Release that Witch - Chapter 510

Chapter 510
. . .




When he entered the basement of the palace, Hill Fawkes felt his heart tremble, not out of fear, but rather uncontrollable excitement .
The flickering flame of the torch seemed to dance for him, while his steps echoed praises off the stone floor .
He never felt the dark, quiet basement could be so wonderful .
After arriving at the ground floor of the basement, Theo searched his body again . He then patted his shoulder and whispered, "Go, and don't stay too long . "
Hill nodded and walked excitedly into the darkness ahead . . . After a while, as he passed through a darkened walkway and approached the cage, he slowed down so he could fully savor this memorable moment .
He then saw the murderer who killed his wife,
Timothy Wimbledon .




At that moment, Hill covered his mouth, as his eyes were filled with tears . . . Everything that he had done before was not in vain, and the outcome came earlier than he expected .
"My wife would smile at this sight," he thought .
"Who . . . is it?" Timothy asked . He turned around, leaned against the rails, and he desperately asked, "Is that you, demon . . . Did you change your mind?"
Hill came out of the shadows and paced to the cage .
Timothy was shocked and then became wary . He moved two steps back . "Who are you? Who let you in? Where is Roland Wimbledon? I want to see him!"
This was the formerly haughty king .
Hill had only seen what Timothy looked like from a distance in the ascending ceremony . At that time, he wore a crimson robe, a shining and noble crown, and he held a golden scepter in his hand . Surrounded by the Knights of King's City, he walked to the high platform step by step and accepted the coronation . Hill once hoped that he would become a good king who would give everyone a stable life, but the later raid tore the whole city, the acrobatic troupe, and the families apart . As a result, all these expectations for the future disappeared .

Now, he finally felt the sweetness of revenge—it did not contain any pity for this enemy or emptiness after success . Instead, all he felt was just sweetness and happiness, which warmed his cold heart again . . . To his surprise, he found he actually was fond of this kind of feeling .
"I'm Hill Fawkes, Your Majesty," Hill said as he bowed . "I'm a member of 'Dove and Cylinder', and it's impossible for you to know me, but I know you . "
" . . . " Timothy was stone-faced and speechless .
Hill did not care at all, however, and continued, "There should have been seven members in this acrobatic troupe, but we lost a partner because of you . Since then, the six of us left no longer focused on performing, but we hid among the Rats and hotels to inquire about your movements . After that, we organized and analyzed the information and sent it to Lord Roland . " He paused, and then said, "By the way, we told him about your plan of developing snow powder and impressing militiamen to invade the Western Region . We also made the two saltpeter factories in the suburbs close down and transferred them to other places . "
"What're you talking about?" Timothy squinted and said, "A hidden traitor who is proud of what he has done? A traitor who betrayed his king and reaped the benefits of betraying his dignity? I don't know anything about the 'Dove and Cylinder' at all . Stop your tricks, you lowlife!"
"Benefit? Betrayer? No . . . Your Majesty, I just followed my heart," Hill said quietly . "That partner is my wife . She died in your witch-hunting campaign . In prison, she was tortured and insulted, but the ultimate punishment for the murderer was just 25 silver royals . "
Timothy's eyes glittered .




"Do you remember now?" Hill spread his hands and added, "Although the City Hall later gave three gold royals as compensation, it actually means nothing to me . My wife will never come back . She was not a witch, but she died because of you . "
After a while, Timothy said, "I didn't do it . "
This rather weak answer was as sweet as honey . Usually, this response would have been met by a sneer and a "so what?" .
"At the time, Lanry, who executed the arrest, was your henchman . Even Steelheart Knight couldn't stop him . I just wanted a fair verdict, but the court and the City Hall rejected my appeal . There's no doubt that you were behind this . . . "
"No, enough! You lowlife!" Timothy could not help but roar, "Do you know what you're doing? If that witch-hunting campaign only wronged your wife, what you've done will ruin the Kingdom of Graycastle! Lord Roland? You idiot! Roland Wimbledon has been dead for a long time! Your master is a real demon! You decided to serve a demon just for a woman?"
" . . . Is that so?" Hill asked raising the corners of his mouth . "When I begged the Gods, there wasn't any response . At that moment, I swore that as long as I could get my revenge, even if he was a demon, I'd follow him to hell . " He bowed with his hand on his chest and said, "Goodbye, Your Majesty . I'm much honored to have aided in your destruction . "
. . .
When he returned to the basement's entrance, Theo nodded toward Hill . "Are you satisfied?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, please take me to see His Majesty Roland," Hill said, as he took a deep breath .
On the third floor of the palace, he finally saw the man whom he had served for the past six months—Roland Wimbledon looked much kinder than Timothy . Although they had the same gray hair and gray pupils, he did not have the arrogant temperament that kept people at arm's length . He did not even . . . look like a royal nobleman .
"I'm very grateful for your undercover work in King's City," said Roland . Hill was also surprised by his first sentence . "Thanks to your intelligence, I could prepare everything to conquer King's City at the lowest cost . "
"Don't mention it, and I was doing what was right . . . "
"Certainly, I know you did that for revenge . Timothy will soon have his due verdict . Now that you have what you want, you can start a new life, but I hope that you can continue to work for me . " Roland got up, walked in front of him, and looked at him . "There is still much to do to help the city restore stability and even return to its past prosperity . For example, Rats need to be controlled, and the restless noblemen also need to be watched, but Theo won't be able to cope with these tasks alone . What do you think? The members of your acrobatic troupe and you can work in a secret and formal position to protect the people of the city from a similar tragedy . "
"I'd love to, Your Majesty," Hill said and solemnly knelt down . "Even if you didn't say so, I'd still follow you forever . You fulfilled what you promised before, and now it's my turn to do so," he said slowly . "The rest of Hill Fawkes' life will belong to you . "
The flower of revenge finally bore its most delicious fruit .
