The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Let's mark today as the day we will never forget! Remember the losses we have today so no one else will feel the same as we feel today! Let's make a world where our future, our children can play and laugh!"

"OOOOOOOHHH!"

Nice. Seems like Shirley is getting the hang of public speech. The first time she enters the stage, she was speaking as if she's reading a text. I don't think anyone noticed it. But now, she can express herself better. I think she had made some improvisation as well other than sticking to the script. But it's better than the script that I see.

Shirley… you are cheating with writing the speech on your palm. I can read it easily.

But it's a good thing that she gained experience today. Maybe in the future, she will give another public speech again since she's a royalty. This experience today will make her grow into a better… public speaker?

Shirley speaks a lot about the cult that we know, but that doesn't mean Luiz, the perpetrator of the stampede, only has to listen without talking back.

"So what if you people die!? You are all trash! Garbage! You all only good enough to be served as a meal for the monsters! Why won't you all just die!?" I shouted insults using Luiz's voice.

The already despaired Luiz fell deeper into despair. I think his mind is already gone.

There was some research about this case that I read before. I think it's about someone who received a great shock his mind can't handle it anymore. In the case that I read in my previous life, his mind regressed into that of a child. As for Luiz, he hasn't showed any other symptoms than this blank expression of his.

I don't know if it's just an act or not, but whatever the case, he will die today. We can't let him live no matter what condition he's in.

Hearing my insults, Shirley has a scared expression on her face. Why did she have to do that every time I threw an insult? She needs to get used to insults.

"You have a lot to say, don't you? Why don't I make it so you won't be able to speak again?" I said with my normal voice.

Then I let Victoria come out of Luiz's mouth as I wrapped a cloth to cover his mouth. It means my voice acting time has ended. Now I only need to play as Shirley's guard.

"Roy. Your shamelessness is on another level." Victoria whispered as she moved from my palm to right next to my ear.

"What shamelessness? I'm just playing my part."

While we are having a small chat, someone in the crowd shouts to have Luiz died.

"Kill him!"

"Avenge our families!"

"He must die!"

"KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"

It was just one and two at first. Then everyone shouted to kill him right on the spot.

I guess our works to make Luiz and the cult as everyone's enemy works too well. I think it's time for closure.

Meanwhile, I see the funny twins are shouting other things than kill. With this much noise, I can't hear what they are shouting. But I think I heard someone shouted to kill Luiz in a detailed way. Like sinking him in a lake. Maybe these shouts came from those twins.

But still… to think that everyone wanted him die as well. We're doing too well in agitating the people.

For these angry people, insults work better than words of encouragement. Rather than having someone in high position saying let's work together, it's easier for these people to understand insults thrown to them by the one at fault, Luiz.

But it works even better when the two is cooperating well together.

"Calm down, everyone! He will surely be punished with his life for what he's done! But please remember that the cult is still there! Everyone needs to come together as one so we all can defeat that Evil Cult!" Shirley shouted at the top of her lungs.

Everyone cheered for her. In this timeline, we all can work together. I hope nothing bad happens in this timeline like what happened in my previous life.

And now once the cult realized that we know of their existence and their danger, they should be quieted down a bit. And we'll use that time to get stronger.

I thought that everything is over. We will take Luiz somewhere outside the gate and kill him so his corpse can be used as bait for monsters to come again near this city. Monsters are necessities for hunters to survive after all.

But I was wrong. It's not done yet.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

There are still some people shouting to have Luiz killed. They wanted to see him die right in front of them.

"Calm down! We will kill them but not in front of everyone!" Shirley tried to calm the people but she failed.

"No! Kill him right here!"

"If you don't show us his dead body, we can't trust you!"

Tsk! Don't they know that there are children watching? We gained too much attention that children who don't know anything curious about what's happening on stage and they are watching us right now.

I don't mind killing Luiz in public, but I don't want children to be traumatized by that. But for the adult, I don't mind if they are traumatized.

Seeing that everyone is shouting to kill him without mercy, I have an idea. But first, I need to make sure that the children are not watching.

"Victoria. Sneak into the crowd and tell everyone in the plan to keep children away from the square. Just make sure they can't see anything is fine as well.

"Alright. Are you going to kill Luiz here?"

"No. Just a bit demonstration of what they wanted to see." I said in whisper.

Victoria then left my side without anyone noticing. Having a monster that can communicate is really useful.

After seeing that the agents and also my friends moved to block the children from viewing the stage, I make my move.

"You really want to see him die here?" I asked the people despite Shirley's confusion of my action. I should have told Victoria to relay a message to her as well.

"YES!" Everyone shouted in agreement.

"I'll grant your wish!"

I took out a dagger and simply cut off Luiz's left ear.

"HMPHHH!!"

Although the scream was muffled by a piece of cloth, everyone can hear it clearly. And they are all quieted down when they see the cruelty of what I did.

"What? You think I'll let him die quickly? Of course not! I'll have him die in agony! After a long torture! Now, do you want to see him die here!?" I asked again.

Everyone is afraid of what they see. They must have thought that someone will use magic to kill Luiz since that's what a normal public execution should be. But the last public execution should be many years before I was born, so I don't know about it. And no one would use a knife to execute someone.

This is that kind of world after all. Since Aura user went to extinction in the past, no one would bother improving their physical ability. All kind of battle and conflict are solved using magic. But now in front of them, they see someone who didn't use magic for execution.

I also have looked around and see that there are no children seeing this sight. Some of the kids are being taken by agents dressed in guard uniform and told them that kids should not see this. And some just simply stand up in front of the kids so they can't see what's going on.

But of course some kids would still understand what's going on hearing the scream of their governor and what I just said. At least they didn't see it directly.

"Isn't this what you want!?" I asked again. And no one answered. Everyone is scared of me.

"Enough! Luiz will be executed away from the city and that's final! Take him away before he dies! Surely there are no objections, right?" Shirley asked.

I see… she's fine with cruelty and violence in front of her, but she can't handle insults. That's interesting.

I cut of the rope that tied Luiz and picked him up on my shoulder. I walked off the stage and everyone is avoiding me. They made a path for me to walk. Everyone is looking at me in fear.

That's good. Although it was just an improvisation, I have another goal in my mind as to why I did that.

Making everyone hostile toward the cult is already done. Then another thing is that gruesome display of me cutting of Luiz's ear. I think I left his ear on the stage, but I don't care.

That display of violence, by the princess' guard, will make anyone who have evil intention to the princess, think twice about it. I see some men whispering dirty thoughts while I was still on stage. They didn't even bother to hide their expression. Everything is shown on their face. Although I can't hear what they're whispering about, I know it should be something bad. Especially since some of them tried to approach Candy and the others while she's doing her job hidden within the crowd.

But now, those people have terrible expression on their faces. They are afraid. Afraid of me who is acting as the princess' guard. And that mean they will be afraid of the royalty who hired someone as violent as me as their guard.

I don't know how long we will stay in Melk, but I think Shirley will walk around the city during the time we're here. Maybe even alone at times. That's why her safety is important.

I don't want Albert to find out that something happened to Shirley when she's under my care.
