The Deal That Punished The Tyrant
04| Private Dayang Sang Tyrant
...HAPPY READING...
Unlike the other maids who wear black and white uniforms, Gaia still wears a noble woman's dress just that her appearance looks more simple and not much jewelry attached to her hair and body.
"You look better than ever" Rahid commented.
The tan-skinned man was still wearing sleeping pajamas with a loose knot that showed the chest area and abdominal muscles that protruded and did not stop there, even the cigar smoke from the bone pipe in his burly, large hand was out wild in the room.
"Basen said, a good lady is a lady who is able to carry out her duties well and directs her master not to experience bad and difficult things." Gaia approached the window of the room that was still covered in curtains, now Rahid's room was really dark even though the sun was high.
Rahid chipped his chin while staring at Gaia who without a cue pulled the curtains rough until in a blink of a pitch black eye Rahid was closed because the sunlight glared vilely.
"Did not Basen tell her that a lady-in-waiting should be gentle to her master?" Rahid sneered while confirming the knot of pajamas.
Gaia opened the wing windows one by one in the room and the smoke of the chest-stifling cigars slowly reduced.
"Where's my food?" Rahid had been sitting on the sofa not far from the bed.
Gaia slightly rubbed the base of the nose because the cigar smoke disturbed her even though Rahid had stopped cribbing.
"You should take a shower before breakfast."
"What?" Rahid knits eyebrows.
"After being neat and fragrant, I will take you to the dining room. If you eat with such an appearance, I don't know how many mouths will gossip about your appearance as the ruler of Retkan."
Rahid's lips thinned followed by cold eyes and it made Gaia's hair slightly stand up but, this action is the right thing.
"Only a fool would dare to gossip about me after knowing I killed everyone who offended me." The uterus lifts the corners of the lips haughtily.
Gaia's breath seemed to be choking. Just now a murderous glint emanated from Rahid but in an instant the man smiled brightly and stood before him. The distance between the two is only an inch and Gaia thinks her neck will be cramped if it takes longer to look at Rahid's face because the man who is six years older than her is quite high.
"Why shut up? I said I should take a shower before I eat."
Gaia nodded and hurriedly lowered her head. "I'll call the usual ladyboy setting up an— bath"
In order to go out and tell the other ladies, Gaia's wrist was blocked by Rahid.
"What's up, Your Majesty?" ask Gaia.
"My dear is just you so now it's your job."
"Huh?"
As if knowing what Gaia's thoughts were from the look of surprise shown, Rahid immediately took off her sleeping pyjam, leaving only shiny black pants.
Gaia's pupils slightly shook to see the appearance of the body over the whole Rahid. Perhaps because it was dark, Gaia did not see clearly. The body of the violent man before him was extremely pitiful. Half of the body is completely black also looks very stiff besides that Gaia can see there is a slight wrinkle between the eyebrows Rahid since earlier, maybe the man is enduring the pain.
"I never told another lady to help me take a shower or get dressed. Basen takes care of everything. Now you get it, right?"
Gaia turned her face while biting her lower lip. It felt like he had become a bad person after thinking that Rahid had deliberately asked him to help with the bath as he was about to play tricks on him.
"Stop that and quickly prepare for my need to take a shower." Rahid placed a thumb on Gaia's lips that could bleed from being bitten hard enough after that Rahid returned to the sofa, ignoring Gaia who was still stunned to receive her treatment.
Since that conversation, Gaia more silent especially when hair wash and wash Rahid's body, then switch to help the man wearing luxurious clothes typical of a ruler.
Rahid used to wear dark gloves on her blackened left hand but, before putting on the gloves, Gaia grabbed Rahid's left hand and cupped him warmly.
"What do you want to do?" Rahid was a little confused.
"Related healing."
Rahid answered no more and let Gaia bring her left hand closer and fused with her forehead. Rahid could feel a hint of warmth from the tip of his fingers that came into contact with Gaia's forehead. Slowly a golden light appeared and entered his hand.
The warm sensation with a tickling little sting was obvious then Rahid vaguely felt comfort in part of his cursed body.
Gaia takes Rahid's hand off and exhales slowly. It was really crazy, Gaia thought. I don't know how much curse is embedded in Rahid's body because the holy power he just gave does not give a great healing effect even though some of the holy power he has exerted.
"Then let's have breakfast, Your Majesty." Gaia then withdrew to be behind Rahid's back, letting the tyrant walk first.
Rahid glanced at Gaia at the back, the blonde haired woman was fine despite exerting considerable holy power. If this continues, Rahid becomes increasingly convinced that the curse will disappear as long as Gaia channeled her divine power so she plans to find out who the other masterminds of the curse are tormenting her mother and herself.
"Good job."
Rahid then went out and filled one of the chairs in the dining room and Gaia stood on the right side of Rahid accompanied by Basen who was not far behind him. Since passing into the dining room, Basen continued to smile at him until the old eyes were crescent-shaped. On the other hand, Gaia also gets Eslan gawking like a fool for seeing Rahid come down for breakfast with a neat and fragrant appearance.
"You've seen, haven't you?"
"Yes. His Majesty looks like a real ruler. Ye know? Your Majesty had breakfast with a cool appearance, not sleeping pajamas!"
The dame in the knight camp were boisterous while the male knights were instead talking about a new lady who felt familiar to them.
Argio's, the chief of command of Rahid's special knight force frowned as he found the private lady who had changed one of the tyrant's bad habits walking alone in the hallway clearly visible from the training camp.
"Isn't His Majesty off guard?" Argio glanced at the vice-command of the knight army, Dame Rasila.
"Why do you say that?"
"The woman ...if it's not wrong isn't she the one who dares to talk about the curse that His Majesty suffered?"
"Ck, ck, just one look I know."
"Is that woman trustworthy?"
Rasila snorted while holding the sword head that was draped around the waist. "Do not worry about unnecessary things. If he gets in the way of His Majesty, we just need to finish him off. After all, a noble like him had no idea how difficult it was for His Majesty to be in this position by enduring all the misunderstandings of many people for having to become a Tyrant with a massacre."
Argio grunting. "Don't you talk too much, Rasila?"
"Sorry, Chief."
Argio exhaled and gave the order to Rasila. "From now on, keep an eye on the movements of the lady. He could have devised a bad plan for His Majesty."
Rasila nodded her head. "Ready, Chief."
...***...
At the Agneto Family Residence, a middle-aged man slammed the porcelain cup until the shards were scattered on the tile.
Newspapers a few days ago made his head hot plus rumors surfaced that exaggerated the hidden acidara relationship between the son of Marquess Isra and Rahid.
"To regain control of Retkan, Irian must enter the palace as the crown princess!"
The other people there were just laughing. A brunette with clear bright brown eyes. "The woman has become a lady-in-waiting so there is no way a true romance can exist. If true at least Rahid will put the woman in a better position. Don't worry too much, Duke. Just make Irian move more aggressively to grab his attention."
"You don't know anything about that woman, Haetric? Gaia Kahina Seil was once the future fiance of the late second prince. The second prince was sworn in as crown prince at the age of 16 and Gaia was elected crown princess for having holy power."
Haetric's face was a little surprised to hear Duke Agneto's explanation and it made him know why the old traitor in front of him was so agitated. "That sacred power must only be to heal small wounds not curses."
"People in the Sanctia temple said Gaia was only able to heal small wounds. But considering that the execution was canceled all of a sudden, isn't that weird?" Duke Agneto did not want to lose.
"So what do you want?" Haetric wasn't happy to see Duke Agneto review.
"We just need to figure it out with your black magic. After all, keeping hidden when Rahid was nearing death was a waste."
"You want me to make a mess in the palace?"
Duke Agneto nodded his head. "Yes. Then I'll watch it live."
