I Am Your Death
Chapter 29's
"Reina's. Have you been bitten by an insect? Is there a red patch on your neck?"
"Eh?!" Reina immediately covered her neck. Varya looks confused over the girl's attitude.
"A-ah yes this... Ants! I was bitten by the ant of His Majesty hehe" Reina said in an awkward tone.
Varya assented before for a moment she realized something. Eh?! No way! His thinking. But she is suspicious of Reina's behavior, whereas Varya wants to rest today. He had no choice but to meet the uncivilized man.
"Reina after this came with me to see King Ferlya" Reina rounded her eyes, she saw Varya who was eating her food.
'Ware!'

"So Your Majesty, are you impatient? To dare touch my servant prematurely"
"Mwahahaha" Leon laughs to make Varya upset but he tries not to show her.
"Reina explain what happened?" Pinta Varya, Leon stopped laughing he glanced at Reina who was looking down.
"Daughter, I just teased her a little. He'll soon be mine anyway, won't he?" Varya shook her head dizzy, she indeed could not ban Leon. Reina also seemed to like him very much.
"Your Majesty, please treat Reina with respect. I don't want as a result of your actions she's being denounced by others, she's a person that I already consider to be my own sister" Reina saw Varya, the words were able to warm her heart.
"I understand Princess. After I take her to Ferlya, we'll be getting married soon" Leon smiled at Reina who was now meeting.
"If so, how will you deal with the question of your people Your Majesty? Have not many noble children been offered to marry you? What if Reina was harmed there?" The consecutive question Varya throws, he does not want Reina to fared the same as the past.
The girl deserves happiness and freedom. He won't let anyone hurt him even Leon once. Leon seemed to think hard, he was ready to bear all but he also could not always be with Reina.
"I swear to protect her with my life Princess... I'm gonna make her the happiest girl in the world..." Reina was touched to see those two people who cared so much about her.
"Thank you..." Said Reina with flowing tears.
Leon immediately got up from his seat and hugged the girl to calm her down. Varya feels that her presence there is not needed, she decides to go out and leave Reina with Leon.
Varya vividly remembers how the look in Leon's eyes swore earlier. Varya had heard of it from Dirto but in fact it was not the same. He realized that there was no sincerity in Dirto's eyes unlike Leon. The silver-haired man seemed to love Reina so much as if the girl was the goal of his life.
It was no different from the past, only now that Reina could look Leon in the eyes boldly. There was no hesitation there, it was fortunate that Varya managed to meet him first. It seemed like it was time for him to release Reina from his tutelage. The girl also must not be able to be far from Leon which is the destiny of her life.
What about Varya? Will Varya's fate go well this time? Who will be his life partner? Will he be alone forever? Or maybe he'll be with Finix?
"Eh! What am I thinking!?" Rutuk Varya, he did not expect that would cross Finix in his mind again. He had forgotten about it.
"I'm curious" muttered Varya behind his palm.
"Your Majesty..."
DEG!
That soft voice, a very familiar voice that managed to touch the deepest part of Varya. The girl lowered her hand and saw a black-haired man with a red lens who was staring at her gently.
"Finix..." The two managed to stay silent for a while.
Until the awkward atmosphere hit the two, it felt too embarrassed to start the conversation first. Varya just wants to disappear now. Nah! He had to face her and find the right reason.
"I was drunk last night!"
"I was drunk last night!"
They said at the same time, for some reason they thought the same thing and there was still silence between the two. Maybe it would have been a long silence if Reina hadn't come.
"Your Majesty, Finix. Why do you two stay here? And the distance between you is so far away. Did something happen?" Reina said innocently.
"A-ah no! Reina you done?" Varya asked to switch the conversation.
"Yes His Majesty. I am so grateful to you for helping me so far. You worry about me too. While I can't pay anything back for you" said Reina, she felt very guilty because she could not repay the kindness of Varya who had given so much for her.
"Reina, you're like my own sister. You can repay him whenever you want and if you don't reply it's okay. Most importantly I am grateful that you can smile happily now" Reina hugged Varya, she was grateful to have been reunited with the good girl.
If there was no Varya, he could not imagine what life would be like. There may not even be a future for him. He promises one day to repay Varya's kindness in any way.
Finix who felt that it was not considered just stared at the two girls with a wistful gaze. On one hand it was the atmosphere of haru and on the other he felt that clearly Varya was avoiding him. It was very uncomfortable, but he could not go from the girl's side. It was her duty to protect Varya who was the princess of this kingdom.
"Finix, go! Why are you daydreaming? we have to have lunch together, right?" Finix rounded his eyes upon hearing Varya's invitation. There was no hatred from the girl, only a smile on her face as usual.
"All right, Your Majesty!" Finix immediately approached Varya.
Like they never did anything that happened. They smiled back with jokes and laughter as usual. There was no more awkwardness there, because Varya knew that one thing should not be an obstacle for her and Finix.
Varya also hopes Finix doesn't know what's on his mind. And hope that Finix doesn't hear how fast Varya's heart beats with him. Forgetting first love is hard but new love manages to enter the space in Varya's heart. It was disrespectful but for Finix it was fine.
