Chapter 16: Reward

After getting everyone's response, Qiye turned around and looked at Gilgamesh, "This is the decree made by me, Your Majesty."

"This king agrees with this decree. Hey, priestess, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and return the child to his mother." Gilgamesh said to the priestess who was holding the child with a grin.

After receiving Gilgamesh's order, the priestess took a deep breath and returned the child she was holding to the weeping mother. The priestess in charge of delivery knew very well that the woman was the child's biological mother.

So Qiye's judgment was correct.

Qiye looked at the mother who was holding the child weeping happily and saw how beautiful those crystal tears were.

Just like the tears of the Goddess of Creation, it was crystal clear.

"Outsider, is this the little commotion you mentioned earlier?" Gilgamesh, who was in an extremely happy mood, pointed to the crowd below who were constantly cheering loudly.

Qiye took his eyes away from the mother and child, and glanced at Gilgamesh, "No, this is not the little commotion I was talking about."

The turmoil that Qiye mentioned was not the fuss, but after this incident passed, he felt that Semiramis would definitely complain about him being so reckless.

"Tch~" Gilgamesh sneered, then hooked his fingers to the side cryptically, and the servant who had been staring at Gilgamesh saw this move in an instant.

The servant holding the child hurriedly stepped onto the high platform, and said with a joyful expression of 'releasing a burden', "My lord, after a long chase, I finally rescued the child who was stolen by the thieves."

When Qiye heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the servant. Although the servant was sweating coldly, his breath was steady, and the shoes he was wearing were not dusty at all. He didn't look like he had been chasing for a long time.

"Oh, then return this child to his mother." Gilgamesh waved his hand very casually as Qiye smacked his lips. 'The guy who held the royal power didn't even ask what happened to the thief. I think there are problems…'

This time the public trial has almost come to an end, the two mothers have successfully gotten back their own child, and under the order of Gilgamesh, the public trial has officially ended.

Gilgamesh walked towards Qiye, he came in front of him, and with his hands folded on his chest, he sneered and said, "Outsider, your verdict is very satisfying to this king, in order to reward you for the joy you have brought to this king, this king will be generous and let you be rewarded."

"Jewels, gold, cattle, or sheep, what do you want."

"I don't need anything, I just want to get an answer from your mouth." Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked at the handsome tyrant, "I want to know if you planned this incident by yourself."

When the soldiers on the side heard these words, they immediately backed up a few steps in fright and avoided this place, fearing that they heard something, and because they knew too much, they would be thrown by Gilgamesh to move bricks...

Gilgamesh was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed wantonly again, "Hahahahaha, interesting, very interesting! No rewards huh, then as long as this king's response is satisfactory, then this king will answer you."

"That's right, this farce was caused by this king alone." Gilgamesh admitted generously, but his response made Qiye smack his lips, "You have worked so hard to create such a farce, did you have a good time?"

"Ah, that's right, I had a great time, and I haven't had such fun in a long time." Gilgamesh restrained his wicked smile, and looked at Qiye, "You have seen through all this, haven't you, so is this why you pulled out your sword before, to scare me?"

"Not that, at that time I was not sure if you planned these things, so the main reason for pulling out the weapon was to help me and let everyone know who the real mother of the child is," Qiye said.

"It's just that... Then you, a daring outsider, really have the idea of ​​frightening the king."

"How could it be?" Qiye shrugged, and continued to avoid answering, "Now that the farce is over, then, Your Majesty, the king of Uruk, I will take my leave first."

Gilgamesh did not stop Qiye from leaving the high platform, his scarlet eyes stared at Qiye's departing back, this man was different from others.

He was different from those slanderous and flattering coquettish people, he chose a meaningless answer when faced with a treasure that was readily available.

Qiye returned to his original position under the eyes of everyone, and Semiramis, who had a small grudge, creased her nose, "This is the solution you said? It's really messed up, what if they ended up imprisoning you?"

"This method is a bit messy, but it's very effective, isn't it." Qiye smiled brightly at Semiramis, who was anxiously complaining about him.

Qiye's smile was as bright as the sun, making Semiramis' face slightly red, she nodded her head and muttered, "Every time you commit a crime, you always laugh at me like this, really..."

The muttering Semiramis grabbed Qiye's palm and pulled him away from the crowded place. If they continued to stay here, Semiramis felt that they would be surrounded by the crowd.

"This man is really interesting, let's play again later." Gilgamesh, who was enlivened, left the high platform happily. This time, the servants and soldiers hurried over to serve him.

Then Gilgamesh, who was smiling joyfully, suddenly thought of something. He casually buckled a lapis lazuli gem on his luxurious white robe and threw it to the servant who was holding someone else's child earlier.

"Hand this to the woman who knelt down to the king. Since she has knelt down to the king so sincerely, the reward cannot be less."

The gem that was eligible to be inlaid on the clothes Gilgamesh was wearing was a top-grade lapis lazuli gem... This nouveau riche just gave it away!

The servant was very smart. He knew that Gilgamesh was obliquely trying to compensate the two women, so he carried the hot lapis lazuli gem, "King, only one mother is compensated..."

After Gilgamesh's scarlet eyes looked over, the servant quickly changed his words, "Oh, only one mother got a reward?"

"Of course, did the other one kneel down to this king?" Gilgamesh sneered arrogantly, "That woman is trying to usurp someone else's child, so it's fine if I don't settle accounts with her, and you want to give her a reward?"

'This... isn't it because you, an unscrupulous tyrant, caused this farce!'

2 chapters because the other one was pretty short...
