Kapitel 121: Offer

"Now, if I may be so bold, could I ask you for a favor, Cian?" Princess Christina inquired, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"A favor?" Cian was a bit puzzled by the request, wondering what the princess could want from him.

"Yes, a favor. But before I tell you, let me express my gratitude for your help in saving Freya from the alleged kidnapping."

"Kidnapped, huh?" Cian mused, aware that the news about Freya being kidnapped was a cover-up for a more sinister truth. He knew that Freya had been betrayed by her own father, who had sold her off, making the kidnapping story a falsehood. However, as Christina was unaware of this, she thanked him for his presumed heroism. "Well, it's not that big of a deal. To be honest, I didn't really save her. I merely gave her some assistance."
