Looking at the pearl necklace, Fryling couldn't help but lower her eyes. She recalled the scene when she first met the man, which was so impressive.
Unfortunately, she had fallen in love with someone else long before she met him, otherwise she might have been moved by his sincerity.
Frelin looked at his dark red eyes in the mirror and couldn't help but reach out and touch them. Then, his mind suddenly remembered the inheritance he obtained when he refined the eyes of the human-faced snake king.
The Eyes of Medusa are destined to a life of solitude, misfortune, and loneliness.
"well."
With a sigh, Freling placed the pearl necklace in the box and then put the box back.
Just after Freling put the box away, another person appeared in her room. It was a beautiful woman dressed like a gypsy, but she was a little inferior to Freling.
"It's you, Horna, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you."
Horna poured herself a cup of coffee and drank it, then looked at the calm Freling and said, "Did you find your old lover when you went to the East this time?"
Everyone who knows Freling knows that Freling has an old lover whom he can't forget, and in order to find this old lover, Freling has searched almost the entire world.
Especially Horna, the close friend, knew that Freling's ex-lover was an Oriental, and might be somewhere in the Oriental forces, so she asked this question.
Fryling looked at his best friend and felt a little sorry for her. After all, Fryling knew that for Horna, following the Holy Lord was her lifelong pursuit, so Fryling's betrayal of the Holy Lord was equivalent to betraying Horna. If possible, Fryling really didn't want to betray Horna and become hostile to her.
However, now Freling could only suppress his thoughts and pretend to get along with Horna as before.
“Found it.”
"Really?" Horna was somewhat happy for Freling. After all, Horna knew that for Freling, the old lover was Freling's salvation and hope.
"Then why didn't you bring him back? And why are you so unhappy?"
"I didn't bring him back, and I killed him with my own hands."
Horna was somewhat stunned. She didn't understand why Fryling liked that man so much and would kill him with his own hands? Could it be...
Horna suddenly thought of a possibility, so she asked, "Is this what the Lord Saint meant? Did you go to the East with Octo Green this time just to write about this?"
Fryling nodded. "Yes, this time I went to the East with Octo Green to stir up internal strife among the Eastern forces. He... is already an indispensable figure in the Eastern forces, so we must get rid of him before we can successfully stir up internal strife among the Eastern forces."
"how so?"
Horna was a little bit unbelieving, but when she saw Frelin's expression, she felt that it was indeed true.
"Everything is for the Lord's plan. You... should just forget about him."
After Horna was silent, she asked Freling to forget her old lover. After all, to Horna, the words of the Holy Lord were imperial decrees, orders that they must obey.
Freling had long guessed what would happen after Horna learned the news, so she was not surprised at all that Horna comforted her, but in her heart, she was somewhat disappointed.
