Call me by my direct name

I gradually took a step toward Rani and saw her sobbing face, when she saw me approaching her, she wiped her tears and balanced her gesture "Emperor... I thought you already left, what are you doing here!"

"Rani, why are you crying alone? Has everyone left you?" Seeing her red cheek I gently brush her jaw and give her a sweet chuckle. Rani flushed feeling my hand rub over her skin, she quivered and hesitantly shifted her face in another direction.

I let out a chuckle at seeing her embarrassed face "Do you wanna cure your curse?"

Her facial expression changed drastically when I said I could cure her "Y-you can cure me? That impossible no one has been able to cure Wrym's curse for 500 years since the former Haman King"

"That's because I wasn't there 500 years ago, I promise I can be sure cure of your curse but first you have to tell me everything about the Wyem and where he is now?" My grin face instantly turned into serious mode, Rani understood my intention about what I was going to do. 

"Emperor... are you going to kill Wyrm?" Rani murmured in disbelief as her eyes widened in shock. Thinking about killing the legendary ancient demon is something no mortal has achieved first even the last hero failed to kill that Wyrm.

"Yes, that's the only way to cure your curse," I said and continued caressing her cheeks, Rani kept staring at me and thought that I had gone crazy and believed that he could kill the Wyrm alone.

"Are you sure that you can kill Wyrm? Many brave warriors in the past tried to kill the Wyrm, but they all died only and couldn't hurt the Wyrm except the Hero from 500 hundred years ago!" Rani put her hand above and stopped me from caressing her cheeks.

She somehow wanted to stop me from going to kill Wyrm and prevent me from getting killed.

"Hehehe... It's nice to see that you care about me but I can look after myself. Let go to the border now, your soldier might be going through a hard time" I smiled and tried to seduce her. I grabbed her hand and she suddenly gave me a surprised look as we walked out of the royal court.

Rani retrieved her arm from my hold, I turned my head and looked at her flushed face as her body was trembling after my touch "Emperor... I cannot stop you from fighting from our side on the battlefield, but why do you want me to come with you there?"

I stopped and saw her facial expression, I understood that she wanted an explanation for why I was trying to cure her and kill the Wyrm. Also when I held her hand she felt that she betraying Juha as her future wife.

"I understand you require an explanation, and I will tell you on our way to the border" I showed her my women-killer smile that no woman or girl could resist in this universe.

Seeing my sweet smile and adorable face, Rani's face immediately turned entirely red, she felt her heart pounding like crazy and she sensed joy that she never experienced before in her life.

"O-okay I will come with you Emperor!" Rani exclaimed blushing while she avoiding to look into my eyes. I let out a small chuckle as we walked outside.

Rani called a luxurious carriage pulled by to horse and driver. We take set without any hindrance as the carriage leaves the castle.

I hid my face under a white hoodie and turned to Rani, her skin as white as Sendra's and her big blue eyes and small pinky lips as her white glowing hair reflected the sunlight in the carriage. Her Silver Knight Armor perfectly fits her body and her sword's exquisite sword. A perfect royal knight.

"Emperor... Is there something on my face?" Rani sees me staring at her linger. I came out of my daydream and realised that I had to answer her.

"Rani, before I start I request you to call me by my name, do you get it?"

"Huh?" She was shocked when I said those words, she looked at me in disbelief and said while trembling.

"B-but Emperor, I can't call your direct name! It's a tabu in this Haman calling the Kingdom's ruler's name" Rani woke up from her set and refused to call me by my name.

"Why it's tabu? I don't care about these, just call me when we are alone, do you understand?" I stayed in my seat and calmly replied to Rani.

"B-but..." She wanted to speak but stopped midway, she wanely moved her lips slightly and spoke something low.

"Xzson..."

"Well done we are now close friends" I appreciate her effort to call me by my name. I looked at her and saw something strange, her face turned redder as she looked down and tightly she put one leg over another.

"You become like a tomato, are you not feeling well" I moved my face closer to her face and my warm breath leaned on her ears.

"You are so close, please sit back at your place!" She screamed and pushed me back in my seat.

"At least give me a reason why are you so embarrassed?"

"You don't know that we haman call each other names when two people are married!"
