The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 9 The Retaliation of Aretha.

On the way home Aretha felt very upset over the treatment he received earlier, coupled with his concubines who continued to grumble nonstop making the head feel like breaking.

Once home, Aretha sat down and massaged her dizzy head. But as the concubines still did not stop talking, Aretha hit the table very hard and said, "Well when are you talking? we're home, so make me some tea."

Hearing Aretha's orders, the three concubines looked at each other, nothing moving at all.

"What are you guys doing? bring me some tea!" bentak Aretha.

"Mrs, it's the waiter's job, why do we have to?" asked Yuda who was trembling in fear.

Brak!

Again Aretha hit the table shouting, "Then what good are you all? you're all men. But no one stood up for me when those dirty knights were rude to me, you can only whine like women. Absolutely useless, I'll throw you all into the flower house and be the comfort man there."

"How can you say that to us, madam? we are your concubines not your bodyguards, so why are you even yelling like that at us? you ... hiks …." Lucian, who could not hold back his tears, sobbed and leaned against Judah's shoulders.

"What the sister said was indeed true Madam. We are innocent and you even vent all your anger on us, which makes you insulted like that is Audrey. You should be angry with him, if he had followed you, this would never have happened" Rion said in defense of Aretha's two concubines.

A foolish Aretha finally consumed by Rion's words, he gets a devious idea to take revenge on Audrey. Aretha left her concubines and not long after, she returned to take her concubines to her room.

"Mrs, what are you doing?" lucian asked as he watched Aretha take out a silver needle.

"You didn't intend to attack Audrey, did you? if Audrey gets hurt then something bad will happen to us, especially in Aretha's room there's a sunni," worried Rion.

"You think I'm stupid? I have a good plan, so you guys come with me and don't say anything" Aretha said to her concubines.

Aretha walked slowly to the door of Audrey's room, then she put the needle she had brought into the small bamboo.

"You ready?" aretha asked Rion, Rion just nodded quickly. "On the count of three is not the door."

"One, two, three" Aretha said, quickly opening the door.

As soon as the door of the room opened violently from the outside, Audrey and Suni were shocked until the suni spontaneously stood up ready to lung at Aretha and her concubines. But unfortunately, the suni was only a second late from Aretha who had first blown bamboo in her hand containing silver needles, which were, previously the needle had Aretha smeared with drugs and when the needle stuck on the suni jaguar, he immediately felt dizzy and immediately fell unconscious again.

"You are so great madam" praised Rion seeing that the suni was already helpless.

"What-what are you guys doing? you have made great mistakes" said Audrey.

Aretha ignored Audrey's words, she walked up to Audrey and grabbed Audrey's hair and dragged her out of the room to her room.

Bugh!

Aretha threw Audrey on the floor and said, "Why are you doing this to me? you have insulted me twice and you have betrayed me too, before I have punished you for your betrayal, but this time I'm gonna punish you again for the humiliation I got for you."

"Why are you quiet? what the hell are you thinking? no one can save you again this time" Aretha said.

"Missy, if she sees a new wound on her body, then we'll be gone. Please don't hurt him for the safety of us all" Lucian asked.

"Hahahaha, he's right. I am no longer yours, so you have no right to punish me. The humiliation and betrayal you received was deserved because an …."

Plaque!

A loud slap from Aretha made Audrey's speech cut off. The confident Aretha said, "You're so proud that if I hurt you by sticking a needle in your body, who knows? no one will know even if you cry blood."

"What are you waiting for?" Aretha looked at her three concubines, "Piercing any part of her body with a needle, then we won't get into trouble."

Audrey who originally wanted to buy time with the debate even got a bad ending, she could do nothing but cry withstanding the pain that filled her entire body.

When it was evening Isabella came to pick up Audrey, Audrey was unconscious until Isabella had to carry her. Even the suni jaguar itself did not look good, it avoided Isabella's gaze if their eyes met. Isabella knew something was wrong between them, and it was obvious from Aretha's smile and Audrey's and her sun.

"What happened when I left?" isabella asked the Sunnis when they were away from Aretha's residence. The suni looked as if there were no signs of nodding or shaking.

Not knowing what to do, Isabella takes the Suni to March's residence to check her memory, March asks nothing about Audrey being carried by Isabella or the reason Isabella wants to know the memory of the Suni.

"This Sun was drugged by the woman who came to mess up this afternoon in front of the guild, after which there was no memory for the next 3 hours" March said after he examined the Suni's memory.

"What about this man's memory?" isabella looked at the unconscious Audrey.

"It would be hard to see the memory of an unconscious person" March replied.

Isabella said nothing but thanks him, then she went to the nearest inn remembering the current state that still did not allow her to return home.

"If Aretha dares to ignore my warning, then I won't forgive her if it's true. Wait until Audrey is aware then I'll know everything," Isabella's inner clenched her hands tightly.

Suni who saw Isabella's face full of anger began to feel uncomfortable, she had failed to keep Audrey even she did not know what happened to Audrey when she fainted. Even when he realized, he could not do anything because he did not know what happened. If something bad happened to Audrey then, then she intended to make Aretha regret for life.
