I Will Avoid The Death Flag [It's Published]

"Miss."

A man lowered his robe from his head to display a glittering golden-coloured hair overwritten by the luna rays, then he landed smartly on the window sill.

The man's smile instantly brightened when he saw the familiar emerald hair, belonging to someone he cared about.

"Miss. I'm getting big information."

The man jumped a little from the window and closed it so that the night breeze would not enter his non-living room and make the non-lady sick even further.

"What's that?"

The woman sitting on the bed asked in a cold tone. However, the cold tone did not seem to influence the man to change his facial expression. It was as if he had gotten used to the same thing over and over again.

"Rexanne's."

Clare frowned, but her eyes remained cold. "The ancient Asheri language, Rexanne, which means queen? What's with that language?"

The man walked up to Clare and knelt beside the bed, his hands then grasped hands full of Clare's lash scars carefully, unwilling to make the fragile flesh lose its essence.

"Miss Clare, please don't be mad."

"Verro."

Clare's voice made Verro more alertly stroke Clare's fingers on Verro's face with tenderness and affection. Every now and then, Verro kisses Clare's fingers.

"That damn princess. That very jerk princess got her middle name, Miss Clare, it's Rexanne, which means queen."

Silent for a few moments, Verro did not get a meaningful reaction from Clare who sat pecking. Then, right after a few minutes, laughter began to air in the room whose aura was getting gripping.

"AHAHA! YOU DICK!" clare screams to the limit of her vocal cords. "Basic******, thief, cheesy, asshole."

"Miss Clare-"

"Shut up!" clare snapped, both hands then grabbed her own hair. "It's the wrong woman bastard! If only he died! If only he died! I must be the queen here! I'm queen!"

"Miss Clare!" Verro pulled Clare's hand which grabbed her own hair. Some of the falling pieces instantly decayed once the two hands stopped their activity, some were even stuck in Clare's fingers. "Please don't hurt yourself, Miss Clare. Just hurt me."

Clare screamed in frustration then took everything out against Verro who accepted Clare's entire violence calmly.

"Verro," called Clare in between her choked breaths. "Take all the funds for this Duke's daughter, then bribe some poor priest."

Verro looked at Clare.

"You understand, don't you, what should you do, my Verro? You're not gonna let me be tormented like this, are you?"

Verro floated a gentle and loving smile. "Of course, Miss Clare. I'll do everything for you. Even gave my life."

...***...

Once upon a time, the word came down directly from the Sun God to the Kingdom of Asher.

"If a woman gets the Queen's name directly from Me, then she will prosper the kingdom."

It came down exactly a century ago.

And from then on, the Asher Kingdom went to great lengths to find which woman was awarded the name meaning queen by the Sun God.

However, this case is quite complicated, no, it can be said to be impossible.

That's because the word of the Sun God never came down again since a century ago. So, there will never be a woman who gets a gift in the form of a name that means queen. If there were, those women would be lying. Because, the word of God can not simply go down at will. Except through intermediaries. Normally, the intermediary of the Sun God was the priestess in the Sun God Temple.

However, at this time, there was one case where a girl obtained a gift directly from a God.

That's a name.

It may sound simple and have no great meaning.

However, it may be this name that the Asher Kingdom has been searching for for the past century. A kingdom that wants to prosper its kingdom that has never been at peace because of war. And Asher's last war was against Matria.

The Asher Kingdom also never got a sane queen. One of the dozens of queens over the past century who occupied the second highest position in the Asher Kingdom, were mostly lunatics.

Let me remind you again, this is a crazy novel that I threw out the window after reading it.

For example, the mother of Viten and Cioten. She died because she was killed by a concubine, but she was the queen? Isn't that crazy?

Then there was the Queen Mother who was also crazy. Separating Viten and Cioten, dumping the youngest into a pavilion very far from the palace was only for an intangible grudge in his heart. That's so crazy, right? Cioten did nothing wrong until he deserved exile.

I massaged my forehead thinking about the things that made my head spin.

Rexannes.

It was the name I got when I offered my blood to the Sun God in the holy water.

I cannot read the ancient letters engraved in the holy water, but the great priest can read them.

That's my middle name.

And there, Viten again asked me if I wanted to marry him?

"No, it's just, it's a gift of the gods, Serethy. I'm not forcing you, after all we're sworn brothers."

That was Viten's word after the man asked nicely if I wanted to marry him.

Well, it makes sense anyway. It is this gift that the Kingdom of Asher has been seeking for the past century. And now Asher almost got it, and then are they gonna let me go so easily now? Obviously not. There will definitely be some effort done by the people of Asher as well.

"Mr Princess, this is the gossip paper you requested." Jelena held out a silver tray on which was a gossip newspaper that was quite popular among the bourgeois and proletarians.

I sighed, but my hand grabs the gossip newspaper gracefully.

I don't have to complain when I ask Jelena to get this gossip paper for me.

However, I did get pressured just by reading a big newsletter on the newspaper's start page.

[The Hot Madame Kricia Newspaper].

That's a very ineffective name, but it has a lot of people to subscribe to in it for every month.

"Mr Princess, do you want tea?" regina asked, gushing from behind the door.

It seems that one of my servants knew how bad my mood was due to the matter.

Although Viten had told everyone present at the middle name ceremony not to promulgate this name, somehow the name 'Rexanne' was spread throughout the continent.

This makes the atmosphere become excited and uncontrollable.

I would not be surprised if many commoners visited the palace so that I would soon have a marriage with Viten.

I smiled at Regina. "That's great, Regina. I wish I could get something to calm myself down."

Regina floated a bright smile. "Okay, Princess! I'll bring it in soon." Then the girl ran small in the hallway, heard from the sound of her footsteps.

I sighed softly and went back to reading the gossip written by Madam Kricia.

Princess Serethy is known as a princess who has additional value in every aspect. Even the beauty that the Princess possessed was so overwhelming that she had so much luck even when the Matria Kingdom had collapsed at this moment.

That luck can be seen from how lucky Princess Matria who should be a prisoner of war turned into a Princess in Asher. Even getting a God Blessing!

The princess was given the name Rexanne, which means queen. Although she hated to admit it, the Princess could have blessed the Kingdom of Asher if the Princess had married Her Majesty King Viten Asher. However, some witnesses said that the Princess had rejected the marriage proposal twice. How arrogant is that nature?

The gossipy newspaper then told Serethy's past that I don't know the truth. Even occasionally mention the former king and former crown prince Matria who is on the run and now their posters are installed in every corner of the kingdom as fugitives.

I originally intended to find information regarding Serethy in the past. However, I could not immediately digest all this news, where this news was published by gossip newspapers that need to be questioned the truth.

Moments later, Regina returns with a trolley containing a sweet snack and a tea set.

Regina started pouring hot smoke-pressed tea into the classic expensive cup, I love the texture and the carving in the ceramic, evoking an interesting aesthetic.

"Please, Princess," said Regina.

I grabbed the teacup and sipped the fragrant jasmine there. I let out a light sigh because the fragrant jasmine made my stress disappear a little.

"Thank you, Regina."

"It's nothing, Princess. Don't let this gossip paper pressure the Princess!"

I smiled slightly at Regina's attention. "By the way, where are Sir Derick and Melanie? I saw Jelena too just now, but she disappeared?"

"I'm sorry, Princess. However, we still maintain the guard on the Princess at maximum security."

"I don't need that answer?"

"The three people mentioned by the Princess just now were dispelling an even more terrible distress. For example the reporters outside sneaking in."

I smiled awkwardly and then sipped tea to calm my raging thoughts.

The reporter who sneaked into the palace? Happiness Palace? The palace where kings and princes lived - now there are princesses as well? I'm a little worried about their necks. If Viten knew who their identity was, surely their heads would be severed in the guillotine sooner or later. Anyway, they are really stupid if they sneak into the palace whose security is also unquestionable.
