Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Portuguese term or phrase:
hás-de-pagar-mas todas
English translation:
you'll pay for your actions
Portuguese term
hás-de-pagar-mas todas
This happens after the female character (A) reminds the male character (B) that she's not part of the village council which he threatened to kick her out of for mistreating character C.
From my understanding:
pagar: Sofrer as consequências (ex.: pagar os erros). = EXPIAR (Priberam)
mas: me + as
as: as coisas más [que fizeste]
It's not clear to me whether he'll seek revenge or just hope she gets bad karma.

Lara Barnett
: This is not expressed very conversationally, so it sounds too wooden for the context. // I am aware it is literature, but this term comes from a conversation, or at least a conversational quote. Conversations happen regularly in literature!. Thanks.

I've added British English - mainly in the South, mate - for choice idiom.
