The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

"Ukh!"

Gaia woke up late at night complaining of pain all over the body, especially the heart that felt intense throbbing. Slowly the crack on her necklace stone appeared so hurriedly Gaia looked for the box where the same necklace was located.

"Yes ... Haa ...Haha ... "

Sweat floods the neck and temples. Gaia managed to change the necklace but the pain still felt faint. It was the first time Gaia felt such excruciating pain and the woman knew the cause. The sacred power of Gaia does repel curses but in reality the curse is absorbed into the body and then purified by the holy power even though the number of curses received and the holy power released has a comparison.

The holy power came out a little more than the curse that came in, therefore, even though half the holy power was removed, Gaia still had great power. It was because the curse that was purified became a holy power.

As a result of waking up because of the sudden pain, Gaia so unable to sleep again then curiosity about what kind of curse planted in Rahid's body appeared and disturbed his mind. The great curse is not just about magic anymore, but a crash. In order to instill such powerful magic, then one must provide a commensurate collision hence, Gaia began to guess, he said, how much of the tumbar is offered when making a curse in Rahid's body and who did it.

"Ukh! Shit, I didn't even realize the dawn was already in sight." Gaia complains while massaging the temples and leaves the bed to go take care of some errands as a lady-in-waiting. Gaia certainly does not wash, sweep or so on. Gaia's main job is to wake Rahid, prepare the man's clothes, help with bathing, and always accompany him if he wants to travel.

"Where are you going?" 

Gaia blinked when she found Rahid well-dressed but not in noble clothes, it was just a rather dull t-shirt with beige pants combined with brown boots, disguised as a commoner when going outside the palace.

"I have business. As long as I'm not around, use your time for useful things." Rahid then walked past Gaia followed by Argio behind him.

"What about this morning's healing blessing?" Gaia blocked Rahid's path with both hands stretched out. Argio was wide-eyed, this was the first time that someone dared to block and stop his master's footsteps. 

"How darn!" Argio snaps.

Gaia glanced behind Rahid's wide back. He had no idea when strangers were there.

"Then do it here." The uterus slightly lowered and pointed at the forehead, the position where Gaia had to give healing blessings.

Argio gaping wide saw Rahid's strange behavior and thought that Gaia must be happy because Rahid managed to be seduced, but when looking at Gaia, he was very happy, Argio was more surprised because the woman showed an expression of disgust at Rahid who was a tyrant.

"We can do it like yesterday." Gaia tried to refuse.

But Rahid did not like it a little because his neck began to ache because he ducked to align himself with a woman who was a little short of him.

"During the agreement, the first Party belongs to the second Party. Whatever the Second Party commands must be obeyed by the First Party. Did you forget our deal?" Rahid reminded.

Not to be outdone, Gaia then reminded the contents of another agreement. "The first Party shall receive any order from the second Party, provided that the second Party shall not use the body of the first Party for personal satisfaction. It seems like His Majesty forgot about that." 

"So you think blessing is my personal satisfaction? You kidding? My personal satisfaction is that if you serve me in bed, spend a hot, passionate night with me, that's my personal satisfaction." 

"Well?!"  Gaia glared with a crimson face while Rahid tapped her index finger on the forehead for Gaia to immediately give her blessing.

Argio was goosebumps looking at the feud from the two people in front of him. Unlike Gaia who was too upset because she could not argue anymore, Argio actually found the corner of Rahid's lips slightly raised.

"Ukh!" Gaia seemed unwilling, but still did so by starting to catch Rahid's sturdy jaw while fusing his forehead. 

Gaia closed her eyes and slowly a golden light appeared, just yesterday and Argio was amazed to see the holy power directly while Rahid only looked at Gaia's face which was only a few inches away, he could even feel how warm and soft Gaia's breath was greeting her face, but Rahid was a little regretful of one thing, during the blessing process, she said, gaia's eyes had to be closed as if focusing the flow of blessings toward the intended object or subject, so the tan-skinned man was unable to enjoy Gaia's hazel eyes up close.

"It." 

Gaia immediately moved away after doing the task and then rushed from there after bowing low while Argio now squinted to see Rahid stunned for quite a long time.

"My sword hasn't been bleeding for a long time. You want to try it, Argio?" Rahid smiled sweetly at Argio but the knight commander immediately shook his head quickly while holding his neck.

...***...

Duke Agneto comes to the palace to meet Rahid, but on the way to the corridor, he meets Eslan, Rahid's aide.

"Tell me my arrival to His Majesty." Duke Agneto stood tall and haughty in front of Eslan who felt small.

Eslan showed a no less arrogant expression, then he stood in front of Rahid's closed work door. "At this time he is busy and tells me to refuse the arrival of anyone including you, Duke." 

"How dare you look at a person of higher status arrogantly!" hardik Duke Agneto however, Eslan will not forget that behind him there is Rahid who became his protector besides, before leaving Rahid had told him to guard the palace.

"Sorry, Duke. I'm just following orders." Eslan slightly lowered his head with his right hand on his left chest. 

Duke Agneto then went from there with a look of windy face and heavy steps. However, Duke Agneto's smile, after all his original purpose was not to meet Rahid, it was just his wits because his main purpose was to make a mess.

"Good morning, Duke." Rasila greeted as she passed by.

Duke Agneto observed Rasila from top to bottom and smiled. "Good work, Dame." 

Rasila only nodded his head as Grief Agneto placed his left hand over his right shoulder then afterwards Duke Agneto left temporarily from a distance, Gaia only noticed Duke Agneto performing the same actions that were done to Rasila on some other knights. This corridor was indeed close to the training camp of the knight troops so it was natural that the knights were easy to find, but there was something strange about Duke Agneto, that Gaia thought.

"Ah, so are you really working as a ladyboy? Oh my goodness, you are the successor of the House of Israel." 

Gaia jerks. Since when was Duke Agneto behind him? Gaia had to be damned for being too busy thinking about useless things.

"Greetings, Duke Agneto." Gaia raised a little dress while bowing.

"It turns out you know manners, yeah. Greetings are beautiful." 

"of course. This is all thanks to my ethics teacher, what need I recommend her to Lady Irian?" Gaia gave a smile.

The neckline of Duke Agneto stiffened, how dare a marquess princess offended him, but Duke Agneto only exhaled as Gaia might soon be busy because of her actions.

"My daughter is much more ethical. Rather than that, isn't being the lady-in-waiting of a tyrant exhausting enough?" 

"No. I enjoyed it." 

"Tsk! He's so annoying like Abian!" maki Duke Agneto then flashed from there, letting Gaia who was holding back a laugh back there.

"Ukh! Argh!" 

"Eh?" Gaia shuddered in horror. 

"Ukh! Argh!" 

Moans and shouts began to echo within the palace, not more precisely not far from the knight training camp. Gaia immediately ran for the source of the voice while Duke Agneto turned her head while making a smile.

"Let's see, is it true that I thought that woman could cure the curse." Duke Agneto scored a smirk seeing Gaia at a loss when he found some knights roaring like wild animals.
