The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

27| Traps

...Happy Reading...

Never before had Haetric been this anxious. The sky was completely dark as hundreds of monsters came out from hiding. He himself had crippled dozens of monsters using magic but it seemed like the powder the duke agneto had poured out of the forest. For a moment Haetric's mind floated on Gaia along with the increasingly heavy rain.

Ctas —

Haetric's pair of eyes swerved sharply to the left side, unknowingly he immediately flashed quickly and ended up in an area of forest whose surface was drenched in blood and several wolf corpses were planted with black magic by him and amidst a group of wolves that were still fit, which was still very good, Gaia stood up while brandishing the sword trembling.

His legs were trembling, his right arm was bleeding, some clothes were torn and Haetric's eyes caught the red necklace he had given Gaia had been destroyed, she asked him for help.

"No, why did I come. I should've let him die."

Haetric muttered while inching backwards, about to escape but one wolf lunged from behind the woman who was soon uprooted and spontaneously Haetric's hand moved to attack using magic until the wolf jumped before dying.

"It turns out you really came, yeah." Gaia immediately looked at Haetric after noticing that one wolf had fallen without her touching it.

Haetric flicked his lips and approached after flicking a finger, removing the black magic on the wolves however, the wolf's common sense returned to normal and was still ready to attack.

"When do you know that this is my doing, but you call me? You're so brave, yeah."

Haetric caught Gaia's chin with his right hand, forcing the woman to look at him for longer and just then Gaia realized something that the way Haetric looked at her was almost the same as Rahid, although harboring hatred there is as much shady thing that emanates.

"Well, whatever my choice is now, it will end in death, no, but who would have thought that you saved me."

"Well, I guess because I've changed my mind now. Than I kill, you'd better be mine, and it's easy to get you out of that crazy tyrant."

Haetric gave a smile and grabbed Gaia's hip, making their two bodies cling to each other without distance then slowly Haetric's big hand slipped behind Gaia's nape before finally landing a soft sweep over Gaia's ruum lips that were wet by the rain.

"It's so much fun."

Haetric gave a slanted smile to see Rahid frozen behind the trees not far from him, of course the current scene was seen from behind Gaia's back.

Gaia herself was surprised instead of playing, her breath seemed to be stuck in the esophagus when Haetric slightly lifted the mask, only exposing her lips and nose and then put their lips together.

"Why did you do it?" Gaia looked at Haetric with a flash of anger and at that moment Rahid had already moved away from there without a word.

"Why then? Of course because I changed my mind to kill you." Haetric rubbed Gaia's lips with his thumb and then in an instant his hand turned to smack Gaia's nape until she fainted.

...***...

Wysia ran over to see her brother in Haetric's arms. All attention falls on both, especially Rahid who was just silent and looked at Haetric fiercely but it was not long because he immediately approached Haetric and took over Gaia's body unilaterally and took her into the tent.

"Well, what the fuck is that."

"It looks like viscount viren's son will be in trouble."

"It was thought that Her Majesty liked Lady Gaia, not Lady Irian."

Whispers began to rant but Rahid did not care especially when Irian put a sour face while glancing at his father who turned out to look wrathful at Haetric. Though the man first asked her to kill Gaia, but why did the woman survive in her carriage! Duke Agneto really did not understand the actions that Haetric showed.

"How's it?" Rahid folded his arms around his chest while staring intensely at Sain who was busy examining the condition of Gaia's body which had been treated by doctors some time ago.

"It's okay, he'll wake up soon."

"Then quickly finish this hunting event and come back, I don't think it's necessary to announce the winner because I have to do a lot of work." Rahid glanced at Eslan.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

...***...

The hunting event ended badly and the next day an illegal auction was held by the Viren family, this time all the jewels were laid out in front of the nobles who attended the auction, it ran out in an instant.

Haetric did not care, after all the Viren family had indeed been destroyed ever since he stepped into it so the news was that the entire Viren family was arrested for conspiring with witches and using black magic as an advantage, he said, Haetric looked relaxed while enjoying a leisurely time at the residence of the duke agento. Unlike the residence of duke Abian the next day again, where Rahid gave the order to search the marquess house.

"What are you doing, Rahid?"

Gaia firmly blocked the tyrant's arm which was just silent while signing some documents in the study.

"work."

"Not that. Didn't you say you were going to protect my family, but why is there an order to search Israel's residence?"

Rahid snorted and placed the quill pen in the container as he approached Gaia, clutching the woman's chin quite firmly.

"Haetric is a witch, you know that, right?"

In a split second Gaia's eyes bought, but the one stared at reviewed the sarcastic smile.

"It looks like you are lulled in the magician's charm to choose on his side. Though at first I thought only the duke agento was the most dangerous but who would have thought Israel attacked me first."

"What an unsubstantiated conjecture of yours!"

"Don't yell in front of me!" Rahid raised the voice and then released his grip rough enough that Gaia slightly wavered while maintaining balance.

"This morning we got 11 sacks of powder scattered in the Tagh Forest hidden in the house of Israel. The sack was hidden with food raw materials in the sack of wheat. You want to quibble especially? Then when the incident at the hunting event, found the existence of black magic and you even make out with the perpetrator. Other evidence, you saved the witches' children that time plus using this necklace."

Rahid then grabbed a box and threw it in front of Gaia, it was a necklace given by Haetric.

"I've asked the expert, the stone contains summoning magic. It could be you who caused the mess, the victims who fell quite a lot so how are you going to be responsible?"

Rahid's statement made Gaia silent in shock and disbelief. This was clearly planned, but why was his family targeted.

"My family must have been framed. I told you before that I wouldn't betray you, it's in accordance with our contract. Then, what I'm doing late is not planning for betrayal but finding out the truth about the curse you're going through. Trust me, Rahid, this must be duke agneto."

"The truth about me? I believe instead that you are trying to eliminate me and trying to attract the remaining people to cooperate with Haetric."

Shortly thereafter Eslan came while carrying Aina who had been snatched up. Gaia was startled and immediately approached Aina, clutching the middle-aged woman's shoulder in worry.

"You even hid the queen's private lady. That's great, Gaia."

Rahid immediately drew the sword, pointing it at Gaia's neck.

"Your Majesty, please believe in Lady Gaia!"

Rasila suddenly appeared from behind the door, her breathing gasping followed by Argio behind her.

"Gee, it's great that Gaia, even you managed to instigate the people closest to me."

Rahid's eyebrows are firmly adrift, his teeth make a rustling sound with a hardened jaw.

"Haetric and duke agneto will wreak havoc on Retkan, if you don't believe me, many victims will be affected." Gaia stood up after slightly brushing Rahid's sword.

"You think you're gonna believe you?"

Rahid immediately ordered Argio to hold Gaia, but the commander of the force did not move until Rahid pointed the tip of the sword at Gaia's throat.

"Don't fight me, Argio. Would you like to see me slash his neck here instead of being taken to jail?"
