Chapter 149 - Such a Sharp tongue!

Maya grabs Victor's hand, right before he raised to kill the official.

Victor gets out from his shock and asks in disbelief "Your Highness?".

'She didn't think of stopping this, did she?! She can't go against Kalki's orders! She could be exiled!'.

Maya asks pulling the sword down with his hands "May I ask you a question?".

Victor gulps and could only nod nervously "Now?! Yes, Your Highness..".

Maya smirks "Can anyone punish my servants without my permission?!".

Victor goes speechless "..."

Yet he wonders helplessly 'Could this simple rule be even valid when Crown Prince himself orders?! Is she here to humiliate herself?! Why can't she understand that she can't really save them?!'

People "..."

Xavier's tensed shoulders relaxed slightly yet gets worried 'Wouldn't she be disappointed for not able to save them? She can't really do anything against Xander anyway...but she tried...that's all matters...'

GASPS!

WHISPERS!

"This.. Was she waiting for a right time to save them?!"

"She wasn't abandoning her servants for disrespecting her?!"

"Perhaps..she here to prove her powers?! Is she here to only ask this stupid question?!"

"Or is she going to kill them herself by giving her permission now?!"

"How heartless!"

"How cruel!"

"She is Evil!"

Xavier is dying inside hearing these stupid and vicious comments.

But he could only sigh 'Indeed they just need us to rule them! Otherwise..with this stupid mind of theirs they would only die hunted by the enemies!'

Certain someone seated far from the crowd could only smirk hearing her words.

---

Victor could only speak respectfully "Her Highness should show mercy on this servant! I am merely following His Highness' order. And that mere rule can't stand against His Highness's order-".

"I beg His Excellency's forgiveness for interrupting. But there is no such rule in our country which says Our Crown Prince's order can surpass the simple rule written!".

Maya "..." Did she reach already?!

Victor "..." The Head Servant?!

Everyone looks back to see Sarah walking hurriedly towards the Podium. She appears beside Maya and stands silently.

Maya smiles averting her eyes back to Victor and asks confidently "Indeed...If you need my permission before executing them, then shouldn't everyone here too be executed? For doing this without my knowledge? Doesn't this mean I am being disrespected now?".

GASP!

Everyone understands now clearly where she is taking this and smiles.

"She is here to save them!!"

There is no doubt about her intention now and genuinely wishes that she succeeds in saving them. After all, she herself forgiven them even after they disrespected and hurt her!

People are already satisfied with her!

Victor clears his throat gruffly "No rule can stand against Our Crown Prince's personal order, Your Highness! I understand Her Highness's good heart and kindness but I beg your mercy for not able to help at this situation! We can't go against His Highness' personal order. It's an unwritten rule, which no one would dare to disobey!".

Maya gulps at Victor's strict tone. Suddenly she is lost of words as she really doesn't have a way now! She has to try some other ways to drag sometime.

The certain someone who doesn't wish to show his face raises his eyebrows, seeing her long silence.

'I wonder how long you could drag...'.

Maya wonders whether it was really a trick now as everything is so real and happening! She doesn't believe it as a mere trick anymore.

Victor speaks with a proud smile, looking around the crowd "Have you noticed Her Highness' kind heart?! Even after these, Her Highness is hear to save them! How fortunate we are to deserve her as our Queen!".

People starts agreeing him too.

"Indeed!"

Maya couldn't really take his praises to her heart at this moment.

Victor smirks proudly before looking at Sarah "We should also appreciate Her Highness' Head Servant! For helping Her Highness to save these betrayers! Shouldn't we wonder why she is helping these criminals?".

Sarah gulps in fear "..."

Maya's eyes turn dark "..." The nerve of this man! Is he after Sarah now?!

Maya lets out a cold chuckle "His Excellency is really after my servants, isn't he?!".

Victor bows with a smile "Forgive this servant, Your Highness! I am worried for Her Highness' safety like all".

Maya smirks "Don't you have many issues in the country to worry about, Your Excellency?"

Victor goes speechless at her vicious comment "..." Such a sharp tongue!

People can feel the awkwardness at her comment too. Because she was right! Instead of saving people dying from draught they are executing the criminals!

Victor smiles swallowing the awkwardness and speaks sternly "I am just following His Highness' Orders, Your Highness".

Maya twitches her lips and gulps seeing Victor's passive smile. She frowns 'Is he warning me?'.

Victor returns back to his previous place beside the official and lifts his sword to raise.

Maya asks "Don't you think we should wait at least and investigate further before taking the lives? It's about your people's lives, after all".

Victor gets irked at her word 'your people' and declares "If Her Highness really wants to save these betrayers, then this servant could only say this. No one can save them, Your Highness! Not even you!".

Xavier grits his teeth at Victor's tone yet sighs 'He is helpless too! How can he disobey Xander's orders?!'

Maya realizes the situation and looks around the crowd worriedly.

'Should I just manipulate the people against Crown Prince now?! No! Maya! What are you even thinking?! You are digging your own grave!'

Her worried eyes brightened as soon as she saw Robin arriving far from the Main street 'Is he here already?! He is indeed reliable! Did he receive the permission?! Would the Emperor really have permitted to free them? At least, he would have postponed this execution!'

Maya asks Victor in a challenging tone "How about The Emperor, Your Excellency?".

Victor frowns looking at her "His Majesty? Why would His Majesty stop this?-"

Robin arrives declaring "This servant has a personal Edict from His Majesty!".
