Chapter 62: You have my sympathy (1/2)

”I am a Black Witch.”

I repeat my words to the audience. My father-in-law looks at me solemnly, but I know that storms are raging in his head. He wants to deal with me just like my previous life. I have other plans for him.

He manipulated Sung Jun for twelve years. He took away my child. He killed me in the end. I had to suffer so much because he labeled me 'evil'.

I thought about killing him. But then, he is Sung Jun's father. Killing a person like this is too easy anyway. How can I let him have an easy life?

Because of the spell, I can already feel the repercussions in my body. Sung Jun's spiritual blanket is adding to my pain. My body feels like being wrapped with a blanket of thorns. I don't want to fall now. I will not show them my weakness. I have to talk to Sung Jun later.

”You have misused your powers. You have harmed the council's man.” He glances at the leader of the black-uniformed men. The leader is lying on the ground, unconscious and blue. He is alive, but the spell might have harmed a bit. It was nothing that the council couldn't handle.

”President Sung, you are mistaken.” Sung Jun walks in front of me. ”It's not Fang Aisa who hurt the council's people. It's the council that overstepped its boundaries and hurt her.”

I frown at Sung Jun. I can fight my own battle. He doesn't have to interfere. He winks at me when he notices my stare, gesturing me to stay quiet with his finger. I roll my eyes at him.

”Sung Jun, who are you to question the council?” Sung Ki-Woong loses his composure. His eyes betray his emotions.

”I am her lawyer.” Sung Jun blinks in mock surprise. ”I am her husband. Don't tell me that you already forgot this, President Sung?”

He is his son, right? I can't help but look at Ms. Sung. She gives me a smile and nods to confirm when she finds me looking in her direction.

”...” Please don't read my mind that easily.

”I know that you are her...” Sung Ki-Woong purses his lips tightly before opening them again. I see that he even find it disgusting to say the word 'husband'. This is good.

”President Sung, do you know the punishment of offending a God's representative? How is the council going to answer for this mistake? Your enforcers tried to harm her.” Sung Jun throws a pointed look at the guests. ”Some of you have even slandered a god's representative. The president of the council and the other councilmen heard and saw, but they took no action. Do you know the punishment?”

With his every word, I saw Sung Ki-Woong's face color changing from green to blue to purple. I couldn't help but chuckle.

”The council has no responsibility,” He tells Sung Jun. ”She didn't inform the council that she is a god's representative. She didn't even enlist herself as a black witch. The gods are fair. How is it council's fault?”
