Beautiful Thief And The King
Feeling Useless

With a heavy heart, Norman brought his crying son back to the palace. For this time in his life, Norman desperately wanted to be an ordinary person who could do anything that had to be done without a second thought. He's a king but to protect one woman only he can't afford to.

Everything must be different if he was not a king who had great responsibilities, who could not do anything as he pleased let alone regarding the relationship of two countries. He can help Freya hide, very much so but as Freya says, when the American government finds out he's helping a fugitive, it's going to be a long way to go. The good relations of both countries are threatened and its people who will be the victims of his reckless actions therefore he can only let Freya hide until his good name is restored.

Nicholas was crying incessantly, the new baby could call his mother and keep calling her mother. Norman really felt useless, very useless. Can he be born into an ordinary person? If he hadn't thought of many things he might have hidden Freya like that time but that time and now it was very different and now all he had to do was take good care of his son. He must not disappoint Freya who already trusts him.

Norman tries to calm his son's cries, the condition of his son who uses makes his clothes rough and a little dirty makes him concerned about the life Freya has been living all along. He could also see if Freya was so thin. The circumstances were also as dirty as their son, even Freya's blood soiled their son's clothes.

"Clear off Freya's name immediately, Kendrick. I'll give you two weeks so work well!" norman orders Kendrick but by phone because Kendrick is in America to do his job.

"I'm doing it sir, but they still want Miss Freya because of the criminal acts she's committed!"

"What about me? Did they not look for me?"

"No, they're just after Miss Freya. Looks like your name has been cleared" Kendrick replied and need not be asked, which cleared Norman's name was definitely Freya.

"All right, I want Freya's name to clear up in two weeks' time. The cctv footage is gone, I'm sure they don't have enough evidence so use that to break the testimony of the witnesses who accidentally saw Freya's act!" he believes their actions while taking artifacts in the home of a collector who made Freya as the main suspect, especially they did kill many people there.

"good. Sir. I will do my best and will not disappoint" Kendrick replied.

"So soon do, the sooner the better!" Norman's orders.

Now he can only hope that Kendrick can clear Freya's name quickly so that Freya can he bring her back to the palace and that Freya is accepted by the people and also her family. It must be patient to get happiness because once Freya's name is clean, she will not be accused of helping a fugitive and Freya will be free again.

Norman returned on his private plane, travelling from San Malino to Sweden was quite time consuming. Tired of crying, Nicholas fell asleep. The pickup car was waiting, all shocked to see her holding a baby.

Norman played his hand on his son's tender cheek, is that what it's like to be a father? But unfortunately she has no idea what Freya went through while Freya was pregnant with their child, she had no idea what Freya was going through when Freya gave birth to their baby especially when she was being chased by the authorities.

Both of her parents were shocked to hear that Norman was back with a baby. His mother was the most impatient, so his mother waited and sure enough, Norman returned with a sleeping baby in his carrier.

"Whose baby is that, Norman?" ask mother.

"My son!" answer Norman.

"Don't joke!" shouted his father.

"Why am I joking, he is my son who was born to a great woman and he will be my queen!"

"Where is he? Why are you just bringing your son?" ask mother.

"So much is not possible, Mom. I can't take him along but later, I'll definitely bring him back."

"What's up, Norman? Why does it look so serious?" asked his mother because Norman's expression looked sad.

"For this time, I felt I was useless. Absolutely useless!" said Norman.

"Silence you're an old man!" said his wife cynical so that makes the father speechless.

"Come here, tell me what's going on?" her mother had already stepped closer, as a mother she could see the sadness felt by her son.

"I was too comfortable living in the palace but once I got out, I made a lot of mistakes and what I regret the most is that I couldn't take care of him and help him. I'm so useless!" said Norman.

"Don't blame yourself like that. You are a king therefore you can't act as you please. Even if you want to run but you're not allowed to run because you have a responsibility for that, don't blame yourself like that."

"For the first time in my life, I really want to be a normal person!" said Norman.

"Don't say that and trust Mommy, everything will be fine. You're just being tested, the time has come to take him to the palace and whoever he is, I won't forbid and no one will dare to talk about him!"

"Thank you, Mom. Please give me some time, I'm trying to help her!"

"Good, fight for your love and show your loyalty by waiting for it. Now you're a father and you have a responsibility as a father"

Norman nodded, he indeed had to take care of his son as well as Freya wanted but he wished Kendrick sooner because he wanted the two of them to take care of their son.

"Mommy," the awakened Nicholas calls his mother.

"Mommy's gone, now you're living with Daddy" Norman said.

Nicholas looked at the father he did not know, then he looked at his grandmother whom he did not know. Nicholas' cry was heard because he did not find his mother.

"Mommy... Mommy!" Nicholas rebelled in his father's arms.

"Sttss, don't cry. Don't cry!" entertain Norman.

"Get aside, her crying will stop if she meets her grandfather!" said the father who had stepped closer.

"What can you really do?" ask wife.

"Give me!" Nicholas who was crying in Norman's arms was taken away. Nicholas was still crying while calling his mother even though his grandfather had invited him to play but he was still crying because he did not know those people.

"Two weeks, Freya. Wait for me in two weeks and I'll go pick you up together with our son and at that time, I'll bring you back!" he said in his heart. Norman's eyes still could not be separated from Nicholas who had not cried after seeing the silly actions of his grandfather. His little laugh even sounded especially when his grandfather raised him high.

"Mom, Dad. Please take good care of Nicholas!" pinta Norman's.

"Where are you going?" ask mother.

"Go do what I have to do!" answer Norman. Freya was struggling to escape and hide so now, she was the one who was going to fight for Freya because this time she did not want to just be a spectator.
