The Three In One Transmigration
#19 - The Interrogation of the Spy Witch
With the grasp of the huge demon claws floating behind him, Slatanis grasped Sasha in midair. While Sasha, whose body was tightly grasped, could only resign as her eyes stared at Slatanis with terror and fear.
"I have never met you before inside the Palace, and the special servant who served me is not you" Slatanis said, clasping tighter.
'I never thought I could control this hand like my own hands— ah by the way, this waiter looks not suspicious at all. But the Mana he had, though a little, was far above the witch I had killed in the temple grounds back then, ' thought Slatanis.
"Please forgive me... hiks hyks, "Sasha started crying.
And Slatanis grasped it tighter.
"Euurghhhh" youh Sasha with blood started to come out of his nose and mouth. "Ba-baik .. well will I say," he continued for a moment and stopped crying.
"[Wind cut]!" Slatanis and a wind as sharp as a sword cut Sasha's legs hanging to a break.
"Lwaaghhhh! aaaargh! Forgive me! I will say! Please forgive me!" Shouted Sasha as blood continued to pour on his broken leg.
"[Open wound]!" Slatanis said once again and the wounds on Sasha's body also widened
"Aarghhhh!" Eluh Sasha is in pain.
'It's so delicious, for some reason, ' thought Slatanis on the sidelines.
"I ... I was sent, I was sent by Marquis Brandon," said Sasha who had started to limp.
"[Potent Heal]!" Slatanis said and all the wounds and energy that began to disappear from Sasha's body returned to normal along with the golden light that faded afterwards.
Sasha who returned to normal could only be speechless to see how powerful the person she was trying to spy on was. He could feel his entire wound and stamina returning to normal as if nothing had happened.
"Why silence?" Ask Slatanis back.
"Well miss, I was actually sent first to spy on duke Willem, then yourself," he said, looking down.
Slatanis only saw Sasha as if waiting for all the answers that were still being held back by her.
"I can torture you forever, do you know—-"
"Know miss, I know that, please forgive me," said Sasha.
Sasha started telling me everything.
*********
Ever since Willem inherited the dukedom from his late father, Brandon had been his right-hand man from the beginning who had always been in his shadow. Brandon as a cousin and from the branch family is certainly very honored and connected because it has been raised to be his right hand.
Until one day, Brandon saw that all his efforts, all his work, and all his thoughts were always Willem who got praise and name. Duke Willem became so famous because of his name. Because of this, of course Brandon is very upset and envious of all the names and compliments that his cousin got, while he was the one who worked in the shadows.
But despite that, he still accepted everything for the success of their large family, Bellwyne and Ringwyne.
Some time later, as Brandon continued to be Willem's right-hand man, he eventually inherited his title as Marquis of Ringwyne. Nevertheless, he continued to be his right-hand man even though he was already a Marquis.
Brandon the Marquis wholeheartedly served his cousin, without thinking of betraying him in the least. Then one day, a long-time acquaintance and close, a daughter of the king whom he had previously promised to marry, Elizabeth Waldengrace the daughter of the 3rd king Raemos suddenly married his cousin, Willem.
The wrath, sadness and frustration completely filled his heart at that moment. The love and promise they both made has now run aground.
"You .. you took everything from me" said Brandon at his home with his drunken self.
He finally relinquished his position as the duke's right hand, and chose to go home and become a true Marquis who ruled his territory.
After that, time passed while Brandon was still stuck in his past. Even until he married Maribella, the one he had in mind was Elizabeth. When they said the pledge, he almost mispronounced the name.
He really is broken.
Time passed again, until the news of Elizabeth's pregnancy reached her ears. With him still trapped in the past, he can only bite tightly into his molars.
9 Months had passed since he heard the news, and Roland was born into the world.
He also heard about Roland's birth. But along with that, news of Elizabeth's death also reached him.
With the fastest horse he had, he left his wife and ran away to Bellhive without even looking.
A day's journey from Ringwald, he took only half a day.
He could only see from a distance, as his tears continued to flow. Reality had completely grabbed him back then, as if making his tears go to waste. Elizabeth wasn't his, but she cried so hard to see the coffin coming down.
He continued to weep lamenting Elizabeth's departure from the distance, until finally, at one point he stopped crying for a moment to see Willem who was not crying at all.
"You took everything, but now ... now you just throw it away" Brandon said with a look of anger and envy.
From then on, he began to try to find a way so that Willem could not get anything he wanted anymore. Until finally he really chose the most extreme way, namely by using a Witch to curse Willem.
*********
"Meh, Sinetron is very boring," said Slatanis looking down at Sasha. "My mom loves a story like this."
"Sinetron?" Sasha looked at him confused.
"So, from there he began to plot everything to bring down duke Willem, then curse him with the curse of death?" Slatanis asked as she began to store both of her weapons into the Inventory.
"Right," said Sasha, nodding.
"OK," said Slatanis. "Then why are you his servant? For it is impossible for a nobleman to have a witch in Houlus, for everything has been monopolized by the kingdom and the temple."
Sasha threw her eyes to the side as if reluctant to speak.
'Hmmm, is he an escape from the pursuit of both? I am fortunate that the kingdom does not know my strength, and the temple has also lost my mark. But this man, he had to run his whole life and disguise himself as a servant in the noble house for not having any form of restraint at all, thought Slatanis beginning to elicit a sense of empathy towards him.
"I Am ... I am actually a pagan .. or so the temple calls us .. The witches outside the temple and the non-Elahirim," said Sasha, raising her voice as she turned her face away.
"Is ... are you someone from the temple? Will you take me?" Ask Sasha back.
'Wow, a fact I didn't expect at all seemed to have just been revealed by him, ' thought Slatanis. 'If the pagan designation for the free witch is outside the temple, then I am also one of them.'
"Not .. in fact, I am also a pagan," Slatanis said.
"Wah~," Sasha was stunned by her shining eyes looking at Slatanis as if hopeful. "With that much power, with magic that I have never seen before, if you are a pagan as well, then we can free the witches they have captured together! But ... But why are you here? Why don't you ... Why don't you help us?" Suddenly she let out tears.
Unlike the crocodile tears before, now he really looks as if he is remembering his dark past.
Slatanis who witnessed that could only be silent.
'Pagan? Are those who call me also Pagans? And did their purpose in calling out to me be to save their brothers from the temple?' Slatanis thought while recalling the time he was called and when he was being interrogated in the great temple.
"Do you know about summoning magic that uses a lot of sacrifices?" Ask Slatanist.
For a moment Sasha was shocked as if she did not believe what she heard.
"Hahhh~ even you know about summoning magic" Sasha said. "Yes, I know. And ironically, the special group formed by our movement had also planned to summon the supreme entity, but they never returned."
'So they .. hah~,' thought Slatanis and began to sigh.
Slatanis unleashed all of his magic, including the [mirror dimension] and [dimensional lock] that separated their space. That way, everything that has been damaged was back to normal as if nothing had ever happened, because basically everything happened in the mirror dimension.
Sasha was amazed to see everything back to how it was when the grip of the big claw had disappeared and released his body just like that.
"You go, and forget about everything that happened here. And .. Try not to say anything about me to your master, and I believe you will say nothing of my power to anyone, for we are the same. As for the affairs of duke willem and marquis brandon, it was their affair, I felt I had no obligation to interfere. So, Go!" Slatanis said as he turned.
"Well," said Sasha, looking down and then standing with her body that had become old, even her torn clothes also returned to normal. "Actually .. I could have said nothing to Marquis Brandon if you wanted to, but why did you let me keep saying it?"
"You have a responsibility to keep reporting it, so rather than it incriminating you, you better just say it but not all of it. Tell me I'm just like you" Slatanis suggested.
"Thank you Miss, you are so kind" said Sasha, bowing with gratitude.
"Go away" said Slatanis, turning his eyes away. Sasha went out of the room.
"It's very confusing" Slatanis said with a sigh. "Socialist magicians, extremist shrines, Authoritarian kingdoms, hahh~ this world really makes me dizzy."
