Chapter 6: Isa's Grief and Anger
As soon as Alan walked out of the bedroom door, a group of people waiting in the living room gathered around.
"How's my mom?"
Lynch asked first.
"Slept. ”
Allen's voice was a little hoarse, like an old man.
"I'll go in and have a look. ”
"She's fine, she's just overly sad, let her rest for a while. ”
Eren stopped Lynch, afraid he would wake up Isa, and then cast a soundproofing spell at the door.
"Let's all go back to our rooms and rest, I'll just be here alone. ”
Alan said.
"I'll stay with you. ”
Miranda was a little uneasy.
"Leave me alone!. ”
Alan pulled up a chair and sat down, waved to the others, motioned for everyone to leave as soon as possible to let him be quiet, and then closed his eyes tiredly and sunk himself deep into the chair. But as soon as he closed his eyes, Isha was reminded of the tears that rained down on Harvey's body, the pain of losing the person he loved the most, and he had experienced it firsthand.
It was he who brought Harvey to this road that needed to be paved with blood, and how nice it would be if it wasn't Harvey who was lying there.
Alan's heart was filled with indescribable remorse and guilt until dawn Miranda came.
"Brother Allen, go and rest for a while. ”
When Miranda saw Allen's haggard look and bloodshot eyes, she knew that he must have stayed awake all night.
"I'm alright, Stanny and Lynch?"
Alan asked, shaking his head, a little surprised that Stanny and Lynch weren't together.
Stanny had arrived at the barracks early in the morning, and he was worried that he was going to take a look, so Lynch followed. ”
The barracks Miranda refers to are the temporary camps of the Cadet Corps stationed outside the town of Iron Pine.
"Oh!" Alan nodded, "Let the servants prepare some breakfast, and I'll send them in for Isha." ”
"Good!"
Miranda said yes and turned to go out.
"Let Archmage Kanter come out, we want to see him. ”
Alan was about to go to the bedroom to see Isa, when he suddenly heard a noise outside the courtyard, he opened the door and walked out to see what was going on, only to see a group of people surrounded by black pressure outside the courtyard, there were old people on crutches, women with children in their arms, and young children, there were about two or three hundred in total, most of them were women.
"The archmage has come out, and we want the archmage to give us justice. ”
Seeing Allen appear, the crowd suddenly stirred, followed by someone taking the lead and shouting.
"What justice?"
Confused, Alan walked down the steps to the gate.
"Brother Allen, these people are all family members of soldiers who died in battle, and it seems that they are here to find trouble. ”
Miranda walked up to Alan and said in his ear.
"Nonsense! Let everyone in. ”
Alan glared at Miranda and waved his hand to let the people outside.
"I empathize with everyone's feelings..."
Seeing that the people outside were pouring into the courtyard, Alan took a few steps forward and came to them, wanting to say a few words to comfort everyone, but before he could finish a sentence, suddenly a gray-haired old woman was pushed and fell at his feet.
"It's you, it's you who killed my grandson!. ”
The old man took the opportunity to hug Allen's thigh, snorted and cried with tears.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, it's my fault. ”
Seeing the old man crying pitifully, Allen's heart was sour, and he leaned over to help her up, but several more women rushed over.
"My son is dead, how can I live!"
"I want my brother!"
......
The women grabbed Allen's arm and cried.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Miranda was worried about Allen's safety, and hurriedly asked the guards to separate the family members from Allen, but how the family members were willing to give up, the two sides immediately tore apart, and the guards couldn't be rough with the family, and the courtyard was suddenly in chaos.
When he was making a fuss, he suddenly heard a burst of people shouting and neighing outside the courtyard, it turned out that Stanny heard the news in the barracks and rushed back, but his identity was not suitable to deal with the matter, so he called the mayor and the sheriff together, and the accompanying security team dispersed the crowd blocking the door and rushed in.
"Are you going to rebel? Do you know what kind of place this is? Who is standing in front of you? If you don't get out of here, I'll take you all one by one and put you in jail. ”
The sheriff was horrified when he saw Allen being besieged, and shouted at the top of his throat.
"My son just died in the battle at Capra Pass, and I don't want to live anymore, so if you kill me, let me go with him. ”
The sheriff's threats were apparently useless, and a middle-aged woman grabbed him by the hem of his coat and stuck her head in front of him, looking like she was at his mercy.
"Whoosh!"
Out of nowhere, an egg flew right on the sheriff's head, and the egg white and yolk flowed down his face.
"What a guts. Arrest them. ”
The sheriff was in a hurry for a while, but he still couldn't get rid of the middle-aged woman's entanglement, so he could only call for help from his accompanying men, but just as his men were about to step forward to make a move, another woman came up next to them and stopped them.
"My son is a hero against the orcs, and you dare to touch a single hair of me?"
The woman was so imposing that she scared the security guards into stepping forward. Led by this woman, the other women rushed together, and the scene got out of control again.
"Yes, your son is a hero, but if he had a spirit in heaven, he would be ashamed of your mother's bastard behavior. ”
Just as the security team that maintained order was retreating, the door opened with a shout, and Isha walked out. It turned out that she was not asleep at all, and the family members had already woken her up as soon as they made a fuss, and she didn't want to pay attention to it, but she didn't expect these family members to come to Allen with malice, she got out of bed angrily, but as soon as she walked to the door, she heard the woman claim that her son was a hero against the orcs, so she sneered and pushed the door out.
"Madame..."
Seeing Isha looking at her coldly, all the family members couldn't help but take a step back, and their momentum suddenly became shorter.
Miranda was overjoyed that only Isha was the most qualified to settle this kind of scene today, so she walked to Isha in two steps, and while helping her, she released a sound amplification magic that she was best at, expanding Isa's voice to everyone around the courtyard to be able to hear it clearly.
"When you were cornered by the orcs in the Sunset Meadows, it was Eren who took you in. He was rich and powerful, but in order to feed you, you would have starved to death or been sent to work as a coolie in the dark mines. Your husband was slaughtered by the orcs on the steppe, and you didn't complain, and now you have come to the ancient city of Okugu to ask for justice from your benefactor, what qualifications do you have?
Because of anger, Isa's chest rose and fell violently, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were blazing, and the light radiating was like a sharp knife, sweeping the faces of every family member sharply.
"Your grandson died in battle, didn't he?"
Isha asked, pointing to the nose of the white-haired old woman who had been holding Ellen's thigh.
"Your son died, didn't he?"
Isha asked, pointing at the middle-aged woman.
"Your brother died too, didn't he?"
Isha pointed to a little girl again.
"My son also died. ”
After receiving affirmative answers from the three of them, Isha pointed to herself, her nose moving as hard as she could, trying to keep her tears from flowing.
"But I have no resentment, because he made a sacrifice to protect me, to defend the town of Iron Pine, to defend the ancient city of O, to defend each of our Godsa sons and daughters, and his sacrifice was worth it, and I am proud that he had such a son."
Isha shouted with all her strength, her every word seemed to be full of power fist hitting the face of the opposite family, making them ashamed and indignant, under the pressure of her condescending momentum, the family members did not even have the courage to look at each other, they could only lower their heads and retreat step by step.
"Tell these ignorant people, what is the mission of the soldiers of the Youth League?"
Isha hadn't finished venting her anger yet, she asked, pointing to Stanny's own soldiers.
"Guard your loved ones and don't let them get hurt!"
Several soldiers shouted almost without thinking, their voices still deafening, even though they didn't use amplification magic. When their voices subsided, the courtyard was deadly silent, and some of the women lowered their heads and couldn't get into the ground.
"Stanny, take off your shirt. ”
But Isha clearly didn't want to let them go, and she pulled Stanny in front of everyone and told him to take off his coat and go naked. Stany of scars crisscrossed Stanny's chest, any of which could have killed him, and he looked shocking.
"Your sons and brothers are fighting to protect you, and Stanny has no relatives to protect in the ancient city of Aogu, so who is he fighting the orcs to the death on the battlefield?"
Isha paused at this point, and her voice was low, but immediately high-pitched.
"It's also for you, but it's a shame for the Gossars to do such an ungrateful thing, and you don't deserve to stay in the ancient city of Okusan!"
Isha's words were finally finished, and there was a deathly silence in the courtyard.
"Madame, we were wrong, we were blind, and our conscience was eaten by wild dogs. ”
Finally, the white-haired old woman was the first to break the silence, and he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake.
"We will take revenge, we deserve to die!"
"Forgive our ignorance and stupidity, ma'am!"
"It's all our fault that we don't distinguish between right and wrong, madam, you punish us. ”
After the white-haired old woman, the family members fell to their knees and confessed their mistakes, and the family members, who had wanted justice because of the death of their relatives in battle, became ungrateful and heinous people under a series of questions from Isha, and the situation was completely reversed.
"It's not me you're sorry for, and I'm not in a position to forgive you. ”
Isha shook her hand and coldly threw down a sentence, then ignored them and pulled Alan to turn around and walk towards the house.
"Archmage Kanter, forgive us for our stupidity. ”
The reacting family members continued to plead for forgiveness against Alan's back, but Eren had already been pulled back into the house by Isa and the door was closed.
