Survive As The Brute's Wife-Chapter 178: Will For Vengeance

"I was the Rose Knight! I am the Drovarys! I am the one who can hold this divine sword!"

Alexandra’s loud voice echoed throughout the desert and was heard by everyone there.

"You were the one who killed our ancestors in droves?" the chief asked, raising his lance. His fierce eyes got rimmed red and he drew his hand back, about to throw the lance at her. "You killed them all to further your agenda. And we were the ones who suffered."

"I did," Alexandra said, placing her hand over her heart. "I had sworn an Oath to the Great King. I was his servant," she replied. "And I regret my decisions."

She didn’t want to pass every blame on Luke. She knows that Maximus wants her to be blameless. He thinks that nothing was her fault. But she differs in her opinion. She is at fault too. Her stupidity is at fault.

"I should have stopped him. I should have realized my calling sooner. But I was blinded. And I paid my price," she said.

The Chief looked at her. By now the other chiefs joined him and they were all standing in unison. The entire battlefield was still and all eyes were on her.

She did cast a little spell to have all their attention. She didn’t want a bloody war to happen. When she saw the battlefield, she did want to join them. But she controlled her wishes. She is not the Kinght. She never wants to be the Knight once more. She wants to be who she was in the beginning—a guide to humans, with Maximus by her side.

For now, she just wanted to talk and make sure everyone leaves this place happy. She knew she cannot continue this war instigated by Inanis.

"What good is your regret, warrior?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

One of the chiefs asked. Alexandra understood the frustration in his voice.

"The Great King is back. And you probably have an idea who that is..." she said.

"And that’s why we are here, putting our lives in line to end his tyranny!" another chief shouted. "And we will make sure this sand drinks the blood of that bloodsucker!"

His proclamation aroused the interests of others and they joined in their chants against Maximus.

Alexandra closed her eyes. She didn’t want to hear others blaming Maximus. She loves him and cannot bear others talking bad about him. But are these people wrong to hate him? Isn’t he everything they say he is? Didn’t he start an unnecessary war?

"You are the savior promised to us?"

Another voice from the distance asked. Alexandra opened her eyes to see a buff soldier removing his helmet. He was wearing the colors of the Lethusian Army, but the eyes that were looking at him were not friendly. They all stepped back at him and the leader of his platoon almost hit him with the hilt of his sword to shut him up.

"I am from Deberia. I don’t want to fight with these... pigs!" he spat in the face of his platoon leader.

Alexandra clenched her fists. She knew speaking of her identity will open up all these struggles. By now all the kingdoms that are under the Lethusian Empire are maintaining some sort of agreement and peace is maintained.

But they are believing that the one holding the Hashomer will be their savior and they will be redeemed from the evil clutches of the evil warlord. She would avoid this all. She doesn’t want to be the savior. She is not a savior. She is a guide. She wants to be a guide.

But Maximus wants her to admit all these. And she needs to do this for other reasons too. The peace of the Kingdoms will get damaged and no one will want to stay under the rule of the Lethusian empire. Revolts will happen. And damages will be caused.

But this is all needed. The Lethusian Empire will have to end.

Alexandra chuckled in her heart rather sarcastically. She, in the end, is ending the Lethusian Empire just like Theodora thought she would.

But some endings will create new beginnings. The leaves must wither and fall in autumn. It is needed for the trees to prepare for the winter. And in due time, Winter will end, and spring will arrive. The leaves will spring back up.

Lethusia will prosper. Everyone will prosper.

But before that, they will have to go through hardships. They will have to pay the price for the innocent bloods spilled by them. Their ruler’s arrogance and vengeance will be asked into the people’s hands.

That’s how it has been since time immemorial. And that is why people should be careful about their leaders.

Before she could answer him, she saw the sky darkening. It was not the dark rain clouds that concealed the sun from them. It was something different. Something dark, like a mist, that induced fear among the soldiers.

The mist was so thick and strong that made them unable to see what was in front of them.

Confusion on a battlefield is never a good thing. Alexandra improved the strength of the spell of calmness. But she couldn’t fight with the strength of the darkness fighting against her.

[Inanis is here!]

"Kefir, aide me," She asked.

She tried her best to keep calm. But her spell broke, and chaos ensued. The men shouted to get the throat of the one in front of them. They didn’t bother who is standing in front of them. It was chaos. And blood spilled with no control.

"Come on out, Inanis!" She shouted.

Her heart shook seeing the men dying left and right for no reason. They followed no one since Inanis was the one in total control. And Inanis wants the blood of humans.

"Maximus!" Alexandra shouted. Her ears got stuffed by swallowing her pain. Inanis is acting through MAximus. The only way to control Inanis is by controlling Maximus.

"Come on! Show your might! Defeat me!"

She called for her husband. In a way, his insatiable need for revenge is a good thing. She can manipulate him using that.

[I am a terrible being... Manipulating him... What is the difference between Inanis and me?]

She felt sorry.
