The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

34| Relinquish

...HAPPY READING...

Gaia did not blink. His hands were looking forward to Rahid's final sacrifice and now that his body was cleared by the black nerves, the warmer the shade, this was all thanks to the tyrant-status man before him.

Closing his eyes, one last blow that seemed to represent the entire pain ranging from the first sacrifice to the end made Rahid glare violently, the man's eyes flushed with raised neck veins, very tight until his head poked up, staring at the ceiling of the room.

"Ukh!"

Blood spurted from his mouth along with both hands, leaving the dagger still stuck to his left chest.

From up there, Klotho was silent. Unlike the first time, the life-spinning god felt a little unhappy and sad to see Rahid's painful struggle at the end.

"Isn't he very persistent, Klotho?"

The gods smiled faintly, proud of Rahid's sacrifice only for loved ones. The choice of dying many times is crazy only for the love that is even about to be left to others.

Klotho then glanced at Moirai, the goddess of fate. "I wonder how fate is between them. Will they be together?"

Moirai did not reply and only smiled meaningfully while raising his shoulders so that the gods roared in annoyance. Really, they enjoyed the story between Rahid and Gaia, the two humans sacrificed themselves just one of them sacrificed themselves just for someone.

"Just enjoy it, Klotho." Moirai hummed as he moved his finger to have the dagger still lodged in Rahid's left chest detached, dangerous if it was still stuck when it was revived after the sacrifice was over.

"Huh ... Uhh!"

Blood melted out of Rahid's nose, the man fell into the pool pensively filled with pain before falling and drowning and simultaneously a series of memories while still alive attacked Gaia, the woman felt her spirit squeezed strong.

"bid-rahid ... "

Ruh Gaia tried to get into the pool, was about to reach the man because of the sudden memory of entering his head as if to pull him forcibly to disappear.

"bid-rahid ... I love you ... Very ..."

Slowly Gaia's spirit faded but in the midst of the consciousness on the verge of death, the man's tail caught the shadow of the spirit of the woman he loved so much, crying should be while gently sweeping his face with a hand that was like a wisp of wind before completely the two separated.

...***...

"ah! Soscious brother!"

Wysia shrieked to see Gaia's pair of eyelids open slowly, the fingers folded over her stomach began to move. Abian and Hare who also happened to come at the right time then ran while Sain did not go there but to another room, where Rahid was.

When he got there, the pool water was very clear, different from before because this time the surface was decorated with sparkles like scattered gems.

"How are you doing?"

Sain immediately approached Rahid who left the pool with staggering steps and a somewhat absentminded look.

"Do you feel sak—"

Sain asked again but his words were interrupted when Rahid's dashing body was unconscious but Rahid muttered something to bring him back to the palace. Sain had no choice but to ask for the help of the knights in Sanctia to accompany her to escort the slightly apprehensive Rahid.

Meanwhile, Gaia who regained her consciousness instantly circulated the gaze weakly, looking for someone who kept her anxious.

"Where's Rahid?" the question was very weak, almost whispering.

"Of course Your Majesty is in the palace, dear." Hare answered.

"I ma .. u meet."

Gaia had difficulty speaking as if her body had not worked well enough, her throat was very dry so she closed her eyes again, feeling very tired as if she had finished a very long journey on foot.

"Did he faint, Dad?" Wysia was worried.

Wysia and her mother nod their heads and soon meet Sain, but the priest is not there so Abian asks to apologize for leaving Sanctia even though he has said goodbye to all Sanctia residents.

"Dad, brother crying."

Wysia glanced at her brother who was lying soundly inside the horse carriage with his head resting on his thigh.

"Looks like he's dreaming. What a miracle, I can't believe that I can get your daughter back, honey." Hare was crying a hiccup in Abian's arms.

...***...

Two days later, Rahid starts to get busy in the workspace while signing some documents. The man had been silent since yesterday with a difficult expression to interpret even Eslan and Argio seemed confused to find the expression after telling that Gaia had come back to life and was in the residence of Israel.

"I can handle this, Your Majesty. You can leave the palace to visit him."

Eslan tried to persuade, but Rahid only gave her a cold, short look.

"I've sent congratulations through Haetric."

"Why should the witch, Your Majesty? You, right, were all this time waiting for Lady to wake up?"

This time it was Argio who said, and Rahid exhaled a tired breath, although he is currently upset with his condition that refrains from seeing Gaia because after all he has established the heart to let the woman be with Haetric, after all, he had requested that Sain and Wysia not reveal the facts about the sacrifice to Gaia.

"At the same time Haetric should thank him and apologize to him. Then, I can't go anywhere because this document is also preparation for the state formation event that will be held next week." Rahid reasons.

Meanwhile in the house of Israel, a pile of gifts and congratulations had flooded his residence, a great many people who welcomed him even some of the surrounding citizens were outside the gate just to see him, making sure that he really came back to life after saving countless lives.

"When will you lock me up? I have to see Rahid!"

Gaia insisted on asking for approval while yelling and hitting the door locked by her father. He could have escaped by jumping from the balcony, but walking was still limping, as if he had just learned to walk! Gaia hates this condition, she still remembers what she saw when she became a spirit.

"I'm sorry, miss, but you have to stay in the room until you're fully recovered." The waiter outside the door answered him.

Gaia clucked and walked towards the balcony and it turned out there was already Haetric who waved while carrying three bouquets of Peony flowers of different colors to the difficulty of holding it.

"Haetric?"

Haetric took off the mask, then smiled as he entered and placed the flower on the mundar table inside Gaia's room.

"When I met you, Yasril."

A pair of Gaia's eyes widened as Haetric landed a kiss on the back of his hand while mentioning that name. As he awakens, long dreams drown him, he meets Hecate who shows the past he once went through with Hitres, the man now named Haetric.

"Ah, it seems like I really can't get you anymore in life this time."

Haetric chuckled as Gaia turned her face away with a sad shriveled expression.

"It's sad, Haetric. But in your eyes right now I am not Gaia, but Yasril, the woman you loved so much in the past. When I first got that memory, it was like watching someone else's love story."

Haetric swerved then a second later the man gave a short chuckle. Well, that's pathetic indeed. If Yasril were to be reincarnated a thousand times, he would only love Yasril in his first life.

"She gave the flower to you as a greeting, but it seemed to be an expression of love." Haetric glanced at the pile of flowers that had been brought earlier.

Gaia quickly approached the flowers and smiled. "I'll see him tomorrow. Can you help me?"

Haetric smelled a smile. "Of course."
