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

That night, shouts echoed in the forbidden corner of the Palace of Happiness. Now, it is no longer appropriate for the name embedded behind the name of the palace to be a reality, in the magnificent building there is only suffering in the air.

Cioten, with a feeling of hopelessness piercing his chest, cried out incoherently until his throat went numb.

Prangs!

All the decorations and trinkets in his room were broken and messy.

Vases, jars, statues have lost their self-esteem as sweeteners of view. Clothes and diamonds were strewn across the cold floor. Expensive paintings and portraits are now broken and destroyed. The tables, sofas, and beds had now been shapelessly shattered.

Cioten room room that initially looks magnificent, now no longer deserves the title as a room.

"Fuck, motherfucker, asshole! God of Death bastard! I will never be willing! You bastard!"

The same cry echoed in the room, repeated, like a spell.

"Ohuk!"

Cioten's shout came to a halt as he vomited a lot of blood from his mouth. Instead, he coughed violently until his chest was hot and sore. His throat was numb and his eyes were teary.

"Sick," he murmured, and then he threw everything away. The enslaving cry broke like a floating glass, the held sobbing had escaped filling the empty melody in a note of silence, and the shaking of the body was a sign that he was grieving; crying over the suffering that is grieving.

"It hurts, Mother." With a final murmur, Cioten hid his face on both knees. Heedless of the blood that formed a tiny puddle, the blood that soiled his clothes, and the blood that still dripped from the corner of his lips.

Cioten's body trembled uncontrollably.

...***...

The two six-year-old boys had the same look in their eyes when they saw something. On his innocent face, there were still no signs that he had understood the meaning of life.

Is that the real meaning of life? Is that suffering that can be hurt? What is a mask on the face? What is pain in the chest? Is that a cut?

Both still don't know. Both of them were still plain children who were still thinking about what they should play next. Is that hide and seek? Or cats?

However, being the Son of the King is not a comfortable title. Being the Son of the King means not getting freedom properly. Especially if both of them are direct sons of the King and Queen. Thus, the responsibility carried by both of them was greater than their innocent minds could imagine.

"Sister."

"Hm?"

The two pairs of fingers interlocked, brought dancing in the air.

The distinctive sound of the grass is stepped into the melody of the introduction of two children who were tracking the palace garden. Take a break from the grueling classes of etiquette and natural and social studies.

"We really can't see Mom anymore, can we?" ask Cioten.

Viten nodded small. "He said, yes. I don't really understand. It makes no difference anyway. Mother, right, never met us."

Cioten. "yes too. Said the servant sister, we were ignored by Mother. Brother, ignored what does that mean?"

"I don't know. Ask the servant's sister."

Cioten nodded his head, a sign that he agreed. However, he did not have time to answer, his blood-colored eyes had first met the sight of a charming woman.

Cioten released his finger link and ran. Viten panicked a little, but followed his sister's steps in a steady manner.

Now, Viten and Cioten are standing right in front of a woman with a distended stomach. The woman is pregnant. Behind him, a dozen servants followed.

"Are you a fairy?" Cioten's sudden binaries and questions on the woman made her laugh.

The woman wanted to kneel down, but her enlarged stomach made it a little difficult. However, the woman managed to align her height with the two six-year-old boys.

"Allow me to answer your question, Prince. I'm sorry, but I'm not a fairy," the woman replied with a slight ruckus.

"Then, who are you? You are so beautiful!" cioten said with burning enthusiasm.

The woman laughed again. "My name is Calmaria Cyrill. Concubine of His Majesty the King and not a fairy, please note, yes, Prince."

"It doesn't make sense! The servant brother who always read the fairy tale said that the fairy was very charming and charming! So, you must be a fairy in disguise!"

Calmaria could not help but laugh. "The prince is so sweet!"

"What is the concubine?" The question that Viten spontaneously asked made Calmaria turn her head.

"Prince Viten, the concubine is the King's wife" she replied patiently and calmly.

"Just like my mom?"

Calmaria was silent for a moment. "Yes, just like Her late Queen. But I am a little different."

"What's different?"

Calmaria had difficulty withstanding the golden screeches when two identical eyeballs showed the same highlight and twinkle. Innocence and curiosity.

"The two princes will understand if your bodies are already as tall as mine."

"Ah, that's easy!" sahut Cioten's. Viten quietly nodded. "I will quickly grow up and be your height, Fairy!"

"I like the Prince's enthusiasm, but please call me Calmaria only. I'm not a fairy."

"All right, Calmaria? Calmaria's sister?"

Calmaria once again squealed in dismay. "It's a cute prince! I want to eat the Prince's cheek!"

"Miss Calmaria."

The waiter behind Calmaria finally came forward after witnessing how Calmaria became an impromptu fan of two six-year-olds.

"You've been on your knees long enough. Your feet may hurt. If the Prince wants to talk to Miss Calmaria, you can both visit the Jewel Palace."

"Chloe," call Calmaria, remember.

"But you are pregnant. I'd like you not to forget that you have to take care of your health because it's not just about you."

Calmaria sighed and straightened up, aided by Chloe.

Viten and Cioten looked at each other and began whispering with a volume of voice that only the two could hear.

"What's the next class?"

"Old History."

"Not following him for once might be okay."

"really. Let's go to the Jewel Palace."

"Yes, yeah. I wonder why Brother Calmaria's stomach is so big."

"Rubber. Come on."

Viten and Cioten who were whispering to each other finally straightened their bodies.

"We're going to visit the Jewel Palace now!" cioten.

"But don't you both have an Ancient History class with Mr Conrad next?"

Viten and Cioten.

"How do you know?"

Calmaria chuckled small. "Everyone in this palace of course knows about the schedule of the two of you."

"Is that right?"

"Yes, Prince. This is to prevent the two of you from ditching or not attending class."

Viten gulped because he was caught intending to skip, while Cioten looked disappointed.

Well, being a prince who is a direct descendant of the two main rulers is not an easy matter. Both of course get a tighter education to be prepared to become the ruler of the country in the future.

"Chloe," call Calmaria. "Please take the Prince to his class."

"Good, Nona—"

"It's an honor for me, Prince. However, you both need to take classes." Calmaria's answer made the twins look even more disappointed. "However, what if the two of you visit the Jewel Palace when your schedule is empty?"

"Good idea!" sahut Cioten enthusiastically, forgetting the disappointed look that had been put on his face before. "We'll take a look at our schedule and come to the Jewel Palace when the schedule is empty!"

Unfortunately, his second schedule was empty after one week had passed.

...***...

"Give! The fairy! Uh, Sister Calmaria!"

"Cioten, don't run!" Viten's warning is thought to have come when Cioten threw himself into Calmaria's arms. Cioten then secured himself in Calmaria's arms. As if familiar with the warm embrace that is certainly not familiar on the surface of his skin.

Viten approached in annoyance. Her lips were slightly pursed comically due to the sudden burning feeling of envy.

I also want to be hugged, he murmured.

Calmaria chuckled small. "Oh my goodness, Prince. We haven't seen each other in a week, have we? Does the Prince miss me? I'm having a hard time sleeping because I think of you two, especially your adorable cheeks!"

Calmaria was eager to pinch the twins' puffed cheeks, but held back knowing it would not be frowned upon.

Cioten finally broke free from Calmaria's embrace. Instead, Calmaria pulled Viten into her arms.

Viten was a little surprised but received a hug with pleasure.

Then, for some reason to the six-year-old, she felt a foreign feeling rising in her chest. Viten loved how his body was held in a warm embrace he had never felt, then how comfortable it was to rest his head on his shoulders as a proper resting place.

For six-year-olds to get the pressure of being a ruler in the future does not have a good impact on both.

"Because you're both here. What if we continue our previously delayed chat?" calmaria proposal with a bright smile on the lips, making cheeks blush because of how wide the smile installed.

...***...

The gazebo in the garden of the Gem Palace looks magnificent even though the social status of Calmaria is only limited to concubines.

However, keep in mind that concubines from the Cyrill family are not concubines who can be considered trivial. Cyrill produced many of the queen's offspring in Cyrill's family history with pride, making Calmaria's social status end higher than that of other concubines.

On the round table was filled with sweet snacks and milk for the twins. To Calmaria, he had enough with just his favorite cup of tea, Earl Grey.

Seeing the two Princes eating sweet snacks enthusiastically made Calmaria want to pinch the cheeks of the two kingpins.

"Sister Calmaria," called Cioten, he swallowed the strawberry cake first before opening his lips. "I've already asked Servant Brother, she said Brother Calmaria is actually our mother?"

Viten ate cookies with better etiquette than Cioten who did not think about how he acted and continued to behave freely.

Calmaria smiled gently. "It's more precisely the mother-to-be of both of you."

"Why?"

"I will be crowned Queen after I give birth. So, you two will be my stepson."

"The bottom line, Calmaria's sister is our mother, is that it?" ask Cioten, draw a conclusion.

Calmaria nodded. "It can be said that."

"May I ask?"

Calmaria glanced at Viten who had just opened his voice after being silent for a while. "Yes, Prince. Please ask."

"Actually, what is the role of the mother for her child? Is the mother's role useful for both of us's survival?"

Calmaria looked surprised when she heard the unusual question from the six-year-old boy.

Calmaria certainly knows how the former Queen has neglected her two sons and is only focused on fulfilling administrative duties. Therefore, it makes sense that her two sons could not understand what the mother's role was for her child. Even before the two understood clearly what the role of a mother was, the Queen had already died from being poisoned.

Calmaria maintained her smile, despite ending up with a strange smile.

"Of course, there are many mother roles for the life of her son, Prince. You both want to hear it?"

Viten and Cioten nodded simultaneously.

"The role of the mother is to watch her children grow, to give love and love properly, and to educate her children to be good and great persons."

Give validation to the achievements of their children, give hugs and kisses of love to state that they deserve to be loved, to not leave their child's side no matter what, to help them overcome any difficulties, care for them without harming them physically and mentally, and then feel proud of their precious existence.

Calmaria wanted to answer more of Viten's questions, but was afraid that the two six-year-olds would find it difficult to decipher the answers.

"But our mother didn't!" exclaim Cioten with a frown on the forehead. "I don't even know my own mother. It sucks."

"That's right" Viten continued. "I don't know what a mother's role is to me. So, if it's really a mother role that's useful to me, I'll consider it."

"Because whether there is a mother or not, the one who takes care of us is only Madam Kricia and Sister Maid!"

Calmaria smiled stiffly at the pitiful answer from the six-year-old boy. Sympathy in his heart was channeled to the two children who never get the love of a mother. Secretly promising love and happiness to both of them after officially being made their stepmother.

"It's okay, Prince. Instead, I will definitely play the role of a good mother towards her two sons. I'll be a mother to you."

Both Viten and Cioten commented on the smiles on their cherry-red lips. Approving the idea that Calmaria expressed.

The twins ended up talking about so many things that the snack on the table almost ran out and the sun almost drowned.

"Then, Calmaria's mother. Why is Calmaria's mother's stomach so big?" Cioten demonstrated his sentence by forming a roundabout the size of his tiny body by his two arms. Cioten also pinned the call Mother after the conversation about the mother ended.

Calmaria chuckles a little with Cioten's behavior.

Cioten is an expressive person who continues to express everything freely without caring about the chain that ambushes him. In contrast to Viten who is more silent and assess the situation before acting.

Although both of them still have a plain mind, Viten still has the potential to act more mature than Cioten.

"If I am your mother, then in my stomach this is your sister's future."

Viten and Cioten exchanged glances. "Sister?"

...***...

"I heard you've been close to my son lately?"

Roth Valentino Asher comforts himself on the couch in Calmaria's room. Calmaria who was sitting next to Roth gave a small nod.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your son is so sweet that I can't help but get close to them."

"Good." Roth nodded. "You are their mother, after all. As a mother, you should be familiar with both."

"Sure, Your Majesty."

Pause for a moment.

"When is the delivery time?"

"Less than a week, Your Majesty."

"The twins would love to have a new sister. Especially Cioten, he won't be the youngest anymore."

Roth laughs, and so does Calmaria.

...***...

Calmaria has been living with a lie imprinted on her mind that Millia Asher, her eight-year-old daughter, is still alive.

That Millia Asher simply disappeared from Calmaria's embrace, so Calmaria sought all sorts of ways to find her daughter.

Both Viten and Cioten, who had been part of Millia Asher's life for eight years, felt a deep sorrow in the heart. Plus, seeing the sad condition of Calmaria who did not want to accept the fact of the death of her daughter made the twins pounded with a feeling of pain in the recesses of the chest.

Time and time again Viten and Cioten convince Calmaria that Millia Asher has been snatched away by the God of Death, so that turning over a continent in search of Millia will not be found. Unless they dig Millia's grave back.

However, no matter how much the twins convinced Calmaria, Calmaria still could not accept the reality. No, rather do not want to accept the harsh reality.
