The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

One by one the knights fell while roaring like possessed people, it happened to Rasila. He was the first to show a strange reaction and Gaia did not dwell for some time on seeing normal knights and court men helping to support those who had gone mad. If judging from what happened before this, Gaia could only suspect Duke Agneto because all the victims had been touched by Duke Agneto's hand when she met a greeting in the hallway.

"How can a human have black magic and instill a curse just by touching?" Gaia was agitated and goosebumps.

Argha!

Rasila shouted loudly, the two men had already restrained her body and Gaia had no choice but to use her strength. Yet for years he hid his original strength that healed the strong by asking the saved to spread rumors that his blessing was only a holy power to treat minor wounds. Not without reason Gaia hid it, Sain said it would be dangerous if people knew her ability and surely the witches would hunt Gaia because it was considered a big barrier in spreading curses.

"No-nona, please stay away." 

One of the knights commemorates Gaia as she approaches Rasila. The black burrows and veins seen in Rasila became a common sight for Gaia.

"W-what are you going to do?" 

The members of the Invicta knights who knew that Gaia was the Marquess' daughter looked panicked when bravely the newly appointed woman as Rahid's personal lady-in-waiting cupped Rasila's face without fear.

"With God's blessed gift, please remove the darkness that torments him." 

Slowly the white light accompanied by sparkling golden particles wrapped around Gaia's body then connected and enveloped Rasila's body. Slowly, the awareness and light in Rasila's eyes appeared but after that Gaia did not wait for Rasila to be completely conscious and looked at him, she instead ran from one knight to another who had been cursed.

Duke Agneto's smile was extremely wide seeing how beautiful it was as light shot out from Gaia's body. It was only fitting that Rahid directly placed Gaia by his side, it was definitely intended for Gaia to be safer within his reach. Duke Agneto was so happy, as if looking at a thousand-year-old treasure.

"The woman must be wiped out immediately, she could have saved Rahid's life if left alone." 

Duke Agneto then left from there along with the strange symbol engraved on his right palm.

...***...

Just back from his knowledge of the radical group who were engaged in the division of black magic, Rahid and Argio were surprised to find the chaos in the palace had been resolved by Gaia, so the report given by Rasila after feeling better.

"Where is that woman now?" Rahid asked.

"After dealing with all of them, Miss fainted and has not woken up until now. Right now, Miss is in her room with the priestess as well as Mr. Eslan." 

Rahid then meets Gaia and sure enough, the woman is still awake. The look of the face did not look fresh and Rahid's eyes squinted at the male priest who was about to put his palm on Gaia's chest.

"Are there no priestesses, Eslan?" 

Eslan was surprised to find Rahid already behind, showing a fierce look on the priest who had pulled his hand behind his back.

"The priestess is on her way here, Your Majesty. I just asked this priest to check on Lady Gaia." Eslan.

"Just wait for the priestess. You can wait outside." Rahid said to the priest.

The priest nodded his head and immediately stepped out, afraid that the sword draped on Rahid's waist would be stretched to his neck.

After the male priest's departure, the long-awaited priest enters with sweat flooding the temple, worried that his slow arrival threatens Gaia's life. Rahid again knitted an eyebrow at Eslan because it was not a woman, but a beautiful-looking man.

"Are you sure it's the priestess, Eslan?" Rahid knits eyebrows.

Sain looked closely at Rahid, trying to judge what kind of tyrant many people were talking about. 

"I beg you to let me heal your maids." Sain pressed the word dayang on Rahid.

Rahid's eyebrows swooped unhappily at how Sain returned the gaze. 

"If left for too long, the lady-in-waiting will not last long because the number of curses in her body is greater than the holy force that tries to purify the curse." Sain explained in one breath, he was getting more anxious because Rahid did not open the way for him to approach Gaia.

Knowing that Sain could see the number of curses and sacred powers that were emanating in Gaia's body and the increasingly paled face of the woman, Rahid finally would not let Sain do the healing.

"Please, Gaia." 

Sain grabbed Gaia's left hand which was drooping limp on the side of the body and then cupped gently while attached to the forehead. Rahid so remembered how the first time Gaia gave the blessing of the healer. 

Slowly a blue light emerged from Sain and entered Gaia's body. Gaia's body reacted slightly, appearing a frown between the eyebrows, a harbinger of receiving Sain's holy power in purifying the curse.

"Aah!" 

Gaia immediately opened her eyes with her mouth slightly open, like someone who had just popped to the surface after drowning. Gaia's blurry vision was slowly clear and the first person she saw was Sain.

"Sain? That you?" lirih Gaia's.

Sain nods his head and the interaction of the two makes Rahid pay more attention. 

"Yes, it's me."

Without a cue, Gaia immediately got up and hugged Sain tightly, sinking her face into the man's neck niche and crying. Just now Gaia felt in the darkness filled with hundreds of red eyes for quite a long time, her holy power had difficulty purifying the darkness that was the cutulan, the main cause is because the number of curses that enter is greater so that Gaia almost died eroded by the curse itself fortunately only Sain's holy power helped her.

"I'm so scared, Sain." Gaia hugged Sain.

Eslan immediately shifted attention to Rahid who had tightened his jaw with his hands clenched on the side of the body. Highlight Rahid's eyes darkened and intimidated to see how Gaia's hand gripped the priest's body tightly.

"When are you going to cry like that? Now, explain to me why the palace could be this chaotic?" Rahid asked with great emphasis, distracting Gaia completely from fear.

Sain looked at Rahid. "As you've just come to your senses, isn't this a little excessive, Your Majesty?" 

"Why do you care so much about my lady? Are you his father or his girlfriend?" cibir Rahid's.

Gaia immediately put her body by holding Rahid's hand behind her back and then looked at Rahid fiercely. Even when the condition is like this, the thick man that night behaved heartless. 

"Why should I? I don't even know anything." Gaia thinks it is impossible to tell that the cause might be Duke Agneto because of what Gaia knows, Rahid is quite close to Duke Agneto there is even news that Irian will most likely be Rahid's partner. 

Highlight Rahid's eyes increasingly hostile especially when Gaia acted to protect Sain from him.

"Of course you are because before your appearance in the palace this had never happened. It does not rule out the possibility that this was part of your plan given that your father was strongly opposed when I was about to offer himself as the successor of the late King at that time." Rahid smiled sarcastically and humbled Gaia.
