The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 354 - The Religias Tree

It came early morning by the time everything was okay.

After the bandits surrendered, the mercenaries tied them up and grouped them together before asking questions. They asked who they are, where they came from, how did they know about us, the simple bit.

And the answer wasn’t anything exciting at all.

This group of bandits were a few years old and this was their grounds for hunting, they were a bit popular around here and that they learned about us when we went to the village yesterday.

Just as I thought... but I wonder why nobody tried to warn us from that village. Did these guys pay them to keep quiet?

Well, it doesn’t matter as we already have them and the only thing that mattered is, what to do with them?

When that question came, everybody instantly looked at us, well, more so at Margaret than me. They saw her extreme fire power and the way she so calmly made everyone surrender, in hindsight she was the most dangerous person so she also became the most authoritative one.

I wouldn’t say that I didn’t want the power but... these were just a band of mercenaries, I didn’t think no shit of them and I definitely wasn’t jealous... definitely not.

"What do you want us to do with them, ma’am?" The lanky guy that gave the order to protect us before, asked Margaret.

Margaret opened her mouth to say something, but stopped and looked at me, "What do you think we should do?"

’Oh look at that, she’s trying to play fair with me. How quaint of her.’

I smile, her character in my mind slightly getting bigger, "I don’t have any problem with whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be the right judgement."

Margaret nodded and murmured, "Judgement" Then looked back at the group of bandits. Her smile seeming foreboding to everyone.

"How many of them are still alive?"

"24, ma’am."

"Hmm" Margaret put a hand on her chin with a thoughtful look on her face. Seeming as if the idea was too strained for her. But I already knew that she found it long ago and this was just to make it seem more attune with the others.

"If we let them go, then they’ll just regroup again and attack others right?" She said, "Then I think it would be better if we just kill them all right now."

The bandits were awestruck by the judgement; they didn’t think that even after surrendering, their fate would be to die anyway. Even the mercenaries were shocked by her words, they looked at me, apparently wanting to change her mind.

’Hey, you guys chose her. Why are you bitches looking at me now that she made a good idea?’ I ignore their looks and look at Margaret.

"That’s a good idea Margaret! With them dead, nobody else will get attacked at this place and the village around will be safe too, fantastic!"

"I know, right!" She beamed at me, understanding my support.

If there was any rejection before, it all went away with my words.

Not like they believed me to be of huge help but thought that I would be the only one who she’d value words of.

Well think that before you give the power to someone who burns people up with a happy smile on her face, people!

Let’s be real... I would have given the same results.

The mercenaries, even though they found the punishment a bit too much, none of them argued anymore and some were actually in approval from the start. They gathered the panicking tied up bandits before putting the swords at their necks and looking at Margaret.

With one nod, the swords slashed and heads dropped as the case of the bandits ended here.

Without wasting anymore time, everything was packed up and we started our journey again. It definitely wasn’t because there was a lot of headless bodies here that washed the place with blood... definitely not.

Our speed was a bit faster than before to avoid this surrounding area. Later, calming down to the normal one as to not look suspicious enough to warrant trouble.

Days went and we journeyed further. Unlike the third day, there wasn’t any problem with our travel anymore. There weren’t any attacks nor delays.

To help with her family, Margaret even told me a few things about them.

Before getting to that, let’s first show her current family tree.

First, there was Her mother Sarah Religias, then her father Seman Gallacon. There were other uncles and aunts too, but none who were currently present or important enough.

So to the next generation came Margaret first then Samantha. After Samantha, they didn’t bear any more children.

Let’s introduce her parents.

Seman Gallacon... I swear, name’s not a joke.

A military man that valued discipline and strength. He was currently the head of the Religias family and kept the reins in order. He liked grand show like all lords and had a very keen interest in alcohol.

The main reason why he lost one of his daughter to my scoundrel of a father.

Then there was the mother, Sarah Religias.

Some of you might be wondering why I put the mother’s introduction first when introducing the family and not the father’s? And why the hell is the father last name different?

Well to be put bluntly, Sarah is the real leader of the family.

The Religias family is a Matriarchal Family... well, not really.

When the Religias family and Gallacon came to put their two brightest cogs in a potential marriage, both brides had a bit of understanding at who would run their family.

In the end, by some means, Sarah Religias won it and became the head. That’s why instead of migrating to the Gallacon main family, Seman came to the Religias and stayed here while his wife became the leader. It’s also the reason why the children bore her last name instead of his. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

While I don’t know what would happen with me marrying her, but it’s likely the family could go to Samantha as she was also a potential heir. But we’ll see to that later.

Coming back to Sarah, she was very important.

She wasn’t only the past matriarch of the family but she was once a Valkyrie holding the number one position at the group.

Yeah... she was very strong and everyone in the kingdom respected her powers.

If there’s any way for a woman to truly gain respect and power in this era, it was to be chosen as a Valkyrie.

Now some of you must also be wondering why the fuck is this Seman guy the current leader when it should obviously be Sarah, I asked that question too.

The change happened a few years ago when Sarah being the number one Valkyrie was sent for some important mission. She came back successful as always, but not unharmed.

The injuries she sustained that day made it very difficult for her to hold her strength anymore and thus ruined an extremely potential woman.

So in terms of health issues, she had to give it to her husband, who wholeheartedly took the power and helped stabilize their city.

"You got all that." Margaret asked and I nodded.

"So, I have to impress your father."

"My father doesn’t matter. He’s only the current leader until we get married, who you need to impress is my mother."

"And what do you think?" I give her a charming smile which is critiqued very thoroughly in her mind.

"You’ll be fine." She turned around before taking a look again and nodding to herself, "...You’ll be fine."

’Was that doubt.’
