Chereads / Priestess Of The Land / Chapter 40 - Dark Mist

Chapter 40 - Dark Mist

Tria had no time to worry about arrogant people forcing their way on others. Since they kept on making a ruckus everywhere, she will go see who was so arrogant. She had prepared her own carriage which followed the tall man's carriage, after some time they had both stopped a treehouse surrounded by a flower garden.

The tall man brought her up the tree house and had her sit down in a shaded area to wait. She waited for a while, but she was in no rush and she could already figure out what the opponent was playing at, she wasn't nervous in the least.

The opponent in question, Reille Mar, had also figured out that her plan of making Tria wait to scare her wasn't working, she was currently sitting at the top looking at down at Tria who was leisurely drinking her tea. She had enough and furiously gone down towards Tria, she wanted this woman to give her the castle. However before Reille could speak, Tria stood up and suddenly appeared right in front of her face.

"Enjoyed the show? I thought you'd never come down," said Tria slowly.

"โ€ฆ"

"Cat got your tongue? You seemed like you were about to say a lot though, Tria's eyes were staring straight into Reille's.

Reille's tongue must have really been stolen by the cat because she was just standing there, looking at Tria. Her heart rate increased in fear, she could tell when she made someone upset and she would usually take pleasure in that. However, although she could not sense the anger in Tria, she knew she was angry, and it felt like the heavens would come down and punish her for it.

Reille's legs shook and she fell on the ground.

"Don't come near me, don't come near me, stay away," she started sobbing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry please don't kill me," Reille was sitting on the ground crying out like a five-year-old child.

"What are you talking about Miss, I merely came over to tell you of my decision about you wanting my land," Tria was already back to where she was sitting before, sipping her tea like everything that was happening had nothing to do with her.

Reille was stunned, she was confused, was what happened an illusion? She then thought about what Zaac had said before had happened to Zhem and Zaic, but she was not unconscious like them, so she then thought that maybe Tria had gone easy on her.

"Please, sit," said Tria extending her hand towards a seat across from hers, as if she's not the one who's the guest.

Reille absentmindedly listened to her and went to sit down in the pointed spot.

Reille was shaken, although Tria lightly scared her, what she didn't know was that the girl sitting across from her was a spoiled brat, who is used always have her way. Whatever wrong she did, she was never reprimanded for it, and just now was the first time she had felt true anger directed at her and feared for her life.

"Is there a reason why you are persistently sending people to buy my land?"

"Yes, it's in a good spot and when I get it, I'm going to paint it in pink so the first thing someone sees when coming into town is my pink castle."

Reille truthfully answer, she was finally displaying the attitude a 10-year old should have but her answer made Tria's face twitch. Did she really think that I'll sell her my temple? And what? Pink?

"Listen, young lady, I will not sell you my land, so stop your people from disturbing me. If you refuse to listen, then you can't blame me for being impolite. I have warned you."

"No! I want a pink castle!" Reille in a tantrum kicked the ground.

Tria just stood up to leave but the tall man from before, Zebri had blocked her pathway. She turned to look at Reille, and the innocent face she had long been gone.

"Did you really think that I would let you walk away? That caste will be mine, whether you like it or not, Zebri, drag her back in front of me,"Reille had an evil look on her face, all along she was only playing a stupid kid, but Tria didn't fall for it, it was time to use force to make her submit. However, Reille was dead wrong again.

Tria stood in front of Zebri's towering body getting close to her, disgusted at the man's grin, with a wave of her hand she threw Zebri's body at Reille. Reille, not expecting that outcome, had to chance to move and the full brunt force of Zebri's body fell on her as she immediately fainted.

"It seemed that I had not made myself clear, so I will say it clearly. Come after me again, and I will make you regret it."

Tria gracefully went down the treehouse and no one had stopped her this time. Who would? She didn't even touch Zebri and his body went flying over 10 meters away. Zaac, among the others, was second after Zebri, cowered to the back of the crowd in fear.

Tria had left Reille's place, and since she was already out, she decided to pay prime minister Jafnaor a visit.

"Miss Thea! Welcome, I was not expecting you please excuse me for not coming out sooner," welcomed Jafnaor, followed by his son Adi.

"Nonsense, I am the one who came uninvited," Tria smiled at their arrival, although she had saved his son's life, she knew he was genuinely a good person at heart, therefore Tria was very respectful to him.

"Miss Thea, welcome," said Adi, smiling at Tria, the last time he saw her, he was already attracted to her but today he felt different, but he decided not to think about it.

"Hello, Adi, are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to you, yes I am feeling much better."

"That's great news," she then turned towards Jafnaor and her expression turned serious, "I have come today to ask for a favor."

"Please, anything, but would you like to go somewhere quieter?" Jafnaor sensed it might be something of great importance, therefore he asked.

"Yes."

"Let's go to my study, would it be alright for Adi to follow along?"

Tria glanced at Adi who was smiling, then she nodded her head.

The three of them sat in Jafnaor's study.

"Prime minister, as I have told you before, the temple that's being built is for the awakened priestess. I have made contact with her and she will be here in two days' time."
