The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

24| Sain Treatment

...HAPPY READING...

"Have not seen you for a long time, Sain."

"It's great to see you again, Gaia."

Sain slashed the distance and then cupped Gaia's head before finally landing a light kiss on the forehead, it was thanks to what Sain used to do every time he met Gaia.

They are currently in Sanctia Park. Gaia decides to meet Sain after many missed events. Though the beautiful-looking man often came to the palace to help Rahid find cursed objects but there was no time to just greet Gaia.

"Sister!"

"Withia?"

Gaia immediately turned away from Sain and welcomed Wysia's embrace which almost knocked her body down. Her sister was always excited in many ways and therefore Gaia felt her days were always crowded since Wysia was present in her life.

"What are you doing here?" Gaia cupped Wysia's face until the girl's lips came forward with bubbly cheeks.

Wysia put away Gaia's hand on her face and began to shed tears followed by a slowly shrill cry. Sain immediately avoided Gaia's eye contact demanding her explanation, it was enough for Sain yesterday to accept all the annoying attitude of Wysia who did not accept that Gaia did not live long.

Finally, after calming Wysia down, Gaia asked what the culprit was and at that time Wysia was angry and again ascertained what he was experiencing and Sain's answer was true.

"Yes that's right."

Wysia tightly gripped her dress skirt then stared fiercely at Gaia. "So you want to torture us?"

"T-no, don't you, Wysia. Brother just wasn't ready to tell you."

"When? Until brother left without saying anything then we were locked up on the question of the cause of sister's death?"

Gaia could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, so she cried. It was not such a thing that he wanted, but if his family and the surrounding people knew if everything would be fine until that day? Gaia does not want her treatment to change, she wants everything to go as if she will not die sooner so it feels a little relief.

Sain was stunned to see Gaia who was sitting on the garden chair lowered her head while covering her face using both hands. The woman's body trembled and went up and down as the sound of her crying faltered.

Wysia was flabby, she was about to hug her brother but Gaia did not even answer her every call other than that it seemed like Gaia's crying was so painful.

"Geah ... " Sain called out softly.

Gaia continued to cry in a small voice. In reality, the pain was coming again and the necklace hiding behind the dress was already cracked. As much as possible Gaia used her cries to hide the pain and ignored Sain who was calling. However, it was only a few seconds before Sain forcibly opened the two hands he used to cover his face.

"When has this been, Gaia?!" Sain's eyebrows swooped sharply at the beautiful hazel Gaia turned amber as well as the cracked necklace pendulum poking outwards, caught by her sight.

"S-saint."

Sain closed his eyes for a moment to neutralize the seething pain in his chest, feeling full and tight. After that, Sain immediately took off the bracelet in his hand to put it back on Gaia's right wrist.

The water flowed a lot from the eyes which showed immense pain, Sain could not see which area on Gaia's face was not wet, it was really a bad sight for her.

"Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. Calm down, soon the pain will go away, calm down ... Relax ... "

Sain carried Gaia in his arms, rubbing the woman's back head full of tenderness and calmness and slowly her body did not tremble anymore and the roar of breathing began to be regular.

"I'll call you, Wysia. Now clear your mind."

Sain then carried Gaia's body, allowing the woman's consciousness in her trunk to thin and be dissipated by pain-induced fatigue.

"Yes." Yeah."

Wysia answered listlessly. The scene just now became a blow to Wysia, Sain could realize it just by seeing how Wysia's expression was when she saw Gaia's condition just now. The bright gaze of the young girl was suddenly empty and dark even the tip of her fingers seemed trembling and cold, hurriedly Wysia cupped her hands together, trying to calm herself down.

"How long did you hold all that back? How much pain is that? How can you hold him?" Wysia again cried in silence, staring at the back of Sain who was not caught again by his vision.

...***...

"So you decided to stay longer in Sanctia?"

Gaia had been awake since noon, but Wysia was reluctant to talk to her and just silently looked down, hiding her careless eyes and flushed cheeks, the base of her nose became red from crying, she said, Gaia became a little guilty even though it felt very happy to know how much Wysia felt about her.

"Yes. I will demand the gods not to take you away from me." Wysia turned her face away.

Gaia chuckles and breaks the top of Wysia's head, while not far behind them, Sain looks dreamy. Gaia tells the pain and how long the necklace lasts, a very bad condition.

"Will you go home alone?" ask Wysia.

"I asked Sir Argio to pick me up, maybe he'll be here soon."

Not long after that, a man riding on a gallant dark horse stopped and went down, approaching Gaia who was focused on talking to Wysia while Sain had put on a face of carelessness realizing that the young man was not Argio but Rahid.

"Time to go home."

Gaia was flabbergasted as a pair of big, stocky hands slipped on her waist without excuse followed by thick lips barely touching her earlobe while whispering to take her home.

"Maid?" Gaia immediately turned her head until a pair of the base of her nose both rubbed slowly.

Rahid smiled thinly while Gaia only knitted her eyebrows but it was not long because Gaia hurriedly pushed Rahid and looked at Wysia's wide gaping mouth.

"Why not Sir Argio?" ask Gaia.

"He had another job" Rahid lied, in fact he intercepted Argio who was about to pick up Gaia and gave a new task suddenly.

"Are you going home, Gaia?" Sain approaches, being near Wysia, confronting Rahid.

"Yes. Please take care of my sister, Sain," pinta Gaia who was then followed by a nod by Sain.

"Come here then." Sain asked Gaia to come closer after her hands opened to greet the approaching Gaia.

Rahid frowned in wonder, not knowing what the priest was going to do but all of it was answered in a split second as the priest's rosy lips landed right in the middle of Gaia's forehead.

"If anything happens, I will come soon so do not push yourself too much" whispered Sain who then nodded by Gaia followed by a small smile that appeared. Whereas on the other hand, the tail of Sain's eyes glanced at the jealousy hanging clearly on the tyrant's face and it made Sain a little happy.

"Don't make Sain burdened, be a submissive child, Wysia then don't linger in Sanctia because mom's dad must be worried about you."

Wysia gave a weak nod while squealing unhappily at the two men who seemed to be fighting through gazes as if fighting over her brother. Not accepting with that, Wysia then hugged Gaia tightly and landed a kiss on the forehead, right-left cheek and last on the chin. This certainly surprised Gaia because Wysia never behaved like that, Gaia thought it was all because Wysia was still sad about the reality she was going through but she did not know that now her sweet sister was throwing a cynical smile and sarcasm at the two men who were looking at her irritatedly.

"of course. As long as I'm not on the big brother's side, be careful as there are plenty of ferocious beasts that can pounce on you at any time." Wysia then took off her hug, smiling meaningfully behind her suppressive sentence.

Gaia doesn't understand but nods her head and lets Rahid help her ride the horse. Now Rahid was in control of the horse with Gaia sitting in front of him.

"Is that some kind of blessing?" rahid asked after they stayed away from Sanctia.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why do you also need blessings?"

Gaia smiled as she looked far ahead. "So then, maybe I need it the most, just like you." Gaia then glanced at Rahid while smiling.

Rahid just kept quiet and watched Gaia with a look, it felt as if Gaia's face was getting pale and weakened.

"If the odds are right, you can count on me. I don't think that priest is the only one you can put on your back."

Rahid's words succeeded in making Gaia stunned so that a second later a very sincere smile appeared on her pale lips. "Yes, I'll try."
