Chapter 3 - Chapter 3. The Reveal of the Truth and the Emergence of a Mystery

When Minister Lust revealed that he had hired a servant to give poison to the late King. Agha was shocked when he heard the confession of the Lust minister, he never thought the death of the late King would have another reason. This incident was beyond Agha's estimation, initially he knew that the late king died on the battlefield and he did not expect to find something like this because before he only got a side mission from the system.

-..-

System:

"Side mission: find the royal traitor.

Reward: Ajian Tapak Badra. "

When Agha was about to perform the coronation, the voice of the system was heard in his head. Agha was quite happy after getting his first side mission, then he began to sort through the memories stored in his memory and slowly Agha combined his memories with the debates of the ministers outside.

"I will do that, hopefully what I did this time is true," thought Agha

"Uncle, this will be history for us and this kingdom."

"Yes, young master."

Agha looked at the mirror in front of him ...

-..-

When Danadyaksa heard Lust's words, an angry feeling arose and raged in Danadyaksa's heart. He did not think if the death of the late king had another story that he did not know about. When Danadyaksa was angry, the environment and the surrounding air changed in the blink of an eye, the pressure from Danadyaksa affected his surroundings.

Agha felt the invisible pressure from Danadyaksa, especially the aura that made her chest tight. Agha's eyes were on Danadyaksa who looked very angry and his gaze exuded a strong killing intent.

Danadyaksa slowly took steps towards Lust who was next to the King, each step he took, the feeling of thirst for blood and pressure grew stronger. Currently Danadyaksa exudes the aura of a war veteran general who has claimed thousands of lives, the pressure that comes out of his body cannot be accommodated by ordinary people.

"I'll be quiet for now." thought Agha.

Agha turned his attention to Barn and Lock. When he glanced at them, Agha found something shocking. Agha did not expect that when he watched Barn and Lock, they were not frightened and restless anymore but they were silent and their mouths were wide open. They were astonished at Lust's words.

After seeing the two of them Agha began to doubt his assessment of the two Ministers. At first Agha suspected the two Ministers but his suspicions were not proven, shortly after watching the two Agha ministers turn their attention to Danadyaksa who was getting closer, Agha narrowed his eyes and asked Lust.

"Minister Lust tell me what really happened or you will suffer," said Agha while staring intently at Lust.

"Nothing is important. You just need to know that I betrayed my kingdom."

Hearing the answer made Agha a little pensive. He stared at Lust's minister for a long time until he gave an order that surprised Lust and did not think that Agha would do such a thing even an angry Danadyaksa, gasping for orders that Agha gave to the executioner.

"The executioner ... chop off the heads of the children from the Lust Family. Let him mourn for them. Behead them one by one."

Lust Seeing the King who showed cold eyes towards him.

When Lust saw the coldness of Agha's gaze, he was about to say something but at once he heard a voice that made him unable to speak and he was silent, with a look of disbelief he saw the sight before his eyes.

After hearing the King's orders. The executioner immediately took one of the children detained, when the executioner was about to take the child he was prevented by a woman. The woman has a graceful appearance and a perfect face like a ray from the moonlight.

"Your Honor, I beg you not to kill a child," the woman said in a tone of arrogance accompanied by a cold look in her eyes.

Seeing the woman who stopped the executioner fulfill his command made Agha frown. Moreover, after hearing the words that came out of the woman's mouth, there was a hint of anger in her heart.

"Who are you?" the cold tone from Agha and that gloomy sound made the face of the woman who was blocking the executioner deteriorate.

"I am Farras, Your Honor."

"I didn't ask your name, who are you?"

"Iā€¦."

"The executioner! Do it" shouted Agha, his voice getting cold and firm looking the whole world under his feet.

The sword fell to the ground accompanied by splashes of blood and the head of a small child fell down accompanied by sobs from his family. Before the child was about to be beheaded Farras would save him but he felt three sharp stares lock in him. So he did nothing because he knew the three figures who locked him were the King, the Minister of War "Danadyaksa Gautama" and the current General of War "Madhava Gautama".

Seeing his child lying headless and the gaze of his entire family. Lust felt great pressure and regret, feelings of sadness and anger from his family formed a pressure directed towards him and made him feel remorse but he looked at the King who was now beside him.

Lust, who was overcome by remorse and hatred, he wanted to roar and hit the King but he was held by two soldiers just like the other ministers.

Agha glanced at Farras briefly, after that he turned his gaze towards Lust.

"Lust. Will you be quiet and not tell the truth?"

"..." silence without a sound, just a look of anger in the eyes of the lust directed at the King.

"Still silent. I admit that you do have an iron will and a heart as hard as iron, even after the death of your child. You are still silent."

Agha admires the attitude of Lust, if he does not commit betrayal he might become one of the officials who will be respected when Agha leads his kingdom.

"..."

"Alright ... Alright ... Executioner, do it. Let him see his entire family killed one by one." Agha's voice grew colder and his face turned black, the firmness shown by Lust forced him to do that.

Hearing orders from the King, finally the determination possessed by Lust began to waver and disappear. Lust begged the king to save his family and he would tell the real situation. Agha fell silent and did not respond to Lust's request, seeing the silent King of despair gnawing at Lust.

"Just say Lust." Hearing the answer from King Lust began to tell the truth.

The whole incident told by Lust surprised everyone. How they were not surprised, Lust offered the head of the King and the territory of the Agrapana kingdom to the kingdom of L'orchuin. The kingdom ruled by the Orc Race, in return he led this region in the future as a subordinate territory of the L'orchuin Kingdom.

"No wonder, when His Majesty left for the battlefield he looked abnormal," said Danadyaksa with mounting anger and now he was holding his weapon about to strike towards Lust.

Seeing Danadyaksa at this time, Agha also looked at him meaningfully as implying and sending a message that this is not the time to kill Lust, just wait a little longer and you can kill him and his entire family after this.

Seeing the king's gaze, Danadyaksa suppressed his anger and lowered his sword and then he looked at the King with full meaning.

"Your Majesty, can you let me go now? I've told you everything."

"Yes, you already told me."

"Then, Your Honor .."

"Wait a minute, Lust."

Agha turns his attention to Barn and Lock as if to say it's your turn. Seeing the King's gaze towards him, Barn unconsciously trembled and acknowledged it.

"Yes ... Yo-urr ... Your Honor I did not betray. I just followed Lock's plan." While pointing at Lock. Seeing Barn pointing at himself, Lock was silent.

"Damn .. damn it, Barn. He points all the blame at me." thought Lock with anger and a look of fear in his eyes.

"What is this plan, whether my previous assumption is true," thought Agha after hearing Barn's words.

"Oh, you're just following Lock's plan, all right. Then what do you think about Lock? Still want to test my patience like him?"

Agha Pointing towards Lust. Hearing the king's words, Lock sank into despair and he said that the plan he had was given by a servant who gave poison to the Prince. Hearing the answer from Lock Agha frowned.

"Why their plans were made by the servant. Moreover, the servant took the most appropriate moment to carry out his plan and scapegoat Barn and Lock. Lust also hired servants to give poison to the late king. Are they the same person or both of these are related, if they are the same person so I can be sure there is a scheme in this kingdom, starting from the killing of the late king, then poisoning the prince, judging by these two things and connecting with the confession of Barn, Lock and Lust, the possibility that could happen and only one thing to prove my thinking. Is the servant the same person and is he still here? And also I have to tell uncle Danadyaksa maybe he can find out something else. " thought Agha.
