless looking princess back then, but compared to her now, she was far more alluring.
That’s most likely because she fits the image I’ve had of her.
But Brendel didn’t let his guard down. Although the princess might be temporarily uplifted, for now, it did not change the fact that they were still in a very difficult situation. And at least before the preparations were ready, Brendel knew she still had one more problem in mind…
He did not intend to speak up but he was waiting for someone else to raise the question. Oberwei was attentive and Maynild wasn’t stupid either. There’s no need for him to be a smart aleck.
And when Brendel looked over, he was fascinated by Maynild. She was just standing there silently, releasing an aura that was familiar to him.
Familiar but yet unfamiliar.
The room was quiet for a moment. Maynild naturally felt the gaze of the young man staring at her, but every time she looked at him, she would see him avert his eyes quickly.
Freya felt admiration. After all, most girls were weak towards romantic topics. Not to mention how noble Sir Benninger’s act was for him to willingly betray his family for his love.
That was a story that only existed in novels.
Brendel could not help himself observing this War Goddess who had revealed her cute side. For some reason, he felt that he could only be himself and relax in front of Romaine and Freya.
Freya was also someone who was willing to sacrifice anything for her ideals like Sir Benninger. And now that he was also working to save the Kingdom and everyone in it, it seemed like they were the same too.
Except that Brendel was working to fix the timeline.
Freya turned around and was shocked by his expression, “ Is there something on my face?”
“No… no.” Brendel shook his head immediately.
“Why hasn’t Princess Magadal come out yet?” Freya impatiently asked…
Brendel looked at the time, She should arrive right about now.. He lifted his head to look at the cathedral’s back door… but there was no one there. He frowned. People would normally be on time during meetups like this… Unless a situation arose.
Plus Princess Magadal was not a careless person.
He suddenly felt anxious.
“Is there something wrong, Brendel?” Freya asked when she noticed his unease.
“It is past the appointed time,” Brendel answered.
She frowned slightly, “Could it be… that Princess Magadal is in trouble?”
“It is possible,” Brendel said. He could only give it a guess.
“What should we do now?” Freya asked concernedly.
Brendel frowned. He could have taken the ship’s portrait anytime. But in actual fact, he was here to discuss the contents of the letter that the newly installed Archbishop Moros handed to Wood. Even though he could have easily guessed it, he wanted to have confirmation with Magadal.
The safest thing to do was to leave now. But Brendel felt uneasy. If he were to leave without a word, it would be like a betrayal to Princess Magadal who might be in trouble in the Anderla Cathedral.
It was just like abandoning his own comrade, which he loathed more than anything else.
“Brendel, should we go in and look for her?” Freya asked with a frail voice. “ Magadal is a good friend of the princess…”
“How do you plan on going in?”
“I don’t know. But still, we can give it a try, can’t we? There must be a way to do so.”
Such naivety. It seems like she still hasn’t changed that much Brendel shook his head and said, “Nevermind.” But before Freya could glare at him, he added, “Ah! I know. Come follow me-”.
