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

I'm actually in a fun and weird dream right now.

Although I am very, very aware that this is not a dream but reality. His-taan. However, this reality is too beautiful for me to think that I will continue to live behind narrow, dark, stuffy, uncomfortable bars.

The topic of gossip would definitely say something like this: "The former Princess Serethy Matria, the second princess of the fallen kingdom of Matria, again began her comfortable and luxurious life in the Asher Kingdom, again, The kingdom that defeated the Kingdom of Matria."

Damnit. But not too damn. Half-fucking.

Waking up behind bars in the morning, many servants greeted me, bowing deeply, saying, "Good morning, Princess Serethy."

I wonder why they keep calling me Princess instead of Miss because I am the former Princess.

Then they took me—dragging me—to the magnificent palace that I did not know his name.

I was then put in a bathtub with scented soap, bathed with milk and flowers, then the waiter massaged my body, giving me treatment on my body that I did not understand. Anyway, everything was very comfortable and relaxed me until I fell asleep.

After that, I was dressed in the most luxurious dress and my pink hair was styled.

It's so fun that it feels like dreaming.

"Wait, why was I brought here?" ask me after regaining my senses because this comfort is so intoxicating.

I was a prisoner of war, I should have stayed in the small, dark iron bars of the dungeon, not this luxurious palace.

"With all due respect, this Jelena will answer," said one of the servants who was busy with my dress. "His Majesty the King ordered the servants in the Palace of Happiness to serve Princess Serethy and ordered the Princess to continue living in this Palace of Happiness."

The king? This must be the work of a crazy bastard!

"Wait a minute, I'm a prisoner of war. Why do I have to be dressed so fancy? And I'm not the Princess. My kingdom has fallen."

"With all due respect, this Jelena will answer."

And why did he repeat that sentence like a robot?

"Because His Majesty the King is interested in you, Princess Serethy. And His Majesty the King has just announced to the public that you are the new Princess of the Asher Kingdom."

Huhhh?! What say? So the Princess of the Kingdom of Asher?

That fucking crazy bastard! Why did he decide something so good?

"What's? I don't know anything about this. How could His Majesty the King do this to me?"

"With all due respect—"

"Just answer me."

"Okay, Princess. As I've said, His Majesty the King is very interested in you."

" Where is baj—I mean, where is His Majesty the King now? I'll see him."

"Your Majesty is in his study now."

"Yes, and in which palace is his study?"

"The Palace of Happiness, Princess."

Huh huh? Wait, this palace is the palace where I was dressed!

I stood up from the dressing chair.

The waiter who styled my hair immediately gasped. "Mr Princess, your hair is not finished—"

I did not wait for the maid to finish her sentence as I had already walked towards the door of my intricately carved but majestic room. After opening the door, I walked out with firm steps.

"Daughter, where are you going?"

"AH!" I was shocked by the soft voice that was outside the room until I subconsciously hit the owner of the voice.

Sir Derick only smiled softly despite being hit hard by me. Geez, the Fallen Angel charm.

"Sir Derick, why are you here?"

Sir Derick bowed respectfully. "Yes, Princess. Her Majesty the King ordered me to become the Princess's personal knight. And please don't talk formally to me, Princess."

"Sir Derick, you—"

"Don't talk formally, Princess." He smiled like an angel after cutting my sentence.

"So, do you know what's going on with me?"

"If what the Princess meant was to make Princess Serethy Matria the Princess of Serethy Asher, everyone would already know this."

I looked at Sir Derick with a blank look.

Why am I the only one who knows nothing?!

"Sir Derick, show me His Majesty the King's office," I said blankly and sharply.

"It's an honor for me, Princess. Please follow me."

I then followed Sir Derick walking down a large hallway.

I just realized that this hallway is the same as the hallway when I visited the crazy bastard's room yesterday.

So, yesterday I visited the Palace of Happiness, huh? And now I'm going to stay in the Palace of Happiness with a crazy bastard? No, thank you. Like the title I gave him, he's a crazy bastard, aka a psychopath.

"This is the room of His Majesty the King, the Princess," Sir Derick said after pointing to the room with a large luxurious door.

Gold carvings on white wood also attract attention. Shit, how rich is he?

I knocked on the door a few times, then heard the sound of a crazy bastard inside.

I opened the door and walked up to the crazy bastard sitting behind his desk.

"Oh, you don't look as pathetic anymore as you did yesterday." The crazy bastard, who now wanted to smash his head with the candle holder, smiled in satisfaction.

"What is this, Your Majesty?" I said sharply.

"Ho. Your side is not done yet, tuh," said the crazy bastard as he pointed at the left part of my hair.

Who cares about ribbons, just explain this motherfucker!

"Your Majesty, I want an explanation" I said coldly.

The crazy bastard started laughing. "I made you Princess Asher because you didn't want to be my concubine."

"That's because you're so attractive" said the crazy bastard and leaned his back against the velvet backrest. "You don't want to be my concubine, but other women will gladly accept it."

"That's because I'm a prisoner of war. Wouldn't it ruin your reputation if I became your concubine?"

"No one will dispute the King."

He is stubborn and does not want to be wrong. I can guess it. No, honestly, this is explained in the novel.

Crazy bastard, no, Viten Asher is someone who is stubborn and never accepts mistakes. If Viten Asher wants A then it must be A, without receiving B. The order is absolute and partial if refused.

He has a very bad personality.

However, I'm sure that this kind of person has a lot to do with the inner child told in the novel.

"However, I am a prisoner of war, Your Majesty."

"Then why? I want you to be Asher's daughter, so you're Asher's daughter."

Tuh, right.

"But I'm in conflict, Your Majesty."

The crazy bastard raised an eyebrow, astonished. "What's that?"

"My self-worth."

"Hm?"

"My pride as the former Princess of Matria Kingdom is wounded, Your Majesty. You will also definitely hear various opinions regarding me licking Her Majesty so that I can become Princess Asher."

"Fuck the opinion."

"But I can't do that, Your Majesty. I am the former Princess Royal Lord of Matria, people will look upon me badly and it will also tarnish your reputation in the public. Which ruler made prisoners of war a part of the Kingdom?"

"Say, fuck public opinion. I don't care about that, then you don't have to care either."

I cringe. This bastard was so annoying that I wanted to kick him with the karate style I learned in my home world.

"You are the ruler of Asher, you should not ignore public opinion. That opinion is what powers you and builds an empire."

"I know that. But I just want you to be part of the Royal Family. You've already got Asher's name behind your name, just accept your fate because it's too late to change it."

I give priority to the blank and sharp expression that is intended for all people in this world as a sign of the Princess's pride, but the crazy bastard does not seem to be affected by it.

But, thinking of becoming Princess Asher ....

After all, I don't really know the Kingdom of Matria. I've never lived there before. I don't need to really think of Matria as my home.

I woke up here on the way to the Asher Kingdom, so I had no knowledge of the Serethy origin kingdom at all.

Nor is the novel told much about the Kingdom of Matria unless it collapses in battle with the Kingdom of Asher. Matria's home region became part of Asher and Serethy had no authority anymore as the blue blood in the Matria family.

That'sallthatis.

The contents of the novel only focus on the various tortures that Serethy endured from both sides and how much suffering Serethy suffered.

More precisely, the psychopathic novel that was inexplicably accepted by the publishing company only explains the wounds of Serethy. The novelist killed him at the end. Wow, that fucking novel.

And being Princess Asher allowed me to avoid torture, didn't I?

Crazy bastard has no reason to torture me, let alone a crazy woman who is the fiance of a crazy bastard. They won't touch me with dangerous tools.

I don't care about public opinion, I don't know them.

So, it's not a bad thing to be a part of Asher, is it?

But I'll sell a little expensive. At the same time guarantee that crazy bastards won't torture me in the future.

"Why, Your Majesty?"

Crazy bastard propped his chin up on the table. "What?"

"Why did you make me Princess Asher. I have no blood relation with Asher, nor do I have any relationship with the Asher family, I am just a prisoner of war. Then, why did you make me a part of Asher?"

"That's because you don't want to be my concubine, didn't I say it?"

"However, it doesn't make sense."

"What doesn't make sense? I just want to bring you into the family tree. You refused to be a concubine and I decided to make you the Princess of Asher."

Family, huh?

Geez, what a pathetic figure.

"You don't want to torture me?"

The crazy bastard looked at me with a strange look. "Tortured you? Why do I have to do it?"

I squinted my eyes. "You just want me to be a part of your family?"

"true."

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

I avoided the first death flag!

Crazy bastard, okay, I will call his name from now on, Viten did not show any intention to hurt me like in the novel.

He really just wanted me to be his family.

Yes already, lah. I will be part of his family. Because this is the Royal Family and not just any family. So, no one's going to be rude to me, right? Plus, spending my life in the palaces is grander than a dark prison.

Didn't I get the hidden gem in the haystack?!

I opened my mouth before the door to Viten's study was forcefully broken.

A woman with an elegant but antagonistic-looking aura appeared there.

His hair is emerald and his eyes are black.

I held back my expression to change as soon as I realized that she was Viten's fiancee, the mad woman!
