The Goddess of Revenge
Freedom Calls

Krystal circulated her gaze, the sighting of the room she was in now looking completely different.

“We are still in Midland, You were unconscious for two days, so we decided to settle here until you are aware,” replied Shion.

“Then where are the others? Why are you two here?”

Later Julian and Shion explain the situation regarding the Midland Empire which Krystal has not yet known.

“Your Majesty, actually all the problems that occur in Midland are the work of witches. They wanted the destruction of Midland by hiding all the talented people, then they spread the rumor that Julian brought misfortune to this empire. The palace also believed it, because all the problems that struck coincided with the birthday of Julian.”

“You also before fainting lost control of emotions so that the entire nobility, some witches until the Julian family died in the destruction due to your power. You may not realize it, but this is what keeps you unconscious for two days. And again now the others are cleaning up the remaining witches. We are both here looking after you, afraid something bad will happen later,” Shion explained in detail.

Krystal froze, not a matter of the death of a noble or a witch but she had accidentally killed Julian's family. Krystal turned her head wryly towards Julian, the guilt in her heart was so stifling for that moment.

“Julian, I ask ma—”

“You don't need to apologize, Your Majesty,” cut Julian, “I also know you turned the clock to save me, it should be me who apologized for running away without explaining my situation to you. I'm sorry you have to experience all this for my sake, forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

Julian lowered his face while tightly grasping Krystal's hand, tears welling up in his eyes instantly falling down.

“Julian, are you grateful to be alive?” Krystal asked with a faint smile and stared fixedly at Julian.

“I am grateful to be alive, even very grateful,” Julian replied.

“Okay, that's enough for me, I don't need your forgiveness but your gratitude that has been given a longer life. Don't feel guilty, because I'm doing all this purely out of my own will. I do not regret having come this far to save you,” Krystal said as she wiped Julian's tears.

“Thank you, thank you for letting me into your life. Thank you, Your Majesty..”.

At the same time, they were shocked for a moment to hear the cheers and shouts of commotion from outside the palace. Shion immediately examined it, apparently the whole people had gathered in front of the palace, they insisted on meeting with Krystal who had saved their lives from the destruction caused by the nobles as well as incompetent leaders.

“Your Majesty, those people want to meet you,” Shion said.

“Ya already, we just meet them.”

Krystal got out of bed, Julian and Shion led the way of Krystal who still could not tighten her footsteps. They headed to the front of the palace courtyard and stood before the entire people.

“Are you the Princess of Krystal?” ask one of the people.

“Yes, it's me, what do you guys want to see me?”

Then all the people who were there prostrated while crying happily in front of Krystal, the situation made Krystal lose her words.

“What are you doing? Quickly stand!”

“Yes, I understand, but you don't have to prostrate under my feet. Get up quickly, hold your heads up, this freedom belongs to you now. I just want to see you rebuild Midland and enjoy the freedom you have now,”.

“YOUR MAJESTY, ARE YOU AWAKE?!” From a distance look Austin, Lucio, Ash, Heros, and Vincenzo. They brought some of the remaining witches, then behind them were the ones that the witches had been hiding all along. The people who once brought prosperity to Midland, have now come out of their hiding places.

“I just woke up,” reply Krystal.

Then the people who disappeared came to their families one by one, the scene had happened at that time. How much gratitude and happiness they get simultaneously. Ash and Vicenzo push the witches rough before Krystal, kneeling in a rope-tied body.

“I think you guys killed him right on the spot,” Krystal said.

“Actually we want to kill him instantly, but it would be nice if you also witnessed the faces of these self-destructive people,”, Vincenzo said.

Krystal sighed with a murderous gaze towards the witches, “OK, LISTEN TO ME FOR A MOMENT,” exclaimed Krystal to the whole people, “THEY ARE THE MASTERMINDS OF YOUR SUFFERING ALL THIS TIME, OPEN YOUR EYES WIDE BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO WATCH HOW THESE PEOPLE END.”

Krystal hinted that Austin was taking the place to execute them, and that all the people witnessed this with a red heart and saw the faces of the witches who had resigned their lives. Austin swung his sword, and in one slash, he could kill the witches quickly.

“We are free.. WE ARE FREE! NOW WE ARE FREE!”

The happy cheers of the people made Krystal also relieved and happy, they managed to free the people from the shackles of suffering caused by their own leaders.

“From now on, the Midland Empire will be under my command as well as Julian, I will help you to rebuild this empire. Until the matter is over, I authorize Julian as the third Prince to decide who is the proper leader for this country. I hope you can be patient for a while and let's build this country together,” exclaimed Krystal approved by all the people.

After that, just as Krystal was about to turn around, suddenly Cherry and Bleas appeared in front of them in a state of severe injury. How panicked Krystal was when she saw the condition of those who were on the verge of death.

“CHERRY! BLEACH! What happened to you guys?” Krystal immediately put the two of them in her palm, both of her beloved spirits were struggling to maintain each other's lives. Krystal immediately ran into the palace and brought the two into the room to get treatment directly from Krystal.

Krystal put them slowly onto the bed, then began the recovery of the two spirits. Fortunately, they still had time to pin, if it was a few seconds late, they would have been dead.

“Your Highness..,” softly both found Krystal before their eyes.

“Rest, later we talk again about this problem,” said Krystal.

“But, we have to say this to you that there are traitors roaming around you. We tid—”

“I know it,” cut Krystal.

“What do you mean?”

“I know that Cleon and Olin are traitors because from the beginning they worked under the white-robed group. So, the two of them that made you guys like this?”
