The Love Square [HIATUS]

Chapter 68

[ Y/N'S POV ]

"His blue messenger bird... Was killed?" Ergi repeated. "That's right. And what's more, Any bird he sends me in the future will be shot down as well." Navier said. "And welcome back, y/n. Good day." Navier left the room.

"..."

"Was that..."

"...A warning? Is she going to have you killed as soon as you're discovered on the palace grounds?" Ergi said cheerfully, I smacked ergi in the head. "Hah?! Why are you so cheerful about it, you womanizer!" I kicked ergi on his knee. "Owie!"

"I think she knows that I was struck down by an arrow." McKenna groaned. "But she said something strange after that, didn't she? "Any bird he sends me in the future will be shot down as well."

"I'm sure she just means that the archers will continue to shoot down any messenger birds." McKenna sighed. "Nuh-uh. She sounded dead serious about it. She looked like she'd kill the birds herself if necessary."

"UGH! I'm telling you, that's not what she meant! Why do you keep-- Ah! Ow... " McKenna throbbed in pain. "I told you to keep that temper in check, birdbrain." Ergi said. "Sigh, why won't you listen, Claude?" I facepalm.

"I couldn't deliver the letter as his majesty wanted." McKenna groaned. "You mean that sugary sweet letter?" Ergi asked McKenna.

😶

"What do you mean "Sugary-sweet?" It was written in good taste!" McKenna and I yelled in unison. "Is that right?"

"Have you both read it?" Ergi smirked. "I...!," "Let's just say we all read it," I said, ergi sat down on the bed. "If you give her the letter now..." Ergi opened the medkit. "...She'll know for sure that you are the blue messenger bird." Ergi said.

"You need to get better soon if you want to deliver the letter." Ergi said.

"..."

"I could deliver it, give it to me. Ergi." I said. "But, your highness!" McKenna interrupted. "Don't worry, you should rest now."

Ergi gave me the letter and sighed. "Here you go."

"Thank you, I'll be back." I said as I closed the door.

[ Rashta's POV ]

"Viscountess Verdi, Do you know of a person called "McKenna?" I asked Verdi. "I think he is an acquaintance of duke ergi's." I said. "I'm afraid not, my lady..."

"The gentleman you're referring to is most likely King heinry I's secretary." (Bish I don't know this person's name)

"King heinry I? Is that who prince heinry is now?" I asked.

"King heinry I is a close friend of duke ergi's..."

"...So I assume that lord McKenna, Who is the king's secretary, Would also know the duke."
