21 Rings of fire

"What are you doing with me?" Sylia shouted when her body was trapped with rings of spells around her. She looked at the three witches who were standing in front of her with their hands raised in air and eyes closed. Their lips often parted as they were murmuring the spell.

A few soldiers also stood behind the witches with their spears pointed towards Sylia.

She could not help but be so frightened that her face had turned pale. Her face had lost all the colors. However she did not show any emotion on her face. Whoever looked at her made a mental note about her that she is so fearless.

A soldier came forward and whispered something beside the middle witch's ear. In reply she nodded her head and took a deep breath and fastened her murmuring speed. Sylia who had practically lived most of her childhood growing around the Bennett's she was aware what does the fastening of spells meant. Although the spells won't show its action immediately however she was aware soon she will start to experience the other actions of the spell.

And as Sylia had predicted, the spell was to tighten the rings around her, forcing her to scream in pain. Sylia's eyes turned red with the pain she was enduring, especially since in the morning itself Yama had grabbed her arms so tightly and the rings were around that same place only.

When she could not take that pain anymore, she all of a sudden yelled and shouted. The rings were actually burning her skin.

"Leave me alone."

"Stop!! Stop this."

Outside the harem, Yama was walking ahead. When he heard the yelling coming out of his room, a curse escaped his lips as he fastened his steps. Walking with particularly long steps, he quickly reached the entrance of the harem.

What came to his sight immediately made him angered. There were red rings around Sylia and they were burning her skin. Her face was paled and tears were flowing from her eyes. She looked so pitiful that not only the Yama but the minister who was just behind him could not help but feel pity for her. Since his height was short, he only reached up to the chest of Yama.

He slightly came near towards Yama and nudged him on the sleeves unconsciously. Although Yama was himself surprised he understood that he needed to walk ahead or else Sylia was going to lose her life. With a loud and cold voice he shouted. His voice was filled with anger while he spoke.

"Stay away from her." When Yama's voice echoed everybody was stunned. They could not help but take a few steps back and immediately lowered their heads. Everyone was equally surprised. And the main one was surprised till the bottom of her core was the witch who was standing in the middle. She came here with the thought to please the Yama however she never expected to see Sylia here.

Although it was restricted to directly enter the room of the Yama, these witches actually dared to come inside the main of the bedroom. This thought was making the minister frozen while he kept on wondering about it. He could not help but clench his jaws when he looked at the face of the middle witch who was standing there completely frozen on her spot. The minister immediately understood what might have happened. He looked at Yama to inform him but stopped when he saw the rage on his face. He gulped down the words he wanted to say.

"What is happening here?" His cold and stern voice made everybody present there tremble in fear. Especially the witch who was standing in the middle her face was blanched of any color.

However, his rage did not calm even a slightest bit. He closed his eyes and spelled something and in the next movement, the witch who was standing in the middle fell down on the floor and cried out in pain. As for Sylia, the rings of fire around her disappeared. But the pain must have been quite unbearable for her so as soon as the rings disappeared, she fell unconscious.

But before her body could touch the ground, the Yama was standing there to catch her and she fell in his arms rather than on the floor.

Since everybody's heads were lowered so nobody could see anything but the witch who had come earlier with the intention to please Yama, looked at them with the corner of her eyes and could not help but curse Sylia inwardly. However, could her words remain hidden from Yama, even if she spoke in her mind? No. The Yama had heard the witch while she had cursed Sylia. His anger reached its limit and he quickly mumbled something under his breath and in the next moment her body neck slit off from the rest of her body. Her head fell down on the floor and came rolling near Sylia's feet, which was considered as asking for forgiveness after death.

Though she was beheaded because of the words that Yama had spelled, however, why did her head touched Sylia's feet this was surprising to everybody. Even the Yama, he himself was surprised!
