Beautiful Thief And The King
Not Stupid

Cristina's desire to return to America made the palace surprised. Norman's mother and her father were very happy because Norman had gotten a wife candidate of course not terika because now, the, norman's future wife was about to leave the palace because she could not stand the many rules she had to learn.

Of course it's natural, though, everyone probably thought that life in the palace was very pleasant but in fact not especially for a cloud person like Cristina who was not born from a noble family and did not know the manners of the palace. It took a dozen years for a future queen to prepare herself to become the perfect future queen then what about Cristina who is an ordinary person?

Norman understood him, now he knew why his brother had fled the palace and became a commoner. He had already felt it, being an ordinary folk was very pleasant. He felt freedom, he felt more alive because all this time he had to live under a lot of rules that he should not break but that was the destiny he had, he said, he was born by a king and queen and automatically he was the one who had to replace them.

"What does this mean, Norman? Why would he just leave?" ask mother.

"Just let him go, Mom," Norman replied casually.

"What's? Why could that be?" ask her mother again.

"I brought her back to make her queen but she couldn't follow the rules of the palace so I wouldn't prevent it. Before anyone knows, it's better to leave. Anyway I don't want to force it to make you even more disappointed."

"I'm sorry, I thought life in the palace was so much fun that I was willing to follow Norman let alone be made queen. I thought being the queen would be a lot of fun but I didn't expect that I would have to undergo a lot of very strenuous and exhausting training. I don't know if I have to follow a lot of rules to be a queen. Cloud people like me are really inappropriate and unworthy" Cristina said.

"So you followed Norman just for a try?" ask Norman's father.

"No, it's not that."

"Dad, if he can't afford it better not to force. Being a queen is not easy" said Vanila who had listened.

"You shouldn't just take a woman home, Norman!" his father shouted angry.

Norman looked at the terrified Cristina, would Freya also end up like Cristina later? Freya's nature is always arbitrary and always opposed, there will not be a single palace rule that will be followed by Freya later let alone he is a person who loves freedom.

Now he feels that Freya will not feel at home like Cristina especially if she has to undergo so many rules and learn so many things because like Cristina, Freya is also a cloud person who has to start learning from 0 if she is willing to be his queen. It seemed like he had guessed, what answer would Freya give if she asked Freya to be his wife.

"Just let her go, I'll find a better queen!" said Norman.

"In that case we should have a party to determine your queen candidate and this time you should find a candidate from among the nobles, not from ordinary people who cannot learn manners and the many rules that must be obeyed as a queen who will accompany you as the king of this palace!" his father said, glancing towards the palace.

"Can you give me some time?" pinta Norman's.

"No, Norman. Your time to play is over. Everyone's been waiting for you to give them a queen so don't delay let alone you've got to give an heir. Look carefully for your future wife from a noble princess and remember one thing, ordinary people are not suitable to be your companion so learn from mistakes!" said father.

Norman did not answer, which his father said is very true. He knew that he bore great responsibility as a new king and that he should not disappoint the people and his family.

"Mom, Dad, give Norman a little more time" Vanila said. She could see if her brother wanted to wait for a woman named Freya.

"The time to play is up, honey. He was a king, he could not plan to make decisions. How could he lead an empire if he took so long to make a decision for himself? We know that your brother can definitely take the best course of action for himself!" said their mother.

Vanila could not say anything more, what her mother said was very true. Norman was a king so he had to immediately make the right decision for himself. Norman looked towards Cristina while thinking about the decision he should take.

Both of their parents are gone, believing Noman can make the right decision. Vanila approached her brother and rubbed his shoulders, she was sure it must be heavy but her brother had to remember his position.

"What do you do, brother? You don't have much time. What Daddy and Mommy said was so true, it's time you got serious."

"I know" Norman said.

"Take him back to America!" Norman ordered two of his men who were there.

"I'll give you some news if Miss comes back" Cristina said.

"No need, Cristina. I was worried about him but it didn't seem like we were a match. I can only hope he's okay. If he comes back just tell him, if he has time to meet me as a friend. The palace is open to him" Norman said.

"Thank you, Mister. I'm very grateful for the help you gave me and I represent Miss Freya to thank you" Cristina said.

"No, I'm the one who should thank him."

Norman's gaze was empty as Cristina left, Vanila rubbed her brother's shoulder so Norman turned and smiled faintly.

"Are you sure of your decision?" ask Vanila.

"Yeah, looks like we weren't meant to be a matchmaker from the start. Although short but the memories we created together will never be forgotten. I'm sure she won't want to be my queen because Freya is a freedom freeman. I just wish we could meet again someday as best friends" Norman said.

"Well if that's what you want but decide well before you regret the decision you've made!" after saying so, Vanila stepped away leaving Norman.

Norman was in the room for a moment and after that he stepped away, He had already made up his mind because he could not ignore his responsibilities as a king. She couldn't wait too long either because she had promised to find a empress after her vacation was over and it was time to fulfill the promise she made herself.

It was a fun holiday and an experience he never forgot, maybe the experience he had with Freya he would tell his grandchildren later and he would always remember if there was a woman named Freya who had been present in his life and who had been gives pleasure and meaning to life and teaches himself to do many things.
