The Deal That Punished The Tyrant

"It turns out you can give me that warm smile" Rahid said with a small smile tucked into his lips.

In an instant Gaia was amazed, momentarily forgetting that the man with the obsidian tub was a tyrant who wiped out the entire royal family. Not the haughty, sarcastic, or cynical smile as usual, the smile that Gaia was currently seeing was so warm and deep.

"Did you know your mistake and come to see me?" Rahid looked at Gaia's hand which looked smooth but was rough and contained calluses.

"Yes. I'm sorry, Your Honor." Gaia.

Rahid then released Gaia's hand while changing position to sit back. Gaia then stood up with a low gaze, avoiding eye contact.

"Your previous words, I'm sure aren't just ordinary sentences. What's the strangeness that you've discovered from Duke Agneto?"

Gaia flinched, turning her face away while clenching her lips tightly. Where maybe Rahid believes what he says and it could be, the answer even raises a strange perception that makes his family cornered.

"Just calm. Me and Duke Agneto did not have such a close relationship, I just slightly extended the chain around his neck so he looked free around me." The uterus folds yangan on the chest while crossing the legs.

Duke Agneto assisted Rahid in slaughtering the members of the royal family and thanks to that Duke Agneto was still able to maintain his position. But soon, Duke Agneto will be the strongest opposition to Rahid because of what Gaia knows, Duke Agneto continued to seek the attention of the fearful people when Rahid became the new ruler of Retkan through a bloody coup and Gaia was very confident that it was possible that Duke Agneto would lead the rebellion in the future, not the family of Israel.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, but I—" Gaia was about to refuse to give an answer, but Eslan's words re-emerged in her mind.

"It's very likely that Duke Agneto could use black magic to instill a curse." Gaia finally tells a little truth.

Rahid's face turned serious. "Why do you think that?"

"That's ... I accidentally met him. Then, after Duke Agneto left, the knights that Duke Agneto touched on the shoulder including Dame Rasila started to show strange reactions."

Rahid stood up to surprise Gaia. "You met Duke Agneto? Then, did Duke Agneto also see you while handling the knights?"

Gaia's head bobble. "It doesn't seem to."

"Huh ... "Rahid sighed while touching the temple.

While conducting an investigation into a group of people belonging to a strange sect related to black magic and curses, Rahid discovers that all are connected to Duke Agneto.

"Did everyone know you could cure the curse?"

Gaia's head bobble. "So far people only knew I cured diseases and minor injuries, but today's events must have spread to the outside of the palace."

"You don't have to worry. I've ordered Argio to handle it."

Gaia seemed relieved to hear it while the intention of handling from Rahid's mouth was to finish off those who could not keep a secret inside the palace. The knight army will definitely shut up because they were Rahid's confidants before coming to the palace more precisely it was the military forces of the Northern Region's Duke. Rahid swapped the native troops north to be taught the new loyalty of the middle-aged man who claimed to be his guardian. Damien Askor, ruler of the north.

"You better rest. Since Retkan I took over, no party has been held as a celebration of the change of power."

"You want to make a big party?"

"Ah, of course you must be present" Rahid continued.

"Yes, of course. I'm, right, your ladyboy."

Rahid moves the index finger as a rebuttal. "At the feast came with your family, not as my lady-in-waiting but as the successor of the house of Israel. Ah, and tell your father to see me before the show, we have a lot to talk about."

Rahid put on a smile ending the sentence and it made Gaia squint her eyes suspiciously. "What do you want to do with my father?"

"Geez, I didn't know there was this whole tiger in the House of Israel" Rahid sneered as he watched Gaia's eyebrows swoop steeply along with slightly pursed lips to stifle hidden emotions.

"It seems you've seen it wrong, don't I look more like a lion" Gaia licked up to successfully escape a short laugh from Rahid.

Not responding to Gaia's words anymore, Rahid walked to the bed and lay there, moving his hand to get Gaia closer.

"What do you need?" ask Gaia.

"The sun is about to set."

"Then?"

"If you're happy, use your powers to help me sleep. I think I can be a little more comfortable if I get it."

"You want to sleep? The sun hasn't even fully sunk yet." Gaia threw a glance at the orange light that entered the room.

"Just do it."

"You don't even want to have dinner first?"

"I just found out that a ladyboy is very chatty" Rahid said.

Seeing the black circumference under Rahid's sharp eyes, Gaia did not argue anymore and began to give a little comfort through her holy power. Just like overcoming a curse, the sacred power of Gaia can get rid of discomfort in the mind, such as clearing bad thoughts before going to bed so that the subject can sleep comfortably.

"You're the one everyone fears the most, but who would have thought you were afraid to just close your eyes long enough." Gaia chapped on the sidelines of the blessing process. Gaia's right hand was located above Rahid's pair of eyes.

The corners of Rahid's lips were slightly attracted, creating a faint smile. "My mom always shows up if I'm in the dark too long. It was more painful than receiving a large incision in the body."

Gaia was speechless, and Rahid stared at her without a word as the man's hoarse voice slowly weakened after the file cleared away the negativity in her mind.

"I ... Just wanted to forget the sad death of my mother. Guess ... I'm more afraid of being alone again ..."

Gaia pulls the hand and finds a rather heavy snoring escaping from the uterus. What Eslan said was true, Rahid was indeed full of wounds, that was what Gaia thought. Even to sleep alone, Rahid still felt the wounds in the past.

"You shouldn't say that to a dying man." Gaia ducked while grasping Rahid's rough big hand.
