The Goddess of Revenge
Cornering Traitors

Upon arrival at the palace, Krystal's arrival was greeted by concubines, there were also Cleon and Olin. Krystal's heart was already as hot as the embers, then now she had to see the faces of the traitors wandering around them. Then Krystal delivered Shuria and Adrian to their room, Adrian looked so happy to get a super spacious and luxurious room.

“If there is anything, please tell me immediately,” message Krystal is subscribed by Shuria.

Krystal left them in her room, and the sky showed an unusual darkness. The shining moonlight is covered by cloudy clouds, a sign that it will soon rain. Towards the entrance to the room, Krystal paused for a moment on the terrace while looking up at the sky. Krystal feels that her life will be heavier after this revenge is resolved.

“What are you doing here, Your Majesty?” Ash comes to Krystal who is alone.

Krystal turned her head towards Ash while developing a smile, “I was just calming my mind for a bit,” replied Krystal.

Ash also stood beside Krystal, “I never felt the affection of my parents,” said Ash suddenly ventured.

“Do you want to tell me yourself?” ask Krystal.

“Yes, I have not talked about myself to anyone else for a long time, because I have been filled with hatred and trust in people. I was born as one of the noble children of the Drazik Empire, but due to the magic explosion in me I ended up accidentally killing my own family. Although previously I was also not treated fairly, because I was an out-of-wedlock child.”

“Once the family disappeared, I was detained by the Emperor and sentenced to death, but I managed to escape from that sentence. I ended up living a very difficult life until I managed to form a group of hit men called Black Scorpion. However, I was still dependent on the medicines to suppress the magic explosion in my body, until I finally met you who made my body improve when it was next to you like now.”

Ash gazed in Krystal, luck and gratitude repeatedly, Krystal was the person he wanted to protect the most whenever. Ash is prepared to sacrifice his life for Krystal, no matter who the enemy may be, Ash takes his life as Krystal's protective shield.

“It turns out you all have dark stories, just like me who also have no gap to be happy. But, now that you're at least happy with me, that's more than enough for me. That's why, Ash, how lonely and sick your life is, there will surely come someone who makes you better. Maybe the reason I met you guys is also like that, I became a cure for the wounds in your hearts, a reason for you to smile, and become a reinforcement in your fragility.”

Ash clasped Krystal's fingers, their gazes met, for some reason Ash felt fatigue in every word Krystal said. Exhausted over the world he was living in at the moment, exhausted by the problems he was facing continuously. Krystal carried that burden everywhere, even though she seemed happy, but it was not really like that. Krystal is only good at theatrics and lying to herself.

“You are also happy, Your Majesty, happy sincerely not pretending,” Ash said.

“I'm happy, happy to meet you guys.” Krystal kissed Ash's lips briefly, Krystal did not want anyone to worry about her, no matter how heavy the burden was borne, Krystal would not burden him to others.

After that, they felt a familiar presence near the palace, then they decided to follow the direction the presence was coming from. Ash is reluctant to take his grip off Krystal, fearing that Krystal will be hurt or assaulted while he is off guard. They arrived at the back of the palace, where they saw Cleon and Olin talking to someone in white robes.

“How? Did you guys get any new info?” ask the man in the robes.

“Then, you should just finish your mission of being a spy, it would be very dangerous if the woman found out later. Even though his strength is weak, but never underestimate him, the two of you are still unable to match him. Quickly you guys pack up, then get out of this place immediately,” said the man.

“Can't it be delayed? You know for yourself Your Majesty how, I can't go home without bringing results. The two spirits have also not been found its existence, maybe later they will even leak our secrets to the woman,” said Olin.

“Can't, you guys should come back soon, because we're busy strengthening the magic circle to kill that woman. If you are left to roam unattended, afraid you will even be caught by the woman later,” reject the cloaked man.

Krystal, who was hiding behind a bush with Ash, could no longer hold back her wrath against them. In the end, Krystal decided to appear before them and intended to launch an attack towards the three of them.

“Do you guys think you can escape me?”

Krystal's voice made the three aghast in shock, they were at a loss for words when they saw Krystal catch them.

“I have long refrained from beating you guys, but it seems you are getting allowed to be more brash huh,” said Ash.

“Oh so it's true that you already know, our guess is not wrong indeed, since the beginning we never were on your side,” Cleon replied, her cute face that usually runs calling Krystal with the designation ‘Kakak’ disappears instantly. Olin and Cleon's expressions looked more different, usually pretending to be nice, but now his real face was revealed to Krystal.

“TRAITOR BASICS!” Krystal went berserk and swung her fan at the three of them, a sharp wind managed to scratch the surface of their skin, “And I have been kind to you, but what reply has given me? You guys are so laughable!”

When Krystal was about to crash, suddenly Ash held Krystal, “Let me, Your Honor, I don't want you to waste your energy facing them,” Ash said.

Krystal edged back, and let Ash face them for now. Ash put up a barrier from the magic thread, Ash's thread is so strong it can't even be slashed using a sword.

“You won't be able to run anywhere.”

From the tip of Ash's fingers came a white thread, the thread was speeding, strangely they could not move the body to move away.

“What happened? Why can't my body be moved?” ask the man in white.

“Of course you guys can't move, I held back your body shadow using my power.”
