Verra went through hours of lessons alone, rather she was alone because absolutely no one would talk to her even saying hello to a word. It has arrived at the second break, usually at this time the students prefer to spend time in class, maybe playing HP or others. There is no prohibition on playing mobile phones in the school environment, as long as there are no classes.
Because the class was too crowded, the various voices with different tones and topics mixed into one, too noisy here. Verra decided to go find a place to be aloof away from this kind of noise.
He just walked leisurely without caring about everyone around him, passing people while his brain thought about a quiet place during the break like this.
Until Verra finds a deserted back garden. There was a large shady tree in the middle of it, then around it was just ornamental grass and some colorful flower plants. Verra chose to sit under a tree with a handkerchief as a base. He leaned his back against a strong tree trunk. Enjoy the cool breeze during the day.
Of course, if only this alone would be boring, Verra refocused on his phone again. He is only looking for information about the background of this world as well as basic knowledge about the future world in 2061. He did not write down everything about this world.
The former monarchy (kingdom) has just been dissolved not long ago. Not even until 50 years the monarchy was dissolved, only 30 years. The last king explained that the dissolution of the monarchy system in this country is because it can no longer stand with the state officials who arbitrarily abuse power, tax corruption, and other bad behavior.
In 2031-2038 there was a major overhaul of the country's laws after the monarchy was dissolved. The old law has been replaced by a new law. The world was in an uproar over the issue of the dissolution of the world's great state monarchy, no news whatsoever about the King's plan to dissolve the monarchy, suddenly dissolved. For a few years, the country was a little chaotic, but it slowly improved even better than before.
After being disbanded the royal family and high noble nobles are also still respected, only their status (the former nobles) is just ordinary people like most people. The country is also now led by a president, former Grand Duke (Great Duke) Archer of the southern region. Of course the voting results of all the people, not from the King's appointment.
The capital of the country, Poli. A big city that became the center of the country.
^^[A/N: The name of the city is fiction, it has nothing to do with the real world. If anything, only unintentional similarities. I took from Greek (Pli) which means City.]^^^
Verra scrolls it slowly and permeates every word that has been written. He understands the system in this country. It turns out that in a future that is already sophisticated technology there are also many people who are still doing dirty things like corruption like that.
I wrote down the former monarchy because I was Zara, the monarchical system in the country where I lived, was still running. I was just inspired from there. Yep... Looks like––Eh? Whahuh?
Verra was shocked when she read a name tucked in the news paragraph. "King to–19, George De Almer La Shaquille." It was the name of the King who ruled in the country where Zara lived, in the real world, not the novel world.
A moment later he regained his senses from his shock. "Oh yes, I wrote the name of the king according to the name of the king in real life. I'm not very good at finding names of characters, even the names of the actors in the novels are market names. I also took the name refraction from the otome game I've played once." Mumbled himself.
Verra continued reading, but the article she had read had run out. He will look for other articles later after school, because soon it will be time for rest.
Verra looked up at the blue sky above him. Not only once did he think that this was not the world in the novel, but the original world in the future. If this were not the novel world but the original world, he would no longer think of leaving those who were protecting Verra all over the heart out of hand. Zara must have been trying to save him whatever the risks and ways.
Huh... Verra sighed softly, exhaling her breath quickly. What's the point of thinking that far? She's lazy.
"Hey, Verra. It's been more than a month I haven't seen you, now I'm calm after seeing your face. My misses have been cured." The voice of a gentle man but also mixed with a dangerous tone.
Verra turned to see who the owner of the voice was. Upon turning his head, he was treated to a man in a school uniform standing not far from him. He smiled, a smile that was hard to decipher. Verra's instincts say he is a dangerous man but also an important one in Verra's life.
"Who are you?" Verra asked without further ado and put on a watchful mode to him.
"I've guessed the rumor you lost memory is true. I hope you remember me soon. Can I be the first person you remember after losing your memory?" The man knelt on one leg, his smile not fading. His gaze and Verra's eyes met each other.
The man looked at him with na*su's gaze, not a sek*ual na*su, but another na*su and could only be satisfied in a way.
"It's a pity that the first time I remember was my parents' funeral. Are you in my life? I feel alien to you." Tukas Verra was full of emphasis. Who is he in his life, does it matter? Of course for him it doesn't matter.
"Well, what a pity. Why are you more alert than you used to be? Do you really not know me? Even if your memory is lost, you're still the same." She smiled at Verra, a smile that made Verra always vigilant.
The man laughed lightly, then opened his mouth to answer Verra's words. "My name is Evan Smith, from the next class."
"I didn't expect that, despite the memory loss, you came here every second hour of rest." Evan who has a bright brown iris combined with hair that is caramel brown. He chuckled for a moment.
Evan Smith's? Her... The son of the school owner who is a Verra's secret fan! I did not expect him to be more daring to approach like this, whereas in his novel it is clearly written that he only sees antagonists from afar. They rarely even talk. I thought Verra heard Evan's name.
Evan Smith is a secret admirer who will die by suicide, but in fact this is not a case of suicide but a case of murder. Evan could not have killed himself, because as long as Verra was alive he would have lived. For Evan, Verra was his life. However, as if the police deliberately cover up this problem. Evan's family did not respond to Evan's death. And this case is getting more and more disappeared as time goes on.
"Let's start all over again." Evan.
Verra smiled thinly as paper, not a smile but almost leading to a terrible grin. He got up from his seat, then patted his butt to remove the dirt that who knows stuck in his skirt. Verra is facing Evan.
This position... Like a knight giving an oath of respect to the Queen. Evan knelt on one leg, and Verra stood facing him.
"How valuable are you in my life? Even if you don't exist, the earth will continue to spin, the wind will continue to blow, the water will still flow, time will roll, the seasons will also continue to change." A cold smile that showed indifference towards anyone, Verra did not really want to live. The only goal is death. Numb with pain or die without pain, Verra doesn't care which one.
"Indeed, maybe I'm worthless in your life, but you're valuable in my life." Evan stands. He who was slightly taller than Verra was staring at this girl in front of him.
"Evan Smith's... What is our relationship? There isn't one, is there? You, I don't care about you at all." Verra walked after turning around, he did not want to be dissolved in people who will die in the future, he could not be willing.
"We're just schoolmates who know each other, that's all."
"Friends? Do I have friends like you? I don't need a friend." Verra smiled wickedly. Not because he did not want to be friends, but in the original novel Verra did not occasionally say that he did not need friends. Like these... Did he play Verra well?
"It's okay if you don't want to see me. But..." Evan paused his speech for a moment, then resumed his resume after smiling widely. "Verra, please slap me as hard as you can! Just this once!"
"Huh? What's?" Verra was silent for a while after hearing Evan's request. Slap her as hard as possible? Isn't that the same as violence in a school environment. But yes, even if Verra is violent, he will not report to the teacher, because his reputation as a bad girl has made people accustomed to his bad attitude.
"Slap me, that way I'm satisfied!" Again a wide smile, coupled with a pink hue scrawled on his cheeks, his eyes narrowed to form an arch, as well as his hands clenched in front of his chest. He was like a child hoping with a smile.
"Masochistic?" Verra muttered involuntarily. Masochism is one of the sexual behavior disorders that fall into the subcategory of paraphilic disorders. Paraphilia is abnormal sexual behavior or urges, characterized by constant intense fantasies and sexual urges. A person with masochistic sexual behavior is someone who gets satisfaction from fantasizing or engaging in painful sexual activity, such as being hit, tied up, or made to suffer.
"You're crazy! You better go to a psychiatrist to get therapy! Your masochist can be dangerous!" Verra no longer knew what to say, he could only speak by snapping at her. Then leave it at a quick pace.
Evan looked at Verra's back that was getting away, as the girl had already turned to go back to class and was no longer visible in his sight, Evan's smile slowly faded. It became a cold expression without hospitality.
Evan recalls the first time he saw Verra, on his first day of school at Evergreen High School.
It was a beautiful spring day, cherry blossom petals flying in the wind. Evan who accidentally saw a girl was staring cynically at someone not far from the girl. A charming sinister smile, beautiful long black hair, and supported by a beautiful face. Evan was fascinated by him. She was Verra who was staring cynically at Celine. Evan wants to be slapped by her, by the girl who manages to charm him.
Evan was a victim of domestic violence. Every day had to endure the pain her mother gave her as the impingement of her father who brought a new wife. Then swallowed the bitter pill of the fact that he was an unwanted child, as well as the condemnation of his father and his new wife.
"If only you had fulfilled my wish once... I promise, I won't bother you anymore."
