The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

19| Anger Sain

...HAPPY READING...

Rahid looked at the necklace on Baron Geld's fat neck. Based on the investigation regarding the children of the witch that Gaia saved the other day, Baron Geld was the child's goal and now Rahid invited the middle-aged man to enjoy a cup of tea in the living room.

"It looks like your necklace is very nice, what if I have it?"

Baron Geld shuddered to see the smirk tucked in his murderous lust lead to him. All know that Rahid always gets what is in sight, if he refuses then Rahid will leave his head on the table. But the necklace he was wearing had a high value, if he gave it then it was hard to contact the children.

"But I've worn this Your Majesty. I can give you a more luxurious item than this."

Rahid's gaze grew sharper and Baron Geld seemed to sweat until he finally relented and gave the necklace. Rahid carved a smile full of falsehood then after getting what he wanted, Rahid cut off Baron Geld's right hand with a sword draped around the waist.

"You're too slow to turn him in." Rahid grabbed a handkerchief to clean the blood-stained sword.

Baron Geld glared, enduring the pain and anger that left his pride smeared.

"Your reaction when I asked for this thing was quite pleasant. So ... Tell me, where did you get the jewelry?" Rahid glanced at the necklace on the table and approached Baron Geld, who was still holding a hand that spurted blood.

Still wanting to live and then avenge what Rahid did, Baron Geld acted like a submissive pet, looking down while avoiding an intimidating look.

"Pe-witch. A few days ago I was attacked by a monster and I heard that at the auction there were some items that could scare the monsters to not dare to approach the wearer so I contacted people who could relay my order."

"Who is that guy?"

"D-he is the son of Visc—argh!"

Unable to finish the sentence, Baron Geld spewed out a lot of blood and slowly blackened his body in an instant. The magic was so powerful that it killed the enemy within seconds. Rahid shuddered, how could this terrible black magic.

"Clean this and spread the information about the crime that Baron Geld committed."

Rahid gives orders to Argio and Eslan calls the servants to take care of Baron Geld's body and now Rahid's attention falls on the necklace on the table. From the beginning, Rahid did this to Baron Geld not solely because of the necklace but because the middle-aged man was involved in a number of crimes such as the slave trade, corruption also held illegal auctions.

Gaia could definitely detect if there was a curse embedded in the object, but the holy woman still received punishment and stayed in jail. If Gaia had not prevented the knight from capturing the children of witches then she was already one step ahead to capture the mastermind of all this chaos.

"Call the priest from Sanctia."

Rahid gave orders to one of the other knights. Meanwhile, at Viscount Viren's residence, Haetric clucked in annoyance as he watched the shadow of the black lizard that had been shattered in his grasp.

"I thought this was gonna happen. He almost told me my identity!"

Haetric then grimaced. Since Sihan and the others had been caught, Haetric allowed one curse resembling an animal to perch on Baron Geld's body, just in case anything untoward was revealed. However, the use of such type of curses consumed a lot of magic energy because the number of curses released was quite large.

...***...

"Yes ... Haaa ... "

Gaia's breath faltered. The sweat flooded her trembling body not until there, Gaia's two hands squeezed the left chest quite strongly and a stifled groan was inaudible.

"I've reached my limit, I have to replace it with a new one."

Gaia's eyes were increasingly soft, he saw the atmosphere outside the prison through the gap in the middle of the prison door and there was Rasila who stood guard while turning her back to the prison cell.

"d-name ... "

Rasila jerks. The holy power that Gaia unleashed was so pronounced that Rasila hurriedly turned around and checked the conditions inside there, finding Gaia lying with a slightly red face as it endured the pain.

"Call the doctor!" Rasila called out to the other guards.

Rasila immediately carried Gaia, running towards a better space for Gaia to be a little more comfortable.

"Greetings to the sun of the Kingdom of Retkan." Sain arrived at the palace accompanied by Eslan as a guide to meet Rahid.

Rahid, along with Argio, these four men passed by at the junction of the corridor in the palace. Rahid looked at Sain and then glanced at Argio to show what he got from the geld baron yesterday.

"Ukh!"

Sain instantly closed his eyes for a moment seeing the aura of a curse filling every part of the necklace.

"It's a controlling magic with a curse that turns its user off after the object-maker's main goal is fulfilled. How could it be on something like that?"

Rahid's face shriveled, it was expected that it actually contained magic and curses. Now Rahid looked at Sain and extended a hand.

"Join me to settle this matter. You can see the curse so we can collect these disgusting things and whoever's involved."

Sain looked at the three men and welcomed Rahid's hand. "Will Gaia also be on the plan? Rather than me, Gaia is more sensitive to black magic and curses."

"I don't need anyone like Gaia in this plan. He would only be a problem because of his personality who likes to pity others."

Rahid then turned around and asked Sain to follow him, continuing a more detailed conversation in the workspace but, just a few steps, he said, the four men were stunned to see Rasila running while carrying the unconscious Gaia, the face of the woman who was undergoing the punishment was deathly pale and the corner of her lips was a stain of blood.

Rahid's heart beat fast, this feeling is more frightening than revenge but Rahid tried to brush it off.

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

Sain immediately ran first after Rasila. Panic hangs clearly on the Sanctia guard's face especially after seeing the necklace gift is not bright with a rift here, but at that time Sain also found another necklace embedded in the neck of Gaia's level.

"The doctor will be here soon." Rasila panicked and continued to clutch at Gaia's weakened hand.

"Let me. The doctor can't handle it except me."

Sain then took off the bracelet and placed it on Gaia's wrist and slowly drained the power to control the enslaving divine power of Gaia. Bracelets with the same material from the necklace have minimized pain so that Gaia's breath is slowly more stable and the wrinkles on the forehead due to pain have faded.

After feeling everything was better, Sain then glanced at the door, where Rahid and the two young men had just followed.

"Why can Gaia be like this?" Sain stared irately at Rahid. Gaia will never forget to change the necklace if it will expire.

"He is serving his sentence. Maybe the conditions in prison made him uncomfortable." Rahid answered behind a cold, flat face. Even so, his gaze could not be separated from Gaia who was lying down without opening her eyes.

"You imprisoned him?"

"He saved the witch's children and then offended me. That was the lightest punishment I ever gave him. Besides why he's so weak, it's only been three days since he's been in jail."

Sain was really angry with what Rahid said and then unconsciously he spoke while raising his voice. "If it wasn't for you, Gaia wouldn't have continued to experience life-threatening situations! If it was too late just a little, the holy power would engulf his body in eternal sleep!"
