Chapter 2:Rumor

While Thamur was gone Freya decided to go to the market and buy foods and medicine for the wounded man. She disguised herself and sneaked in the market

While shopping for some foods Freya saw a huge crowd, they are very noisy so Freya decided to take a look.. She walked through the crowd hiding herself.

Then she saw a man talking in  the middle he looks like a middle-aged man..

"The Coronation is happening soon, and we, The people of Alfheim is the one responsible who are we going to elect, I know most of you are thinking to elect the Princess Freya, But Princess Freya could not even find herself a husband, How can we trust someone to love us when she can't even find her love?" The man in the middle shouted.

The crowd began to talk to each other and question themselves about electing Princess Freya..

"But she is very Brave, Talented and Smart, Suitable to be the ruler of Alfheim" the little Kid reasoned

The middle-aged man pinched the kid's cheek and said

"Oh, Little kid.. Love is important for a ruler, How can we trust a ruler who do not know how to love."

Freya was angered She took her horse and rode back home, When she came back to her home she slammed the door and angrily dropped the goods she bought for the wounded man.

"HOW DARE HE DO THAT TO ME!" She shouted in anger

"I will find a worthy man you freaking old guy!! Don't you dare meddle with my lovelife!"she shouted

"M-may I know what angered you, Your majesty?" Kalista asked

Kalista is the loyal maid of Freya and also her bestfriend since childhood.. Kalista, Thamur and Freya are friends ever since they were young

"Kalista.. Would it be rude of me to ask you to leave me alone for today? I want to be alone, I don't feel so well." Freya said with calm voice.

"Whatever your highness says." She said then gracefully left the room

"How annoying!" Freya said and punched the table.

The wounded man dropped the glass of water beside his bed

Freya was startled but she decided to take a look to the young man

"A-Are you awake?"She asked with her voice shaking.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. I will leave once I feel better." The Young man said.

Freya felt a little safe hearing his manly voice, His voice sounds like a melody and Freya liked it.

"No no, It is alright. You can stay here as much as you want." Freya said and took the medicine and the wet towel.

"I heard that woman called you Your Majesty. I guess I will also call you Your Majesty." The man said.

Freya stopped for a moment but continued treating the man's wound anyway.

"You should not speak too much." Freya said and gently pressed the towel with medicine into his wound.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for not introducing myself, I'm Alexios the son of Alexander Ruler of Sparta" The man said while coughing

"I am Princess Freya of Alfheim, The General of the Warriors of Alfheim, and The daughter of King Ferimour" She said gracefully.

"I'm sorry I could not bow to your majesty, Thank you for saving me." Alexios said and they fell into silence.

"A messenger from the king has arrived." One of the servants shouted.

"Do not come in and just pass the message." Freya shouted so the messenger can hear her.

"Your Majesty is summoned by the King, He expects you to come as soon as possible." The messenger said then left.

In a few seconds Thamur arrived and entered the Freya's room

"Your Majesty, Have you heard about the news about you?" Thamur asked in low tone of voice.

"What about it?" She asked a little annoyed.

"It has been the talk of the town for quite some time now, someone is deliberately attacking you to make the King choose your siblings instead of you." Thamur said

"I think it is not that simple, I've heard the news and seen the man who is spreading the rumours. I'm thinking if it was one of my brother's or sister's men.. " Freya said trying to think

"What do you think?" She asked Thamur

"Forgive me, But I think Princess is wrong, You are adored by your siblings and wished you well, and also, as I am listening to the man spreading the rumours it is a little different than our common way of speaking. Their way of speaking sounds like someone from another realm." Thamur reasoned

"Now that you've said that, I feel like it is also weird." Freya said and understood what Thamur is trying to say.

"It is not uncommon for them to ruin your highness's reputation. Do you want me to ask someone to investigate?" Thamur asked.

" Yes. Please." Freya said and let out a sigh.

"Oh and also, I want you to investigate something else personally." Freya said then whispered something at Thamur.

Thamur just nodded and called Kalista to get inside.

"Your majesty, Why did you buy these mens clothes for?" She asked.

"No one is here, talk to me Kalista." Freya said.

"It was tiring to act all gracious and obedient all day Frey!" Kalista said while pouting.

"I was stressed out by that man who is spreading rumours!" Freya sighed

"Ah, That man is surely from Sparta, based on his body built, His way of speaking and also a private talk that I've heard." Kalista said and bit the apple lying on the table.

"Sparta, Why would they try to harm me?" Freya asked.

"Not Harm. I think there is more into it." Kalista said and continued eating the fruits in the table.
