The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

Sihan managed to get through several knights and priests who roamed the capital and successfully delivered Baron Geld's order without any suspicion at all.

Accompanied by three of her friends consisting of 1 man and 2 girls, Sihan immediately rushed to return as some of the knightly attention guarding the civilians began to lead quite intensely.

"It looks like we're starting to suspect."

Sihan whispered to his friends. However, how shocked the four children were when suddenly a priest pointed a stick and confronted them.

"The kids are witches!" point at.

Sihan did not know why they could be known, but after seeing the eye color of his two friends turned purple, Sihan instantly gave instructions for them to escape and followed himself into the narrow, meandering alleys without end.

"spread out!"

The knights split the team to guard at every mouth of the alley and locked the children away at one point then finished them off and sure enough, Sihan and his three friends were already cornered.

Sihan tightened his jaws to protect his friend, but his three friends had cowered in fear when they saw the swords of the knights glaring vilely at them. Sihan was scared, too, the terrible memories of witnessing the death of his parents and the mass murder of witches became the most frightening trauma of his lifetime, whether they would feel the flesh being ripped off by the sharp iron.

"We must subdue him and bring them before His Majesty." One of the knights proposed an opinion.

The other two knights looked at each other however, one of them was the biggest with a large incision wound on the arm as if to disagree.

"Kill it here. After all, in the end, a witch will die like a beast" said the large-bodied knight with a wide grin.

Sihan clenched his hands and stared hatefully. "You are the beast! You have no heart and wits when hunting our people! You are the cruelest creatures in this world you should not be worthy of inhabiting this world!"

The knight then chuckled as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to slash Sihan's neck. Sihan's friends began to cry in fear while Sihan put on a bold stance with a magic spell that airs over his small palm.

"You think that magic is bad for us?"

Then the knight raised the sword high and was ready to chop off Sihan's head but, the twang was loud enough to ring. The knight was wide-eyed at the presence of a woman who was holding back the movement of her sword with a white sword was extremely beautiful.

Sihan and others are grumbling. Gaia's long fine hair gently greeted their faces, the bodies of the adults being their current shields. For a moment Sihan thought that the woman in front of him was a goddess, but in reality it was a human.

While the knights were wide-eyed after knowing that the one before them was the tyrant's lady-in-waiting, Gaia Kahina Seil.

"I'll take care of these kids. You guys get back to work." Gaia stared fiercely at the knights.

"Jala*ng shit. Get out of front of us! Preventing us from carrying out executions against witches would be considered a traitor!"

"Go from before me if you don't want to replace the execution of these children."

"Don't think because you're the Marquess' daughter and His Majesty's lady-in-waiting this action is understandable."

The knight then gave orders to three of his friends to secure four small children behind Gaia's back but they had heard rumors that the successor in the Israeli family was not an ordinary noble woman. Gaia was quite famous in the eyes of the border knights in asserting the troops that were under her leadership.

"Tsk! Goddamnit! Then let me!"

The knight then attacked Gaia, it was quite great because Gaia believed the knight's unusual movement and energy while swinging the sword was not ordinary arrogance. It was the result of years of training to become a knight.

Seeing that there was a gap behind the protection of Sihan, the knight immediately pulled Sihan and was ready to slash the little boy's neck but what happened was that his hands were lying helpless on the ground with blood splattered, and the boy was left with blood, puddle around your own feet.

"Aragh!"

The knight's shout shrieked intensely, the pain in his right hand being cut off like an endless electric shock. Gaia just stared for a moment at the wound and then took the children away from there but before that Gaia told the other knights to call the priest if they did not want their colleagues to die of blood loss.

"Huh ... I can finally get out."

Gaia wiped away the sweat on the temple then looked at the four children who were much more breathless. Their small bodies were still trembling and pale, it made Gaia a little sad.

Gaia gasps. From the first time he saw it, the look in the eyes of this little boy reminded him of Rahid. Even though he was a child, his courage had to be thumbs up plus he was also so hard to protect his friends.

Gaia's smile was painted at the top of Sihan's head. "I want if we meet again, you can talk a little more gently to me."

Sihan was blown away, the glow in his fake black eyes emanated due to the charm from both ends of the raised Gaia. Whereas all this time humans have always stared hatefully and disgusted at us.

"Hurry up and go."

Gaia then encouraged Sihan and three other children to get out of the alley and go home and at the same time, Haetric who had been watching on the roof of the building seemed silent with eyes difficult to interpret but certainly the man smiled meaningfully behind his mask.

...***...

Gaia returns to the palace after using her free time for a walk in the city, but after returning from there, Rasila and Argio stare anxiously at her and even say that Rahid is waiting in the study.

Gaia's curiosity instantly disappeared after seeing the knight whose hand was cut off had stood in front of Rahid's desk and was staring at her.

"Is it true that you saved the witches' children, Gaia?"

Gaia's eyes were wide. Auras full of anger and hatred were strong around Rahid's body to the point that Gaia was nauseous. How could a human without any blessing be able to have such an aura.

"Yes." Yeah." Gaia looked anxious as she replied.

"You even injured a knight under my leadership just for the sake of saving those children?"

Gaia frowned and advanced closer, right next to the knight whose hands had been bandaged thanks to the treatment of the priests and doctors.

"just? Apart from witches, they are only children, Your Majesty."

"If they were young, they could create chaos with curse magic. Do you think your actions are right?"

Damien's words about Rahid living in revenge and regret come to light. Right, seeing how angry Rahid was after knowing he saved the children, Gaia became anxious it would be problematic in the future if left unchecked.

"The witches must be destroyed. If the children are caught, I'll chop off their heads and hang them in the square." Rahid punched the face while plugging the tip of the feather pen full of anger onto the table.

Gaia clenched her hands and looked at Rahid with anger. "Whatever they may be human, the difference is that they are blessed with magical powers. If they are called witches, what about me and the saints? They spread black magic because they are constantly hunted, they try to save lives even though they eventually have to hide from the world that is almost completely plundered by humans!"

Rahid widened his eyes and the quill bolted at the side of Gaia's head and was stuck in the wall. "Did you just defend them? Didn't you know that they were hunted for spreading a curse? They are the ones who started it all! Even they used curses to kill people so pitifully and painfully! How dare someone like you say that without ever experiencing it!"

Eslan, Argio and Rasila shudder in horror and are swiftly on Gaia's side, protecting Gaia if Rahid suddenly lifts his sword and wounds the woman blessed with holy power. However, Gaia seemed undaunted, she grew more and more daring to resuscitate Rahid.

"I don't believe in that history. Just like you, they all suffer loss. Their freedom, happiness, and rights were forcibly taken away and now they have to live secretly and fearfully. Stop this hunt, Your Majesty! What more are you looking for after slaughtering your own family! Revenge will only sink you into ruin!"

"So your mouth! How dare you defy my power! Brackets him in jail for a week to reflect on his mistakes!"

"Y-His Majesty!" Eslan tries to stop Rahid's actions but the master destroys the table.

Argio's got Eslan. This is the lightest punishment Rahid ever gave to a man who dared to make his anger overflow. Really, Gaia was very lucky because Rahid did not make any of her limbs disappear.

"Quickly take him away from me!" Rahid's Word.

Rasila then immediately took Gaia away from there and was taken to the prison room which contained a small wooden bed.

"Are you okay, Lady?"

Gaia exhaled while grasping the necklace of Sain and Haetric's hand at the same time. "I'm fine, but the wound in Rahid's heart is severe."
