Chapter 102: Doubt
"We don't have a relationship anymore! Smal! Ever since I led the people here out of our city and from you and the king! The sonorous voice of the matriarch calling each other's names echoed through the square, and Fodamรจs could clearly feel a faint anger rising in her heart, as if something had happened on both sides of that distant era.
"Don't say that. I had no choice but to expel you back then. The king needs the stability of the country, and I also need to ensure the status of our family. In the face of the matriarch's statement, her husband Teng Teng's tone was still so unhurried, as if he was very patient to express his opinion.
The other party's words not only did not appease the matriarch, but made her more emotional and scolded loudly: "As a result! Whether it's our country or our family...... Isn't there nothing left in the end? Even our children ......."
"Alright, alright. I know you're right. Don't be angry......" As soon as the words fell, a black shadow fell behind the matriarch, because it was in the direction of his back, Fudames could only see the back of a tall and thin man wearing a wide cloak, he didn't wait for the matriarch to react, he hugged the matriarch's waist from behind, and whispered in the matriarch's ear: "Look, I knew that you came to apologize to you as soon as I was here." Do you know how hard I had to find you? In order not to make you angry, he also changed the appearance of this human being like you. But then again, your human form is really beautiful, and it has its own merits with your real body. With these teasing words, his hands began to roam in front of the matriarch, as if groping for something.
"Let go of me!" The matriarch seemed to be very resistant to this behavior, screaming and struggling to get out of it, but was held tightly and unable to leave her husband's body. The matriarch's husband's frivolous words and blasphemous behavior, coupled with the matriarch's reaction, also caused a stirring among the surrounding clansmen, but those people were all squeezed out by the black-clothed people brought from the opposite side, and the two sides pushed each other, and the conflict was about to break out.
"Woo......" Suddenly, the matriarch's body went limp, and the staff in her hand fell to the ground. The whole person was like a deflated balloon, and the whole person leaned into her husband's arms, and there was no room for resistance, and at the same time, unbridled laughter came out of her husband's mouth: "Hahaha...... I knew it. My dear Raphael, you have changed a little but you still retain my essence, your only weakness that belongs only to me. This is proof that you still belong to me as my wife. Although he couldn't see the specific situation, he was roughly certain from the purple glimmering arm of Ken Mad, and at the moment he placed his hand on the part in front of the matriarch's body, and at the same time injected his own strength inward.
The matriarch who was paralyzed in the other party's arms blushed slightly, how many years have passed, she doesn't know why she wants to keep the essence of this partner she hates so much, she has been convincing herself that this is a memorial to their dead child, but is it really the case? I still have thoughts about him who has been a husband and wife for tens of thousands of years. I can't judge it myself. In any case, now the other party has confirmed his ownership of himself in a crude way. She finally slammed the opponent's thigh weakly with her fist, gave up all resistance, and reluctantly closed her eyes and let the other party do whatever she wanted to do to herself.
The matriarch's reaction made her husband proud, after all, this is the law of Ken De Tie, and the absolute subservience of a wife to her husband. It was so with her that it was now. At this point, he took the matriarch's hand and raised it high in a wanton and ostentatiously proclaimed: "You see, your matriarch Raphael is still my wife. It's not too much for us to do as a husband and wife, right? Don't worry about it, everybody. The scene in front of them made the restless villagers quiet down again, and they looked at each other with embarrassment.
Seeing that the incident had subsided, the matriarch's husband let go of his hand and let go of the matriarch. The matriarch bent down and picked up the staff, and asked again with a face full of unwillingness and shyness: "What are you doing here?" Although it was still the same question, there was no longer any toughness or dissatisfaction in the tone.
"Take you home, of course." The matriarch's husband put away his sneering face and showed a kind of tender concern, and he brushed the matriarch's hair and said what he meant: "You know, more than ten years ago, my king and I were reborn. If you endure for a while, the king will surely be able to reign again and establish a new glory. That is why the king asked me to find you and bring you back to his command. The king and I know that you resent us and have avoided us for more than ten years. This is a felony of rebellion to be destroyed. But the king understands you, and knows that after all, he ordered you to expel you back then, so he doesn't blame you, and now as long as you are willing to go back with me to serve him, he will not blame you and all the people here. โ
"Okay...... But please give me a moment. Half-year term. "The matriarch knows that since she has been discovered, she has no right to choose for herself. In desperation, she agreed without much thought, but she still made a request: "After all, it was too sudden, my people need this time to get used to, and if we really want to leave, we also need to deal with a little bit of our own personal affairs." In half a year, we will all go to serve under the king's command. โ
"It's not impossible. It's just ......," the matriarch's husband did not directly agree or disagree with this request, but asked with interest, "What are your personal affairs?" โ
The so-called private matter is naturally a pretext for the matriarch to deal with her husband. In her heart, at the very least, she must first complete the agreement with Fodames and gain the trust of humans, and then make plans. Returning to the service of the king? Since he was expelled and watched everything he cherished and loved was destroyed, he was already dead and only wanted to lead his people who were willing to follow him to live quietly, and those people, including her husband and the king, had long been eroded by the demon's code of destruction and the power of eternal extinguishment and became cruel and terrible, and she didn't want to be involved with them at all, let alone get involved in anything related to war and killing. Everything at the moment can only be dealt with by expediency. So to her husband's question, she just replied impatiently: "Saying that, this is our private matter, even if you are my husband, you have no right to ask!" โ
"Yes, yes...... Don't be nervous, my dear Raphael. I'm just asking. If you don't want to say it, forget it. It's just that I was very concerned about one thing when I first came. The matriarch's reaction made her husband a little panicked, so he stopped pursuing the question, he slowly took two steps forward, as if unintentionally kicking the candlestick, and then patted the stone platform, with the intention of obviously asking, "You are holding a ritual of healing Wilwall's infected substance that the king has expressly forbidden?" โ
Hearing this, all the villagers and the Fodames in the boulder couldn't help but panic in their hearts, for Ken Mad, Wilvo and their infections were beings that had to be eliminated, especially after the healing ritual was listed as a forbidden technique. If the current group of Ken Hud found out, the consequences of what the matriarch had done were unimaginable.
"Yes. We performed a healing ritual......" To everyone's surprise, the matriarch admitted without hesitation, but then she changed her tone and continued: "It's a human infected by Wilvor. We have only done the initial treatment. And then it devoured him. โ
"Devouring ......," the matriarch's husband was obviously a little unconvinced, and he couldn't believe it, frowning and staring at his wife.
"Yes, devouring ......" Under the gaze of her husband, the matriarch did not panic at all and explained slowly: "You and the king have attacked many humans over the years, but I am afraid they have not tried, if they become Wilwall's infected flesh and blood, it will be more delicious, of course, if they are completely infected, the taste is mixed with Wilvor's disgusting rough smell, and it must be dealt with with with a healing ritual." โ
It is hard to imagine that without any preparation, the matriarch told this whimsical lie, and there was no abnormality in her face, and even her husband's expression changed subtly, and he asked in disbelief: "Just for this?" You put you and your fellow citizens here at the risk of a curse? โ
"Did you lose your memory after being locked up for so long?" Regarding the questioning matriarch, the matriarch directly scolded the past and vented a little bit of the violation she had just received: "The curse is generated after the ceremony, and it is dealt with and devoured immediately after completion, what is the risk of the curse source disappearing?" โ
"This ......," faced the matriarch and asked her imposingly, her husband began to look a little embarrassed, and even took a few steps back, but he was speechless for a while. (End of Chapter 102)
