Chapter 169: Guilt and Regret

"Brother wouldn't have blamed you either, Father"

Julian raised his eyebrows in surprise. His eyes widening when he saw the small sad smile on her face. Freya looked at him and smiled when she saw the surprise on his face.

She bit her lips when she thought of how people stopped talking about her brother just days past his death. Eventually the name 'Hezekiah' and the title 'Crown Prince' soon became a taboo that went on for years.

She had never paid attention to it until a year after his death. She wanted to ask her parents whether she could go visit him but that day everyone surprised her. Her parents acted normally as if they had nothing else to do. Her father performed his duties while her mother did her tea party.

That's when it hit her... they haven't mentioned anything about her brother since that night. 

Freya was surprised and shocked by the realization that she ran off to her place which solely belonged to her brother and her.
