Freya: The Emperor's Daughter
Ch. 05: Authenticity 03

The fun ended, now back to the beginning, after school at noon, I immediately did the tasks that had piled up outside my room. Honestly, I thought about giving up. But when I saw my family who had high hopes for me, I couldn't give up. I have to be excited for both of them!

Besides being able to master political science, of course I also strengthen my magic secretly. During a short break, I often thought of magic theories to refresh my brain.

Not only did I think about it, I also dabbled in the magic I was thinking about until I forgot about the task given to me.

I only realized that I had been resting too long when Yuna broke through my bedroom door to give me a little snack.

"Sorry can't help you, Freya."

"Not really, besides, with you I can talk to, I'm getting excited about getting my chores done right away."

"All right, that's it, Princess. If there's anything, just send telepathy to me."

Yuna immediately ran away in a hurry after I started planning bad things against her. Duh, he must have sharpened his instincts.

Yes, let's get back to work!

*****

"Wah-wah, the woman who tried to become a successor to the emperor's throne. I'm disappointed, even though you look like a man, all that changes is your hair. You're still a girl" a blonde-haired teenage boy, 3 years older than me. And, he was trying to insult me huh?

"Wah-wah, what's up, sister Fernasn!?", Fernasn Von Zerecia. My cousin-in-law. He was either my aunt's son or my father's sister.

His status is still the highest noble however, since I am the heir to the throne yet female, he could have been promoted to the successor of the throne if I really raise my hand.

I can't relax until I become the heir to the throne!

"What did you say? Huh... You are so innocent huh? Freya's cousin. I'm pretty sure you know my true intentions of coming to this place again, "right, a woman has to live with her lover somewhere. And my aunt left the palace after her husband had a successful business with which my aunt could survive some day. They left the palace when I was 5 years old. In other words, they left the palace when Kak Fernasn was 8 years old.

"Come on, we don't need weak men. Heh, it's funny to hear a weak man belittling a woman who has defeated him in the past, "that is, we've fought swords when I was under the age of five! 4.5 Years if not wrong. Losing to a small child, of course, he was very embarrassed and intended to take revenge today.

"Let's replay!"

"No problem. Is there a need for a bet, too, kakanda?"

"Good, I love you. Let's bet the imperial throne on our game!"

"It cannot be, O foolish sister."

"Well?!"

"I risked the throne of the emperor which is precious to me but you did not risk anything of value to you either. Isn't this unfair, kakanda?"

"Cih, okay. You like girls, don't you? I'll give you a fresh slave."

"Sir, you're very lucky to still have ties to the empire. If you buy slaves without your dependence on the empire, then you will be in danger!"

"What the hell is it... How?!!"

"Look, let's make this match be, who loses must obey 3 times the request, and become a slave all day for someone who wins. How's it?"

"Are you sure of your words just now?"

"certain. Despite this, I have a nice body, Kakanda~."

After the two of us agreed on his agreement, we prepared in our respective positions. Before that, we went to the vast warrior training ground so that we could fight freely.

"Prepare to die of shame, Freya?"

"Wah-wah, kakanda so big mouth huh, as long as it's away from the palace?"

*3nd POV*

Fernasn darted with a wooden sword in his right hand, slashing Freya without hesitation but Freya managed to dodge Fernasn's attack perfectly.

In the second attack, Freya managed to avoid Fernasn's sword stab which was only focused on winning regardless of the rules of the duel.

Normally, duel matches are conducted with a three-round system. Any player who falls or exits the arena, is considered to lose in one round.

However, the duel carried out by Freya with her cousin's sister, was not a normal duel in general but, a duel between life and death. The wooden sword they used instead looked like a wooden sword to the two of them.

They both saw the wooden sword like a sword with a sharp blade that could cut anything. Therefore, both managed to fend off or attack well.

"You've grown up huh, Kakanda?", Freya took a little pause.

"What's wrong? Is it just this much you are capable of?", despite being breathless, Fernasn still hasn't given up!

"No, it's all just warming up."

"Well?!"

After saying that, Freya dashed quickly like teleporting from one place to another.

"You?!", Fernasn was surprised by Freya's invisible movements with her eyes on the head.

"Being my slave will torment you a lot, Kakanda," with a smile, Freya said so excitedly towards Fernasn.

Freya enjoyed every second she spent practicing swordplay with a formidable foe. For Freya, this kind of condition could improve her abilities though, it was already unable to be improved anymore.

"Let's!" Fernasn shouted loudly while swinging his wooden sword upwards to throw Freya's sword stuck on his wooden sword.

"Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to try to throw away my sword."

"Khhkk?!"

"Well, I won!"

Then, Freya slashed at Fernasn heartlessly until her cousin's brother was thrown quite far away from where it was originally.

"You know? 3 less actual requests. I have so many real requests."

"Si--- shit...."

"You want me to give your servant a slave?!"

"No no, not a slave anymore if he's already under my protection."

"Huh?!"

"The bottom line is, I want the girl to have a talking partner. I want him to not just serve me every second. There were times for him to rest and play with a friend. Know it? Yuna looked bored as she waited for me to finish my chores."

"Ah.... Okay, then, two more?"

"I want you to find information about the Demon Queen."

"Demon queen? Why are you suddenly talking like that?"

"Have it!", I hit Fernasn who was still in pain because my slash was too strong.

"Last of all, I want you to find me the materials I need. We'll talk in my room."

"Hmm, okay."

"Then, don't forget if you've been my slave all day."

"Kuh.. yep-yes, you little prick!"

"Fufu, I'm glad, you haven't changed despite being the second candidate of heir to the throne."

"Don't bacot much, Freya. Besides, I can't beat a woman, who can take care of an empire. Let alone the empire, I would still hesitate if given the responsibility of taking care of a village."

"By the way, when are you getting married? Rather than flirting with your cousin's blood sister, you better find another established girl!"

"Yes-yes..."

Then the two of us went into my room, I told Yuna to wait at the door so that no one would enter the room until my conversation with Kakanda Fernasn was over.

If someone was going to enter my room, Yuna would telepathically send me and I would stop talking.

That's system. I don't want anyone to interfere with my plans!

"Iron ore, diamonds, dragon scales, teak, nickel, and gold, in bulk? What do you want to do?", of course he asked about something that is quite difficult to get.

"Make the strongest weapon."

"Huh?"

"Listen yes, Kakanda, I want to make the strongest weapon because I'm trying to pry information about the Demon Queen. In case he comes to finish me off, at least I can fight desperately against him."

"You crazy?!"

"You can say."

"Freya.", he was worried about me.

"Just calm down, brother. I'll be fine. I have a lot of goals. There's no way I'm giving up just because something seems impossible to do."

"...."

Then, our meeting was over and I continued to work on the task. Before that, I called out to Yuna to accompany me during my stint.

—a few days later, Fernasn came with the item I wanted. In just a matter of weeks, Fernasn was able to find everything I wanted.

Including, a friend for Yuna.

"Woah, I don't think you're so naughty, are you, Kakanda?"

"Do you want to hit?"

"Handering~"

"Myline. That is my name, from today I will devote my body and my freedom to you, Freya Von Cellescia."

Her appearance is like a girl aged 14-15 years, her body is slim, I think she is malnourished. Bright red eyes, and purplish black hair.

He also has a fairly long canine teeth, I had thought he was from the vampire race but, indeed vampires can survive the sun?

"He's from a special vampire race, completely fresh and untouched at all. You want a slave with such criteria, don't you?", Fernasn asked me.

"Sure~"

"Myline. From now on you won't have to use that chain necklace.." When I was about to remove the chain necklace that bound him, he rebelled and just took off the chain.

"I like to wear something around my neck..."

"Hmm, but if you do, you'll look weird. All right, what if I buy you accessories?"

"What's not a hassle?"

"No. I'll be happy if you're happy."

"You're really good. Even though you're a man...."

"Yups!", it feels strange to be called a man....

"She's a girl!", while I was trying to keep my secret, Fernasn suddenly hit me in the head saying that I'm a girl! It's cruel, isn't it? He will soon be my second toy!

"Well..."

"Then, Myline. Welcome to my life, if you can't think of me as an employer but as a friend. Understood?"

"Good!"
