"Madam! I'm afraid to kill the girl! Please have mercy! Give the task to someone else!"
Ising was startled, she just arrived but the woman was already sprouting a comment and declined what she is supposed to say abruptly.
Her initial reaction is anger but it just shifted away from it and turned to elated amusement. Indeed, this Shaman is great! It knows what her intention is, without her saying it.
With a grin she says, "I guess you are really good. I will definitely let you do the job"
The old woman stared in horror "I don't want to. I'll be killed! Bernardo Carpio can kill me even by a single flick, even Datu Alfonso, he can..."
"Hush!" Ising put her finger up in irritation and added, "The datu is the one who told me to get rid of the girl, he does not want us to be tainted with such a dirty slave blood".
She does not even flinch with lying and even sounded confident with her words as if all were true but she knows this white lie would bring him no harm. Also, the girl isn't a slave but a Maharlika.
The Shaman snorted in disgust but thoroughly concealed it. She knows that she's lying but she still realized that she doesn't have any other choice but to help this stupid second wife of the datu so she ate up her hatred in silence. This Maharlika is a spoiled and an annoyingly persistent pest that does everything to get what she wants.
"And Shaman, I'll give you all the wealth you need in this continent! The medicines? The potions? All will be yours!"
The Shaman chuckled and Ising was stunned but stopped herself from bursting out when she heard what the Shaman had said. ..
