Chapter 99: So what, Arrogant Human?
Chapter 99: So what, Arrogant Human?
Harry drove towards the city wall of Aduseon's capital, stopping right before the dumbfounded guard witches, all staring at the big box of metal with confusion.
Harry got down the truck and said, "I am the messenger of Lyria, the ruling human force. My king has sent a message for the queen of Aduseon. Let me in, or Lyria will declare war at Aduseon."
One of the guard witches broke out of her trance at this statement of Harry's, and broke into laughter.
She laughed so hard that it seemed like her life depended on it. After wiping off the tears that rolled down her eyes due to laughing excessively, she said, "So what, arrogant human? What if you declare war? We wouldn't let your king enter our kingdom even if he came personally, let alone a messenger like you. Don't think that you humans are immortal and all powerful just because you have a few strong Demonic knights."
Except for the queens and the ancestor, no other witch knew about the new power that the humans wielded. The guard witch was completely blinded by her arrogance, and did not even bother to think about the truck that Harry came in.
Harry smiled at this statement. His smile was not a bit warm. Anyone who looked at his current expression under the armor would feel their heart go cold.
"Pluto, I tried. I guess it's the nukes then.", said Harry in a chilly tone.
Pluto too was slightly irked by the arrogance that the witch showed. He sighed and muttered, "Go on Harry. Some people are just unchangeable."
[Host, how dare that witch behave like that? Kill her! I'll give you a temporary boost!]
"What's the cost of it?", asked Harry, slightly startled.
[Nah, I couldn't charge such a good and benevolent Host. It's free!]
Harry stared blankly. He then screamed, "Who are you?! What have you done to my diabolical system?!"
If the system had a face, it would definitely have a dark expression right now. It said angrily,
[Is it so bad to try to be nice?!]
Harry blinked a few times and said, "Well, it is if it's a system that's trying to be nice!"
[Host, do you want the temporary powerup or not?]
Harry was about to respond when the mocking voice of the witch rang out again.
"What happened? Do you think we will let you in if you stand there like a statue? Maybe I should kill you personally? Oho! Maybe you are frozen in that spot because of fear! Makes sense. After all, you humans are fearful morons, and you must be scared after realizing that you won't live."
Harry felt a headache coming up and had a strong urge to massage his temples. He felt extremely irked now. The arrogance of this witch has crossed human understanding.
He was about to ask his system for the powerup when the sound of a slap rang out.
Harry looked at the area from where the sound came dazedly.
An old witch slapped the young witch guard. The slap contained so much force that the young witch guard fell on the ground from the top of the city wall.
She clutched her cheek, not understanding what just happened.
The old witch descended from the city wall with a fierce expression. She snarled at the young guard witch, "APOLOGIZE! NOW!"
This made the already shivering young witch guard flinch as she said in a low tone, "I'm sorry for my atrocious behavior."
The scene that had just played out completely overturned the understanding about witches that Harry had.
As far as he knew, witches were self centered bi*ches who felt that they were almighty, weren't they? Then, why was this old witch making the young guard witch apologize, that too to Harry, who was disguised as a messenger?
Looking at the fearful expressions of the other witches, Harry perceived that the old witch was someone with a high status. Before he could continue his train of thoughts though, the old witch bowed in a humble manner towards him and said, "I apologize for the mistreatment that you have recieved. Please forgive this young and inexperienced witch. Follow me. I will take you to the Queen of Aduseon."
The young witch that just apologized to Harry looked thunderstruck. She stared at the old witch blankly. The surrounding witches were staring at the old witch in a dumbfounded manner.
This old witch was none other than the grand ancestor, the person with the most power after the queens.
The grand ancestor was an amiable person, but she was like a prideful phoenix.
She valued respect and dignity more than her life. She wouldn't allow even a small reduction in her dignity, let alone apologize so humbly towards someone.
That was why this scene was so shocking and scary. Just what made the grand ancestor apologize to an ordinary messenger, that too of the lowly humans?!

A whole month of hardwork for 14 dollars... That's just sad. Really takes out the motivation to write.
