I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Vivian's Decree
Previous story:
Denis is back in the capital. He met the King and knew everything that was going on. Denis gave up on Diana. But he hopes the Duke and his two children will not be affected because they are innocent. And Denis won't call off his engagement. He fought with the king because of it. But eventually the king gave up. Denis can continue his engagement to Eva. But Denis doesn't know that even if they remain engaged, the King won't let Eva be Queen of the land. She would choose the other candidates as Queen and according to her, Reina was a perfect fit for the position.

Duke was imprisoned in the basement alone. His hands and feet were tied and they put up magic tools so that Duke could not use his mana to rebel. Some of the guards and servants were also placed in underground prisons, but they did not get private space like the Duke. They were imprisoned in groups.
Diana was placed in a special prison. It was a place for high-level criminals to be executed. The prison looks worse than the dungeon. The floor was dirty and smelled a few pungent smells. There were some bodies left in some cells and not cleaned by the prison guards for being lazy.
Diana had already been able to open her eyes, but her condition was very bad. He looks like a living corpse. He did not have the strength to move his body because his mana was exhausted. And he's feeling very tired. Even his eyes are blurred. He opened his eyes. But because he felt so tired, he closed his eyes again, asleep.
While Evan was placed in a better room even though it was still a prison. They can't put a baby in jail. So they picked an empty room and put Evan there. Wiya was there to take care of him. Actually, the King ordered the royal servant to take care of Evan. But Wiya knelt down and pleaded with the King, so that he could take care of the baby himself. The king allowed it.
Wiya stroked Evan's hair. After a few hours of crying, the baby fell asleep. Wiya's eyes glazed over and she finally couldn't help it. Tears dripped from his eyes and fell on Evan's cheek.
"May they be well..." Wiya muttered softly.
His loyalty was truly sincere to the Duke and his wife. Although she knew that Diana was a dark witch, she did not have any feelings of hatred or disgust for the woman. She loves Diana.
Wiya is an orphan girl who lives in a small village. At that time he met the Duke and his wife in a bad state. Diana took him with them. Trained him to be a servant. Wiya was very happy. He did not need to live hungry and steal anymore. He actually lived happily with that noble couple and did not want to leave them. Even after Eva and Evan were born, she became even happier. Because he found it more useful to take care of them. In addition to doing the homework he has been doing for years.
Sayn has already started her action. He put his subordinates at some point to investigate everyone's position. Within an hour, he had already obtained some information about the whereabouts of all of them. Even so he had to devise a plan that was quite complicated since he had to make sure everyone in the Duke's residence escaped safely.
Vivian also heard the news quickly. He's really freaking out. This whole day he was back and forth in his room just to think of a plan to help them. But he doesn't know. He had also contacted some people who were familiar with them, but they declined his call. Even the Magic Tower said that he could only wait.
But Vivian can't wait. He finally made a decision. He headed to the palace by train. Everyone let him in easily. He wanted to see the King to plead for leniency for the Duke and his wife. But the King was very busy and did not want to be disturbed. So Vivian was ignored alone in the palace.
Until he finally saw a horde of servants rushing past his sight. Vivian followed them silently with her magic. He arrived at a room that was behind the palace. There were several guards in front of the room, so Vivian could not enter. He simply observed there until the servants finally left the place. At that moment Vivian felt that there was someone in that place. Probably a prisoner because the place was heavily guarded.
Vivian also uses her magic tools. Put the four gatekeepers to sleep and he entered the room. The room looked like a noble room but the ornaments were very shabby. Then suddenly he heard a scream and the sound of a plate falling. Vivian reflexively turned her head and prepared to attack. But he found a very familiar face.
"you...?"
"Miss Vivian!" Wiya shouted happily and hugged Vivian directly.
Vivian asked about the situation. Wiya explained everything. He explained how the King had suddenly come to their place. Diana's identity as a dark wizard. And how Duke and Diana fought. Then how they were herded into the capital and placed in different prisons.
"Evan is here..." Vivian looked at the baby basket beside her.
Wiya.
"Is that little baby okay?" Vivian asked.
"He's fine"
"Did Eva call you?"
Wiya.
Vivian wanted to contact Eva but somehow something held her back. She felt she would only make Eva even more depressed and she couldn't help anything either. But, Vivian steeled her resolve and contacted Eva. Eva answered quickly.
"God..."
"I know what's going on" Eva replied quickly.
"I'm sorry because I can't help anything" Vivian said sadly.
"No need to apologize. It's not even your fault at all" Eva panicked. "I'm okay okay. I'll take care of it. How's it going in there?" Eva changed her question.
Vivian began to explain the situation to Eva. Including the chronological events that he heard from Wiya. As Eva heard everything, she held back her anger by clenching her hands tightly. He really wanted to save them, but he had to be patient now. Then, the conversation of the two girls finished quickly.
"Jaga yourself. Don't get too involved with this matter okay" Eva warned Vivian because she didn't want Vivian to get involved with the matter.
"But.." Vivian wanted to say something, but Eva had already decided on her telepathic signal.
Eva's words made Vivian Semaikin fall. He felt increasingly useless now. Wiya who saw her sad face tried to calm her down. Then Vivian suddenly thought of something as she looked at Evan's baby basket. He wants to do something. He could not stand by when he could help. And this time he felt he could help even if it was just a small contribution.
"I'll do it" Vivian looked at Evan's baby basket with determination. Even if Eva forbids him from interfering, he will. He's already made his decision.
