Chapter 20: A spy

Everybody was shocked. Nobody uttered a single word after that. The Yama dipped his sword in a wooden barrel which contained some liquid. After a few moments he took it out and looked ahead. The minister understood that it was his turn to take the things further.

"Hey, you continue what you were supposed to inform." As soon as the minister said so the witch nodded her head and started explaining.

"Sylia..." The moment she uttered Sylia's name, Yama interrupted her in between.

"Princess Sylia..." His cold tone almost made everybody feel a chilling spine running down their spine.

"Yes... Princess Sylia..." The witch did not repeat her mistakes for the second time and addressed Sylia with respect. Even though she did not know from where Sylia got this title, she was in no place to question and so were the others.

"She belongs to the North Eastern continent where she was the only daughter born after the birth of nine sons. She... She was born in the divine royal family who mainly looked after the whole worlds." The witch placed her words very carefully. She was aware of she was to reveal too much Sylia in front of these other witches, they won't do anything to her in front of everybody but when they would be alone she was afraid that whether she would be left to stay alive. With the death of the old witch, everybody must be already very against her.

When the Yama heard the words coming out from the witch's mouth, he did not display any emotions as he just kept his eyes ahead.

As for the other witches their rage had calmed slightly than before. 'Haiz. At least she did not reveal the real part.' Other witches had the same thought in their minds.

Once the witch finished speaking that much, she took a glance at the cold hearted Yama and her heart skipped a little bit. Even though he tortured souls and creatures but when looked at her, she could feel being attracted. However her dream moments were soon interrupted when a soldier dressed in similar attire as the minister; wearing iron shields on chest and a iron helmet on his head came running in the small yard.

"Master... Master..." When everybody heard the sound of the soldier which was filled with anxiety, everyone turned to look behind and saw a soldier coming running all along.

"What's the matter?" The minister quickly grabbed one arm of the soldier and shook it as he asked.

"Minister... A spy..." The soldier had come running all along and his face was filled with fear. And why shouldn't he be afraid? They were supposed to guard the whole land so that no spies would try to enter, especially in the Yama's harem. But today one had the audacity to do so. And not around the land but directly inside Yama's own room and harem. It seemed that fate had decided to end his life today.

"A spy?" Yama's eyes turned cold as he muttered. The tone of his voice had dropped and not only the tone but the temperature around him as well. It seemed that the temperature was dropping down to below zero. Everybody could feel the chill and cold aura radiating from him, making them freeze on the spot. Everybody was too scared to move from their positions.

The soldier instantly lowered his head and kneeled as he spoke.

"Master... I deserved to be punished by you. It seems a girl has been acting as a spy this time. She had directly come inside your harem and was found sleeping on your bed." As soon as these words left the soldier's lips, a curse escaped from Yama's mouth while the minister just covered his mouth as he glanced at the Yama.

'Wasn't the person sleeping inside Yama's room, Princess Sylia?' He could not help but imagine what must be happening there. What if the princess was provoked and she might wipe the whole of Asuras? The minister instantly trembled in fear as he spoke in a low voice to Yama

"Master... Princess should not be provoked."

As soon as Yama heard his subordinate, he instantly glared at him, making his head bowed down in fear. The minister could only wonder inwardly about what wrong did he just spoke?

"She is not a spy." Once Yama finished speaking, he left that place and headed towards his harem. Somehow a tensed emotion bubbled inside him and he had started to feel slightly worried for that girl who was earlier sleeping soundly on his bed.
