Chapter 36

The whole house was silent, only the passing of the wind could be heard. I closed my eyes and waited for the old man to speak again since the saintly woman shook me earlier and said it would be better if I listened, the old man never spoke again, what kind of human is this old man doing?

"Can you--" I stopped talking and looked at the dead light above the three of us, I frowned and looked at my two companions who were just calm. I looked around and looked for the person who made the lights go out, but I couldn't see anyone.

"I don't see any evil spirits here," I said and looked at the old man.

"That's because it wasn't an evil spirit that did that, it was the curse itself that did that," The old man said calmly and took a deep breath.

"More than a thousand people lost their lives after telling the curse to someone, they all died the same way. They were all found speechless and eyes wide open." This made my forehead wrinkle.

"And that's because of the curse that my sister made?" I asked he nodded.

"What curse did she make and it seems to have a very strong effect on everyone who tries to say it?" I ask.

"More than two hundred and seventy-six years have passed since the town was covered by dark magic the town was under control by the Eanthal clan, which is now under the control of the Eloso clan under the leadership of king Asrad." The old man said so I stopped and thought.

Eanthal, Eloso, Asrad. Isn't Cynrad's last name is Eanthal and Pavel's last name is Eloso and Pavel's father name is Asrad. The Eanthals used to rule over the town. That's why the king included Cynrad's name in the selection in case Pavel couldn't find the old minister.

"The Eanthals are the true rulers of the town that are called Winsoul as well as its kingdom that is called the Winsoul kingdom. But the fifteen kings of winsoul, Carven, have feelings of envy for the Eanthals." The old man said that Abiah and I were silent while the old man was just talking.

"The supposed fifteen kings of the winsoul kingdom were from the Morwags clan and not from Eloso, because the fourteen kings at that time could not trust the Eloso clan at that time. But one day, everything turned upside down and the Elosos were more fully trusted by the fourteen kings and not the Morwags, that's why Carven Eloso, the fifteenth king ruled and sat on the throne, and since then. The leadership of the Elosos in the winsoul kingdom as well as in the town of winsoul." The old man's story then laughed.

"But do you know why what happened that day was suddenly reversed?" He asked us, Abiah immediately shook her head so I was devastated.

"Because the fifteenth king Carven sold his daughter to the devil." I was silent at what he said while Abiah was surprised at what the old man said.

"Sold? Can that be?" asked Abiah.

"Yes, he made a deal with the devil, just like you," He said to Abiah so she swallowed stupidly.

"But Ksara won't take anything from me, so we're still not the same." said the holy woman, so I rolled my eyes.

"You're not sure," I said so her eyes widened, I looked back at the old man. "Continue the story," I said.

He was about to speak when the aquarium behind him suddenly broke, causing the saintly woman to stand up and be scared.

"Calm down, we have protection from the strongest creator among us," The old man said so I almost threw up, the cringe.

The holy woman sat down again and calmed herself down, I was exhausted.

"Keep going," I said to the old man who looked at me and was about to speak when the plates in the kitchen broke again.

"Damn it," I said and waved my hand, little by little black smoke covered the three of us until only the three of us could see our eyes.

If the noise continues, I might cut the old man's head off. Because of his slowness of speech, so I made a black box where no one can disturb the three of us.

"Now go on," I said emphatically to the old man who immediately nodded.

"Because King Carven sold his daughter to the demon, he became the king of Winsoul and the entire town of Winsoul, Carven's daughter should have died if the son of Eanthal's clan had not made a deal with the demon." He said.

"The son of the Eanthals made a deal with the devil? Why?" Abiah asked.

"Because he loves Carven's daughter." the simple answer is, that's why I am about to explode because of irritation.

Because of the love, that man was able to negotiate just for the woman his parents offered to the devil, a stupidity.

"What happened? Did Carven's daughter die? The man with Eanthal blood? What happened to them?" Abiah asked.

"They both died." He said it bitterly so I laughed.

"How did the town have a curse?" Abiah asked again.

"Because the demon that the man from the Eanthals talked to was jealous of Carven's daughter. The man's love for Carven's daughter was too pure to the point that he asked the demon for help, that's why that demon was jealous. .. She cursed the town." He said and smiled bitterly.

"She cursed the town that every time the new year comes, the memories of all the people living in the town will be lost and the ones they love the most will be forgotten, except for their families," Tanda said that's why I stopped.

That means the demon that the Eanthal man asked for help was Alada, because based on my memory, the old man said that Alada is the name of the demon that created the curse.

Is this the secret that Alada is telling me that she will tell me when I accomplish my mission? But no, I remember, it has something to do with me. Her secret has something to do with me that's why--

I stopped and looked up at the old man.

"Why do you know that thing?" I asked. The holy woman looked at the old man as if she was also confused as to how he knew this.

"I once... Served in the palace." He said so softly that my eyes narrowed.

"What position?" I asked.

He took a deep breath.

"As prime minister."

"He has to go around the whole town and go out of the City if necessary to find the oldest Minister who served in the four palaces."

I grinned. Well, we found what Pavel was looking for. He will be king but I haven't finished my mission yet.

"What is the name of Carven's daughter and the boy?" suddenly asked Abiah as suddenly there was a long silence between the three of us.

"I remember, their names were Karma and Pavel." At this moment, I suddenly stopped and froze in my seat.

I looked at the old man in shock because of what he said.

"W-what?" I asked so he looked at me.

"Carven's daughter's name is Karma and Eanthal's man's name is Pavel." his answer that gets my system became weak.
