The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

...HAPPY READING...

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

I have no choice but to obey, finally Argio prepared to take Gaia to prison but the blonde haired woman drew Argio's sword sideways at the waist to fend off the tyrant's sword until it slipped from her grasp and simultaneously released the sword of Argio to the floor.

"I'll accept punishment, but don't push my family away."

"I'll execute your family."

"Fill the deal we made. I will give you the final blessing to lift all your curses but don't punish my family because the main culprit is me."

Gaia then forcibly grabbed Rahid's two hands, cupped him while channeling his immense holy power until a blinding light wrapped around them, and then wrapped around them, everyone there closed their eyes while Rahid's eyes widened to see Gaia's hair turning golden along with amber's eyes that turned very clear and beautiful. However, it did not go on long enough because Gaia had pulled away with a body that had become weak and touched Argio's hand to remain standing firm.

"Now take me to jail."

Without a word and staring at Rahid again, he immediately followed Argio to prison while Rahid was stunned to feel his entire body so light and energized, there was no pain whatsoever that pierced his skin every day.

"Do you think your actions can ease the punishment?"

Gaia stopped then glanced at Rahid in disappointment. "I'm just fulfilling our contract and I hope you don't touch my family, according to our agreement. I don't even care if you execute me now."

Afterward Gaia completely stayed away, leaving Rahid dumbfounded while staring fixedly at her back. Now that only the cell poles and straw mats were visible in Gaia's eyes, the hall ahead was lit only by flames.

Slowly the sun was getting lower, the prison room was getting darker with piercing cold air. Not long after an officer came to bring food into his cell but just glanced at him Gaia reluctantly. If it continues to be in the cell will Haetric's plan succeed? Only that continues to disturb his mind plus does Rahid really intend to make Irian as queen? Just imagining making his chest tight, he understood that liking Rahid in this condition was futility, after all even though he could get the love of the tyrant, his fate was not supportive.

...***...

The next day, chaos broke out in the capital before creeping into the villages. Unexpectedly the residents in the residence of the nobles rampaged, lost their minds and ran out to attack the villagers did not stop there, until there, duke Agneto deployed an army openly to besiege the palace because even in the palace some of its inhabitants were crazy because of curses and black magic.

At the top of the tower located in the middle of the city, Haetric folded the yangan on his chest while stretching out his hands, letting the aura of darkness slide free from his dancing palms as if becoming an instructor in a musical performance. The witch's smile was very wide to see the smoke rising in the city, enveloping a clear day with dense fog from houses devoured by fire.

As per his plan, the objects worked so well that he could control some humans to create chaos and then spread curses. Today he will see the destruction of Retkan, enjoy the scenery where the lost human mind attacks the human who is still reasonable, this is very fun. Fortunately, his plan to trap Isra had Gaia arrested, so he would not have to worry if this plan was destroyed.

Meanwhile, Rahid sent a letter to Damien to help the chaos and ordered the Israeli marquess to evacuate the residents. Despite knowing Rahid had made Gaia a prisoner for a crime not committed by her family, Marquess Israel could not stand by to watch the casualties.

"Your Majesty, that Lady doesn't seem to be okay."

A prison guard came to Rahid who was about to see the situation outside.

"Who?"

"Lady Gaia's. He whimpers in pain and his nose keeps bleeding."

Without a second thought, Rahid immediately ran to the prison to see Gaia but once there how astonished he saw Gaia squirming with her head bowed. The white dress that the woman was wearing had been filled with a deep red stain, not only from the nose but blood was coming out of her mouth.

"Open the cell!"

Rahid immediately gave orders to the guards then went in to take Gaia out.

"Did someone poison him?" Rahid glanced at the officer there.

"No, Your Majesty! He didn't even touch the food."

"Hurry up and call the priest!"

...***...

Currently Rahid with Argio staring fixedly from the conditions outside the palace of the tallest building. Fortunately the palace walls were built so high that the lost man was unable to climb nor managed to break down the main door but the sea of fire became the saddest sight in the depths of the night.

"How is this Your Majesty? Looks like this will last long enough." Argio seemed skeptical looking at the crowd outside the palace.

"We have no choice but to kill those who are crazy."

"The scuff will be destroyed." Eslan joins Rahid's side.

"What about Lady Gaia? Isn't he mamp—"

"Did you think such a condition would help?" sergeant Rahid swerved sharply towards Argio.

"Sorry, Your Honor. Lady Gaia has come to a realization." Rasila came and told Gaia the situation.

Argio and Eslan looked at each other and then wanted to follow behind Rahid but the master threw a furious gaze until finally the two aides chose to observe the situation outside the palace.

While on the other hand, Sain who was busy taking care of the citizens did not have time to see Gaia, her anxiety increased after knowing that the chaos was increasing and surely Gaia would not be silent but, instead, she was worried, without Gaia's help, everyone would die under the curse.

"You don't drink poison or be poisoned. The pastor also said that your condition is fine, so what kind of trick are you trying to do to get out of jail?"

There was no knock on the door, precisely the unsubstantiated accusation that Gaia found from the gallant man who had just entered the room. There was no one here and Gaia already knew what was going on outside. Soaring smoke enveloped the beauty of the palace, flames blazed ferociously outside the walls, then many victims filled the palace grounds. As he expected, Haetric actually created a horror for revenge.

"Would I tell you something?" Gaia left the bed, her legs tired of just approaching the cold-hearted man who still believed that he was betraying.

"No need."

"Haetric's Heaven was burned alive by Queen Hyarras for refusing to instill a curse on your mother, but Queen Hyarras instead captured Haetric's mother's sister and forced her to curse your mother."

"Ah, so that's why you prefer him over me? Is that your pity?"

Gaia rubbed her frustrated face and grabbed Rahid's collar, pulling him so hard that he ducked right over her face.

"Can you be more mature? It's not that problem. Even if you have incredible fighting power, magic and curses are not something you can deal with. Just like them you will also go crazy and hurt everyone including yourself. Please try to meet Haetric, try to make peace with him. You are the current ruler of Retkan, throw away your ego to save them."

"It's easy for you to talk, do you think that the witch will want to make peace when the war she has called now? Than you care about me you seem to worry about it more. You already knew that this was going to happen, right? If you hadn't been on her side in the first place, we could've gotten her done before this happened."

"I can, Rahid. I can do it, but promise me to build a better Retkan and make peace with the witches. You can just fix all the mess I'm gonna finish."

Rahid's feeling was suddenly uneasy with the collar of her clothes being released.

"Look, he's started again."

Gaia then opened the windows wide, showing Rahid the people who had taken refuge in the palace began to lose their minds and run amok.

"If we hide in a place though, the curse and black magic can reach us because now Retkan has been enveloped by his power."

Gaia then looked at Rahid while pointing at one of the towers outside the palace, there was a shadow of a man standing at the top of the tower while spreading every magic that shot out of his hand.

"This time believe me, this time I'm not on anyone's side. Take me to meet him and make a deal, I'm sure we can save everyone, Rahid."
