22 Real identity (1)

In the middle of the bed, Sylia was lying down in a lifeless condition with her eyes closed. Her whole body had bruises, combining with the earlier ones she looked as if somebody had tortured her soul. The witch from the Bennett's who had agreed earlier to disclose every little secret about Sylia was sitting beside the bed and doing some spells and making a few potions.

She had made Sylia drink a few gulps of potions and the potion seemed to display some of the effects of it on her body. Although the fresh bruises which she had just received from the rings of fire were not healing as the witch had expected to but the earlier ones from the previous day.

Apart from the witch and Sylia there were two female guards staying beside to look after Sylia. Since after this incident the Yama no longer kept her to stay alone even if she was staying inside his personal harem. Even he had placed another block on the entrance of his harem so that even if anything happens wrong, nobody would be able to escape from here.

In the main court, the witch who earlier tried the fire spell on Sylia, her subordinate was kneeling down along with the other witch and soldiers who were present there. The witch who just died a few moments before would not have ever expected in this lifetime that there would be a day when her life would have been on a brink even after being the head witch.

Tears were seeping out from the corner of her eyes as she could not help but tremble down in fear. She did not do anything wrong. She was just following the head witch's orders, then why was she being punished? A sigh escaped her lips as she realised that these questions… nobody would be able to answer her and at the she had to accept her fate!

The whole room was silent. Not even a single sound could be heard, except for the 'clicking' sound which the sword of the Yama was creating on being tapped on the ground. He looked at the bunch of four or five in front of him kneeling and was furiously throwing daggers straight into their chest with his glares.

"Who gave you the permission to get inside my room?" When quite a few minutes had passed, Yama finally broke the silence and asked. However his voice was not at all cold or stern, in fact it was as calm as ever. Which was of course something unusual! His tone had taken everybody with a whole of shock and surprises.

His words followed a pin drop silence as the witch sitting in the middle was too shocked to even compose herself so that she could answer.

All of a sudden a soldier who was guarding the main entrance spoke.

"Master… this… the head of the witch informed us that there was a spy inside your harem…"

Following this soldier's words, the other one also said.

"Yes, yes master. She was the one who said to us. And… and we were just following our security duties."

The minister who was standing just beside the Yama understood the words from the soldiers, however he did not let it pass as he said.

"How far I remember, all these things are first supposed to be informed to me."

When the minister said so, the soldiers bowed their heads down in embarrassment. Indeed this was true! No matter how much serious the situation gets, the soldiers are just supposed to keep an eye on the culprit and not even dare to harm them!

However, this time, the situation was worse. The person who was harmed this time was not only injured but was lying unconscious. It had been a long time since this happened. Even the sky had started to turn dark as the sun was setting. But still, there were no positive signs of Sylia waking up.

The other two witches eyes each other and said after the minister finished speaking.

"Master… We were just following the head's orders… We did not do anything…" When one of them finished speaking, the other added on after her.

"Yes master, we were just following our head's orders. We were not involved in anything. Please forgive us master…"

Both the subordinate witches kneeled in front, asking for forgiveness. However, it only made the Asuras head- Yama to let out a maniac laughter which sent a chilling sensation in everybody's spine and fear bubbled inside their chest.
