The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 140 [Simple But Deadly]

POV Ruby

Aqua gently stroked my head that had kept quiet even though I was the main topic of this meeting.

"Tell me what you want. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

What was that? This Deja Vu feeling...

The elusannya. similar to what you always do when I'm new to doing something good.

This strange habit has been around since I was a kid. Sometimes it sucks because my sister always treats me like a child. But I don't know since when I missed that elusan.

Although the one who did it was someone else.It felt different from when big brother did it.

What could Aqua be...?

...... No. gabe. That's not possible.

What kind of coincidence is that.

Forget it, it's better to focus on what's in front of me. I need to finish this as soon as possible so I can find brother.

"I leave the retribution to you, Prince Aquamarine. I don't matter what it is as long as it doesn't cause a bloody event."

Actually I want to kill and tear them apart. But then what difference do I have with them. I don't want to be that psychopath. But just letting it go is also annoying. Let Aqua take care of it.

Sadists seem to be able to torture without harm.

Now it's more important...

"All I want is the release of the contract with the Empire."

Right, I'm sick of the tittle "Empire Dog"

I want to be free from their hands. I want to leave the empire and not be obliged to guard the empire. I want to wander around looking for my brother, not locked up in this place.

Somehow the proud smile had been perfectly painted on Aqua's face.

"As you wish, My Lady."

The goosebumps! I suddenly got goosebumps!!

Aqua was not one to say such ludicrous things other than Heroine. Actually why was Aqua so kind when treating me?

I'm not heroin!

And I also don't remember ever doing anything that made Aqua fall in love with me until she was pregnant!

Because I'm her fiance?! Just because of that!? Don't believe me!!!

Normal POV

Aqua was somewhat confused by Ruby's expression. It was as if he had seen that expression before.

"His skull looks like a Tiara when he sees a bucin," his inner self.

"Emperor, you hear it for yourself. What are you gonna do?" asked Aqua grinning.

The Emperor seemed very unwilling to let go of the Arsilla Family. The family had been faithful for centuries and became the greatest power of the empire. Of course he didn't want to just take it off. Especially because the Arsilla family can only have one child every generation and the alternation of generations occurs hundreds of years.

Letting Ruby go free means letting go of the Arsilla family from that generation.

It was a tough and influential decision. To decide that, create a great conflict within the Emperor. If he could he wanted to do everything in his power to keep Ruby in the empire. But looking at the determination of the girl, it seemed that it was impossible.

The Emperor could have forced him to stay. But in exchange, Aqua would definitely do all she could to fight the Empire.

"....... Alright. But please allow me to make the terms," the Emperor replied after a long thought.

"Are you in a situation where you can apply for a condition?" syndicate Aqua.

"But okay, just say it."

The emperor was racing for a moment at the Machioness who made himself have to give up the greatest power of the empire.

"Please promise me, even if Arsilla is no longer an imperial power, at least they will not be enemies of the empire."

Hearing that pretty annoying condition, Ruby held Aqua's hand so that she would answer.

"I can't promise because I don't know what will happen in the future. But I promise, I won't be the other party's power and I won't be an enemy of the empire unless the empire has already touched something that shouldn't be touched."

"That's enough. I know you can't forgive my brother and nephew. But I hope your anger doesn't involve the other party" the Emperor replied.

"I never thought it was that narrow."

Aqua smiled. I don't know why she feels like her sister is grown. It seemed like the problem Ruby had with the Empire was already resolved.

"But with me still not" he said suddenly destroying the calm atmosphere.

"!?"

The Emperor and the others flinched. Isn't it enough that the empire unleashed their greatest strength? That's what they think.

"Simple, I can't forgive a creature that dares to lay its hands on my fiancee" Aqua replied coldly.

The emperor breathed heavily. He had expected that Prince Vittacelar would not take this off so easily. Because indeed the Elves are the vengeful type. They will reply 10x fold to the person who gave them the flowers and 100x fold to the one who threw the trash at them.

Although Machioness's gaze looked clear and asked for help. The Emperor simply glanced at him as if to say, "I can't help you this time."

"Please don't involve innocent people, Prince."

"Don't worry, Sire. I'm not that kind of person."

Aqua tapped her finger at the table.

"My engagement doesn't allow bloody scenes. So I thought long enough, what kind of reply should they receive."

"Then a brilliant idea popped into my head."

Everyone swallowed his saliva. What comes out of the child's mouth is not simple.

"It must hurt to be ignored by others when he (Ruby) needs. This is also a good punishment for people who like to close their eyes on the misery of others" Aqua said.

It seemed like the others could make a picture of what Aqua was going to say next. Although what Aqua would later say exceeded their speculations.

"First I want them both in the lock on the Capital and... Announce to everyone in the Empire or who entered the Empire! No one, neither human nor demi-human, can speak and interact with these two!" aqua exclaimed with a grim smile.

"Whoever breaks it, be it commoners to the imperial family.they will become enemies of the Vittacelar Kingdom, the Magic Tower and the Raven."

"!!!"

No one could still maintain his calm expression. Once again they were struck by the young man's words.

"Prince Aquamarine!!! Do I have to be treated like this!!?" nedura's screams don't take it.

Aqua glanced at the girl coldly.

"When will I let you call my name?"

Nedura was goosebumps, she felt the same fear again. Perhaps because he was too angry, he had forgotten that this young man in front of him could kill them at any time if he wanted to.

"Ha~ahh..."

The emperor did not think. Already know that person should not be provoked, why would they even provoke him?

"Prince Vittacelar, your decision will not change huh?" tired Emperor.

"No."

Aqua answered him without a stale base.

"Alright, the empire will do it as you wish."

The Emperor had already resigned himself, he could not help the Machioness anymore. His sister's mistake was already too fatal.

"Thank you for the generosity, Sire. Thus, this meeting had ended with the final decision agreed upon by both parties."

Aqua and Ashlan got up from their seats. Followed by the Emperor, Empress and Crown Prince.

"Yes. Thank you for your wise decision to minimize imperial losses."

For a moment indeed the punishment Aqua gave sounded light. Because the Machioness and Nedura were still alive without the slightest injury on his body.

But a lot of people say...

Mental wounds are harder to heal than physical injuries.

Humans are social creatures. This is because they cannot live alone without others. But what if that social connection is broken?

What would happen to the Machioness and Nedura afterwards was only a passing wind but it became a story that taught lessons.

At first they were fine as they could get out of there unharmed. But day by day their situation was getting worse.

After the Emperor announced Aqua's request, the people and nobles became completely ignorant of them. Such a person does not deserve to occupy the seat of the Machioness. So the Emperor revoked his title and sent them both to the outskirts of the capital with a mansion and some equipment.

The first day after the emperor's announcement, they were muddled as their servants and caretakers walked out of the mansion. They had to do their own homework.

Their first week was stressful because no trader was listening to them. So all the money they collected was in vain.

Their first month of despair, they ran out of groceries and no one was willing to sell them. Despite trying to forgive, it didn't work. Somehow they survived afterwards.

After three months, they reached the end and went crazy. The situation where no one thinks of you as a human being but like a rock on the side of the road is very mentally torturing. The mother committed suicide, leaving Nedura alone.

Even at the time of the mother's death, no one cared.

Originally Nedura was full of vengeance and continued to train alone for revenge. But because of the mother's departure, she was alone in this lonely world. The girl's mentality was completely destroyed after being rejected by roadside people as she pleaded while crying or doing embarrassing things to be noticed.

One week after the death of her mother... Nedura dropped himself from the highest tower in the capital as a last resort to get the attention of the people.

Because of these events, everyone in the Empire instilled one thing in them.
