I Am Your Death
Chapter 24's

Today is the day of Varya's return, she stopped by the palace first to say goodbye to King Ferlya. Leon did not forget to give a lot of goods as souvenirs for Varya to take home. It doesn't feel like he's been here half a month. And next month Varya's having her birthday party. The party was planned to be Varya's last birthday party at the palace, but now Varya will not make it her last party.

"Thank you for your welcome during our stay at Ferlya. Your government is truly amazing. I will prepare a place for you in Astra. I will wait for your arrival Your Majesty" Varya bowed respectfully.

"Of course this is not how much Princess. I will definitely come to Astra soon and bring you the best present" Leon smiled and glanced at Reina who was behind Varya. Reina who realized that just looked down embarrassed.

Varya gets on the train, and they start to make their way home. A lot of things happened in Ferlya, he hoped one day he could go there again. Varya's plan managed to run smoothly without any obstacles.

He had also taught Reina a lot about the kingdom. The girl was also quick to respond, she had already prepared plans for her and had already bought a title.

"Reina, if there's someone who underestimates later. You don't have to listen to him, if until he hurts you you just have to retaliate, just relax I'm always with you you understand?"

"Of course Your Majesty. Master Finix has also taught me martial arts. I won't be a weak girl anymore" Reina smiled sweetly despite the look of sadness in her eyes.

Varya guessed it was because of the breakup with Leon, it seems that Reina has already deeply fallen for him. But Varya is not yet time to hand Reina into Leon's hands, he will see how Reina develops in Astra later. Is the girl able to stand alone or still be a weak girl?

Varya now sees herself in Reina, and now they are both struggling to become someone who is able to stand alone without help from others.

BRACKET!

Everything on the wooden table fell to the floor. A man was so angry that he took it out on something around him. He was so upset that he could not get a reply from his kingdom.

"ah! What is that fucking guy doing now?! He didn't even return my letter again after I told him that Varya broke off her engagement. Does he mean to not care anymore!?" The man is Dirto, Varya's former fiancee although it is not yet official.

He was shrouded in anxiety now, and he could not even set foot in Astra's palace because of Varya's orders. He had also heard that now the girl was not in the palace. When she returns Dirto will try to meet her again and persuade her not to cancel her engagement.

This long-standing plan must not be in vain. Dirto had dreamed of the throne for a long time, in Ferlya he could not ascend to the throne because he was the illegitimate son of a servant. He is forced to become Leon's right-hand man and Leon promises that Dirto can get the throne in Astra by marrying Varya.

But a strange incident happened, the girl seemed to be someone else. He even looked at Dirto hatefully, damn it! Did he have to kill the girl now and forcibly seize the throne?!

He also had the support of Duke Lawrance, surely he easily carried out his plan. But this is not the right time especially Varya will have a birthday party next month.

Ah, he got the idea. He would try to persuade the girl in front of the crowd. Surely the girl will be devastated by the romantic attitude of Dirto at that time. Right, that's the perfect plan now Dirto's going to get everything ready.

"I'll get you to bend your knees again to me Varya"

Varya has been on a two-day trip. Today they rest in the forest. Varya used that time to train with her new sword.

"You sure you'll use that sword directly Princess?" Finix asked unconvinced, but the girl looked very excited.

Finix put up a defense, he trained Varya to attack. And the basics of assault Finix taught us. After feeling ready the girl attacked Finix.

TRANGS!

Finix manages to hold off Varya's attack. He is also very strong in defense. Varya attacked him in succession. The sword in his hand felt very light.

TRANGS!

Varya's sword was thrown. Varya raised her hand as a sign of surrender. It was so tiring but it felt fun too. He hasn't trained with Finix in a long time.

"You're better than ever. That's very nice Your Majesty" Praise Finix made Varya's eyes sparkle.

"really? Thank goodness, this is thanks to my Blue Sea. He's really very light. I have nothing to lose spending my entire allowance for a month" Varya put the sword back in its sheath.

Varya and Finix sat for a while under a shady tree. This forest felt very peaceful, but it was better that they would not leave the group for too long. Varya invites Finix to return, he is already hungry and wants to enjoy his lunch.

Finix agreed, they came back. When he returned, many people were resting, including Reina. He fell asleep in the horse-drawn carriage. It must have been very tiring for the girl, she had a very heavy experience in her life.

"Your Majesty, the food is ready. Can I wake up Reina?" Varya shook her head.

"It's okay, let me wake her up" Finix understood then asked for permission to leave first.

Varya gets into the carriage, she finds Reina's arm. The girl looked very asleep.

"Reina's... Wake up! Let's have lunch!" The girl squirms to hear her name called.

He opened his eyes slowly, when his consciousness had not gathered all, in his eyes there appeared a man he was longing for.

"Leon..." Her muttering. Varya was confused at that moment.

"Hey Reina's! Wake up here I'm Varya not King Ferlya" Reina rounded her eyes. Now his consciousness is fully returned.

"Well! Uh! Please forgive me Your Majesty" Reina being clumsy now made Varya laugh.

"Haha. Come on, let's eat. Thinking of King Ferlya won't make you full of Reina" Reina's bright red hue appeared on Reina's cheeks.

"Don't Your Majesty misunderstand!!"
