The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

11| Since when?

...HAPPY READING...

Just illuminated by a candle on the nightstand near the sofa, Rahid sat down and looked at Gaia who was not sweating and in pain as before. The holy power in the woman's body slowly worked normally, but still sometimes escaped the groaning from her trembling pale lips.

Rahid puts both hands behind the nape while looking down deeply, figuring out since when he became so concerned for Gaia, the impolite woman who came along with her weakness to make a deal.

"What has it been since you showed that power before me?" Rahid muttered, recalling the blonde hair and the color of Gaia's eyes changed as she displayed the sacred power in the throne room back then.

Geck!

Three beats were heard from outside the door, before long Argio and Rasila entered and said that the man in the tower was captured. Rahid stood up from the sofa and approached Gaia, landing a brief kiss on her forehead after touching a fine blade of Gaia's hair.

"Strict security in this room while I'm not around and you must be nearby, Rasila."

Rahid gave the order after coming out first with Argio. Rasila just nods his head then orders the knights to be at every point of guard around Rahid's room then he stands at the side of the bed while observing Gaia lying on her stomach with a bandage wrapped around her back wounded.

"When we are wary of you, you are the one who saves His Majesty when we are off guard." Rasila clenched her hands at the sides of the body, a feeling of incompetence overcame the Invicta members as they cheated the intruders.

Meanwhile, in the stale and arid prison, one by one the torches embedded in the walls lit up, he leads Rahid and Argio deeper and ends up in one of the rooms with a wooden door accompanied by four guards in front of him.

Rahid then entered. The man in all black looks staring beaveringly at Rahid, turns out to be a young man.

"Give me your splinter." Rahid reached out to Argio.

Argio then gave a dagger from under his cloak and Rahid approached the young man while cutting off one little finger on the young man's right hand until a groan resonated.

"Who's your master?"

The young man let out quite a heavy tear, but his mouth remained tightly clenched. Therefore, one of his fingers must be lost under the dagger on Rahid's hand.

"Should you lose 20 new fingers talking?" the glint in Rahid's black eyes emitted a killing aura.

"Mmc ... Hmmm!" the young man shook his head while trying to answer but his lips were not even able to make a gap.

"It looks like this man is instilled a mute curse to keep a secret, Your Majesty," Argio chanted in the back.

"Tsk!"

Rahid clucked while thinking of another way. Mute curses are planted in the palate of the mouth or tongue so that the recipient of the curse will not open his mouth to reveal what should not be said, but this time the recipient of the curse was not even able to open his mouth to answer words that had nothing to do with what should not be said.

"I'll say something and if it's true, nod your head but if it's wrong, shake your head. You gotit? If you still don't want to, I'll tear your neck piece by piece."

Rahid said so while giving a small incision around the young man's neck and of course the words succeeded in creating fear. The young man nodded his head and Rahid began to speak.

"Duke Agneto?"

The young man's pair of eyes widened, his gaze becoming erratic before finally nodding weakly.

The young man nodded quickly.

"There's someone else apparently. Is that a witch?"

The young man nodded his head.

"Man?"

The young man nodded his head again.

"So Duke Agneto teamed up with a witch to kill me. Then tonight at the party, he tried to kill me? Goddamnit!" The jaw tightens.

Thinking it was a question for him, the young man shook his head strongly.

"Huh?" Argio and Rahid raised next to the alias, thinking it was the answer to which question.

"At this party, Duke Agneto had you kill His Majesty, right?" Argio went straight ahead.

The young man shook his head.

"Then who?" Rahid guessed, but on the balcony at that time there was only himself.

"L-lady Gaia?" Argio stammered and at that time the young man nodded his head but before long a strange reaction emerged from the young man's eyes with black blood pouring out from between his lips that began to open.

"Ukh! Argh!"

"Other than that?" Argio closes his nose, an unpleasant smell immediately stings his sense of smell.

"Otherwise, it must be another curse for someone to die before revealing the truth. Duke Agneto probably thought that we could take off the silent curse so as to instill the curse of suicide time in the young man's body."

Rahid stood up while observing the body of the young man who was still wrapped around the thick rope blackened and gave off a stinging stench.

...***...

Haetric just quietly heard Duke Agneto's cholete on how beautiful the view on the balcony during the celebration party. Raising the alcohol-filled chalice aloft, Duke Agneto exclaimed cheerfully while praising Haetric's efforts for helping him to install magic where Gaia could not escape death.

In fact, Haetric changed the direction of the arrow to hit Rahid's cranium instead of letting Gaia die first. Not without reason, it was because Haetric was a little interested in Gaia's figure, but what is surprising is how reckless Gaia who actually chose to be Rahid's shield after trying to save him from the plan of the old man's culas in front of him.

"It's been three days and you know, the woman hasn't come to her senses either because the curse is hard to purify. You're really great, Haetric."

Haetric's eyes turned bad. It was quite a powerful curse considering that not a bit of black magic was implanted on the tip of the arrow's eyes. But, Haetric had to give praise when the woman woke up because most of the victims would not last for a day after getting the curse. Maybe because of his great holy power, but a priest who once had great holy power had died because of that so it was likely that Gaia's life's desire was far from her estimation.

"Just like me, are the gods also making a bet on your life?" inner Haetric while looking at the alcohol in his cup without interest.
