The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

Chapter 307 -307 – Firing Alice

As my soldiers started burning the houses, I looked at the villagers and asked, “Is there any one of you that wants to plead for your life to me?”

They all looked up, their eyes filled with vengeful tears with unaccountable hatred roaming in. They all heard their wife’s being raped, some liking it, some really liking it.

They did not hate the soldiers that raped them nor themselves for being so weak that they couldn’t even untie themselves and save their wives.

They all united in a staring contest with me that I know I would lose.

‘Well shit me. I was just curious to see their reaction… they do say that curiosity killed the cat.’

“So no one huh?” I say and nod to Haylum.

He signaled the other soldiers who all walked towards the villagers, drew their swords and waited for the order.

“Any last words, people?”

“Katherna will have your head for this!”

Of all the people that would cursed me or shoot those words at me, I didn’t think it would be anyone but that old fool they call chief.

“So Katherna’s the bitch’s name?… No worries I will get her later as well.” I smile at him and get an idea.

“Separate him from the herd and let him have a frontal seat of the grand show.”

“What…?” The elder said in confusion and the guards took him out. They put him beside Haylum and let him see everything through his own eyes.

“Why are doing this! NO, I won’t watch you do this!” The chief said and closed his eyes.

Haylum grabbed his head and forcefully opened his eyes, letting him see everything.

“Don’t be so shy, old man. Sir gave you one of the best seat for the show, enjoy it while you still can.”

“There are only so many head we can cut here.”

Haylum then looked up, “Sir, do we kill them one at a time or all at once?”

I count the heads and look at the time before getting rid of the first idea.

“Cut them all at once. It’s getting late, I need to go sleep.”

“You heard him, boys.” Haylum said, “Onward to execution!”

“NOOO!” The elder screamed as the soldiers raised their swords and struck down.

“Slash!!”

They cut all heads at the same time. The chief saw with his shocked look the sons he saw grow up, die brutally in the hands of their children.

The children that he helped stand up, the daughters that he played with… all were now gone.

“How’d you like the show, old man?” Haylum asked.

The chief looked down, his face losing all emotions he once had. Seeing how broken down the chief was, Haylum knew kicking him won’t bring any funny reactions for him.

He looked up at Henry to see him giving a nod.

Haylum whispered in the man’s ear, “At least you all got to see a pretty good fucking show… the pussies were quite tasty, I’d say.”

The chief felt anger and frustration rise within him and as he tried to wrestle for power…

“Snap!”

With one quick snap from Haylum, the chiefs neck broke and he lost all connection to the mortal world.

As the soldiers checked for survivors, I also helped them with my eyes.

Except for the soldiers, all the bodies I saw had their inner shell colorless, indicating no survivors.

I nod in acceptance as a yawn came to me, “Yaa… damn it’s pretty late now isn’t it. What time is it, Raven?”

“…”

“Yo, Raven!”

“Ye- Yes, sir.” Raven looked at me, his attention getting back as he said absently, “Somewhere around 1 AM.”

“…You okay, Raven.”

“Yes…”

“You sure,” Sadie moves a step closer to his horse, “You’re not getting second thoughts about this mess, right?”

“Of course not, sir.”

“Good…” I turn around, intending to leave, “Because I’d hate to kill such a good fighter and promote Haylum in your place… the guy’s too much of a blockhead for that position.”

“That situation won’t ever come, sir.” Raven said, finally becoming resolute as he tightly held his horse’s reign.

I glance at him from the corner of my eyes and nod only.

“Let’s go, girl.”

“Neiggh!” Sadie neighed loudly before penetrating through the forest to our way home.

Meanwhile, Raven looked at the ground for a second longer.

‘Hesitation and Incompetence would give me the same future… regardless of how trustworthy I become.’

Then he turned around left, riding behind Henry for his safety.

…

Morning came…

I woke up late, somewhere around 10’O clock. Last night’s activity made me rest back a bit more then intended.

But let’s be honest, I probably would have got up late anyway even if I slept early. My laziness came back with me as I came back home.

I get up and shower then join in breakfast where my beautiful Anna made a feast for me that was finished before the 30-minute mark.

I finish eating the bone in the chicken and lay back in relax.

“Ahh… just like that, Anna. You have the hands of goddess.” I said to Anna, who was massaging my shoulder.

“Master-”

“How many times do I have to remind you, it’s Henry for you, love.”

“Yes,” Anna smiled in defeat, “I sometimes forget with how everyone calls you master and I get the special treatment.”

I stretch my right hand back and pat her hand, “You know why you get special treatment… you are very special to me, Anna. You aren’t just a maid or a childhood friend of mine.”

She smiles, “I know that, you remind my body of that every day.”

“Speaking about body… where’s that girl, Alice?” I look around, “I thought she would start buzzing me the moment I got up.”

Anna pressed tightly at the right spot as I felt satisfaction flowing through me, “She’s outside at the battle field, trying out her spells or learning them… or something else about black spells, I can’t really say.”

“At least she’s hardworking.”

“She has to be. With the maid work combined, she has to spend her time accurately to learn her spells.”

“Huh?” I raise a brow, “Maid work? I made her a maid as substitute work, she doesn’t need to pay much attention at it. I told her, her main objective should be learning magic, not doing house work.”

Anna nods, “I remind her that but she says that ‘Master trusted me with such a duty, it would be a shame for me if I don’t fulfill the trust he gave with 101% efficiency.’

I smile, exactly what Alice would say about that. I think about her maid work.

“How’s she working?”

“…she tries her best.” Anna smiled awkwardly, “But some people can only go so far.”

I nod, ‘An understatement.’

“And her magic, how does her progress look like?”

“Henry… you know I don’t know much about magi-”

“I’m just asking your opinion.”

“Well…” Anna thought for a second, “It does seem like she’s doing good. She has learned a lot of spells since you went away.”

Anna said, remembering a memory, “I remember her using a spell that made the blue sky cloudy and then it started raining.”

“Really?” I ask, “She really made it rain?”

Anna nodded heavily, “Yes, it was quite an exciting day.”

‘Woah!… she’s already going into mid-level spells so fast. I’m sure it wouldn’t take more than a year for her to become one of the best if given enough resources.’

“Alright… I made a decision. Tell Alice that I’m firing her from her maid position and she’s to spend that time learning spells.”

“So no more breaking stuff then.” Anna smiled, “I’ll do that.”
