Book 2-1.6 Next Steps

When Grace and Pere met up again, it was exactly half a day after he had met Venersis, in other words, the moment the three moons came up again.

Behind Grace were the fifty or so Red Storm warriors who had dirt all over their bodies, as if they had run nonstop, and an old man who he was very familiar with, was with them as well.

It was the chief shaman of the tribe, Tuma Takaka.

Pere welcomed them happily. He felt like things would work out now.

“How did it go, sister-in-law?”

As Pere urgently asked, Grace bit her lips and shook her head.

“Librie had already taken command of the warriors. When I arrived in the tribe, the different chiefs were all surrounding Librie.”

Pere closed his eyes tightly at Grace’s response. He thought positively, and thought that Librie’s plot was revealed when he saw Grace and the warriors. However, he was discouraged by her words.

“And?”

As Pere spoke with his eyes still closed, Grace shivered as if she didn’t even want to think about it, and spoke.

“As soon as Librie saw me, she shouted at the crowd to capture me. She said I was the traitor’s wife.”

“What?”

“Librie told them that my husband and Pere-nim killed father with poison...as well as Pere-nim’s mother Sena-nim as well……”

Pere’s eyes opened wide. His body faltered as if the heavens were crashing. It was his own will to fall to the ground.

Pere asked as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Father…...and mother……?”

Grace avoided Pere’s gaze and lightly nodded her head. Pere, who was having a hard time even talking, let out a cry.

“Ah! Ahhhh! That bitch …...I curse my lips that called her mother at one point. I will kill that bitch by ripping her to pieces.”

Pere pounded his feet and flailed his arms as if he could not hold in his anger. Grace just quietly waited until he calmed down before seeing Yulian and running towards him. She started to caress his face gently.

“Yulian … what should we do about this? Ah, ah, what should we do?”

Grace was a wise and calm woman, but the things that happened in the last two days, the shock from it, was hard to handle.

She lamented the fact that she didn’t run to the tribe in the beginning. To lose the lead to that evil woman and become a rebel like this felt frustrating and unfair.

She even wanted to curse the heavens for causing something like this to happen when her husband was heading towards his dream one step at a time.

At that moment, Pere finally stopped his flailing and after looking at Grace and Yulian, he approached Tuma Takaka and spoke.

“Tuma Takaka-nim, seeing you like this truly makes me happy to see you.”

Tuma Takaka was the chief shaman in Pareia, and his powerful strength was the best in the desert. The reason Pareia was able to get eleven oasis and defend against the approaches of the other tribe and even the Shuarei’s Venersis, was because of the strength of this old shaman and his assistance to the three generations of the Provoke family.

“What… just what happened? Do you know how surprised I was after hearing Librie’s words? Afterwords, I saw Grace-nim hurrying over and sharing her side of the story and I needed to confirm things with my own eyes.”

Tuma Takaka wanted to hear the truth from a Provoke. He had been connected with the family since the days of Baguna’s father, and when Baguna as well as his three sons were born, they all received his protection from opponent’s spells. For something like that to happen to these people……

“That bitch, that ruthless bitch attempted to poison father and us brothers. I happened to be doing a fasting prayer to Neo Latin-nim so they failed…...but father and hyung-nim…...Tuma Takaka -nim, how could I pay them back for this?”

Pere spilled his guts as if he was talking to an elder in his own family. Baguna regularly relied on Tuma Takaka as the Glow, but Yulian and his brothers saw him as a highly regarded elder in the family.

Tuma Takaka felt another shock go through his body.

“Ah…...how could something like this …...how could something like this happen to Pareia?”

“Please take a look at hyung-nim’s poison first. I used the Shuarei’s shanana, but he has been poisoned for a while.”

Hearing Pere’s words, Tuma Takaka wondered for a bit as to where he got the Shuarei’s shanana from, but he hurried over to Yulian since that wasn’t very important right now.

Grace was feeding Yulian Pareia’s shanana but handed him to Tuma Takaka as he approached.

“The effects of the poison……”

The blue flower that was blooming on Yulian’s face was starting to get darker. It meant that the effect of the poison was getting worse. Tumama Takaka thought about the poisons that caused this type of symptom, but even he, who had handled poison for a long time could not figure out which poison it was.

“No matter how I look at it, it is definitely not a poison of the desert. If it was, I would know what it is.”

Everyone grew more anxious hearing Tuma Takaka talk. They had full confidence that Yulian would live because they had him with them, but hearing that it was a poison even he didn’t know about, everyone’s faces quickly changed.

“It is definitely that bastard!”

As Grace shouted, all of them looked towards her.

“If it isn’t a poison of the desert, is there anyone other than that fat pig from the Silence Empire? Librie isn’t bold enough to do something like this on her own. I’m sure that Silence bastard was in the shadows.”

Everyone became angry after hearing Grace’s words. Especially the Red Storm warriors, they felt a burning desire to turn the pirma around and go murder all of them.

Unlike the chiefs and other warriors who couldn’t make up their minds after hearing Librie talk, the Red Storm warriors were extremely loyal to Yulian that they knew something like that would never happen and went against Librie’s orders to follow after Grace. They also knew and understood Yulian’s passion more than anyone else.

“Everybody, calm down. I will do what I can. Right now, it is best to get far away from here. The chiefs and the lead warriors of the large oasis might be hesitating and taking their time, but the command of the ruler is law. I’m sure they will soon follow after us.”

As someone with a lot of experience, Tuma Takaka was good at figuring out what the priority was. He asked Pere and Grace.

“Where do you think we should go?”

Pere looked to Grace. There was only one place they could go right now.

“The Rivolde Oasis is not far from here. I’m sure my father will help us. Librie wouldn’t dare to track us down to Rivolde, so let’s all go there and discuss.”

There was no way anyone else would have any other opinions.

The group started to head towards the Rivolde oasis.
