The Release That Witch
Chapters 85's

It took a while before the old man showed a reaction, he slowly lifted his blanket, moved it to the bedside and looked towards the Archbishop.

Then he opened his mouth and asked: "If you were locked up in this cursed place, do you think you would be able to eat?" His voice was not easy to understand, it seemed like his throat was clogged by something, "Half a year, I've been stuck here for six months, with no news ... Tell me how are my sons and daughters ? "

When looking closer to the cell, Mayne noticed that it seemed like one of the walls was given a nail. Did the old man use this method to calculate the date?

He moved to the chair facing the King and then asked in return: "Why ask about things that will only make you unhappy?”

"..." - ".The King remained silent for a long time, but finally said, "It doesn't matter to me, after all, you're going to kill me, right?"

Mayne answered with one word, "Yes."

"Then as a dying person, what pleasure means to me, before I die, I just want to know their situation!" The longer Wimbledon spoke, the more his voice resembled a growl.

In the end, what else should I expect? Mayne thought, however, as a king, he had learned to have a strong spirit and attitude. When the King had been kidnapped and replaced by a righteous man, on the road to Hermes, he repeatedly tried to break free. Later when he was imprisoned, he was not corrupted by insanity, instead, he always tried to negotiate his freedom. Even during all the abuse, he never let out a shout, which was very rare in this prison. If it wasn't impossible to change her plans, Mayne really didn't want to waste such a person whose only bad point was being on the wrong side of their conspiracy.

Maybe because I have personally come, I have to tell him about the status quo, the Archbishop thought, otherwise, I can voice an order, he said, and the next moment one of the Judges can come and end his life.

So finally Mayne slowly said, "Your eldest son, Gerald is dead. He was beheaded by your second son, Timothy, on charges of treason. Your third daughter Garcia has declared the independence of the southern border region, bestowing herself as the Queen of Clearwater, so a war between her and Timothy is inevitable. As for your fourth son and fifth daughter, we don't get much information about them. Well ... they're alive.

"What are you talking about, rebellion? Independence? What are you doing?" ask the King in anger.

"We let them fight who will be the next king" Mayne explained happily, "we spread your children throughout the kingdom, and declare whoever governs their territory well will be the next king."

Hearing this, Wimbledon closed her eyes in pain, trying to close the world. After a long time, he finally whispered, “Why are you doing all this? You used the prayer that day, took me into the compartment to pray in isolation, there you stripped me of my clothes. Stone of Retaliation. Then you used the ability of a witch to replace me with someone else. So with this replacement, you can obviously slowly take over the country, let the Church rule every city. So, why do you need to give out the order for Battle of the Throne ?! Me, I can't ... Keke ”, as he was getting angry, he started coughing badly, shaking all over his body.

“We cannot issue orders that will lead to slaughtering your children one by one!” Mayne continues the verbal attack to finish off the former King. “Maybe you won't work against us, but your children mostly won't act the way you want them to. They will grow, develop, and have their own thoughts. As you can see from your third daughter, Garcia. He had already started his project to take over the Port of Clearwater five years ago, so even without the Battle of the Throne, at the point where you would naturally die, he said, do you think he'll just stand by the side and see how Gerald will ride? the throne? But the most important reason for us to act, is that we do not have time to wait for natural causes to get rid of you, you should have already noted that the power of the witch is not permanent. "

"Right, but it would be more accurate to talk about the power of the kingdom." Mayne could not help but praise the king in her heart for her sharp judgment. Even after living for six months in a completely dark basement, by not losing his consciousness he could already be considered strong-willed, but he even managed to keep his intelligence. The only person who can do this can be counted on one side ,

"Monarchy will always be a hindrance to the development of the Church, no matter how weak it is, it will always rise again like weeds. So only by eradicating it completely will the Church be able to 'sincerely' control the Kingdom. . "

“...” Wimbledon suddenly looks much older, before only its outer appearance alone looks old, but now it looks like his spirit has left him and his eyes dim.

"The Kingdom of Graycastle is the kingdom with the widest territory on the mainland, it also has the largest number of soldiers, so in the case of a full frontal war, my church will only be harmed. We've been planning all this for a long time now. During the civil war, your kingdom will lose many soldiers and mercenaries, after waiting for only two or three years, our God's Punishment Army will be able to easily take over the entire territory of your Kingdom. But you don't have to be sad, your kingdom isn't the only one we conquered. The other three kingdoms faced the same situation. Soon the land will no longer have four kingdoms. Instead of "The Kingdom of Wolfsheart "," the Eternal Winter Kingdom "," the Kingdom of Dawn "and" the Kingdom of Graycastle ", there will only be one regime, "The Church", which rules all countries. "

Wimbledon became completely silent, the man who had won the throne from his brother with the power of weapons was now like the man who had lost his life, even for Mayne it was hard to be stripped, but in his mind, it was hard to be stripped, he did not have the slightest thought of regret. The church has also invested a lot of money into this plan - a tremendous number of believers have been willing to use it as pawns, despite the danger to themselves.

For example, the man who played Wimbledon III was a loyal member of the Jury. He was a strong believer and was completely loyal to the Church, and would initially receive a transformation ceremony, becoming a member of God's Punishment Army. However, in order to complete the mission, her appearance was changed by the witch into you. So when he died in the castle he did not receive any honor. Before the mission, he could have carved his name on the monument of the Church at Hermes, but now the Church can only bury his name forever.

When Mayne came to the conclusion that Wimbledon would not speak any further, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket and gave it to her to drink.

When Wimbledon had calmed down and drank the potion, she said the first last words, "Curse ..."

"Yes?" mayne asked, waiting for the King to continue.

"I curse you. I will wait for you in the deepest hell." Wimbledon's voice grew dim with each word, and in the end Mayne even had to concentrate if she wanted to understand what was being said.

"It is unfortunate that there is no hell in this world. Even if there was, it wasn't a place where I was. Everything we do is for the survival of humanity. Only by uniting the four Kingdoms can we gain enough power to face the real enemy, or ... "The Archbishop stopped his speech when he saw that Wimbledon's hand had lost all its strength and fell to the ground, his head spinning to one side, and his chest hand stopped to move.

This is the end of a king, but this is our beginning, he thought.

Mayne took the bottle and put it back in her pocket. Then he opened the door and stepped into the quiet corridor, which gave off a feeling like there was never a cry. He simply explained to the members of the Jury how to deal with the aftermath, and then he left the castle without looking back even once.
