The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

22| Only blessing?

...HAPPY READING...

Gaia took a deep breath. Until the evening of time spent hearing the story of the man who had taken over Erick's face.

"You just got home at this hour? Where are you actually from?"

Gaia gasped to see Rahid had been standing in the corridor opposite to her. Hurriedly Gaia lowered her head and said she was enjoying the atmosphere in the city longer then immediately stepped up quickly on the grounds of being very tired. Rahid just kept quiet with an unpleasant look, because he knew why Gaia had acted that way since yesterday. After learning that they were fighting each other's lips, the woman continued to avoid him even speeding up the time of blessing.

"So where did he go, Rasila?" The jaw folds the hand in front of the chest.

"To the residence of Viscount Viren, Your Majesty."

Rahid's lips thinned, the look of his eyes became more gloomy. "Did you go in there too?"

"The guard is quite strict, Your Majesty. I could only see that Miss came out accompanied by the masked man."'

"Nl!"'

Rahid's neckline is raised, his hands clenched strongly by implying how angry and suspicious he is at Gaia's current actions. Either it was just because of interest in Haetric or maybe the woman was planning something like treason? Just thinking about it makes Rahid have to remember the past that made him nauseous.

"Keep watching his movements, Rasila."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...***...

Gaia was amazed to see Rahid's body begin to fade the black that originally gnawed slowly, now that Rahid's hands have been clean up to the limit of the arms, that's amazing progress!

If it continues to happen, Gaia believes it will not take up to two months until the man fully recovers. But ... on the other hand, Gaia increasingly realized that her condition was getting worse. Since last night, the necklace that Sain gave him was destroyed in an instant when usually one necklace will be able to withstand five times each pain attacked him.

"The blessing I will give you will be greater from now on."

Gaia looked at the man standing firmly before her, yet it was not a typical gaze as usual, tucked in anger there.

The uterus breaks eye contact and then looks the other way without interest. "Why don't you use all your holy power, it seems you are very excited to speed up my recovery. Did I push you too much?"

Gaia did not know what else she had done wrong until the tyrant looked irritated.

"If used in excess, I can die at any time. If the number of curses that enter is not comparable or more than the holy power then I will die from being swallowed by the curse, moreover, I must keep the holy power within my body normal to keep watch when it is urgently needed because this power of mine is not only reserved for you."

Gaia then confirmed her dress was less neat then wanted to leave the room but, once again Rahid stopped her steps with a question.

"Why are you avoiding me? What's because kissa—"

"Please forget about that night!"

Gaia turned her head quickly accompanied by a sentence that managed to create shock on the tyrant's handsome face.

"Huh? Whatchu mean?" Rahid smiled forcefully with one eyebrow raised, showing deep disappointment and anger.

The incident that night really made Gaia really cross the line and therefore every time she remembered it Gaia felt her heart beat faster and even every time she passed this man, she said, for a moment Gaia forgot to divert attention. Her feelings arise not because of the kiss, but the kiss managed to make Gaia remember all the warm treatment Rahid at all times, the treatment he never got from any man.

Therefore, Gaia did not want to think about it further because if it happened and in the end the time of her life is not long then her regrets will be more and more.

"That night was an accident. It must hold you very dear, after all it's just a blessing, so I'm really sorry for making you so uncomfortable."

"Just a blessing you say?!"

Rahid's eyebrows were steeply adrift followed by a snapping tone until Gaia was surprised for a second and then hurriedly controlled herself.

"Yes. Isn't it a blessing? If it wasn't, I wouldn't have used that night's holy power."

... Giving off a bit of calmness, that was what flashed in his memory the moment Rahid asked.

"What kind of fun will you give me?"

Wrinkles on the forehead Rahid getting stronger, trying to suppress the usual emotions he let out if offended, if, but right now he felt the need to hold back even more when facing the cold woman who was so strong her defensive wall to approach.

"Okay, but I don't think it'll be long."

Gaia then ended the small quarrel by keeping away unilaterally, out of the room in a hurry without looking back again and it made Rahid more unhappy.

"Well! Is he starting to move on to that guy?" inner Rahid.

Tak ... Tak ... Tak ...

Sais jerks at the horse's control rope which is pulling the carriage, where Gaia and Rasila sit in it. On a hot morning, Gaia decided to go to a rural area very far from the city, a village around which is still forest, a place that is quite remote.

Rasila did not know, he should be happy or not because he had previously been sneaking around to find out what Gaia was doing but who would have thought that she was caught so that she had to be in one train.

Gaia herself was just silent while looking at Rasila, this must have been Rahid. Therefore, Gaia so know what made the man so angry since yesterday, maybe she was caught visiting the Vitren family.

"I'll visit Lady Aina's house."

Gaia opened her voice, expelling Rasila's awkwardness with an expression that seemed to say 'actually what plan are you trying to come up with?'

Aina was a noblewoman of the baron family, a former personal lady in the queen's residence. After the massacre, Aina was released and then exiled, her entire family was put to death. The only thing that saved Aina was that due to her respectful behavior towards Rahid's mother besides, Aina did not dirty her hands too deeply on all the queen's crimes.

"Why are you there?"

Sais tugged the horse's control rope to a halt, a simple house with a small courtyard wrapped around a wooden fence had been caught by the eye. Gaia then just smiled in response to Rasila's words before finally getting down from there.

"Please answer me." Rasila blocks Gaia's arm.

"I want to make sure of a few things."

Gaia then entered the courtyard, knocking on the door until someone opened it. Just then, a thin-bodied middle-aged woman appeared from behind the door, looking at Gaia and Rasila with a confused frown on the forehead.

"What are nobles doing in my house?" Aina asked while holding back a vigilant attitude.

Gaia examined Aina's condition from top to bottom until she finally found Aina's right hand wrapped in gloves.

"Can we talk to you for a second, Mrs Aina?"

Gaia smiled brightly as she grabbed Aina's glove-wrapped hand, channeling a sacred power that allowed Aina to feel back her stiff and rotting left hand since the queen's destruction ended.

Aina blinked and then opened the gloves slowly. It became very clean, no longer black and gave off a foul scent. Aina then looked at Gaia curiously and then invited her in after seeing the surrounding environment so quiet.

"Come in."

Then now, Gaia and Rasila filled the wooden chairs in Aina's modest home, not much of a problem in it but Gaia believed it was more convenient than having to live in a troubled palace.

"Thus ... What do you want to ask?" Aina asked after filling the chair.

Gaia put on a smile. As expected, Aina was indeed quick-witted and not long-winded.

"Tell me how the late queen instilled black curses and magic on the late consort exiled to the northern region?" Gaia's smile stretched wide while the two women around her were wide-eyed.
