32 The Princesses Situation part 3

Princess Freya wanted to leave that place immediately because she sensed that the old man was very dangerous. Since childhood, she has been very sensitive to such feelings. Although there was no malicious intent from the old man, she could feel the need to stay away from that person. But Princess Freya suddenly stopped running after hearing the old man's next words

"You have nothing to fear, Princess Freya. If I wanted to do evil things to you, it would be very easy, and I've been doing it since the first time I met you. I called you because I wanted to give you my prophecy for free. Think of it as fate because you have met me." The old man looked towards Princess Freya. His eyes were soft like a grandfather who loved his granddaughter.

"What do you mean by my destiny? Is that my death? Or something else?" Princess Freya asked fearfully as she approached the old man.

"Not something like that. But about someone who is destined to be your prince in the future." The old man smiled in response to Princess Freya's question.

"My prince? Who is the person destined for me? Is he handsome? Is he strong?" Princess Freya showered the old man with questions. She became excited after hearing that person's words. Princess Freya often reads a love story about a prince and a princess. So when she heard it was related to her prince, she couldn't help but get excited.

"Yes, that's how it is." The old man nodded slightly.

"So what's he like? When am I going to meet him?" Princess Freya keeps interrogating the old man.

"Please calm down, Princess Freya. If you ask what his face looks like, I don't know because I can't see him clearly. How and when you can meet her, you must befriend the silver-haired Princess from the neighboring kingdom. He will lead you to the prince of your destiny." The old man explained to Princess Freya.

"Huh. But how do I recognize him if I don't know his face?" Princess Freya tilted her head, confused at the old man's words.

"You'll find out when you look directly into his eyes." The old man smiled and said nothing else. Princess Freya was still confused by his words and wanted to ask again but was interrupted by someone's voice behind her.

"Princess!" Aryana shouted while running towards her.

"Arya..." Princess Freya was about to ask where she had gone when they separated, but Aryana cut her off first.

"Princess! Are you okay? Where are you? I'm afraid to see you suddenly disappear from my side! I might be sentenced to death if you disappear!" Aryana keeps talking while crying. Princess Freya could see the mixed expression on Aryana's beautiful face right now. She looked sad, angry, scared, and worried at the same time.

"Sorry..." Princess Freya felt guilty to see Aryana crying like that.

"It's okay, Princess. The important thing is that I've found you. By the way, what are you doing in this place, Princess?" Aryana wiped away her tears and asked Princess Freya.

"I was asking..." When Princess Freya turned around, the old man was no longer there. Aryana was confused when she saw Princess Freya pointing to an empty spot.

"What!?" Princess Freya was surprised that there was nothing there.

"What's the wrong, Princess?" Aryana was even more confused after seeing Princess Freya suddenly startled like that.

"Arya, didn't you see an old man there?" Princess Freya pointed to where the old man was before.

"There is no one here, Princess. When I came here, I just saw you standing alone in this place." Aryana shook her head and said what she saw before to Princess Freya.

"It's weird. I'm sure I was talking to him before. He was an old man who could predict the future." Princess Freya muttered softly that only she could hear him.

"Did you not see wrong, Princess? Or maybe you were hallucinating?" Aryana asked worriedly after hearing Princess Freya's words. He thought Princess Freya was hallucinating from the fear of being left alone in a place she didn't know.

"No way! I'm sure I'll see and talk to him here. He was sitting in that rocking chair." Princess Freya pointed at a rocking chair that looked dusty.

"All right, Princess. We'll talk about that later. But now we better hurry back to the castle. I'm afraid Your Majesty is worried because you haven't returned yet." Aryana didn't want to linger in that place and wanted to bring Princess Freya back to the castle quickly.

"Alright..." Princess Freya reluctantly returned to the castle because Aryana had her father's name in her words. She was still curious about the meaning of the old man's last words. Princess Freya occasionally looked back, but the old man had completely disappeared without a trace.

Not long after Princess Freya and Aryana left that place, the old man reappeared in the same place he had been chatting with Princess Freya before. He suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"I can't wait to see your future. Hehe..." The old man laughed while looking at Princess Freya in the distance. Then his figure blurred and disappeared again from the place.

***

Back when Princess Freya was burying herself in her bed, she turned around and looked up at the ceiling. She finally understood the meaning of the old man's words when she looked into Ziel's eyes.

Princess Freya couldn't see Ziel's eyes during the servant selection event because Ziel closed his eyes when his mask was removed. But Princess Freya could see Ziel's eyes directly during the incident in the Argaint Kingdom. At that moment, she felt her body shaking with joy and her heart pounding wildly. She seems to have found her soulmate and wants to be with him forever.

Princess Freya initially didn't know what she was feeling at that time because she had never felt in love. But when Princess Freya recalled the words of the old man she had met when she was a child, she understood that she had found his destiny.

Then Princess Freya watched Ziel fight against two gods and fight tens of thousands of magical beasts alone. In her eyes at that time, Ziel was not a prince to her but a god she worshiped. She is willing to offer her body and soul to Ziel, a prince destined for her. Princess Freya felt delighted because the person destined for her was an amazing man.

"I finally found you, the prince of my destiny." Princess Freya smiled beautifully and blushed when she thought of Ziel. Right now, Princess Freya looked like a girl in love.

"I'm sorry, Aishia. Since you can't take care of him, I will do it for you. Because from the start, he was the prince of my destiny." Princess Freya's beautiful smile suddenly turned into an evil smile.
