The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

23| Rasila Oath

...HAPPY READING...

The late queen, Hyary Ramone, was shocked to learn that her husband impregnated a famous prostitute in Retkan, Anastasia Herl.

Already born enough heirs from the womb of concubines in the palace, Hyarras did not want the position of his children threatened in getting the throne so secretly Hyarras made pregnant concubines miscarry, pregnancy, leaving children who are young enough because they have been born and then the last target of Hyarras is a child in the womb of Anastasia. The king gave the prostitute a different treatment so that Hisari's fear of her position as the King's favorite wife was eliminated. Therefore, armed with his political power and the support of powerful nobles and families, Hyarras began to move his hands to destroy Anastasia's life.

Inciting the king to hate Anastasia until finally the prostitute was exiled to the north with the baby in the womb, making Hyarras relieved. However, it was not the end of everything for Hyarras as it turned out that the king still often met Anastasia secretly and it proved that the king still had a love for Anastasia. Therefore, the last way he did was to find a witch who could instill a curse on Anastasia and the baby in her womb.

It was at that time, that Hyarras met Haetric's mother, Diana, a descendant of a witch from the ancestral bloodline however, she met, Diana refused his offer so Hyarras was angry and ordered the soldiers to burn Diana alive and the group of children and elderly in public even so Hyarras did not stop so he continued to search the witch met Diana's sister, who had been separated for years, Amorea.

Instead of bidding, Hyarras forced Amorea to do the dirty work. Then, that was the first meeting between Aina and Amorea.

Silver hair and my violet eyes, gloomy, smelly and filthy appearance even both Amorea's hands, feet and neck shaft were snared a chain shackle in the palace's dungeon cell.

Aina fed him on the queen's orders for a month before Amorea died from the numerous wounds received from the queen's whip. However, the queen was not the least bit sad because Amorea had carried out her orders to instill curses and black magic on Anastasia and it would threaten the life of the baby in the womb as well.

It was all Hyarras, but reality was masked and witches became scapegoats for Hisari's greedy wishes.

...***...

Rasila's tears shed along with her tightly clenched lips. Gaia's question was answered by Aina, regarding the fact behind Anastasia's curse.

"From now on come with me to the house of Israel, Lady Aina."

"Sorry, but say—"

"We have to end this fight. I need a lot of support, please."

Gaia cupped Aina's pair of hands expectantly however, Aina did not want to get involved more deeply with this matter.

"I know that you live in hiding because Duke Agneto must be after your life."

Aina slack. That's right, it's been a few months he lived moving around because Agneto's men always almost found his escape. Aina knew the truth that it was Duke Agneto who helped Hyarras capture Amorea and even ignited the king's cruelty to witches.

Aina was about to tell, but it seemed like Gaia already knew so much so there was no choice for her other than to nod and make a smile decorate Gaia's face.

"Then, wouldn't it be nice if Madame Aina were to see Her Majesty?" sahut Rasila's.

Gaia shook her head after exhaling, remembering how Rahid's personality was.

"Didn't he suspect me now? What would happen if I did that? Of course he would think I really wanted to betray by defending witches, because he wasn't a believer with a bit of evidence."

"Then ... What do you want to do?"

"Revealing little by little the truth that duke agneto hid. It's a hunting show soon, right? I will provoke him, therefore, Rasila ... Can you swear to me to keep everything a secret on Rahid?"

Rasila was stunned, her hands were sweaty and agitated. He had served Rahid for quite a long time, keeping secrets of this magnitude made him very burdened.

"I'm just guessing right now, and I guess if I just shut up and let Rahid just think about revenge without knowing the truth behind it, not only will he get hurt, we'll all perish."

"Daughter of Viscount Viren, Haetric. The man was a witch of the ancestral lineage and just like Rahid, he harbored a greater grudge, but ... What would you think if I said that it was the witches who suffered so much and that perhaps the revenge Haetric was going to unleash was terrible?"

Gaia looked down sad and worried. Haetric did not kill him after knowing the truth alone was lucky, the man let it be as if he knew that soon Retkan would be ruined by his grudge so there was no need to dirty the hand. However, it became a hope for Gaia to stop the actions of Haetric and Rahid who intersected each other.

"I am Rasila Salvia sworn allegiance to protect Lady Gaia Kahina Seil with my body and soul."

Gaia's smile was painted as Rasila crouched down with one knee bent while thrusting the sword with both hands in front of her standing firmly.

"I accept your loyalty, Dame Rasila Salvia." Gaia grabbed the sword after releasing it from its sheath, putting it on Rasila's shoulder.

...***...

"He's collected a lot of things that I've worked so hard to do. If this is the case, our army is greatly reduced, right, Duke?"

Duke Agneto shuddered to see Haetric's facial features deteriorate lately. He said the things that were planted with magic and curses were reduced quickly because Rahid had done a massive examination, working with the famous priest from Sanctia.

"No need to worry, I can get back to that thing secretly. All that loot is being purified in Sanctia, it's easy for us to steal it."

Haetric shook his head strongly and then gave a smile full of horror.

"no need. From now on let's move more openly. I will make the nobles come to us even if they have to fight the will of the tyrant"

"How is it?"

"I've ordered the main ingredient, you just stocked it in some areas in the royal forest used for hunting events. Then ... Take advantage of that time to kill Gaia because I can't do it."

Meanwhile, somewhere else, the Sanctia Temple.

Sain is startled by the arrival of Wysia, the charming girl comes while disguised and without escort, meeting him in person. However, that was not the most shocking, but rather a blessing that came to Wysia.

Sain could call it a great blessing, but why did Wysia get it all of a sudden?

"Is my brother going to die soon?"

"Go home, Lady. I'll have the holy knight escort you kem—"

"God showed me! My brother died with his entire body filled with blackened veins! Tell me! Can't you communicate with the gods?!"

Sain's eyes widened. How could Wysia know the blessing she was hiding. Then ... Gaia died that way? Yet someone with a holy blessing like Gaia died in a clean and radiant condition.

"Don't be surprised. It was the Lord who told me to meet you so I could know a lot of the truth."

Sain exhaled and told everyone and said that the vision shown to Wysia was the end of Gaia's life which was already unable to contain the holy power but Wysia brushed it off and said she saw something else.

"It's not just death that I see, there I find everyone crazy .. there comes a war between a man and a witch .... The figure that was said to be protected by Goddess Hecate."
