I Am Your Death
Chapter 03's

TUKS! TUKS!

The sound of knocking on the door rang out from Varya's room. He told his servant to open the door. Then there was a male servant who reported that there was a guest for him.

Varya, who knew who the guest was, rushed to see him. Arriving there, Varya immediately orders the waiter not to let anyone in. The door of the room opened showing the black-haired man drinking the cup of tea that had been prepared.

Noticing Varya's presence, the man immediately got up from his seat. Then bow respectfully.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Varya de Astra" Varya invited the man to sit back after greeting.

"Thank you for answering my request. Mr Finix"

"I feel very honored Your Majesty, please forgive my attitude the other day that did not recognize Your Majesty" Varya smirked, she did not expect Finix to quickly find out his identity.

"Ah~ Let's forget that incident. I don't like pleasantries, I already said that day my purpose was to invite you here right?"

"Of course Your Majesty. Actually I am just a commoner, I only have a slight advantage in your eyes. I feel unworthy to teach the princess of the Kingdom. Moreover, later you will experience many injuries during learning, this is not an easy science Your Majesty..." Obviously Finix, Varya knew that she would say that. Now there was no woman holding a sword with a palm full of wounds.

"I'm ready to risk anything. And take it easy, Finix, we're going to train this in secret. I'm not gonna tell my parents, because you know how they reacted. I've prepared a plan and of course I'll pay you very enough maybe even more. Do you have a job right now?"

"I only work as Your Majesty's firewood salesman" Finix replied modestly, though Varya was doubtful of that. But he has dug up information, it's true that Finix is just a firewood seller. Who sometimes take part in a sword competition for side money.

"Good, 'cause you're gonna get a better job now. You'll be my personal bodyguard. Pack up soon because you'll live where I've provided." Finix is quite surprised to be perverted, from what he hears, Varya is just a cowardly and nerdy princess. He did not expect the girl to have such great charisma now.

"How do you still not want to? I'll raise your wages. You taught me enough for 5 months. After that you can go anywhere you want, here's the contract. So you don't have to be afraid, you just have to do what I tell you to do" Finix read the paper given by Varya. He smiled after seeing the large number of gold coins there.

"Ah~ I can't turn it down Your Majesty." Finix then wakes up to Varya who is in front of him. He lowered his head and pulled Varya's hand slowly.

THE CUP!

"I Finix Erdian will swear allegiance to this royal jewel of the Varya de Astra. My whole life is dedicated to Your Majesty" Finix said after peeping the back of Varya's right hand.

It was a knight's oath to his master, it was obligatory to be done by every knight who was ready to serve his master.

Varya smiled, she has already stepped forward now. He will pay back what happened to him in the past. And surely he will protect his kingdom with the strength he will gain from now on.

________________

Tonight Varya and her family sit down for dinner. This happens once every 3 days, so that they can communicate after a lot of royal duties.

"Varya, I heard that you just raised your new bodyguard. Is that true?" The king asked after they finished their dinner.

"That's right dad. I chose him because I heard his sword skills are so great. He will definitely protect me well" Varya said confidently.

"Your mother is right, I'm also relieved now. But Varya what about your engagement? Dad hasn't told Dirto the problem. Are you sure you're gonna call off your engagement?" The atmosphere that was warm was suddenly silent.

Varya breathed a long breath. He must solve this problem quickly.

"Dad, this is your daughter's choice... I've thought about it well. And I chose not to continue. I hope you and I understand."

"Dad understands son, but this is a matter of two kingdoms of course it will be difficult to decide." Said the King who looked hard.

Varya feels bad now. His father was right this is not easy, but he must not back down.

"What if you have a discussion with Dirto? Just tell me how you feel, he's a good guy. I think he'll understand you better than we do" the Queen suggested. Varya who was listening to that, instantly felt nauseous.

He imagined himself meeting the br*ngsek man. Maybe he will faint at that moment. Seeing his pale son, the King told the servant to take Varya to his room.

"I hope the boy is okay..."

Elsewhere in a room filled with young men playing cards, came the man who made them all stand up and bowed respectfully.

"Rey, come with me!" Pinta the man, on a blond man.

They entered a dimly lit room. The black-haired man sat in his chair. He saw the man he had called earlier.

"Rey, you're gonna be the interim chairman for 5 months. I have important business matters, so don't ever look for me starting tomorrow"

"Boss, what do you mean? Where are you going? Are you angry with us? Please don't leave us Mr. Finix" whine Rey, to that man who is none other than Finix.

Finix was actually the head of the assassin guild. He deliberately falsified the work, so that he was not caught by the kingdom. He has been doing this for a long time since he was 15. No wonder he had the nickname Killer Sword among the assassins.

He was very covering his identity, his guild did not accept any guest who came to kill someone. It's a dirty job but it doesn't matter to him as long as he can survive.

"I got an offer to work for a very high wage. There's no way I'm gonna turn down the money that's coming my way. So Rey I leave my position to you, tell the others not to look for me or say hello to me right now while poking around on the street. Youunderstand?"

"Of course boss! If that's your wish then there's no reason for us to oppose it. Hope you succeed and return soon"

"Yes, I'm also looking forward to this exciting job. I go first, see you 5 months later" Finix jumped out of the window, it's a normal thing he would do if he wanted to go anywhere midnight.

Finix hastened his pace, he should arrive in the morning at Astra. His guild was located very far from there, it was very tiring but for the sake of money he would not hesitate.
