#337. You don’t have to worry about it.
* * *
North Africa was a barren and barren place, as much of it was covered by the Sahara Desert.
Nevertheless, the reason why the North is regarded as an object of longing in Africa is because a country existed there.
It is the second oldest after the fairy kingdom.
It is the most powerful country in Africa.
The only affluent country covered in greenery in the northern part of the desert.
That is Egypt.
“Waaaaaa!”
and at this moment.
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, was in a festive mood.
No, not just the atmosphere, but a festival was actually taking place.
This is because there was no festival better than the Triumph in Africa, where war is commonplace.
In addition, it was not an exaggeration to say that this improvement ceremony was the best ever because of the fact that the bigger the victory, the more splendid it is.
Conquering one-third of the continent.
Defeating the summoning lord, etc.
Through this achievement, Egypt has become the loser of Africa both in name and reality.
Therefore, the citizens of Cairo were divided into 10 divisions and greeted the Egyptian army, which returned proudly after the war of conquest, with enthusiastic cheers.
“Look over there, it’s the 1st Corps!”
“I heard you captured a whopping twelve countries this time?”
“Rather than that, the 4th Corps is more amazing. They said they captured the impregnable fortress of Motora Oasis in two days.”
“Look, I see the 7th Legion over there!”
“oh! Widow Yangsangi, the 7th Corps Commander!”
Every time a new corps appeared, the citizens cheered and scattered petals from the baskets they had prepared.
In the midst of the fluttering petals, the improved corps respond by throwing the gold and silver treasures they have looted from the military government they have occupied.
As much as the petals were scattered, the basket was filled with heavy and shiny things instead of flowers.
The cheers and smiles of the citizens also grew thicker and thicker.
It was a sight that could be seen because it was Egypt, a historic military nation in Africa.
And the cheers of the citizens peaked the moment the last procession appeared after all ten corps had entered.
“Apopis! Apophis’s mercenaries!”
“Egypt’s greatest fighters!”
Military uniforms differentiated from those of the Egyptian army.
Various armaments including spear swords.
Even tattoos on brown skin.
Distinguished from other corps in every way, citizens greeted them more enthusiastically than ever before.
Power is everything in Africa.
In that sense, the fighters of the Red Dragon Clan, who had been called the world’s best mercenaries for a long time, were an object of admiration for the Egyptians.
“…!”
but right after that.
All cheers are gone.
A jeep appeared slowly following the procession of the red dragon clan.
It was because he saw a beauty with burning red hair in a military uniform sitting in the back seat.
Unlike the owner of this triumphant ceremony, she did not stand up from the car or show off her presence by waving at the citizens.
He was smoking a cigarette in silence with his arms crossed.
Even so, people held their breath by themselves just by witnessing her.
President of Apophis.
Princess of the Red Dragon Clan.
African tyrants, etc.
A superman who was called by many titles and proved himself to be the absolute ruler of Africa by defeating the summoning lord.
This is because Hasneti III was an object of awe to them by its very existence.
“…victory and glory to Pharaoh.”
But that’s for a while.
The moment someone opened their mouth with a trembling voice.
Those who had been silently watching her stamped their feet in unison and began to repeat the words loudly.
thump thump!
“Victory and glory to Pharaoh!”
It was really just the beginning.
Everyone who came out to watch the triumphal procession who hadn’t even seen Hasneti yet.
Furthermore, the ten legions that were marching together and the soldiers guarding the procession.
In the end, even the citizens who watched the procession on TV at home or at work.
Everyone in Cairo became one and slammed the ground with their feet, shouting that their throats would be torn.
cooong!
“Victory and glory to Pharaoh!!!”
Its appearance is truly a flame.
As if a small cigarette light would burn fallen leaves, burn forests, and turn the entire continent into ashes.
It was a scene in which the embers that spread from person to person instantly covered the whole of Cairo, making everything vibrate with shouts and excitement.
A tyrant?
Are you always at war?
None of that mattered to them.
this is africa.
Being strong was enough reason to praise the continent, and she was their pharaoh.
In particular, the sight of the loot she had plundered, sitting side by side with Hasnetti in the back seat of the jeep, made them even more enthusiastic.
“…”
However, Hasneti was not at all pleased with the reverent praise.
I just looked at them with cold eyes and took off my military hat and put it on the booty next to me.
Seeing her face revealed so brightly, the citizens cheered even more.
The fighters of the Red Dragon Clan who were escorting the vehicle started to act in unison.
Hasnetti’s jeep hurriedly threw out the gear and duffel bags from the ten army trucks that were following him.
The moment when the military uniform and duffel bag that fell among the citizens were torn and the contents exploded.
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Whoaaaa!”
“Long live Pharaoh Pharaoh!”
The land is covered with riches greater than all the gold and silver treasures scattered by the past ten legions combined.
Citizens cheered in a different way until a while ago and ran frantically to pick up gold and silver treasures and bundles of bills.
Until long after Hasneti’s jeep had passed them.
Because of that, they didn’t realize it.
Booty sitting next to her.
In other words, a blonde-tanned boy was sighing deeply with the helmet Hasnite had put on him, covering his face.

“Are you feeling better…?”
“Okay.”
“Yes, you would.”
Maybe it’s because I was running around without blinking my eyes while preparing for today’s triumphal ceremony.
Is it because of what happened before?
A girl in a baggy military uniform who asked for her regards even with a tired face.
Nadia held out the tray and said with a tired face.
“Please eat.”
“Not required.”
“Even if you don’t need it, eat it. If you don’t take it, you have no choice but to throw away this expensive green dragon clan medicine.”
Take a moment to look at the dark-colored decoction bubbling on the tray.
Hasneti eventually took the decoction and swallowed it in one breath.
It’s a good thing to burn your neck.
However, as expected of the Red Dragon Princess, she took one shot of the decoction without raising an eyebrow and put the empty bowl down.
“Is it okay?”
“No, you should continue to eat it for at least a month.”
“I would have said it was fine.”
“Even if it’s okay, for the time being, stay in shape and replenish your energy. What are you going to do if you overdo it and get hurt?”
Nadia said firmly.
I would have obeyed if it was about other things, but this time it was different.
It’s because Hasneti used Yonghwa.
Originally, Yonghwa is an act that is dangerous enough to shorten lifespan or leave a disability.
No matter how much the burden was minimized by receiving the assistance of Yeomryongdae, even that minimal burden was enough for internal injuries to remain.
Proof of this is that all of Yeomryongdae, who immediately assisted Yonghwa, fell ill and could not participate in the victory ceremony.
So Nadia, an aide, had the duty and right to treat Hasneti by force.
“…there’s nothing to overdo now anyway.”
“Yeah, that’s a good thing.”
Is it because you know that?
Seeing Hasneti reluctantly admit that she needs recuperation, Nadia sighs.
Yonghwa was the last resort used only when dealing with a sword master as the risk was high.
Even so, the reason why this attack was planned on the premise of Yonghwa was because Hasneti’s will to end everything with this battle was so firm.
In fact, by defeating the summoning lord and annihilating the summoned beasts of Utopia, that goal has been halfway achieved.
One problem.
That was literally half the success.
“But Princess, why did you spare the heads of the military government there?”
That’s why Nadia let out a sigh.
Obtaining information about the banquet of the Utopia Guild through spies and making an infiltration plan.
I worked tirelessly day and night to make this raid a success.
Failing half of the objective wasn’t enough, so even the war was stopped.
It was astounding for her.
“You should know why.”
“Because of the side room you brought in this time…?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t understand more when you say that.”
Nadia scratched her head.
Even if that limor boy had blood from the Egyptian royal family, there were plenty of nobility like that.
Hasneti had no reason to stop the war because of the favor of one such boy.
So the only possibility was that Hasneti decided that Limor’s sculpture was worth it.
“If you want a sculpture, you can just grab it and have it made, right?”
“What if you don’t listen to me?”
“That’s it, if you torture or flog…”
“Can you guarantee that the result of being forced to do it will be as good as giving yourself?”
“…”
There is no way to be certain.
Depending on whether even simple tasks are forced or paid for, the results and efficiency vary greatly.
If you forcibly make something as delicate as a sculpture, the result is obvious.
Still, if you train close to brainwashing, you should be able to raise the quality, but if you were satisfied with that level, Hasneti wouldn’t be like this.
“Is his sculpture worth it?”
“there is.”
“If the princess judged that, well… I can’t help it.”
Eventually, Nadia agreed.
In any case, the decision of the princess in the Seven Dragons is absolute.
Besides, even if I changed my mind now, I couldn’t undo what I had already done.
“If you knew, treat me well.”
“Do not worry. Because I have already ordered treatment close to that of a sire.”
Nadia, who answered lightly, added another word as if she had just remembered.
“Anyway, it’s a bit unexpected. I didn’t know that the princess would take such a child into her concubine no matter how justified it was.”
“…”
“I know you’ll throw me away anyway if I get a swordsman as a sire.”
Still, since he is a nobleman with royal blood, he said he would take good care of himself so that he would have enough to live on after being kicked out.
Hasneti, who was silently watching Nadia, who said it was a waste, said in a muddy voice.
“Looking at you saying that, it looks like the results of the investigation have come out.”
“yes? Ah, it has been confirmed that he is the descendant of a family that has since collapsed and moved abroad.”
“Is there any room for trouble?”
“Not at all.”
The investigation took some time because he was busy with the end of the war.
However, there was no need to worry about Limore as he had already completed double-triple verification from his birth record to his academic background and subsequent activities.
It was impossible unless you were a fraudster in the world to fake all that history and witnesses.
That’s why Nadia said calmly.
“The only problem is that I used to be the mistress of a woman called Outlaw of the East… Well, I’m a woman, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Squeeze.
A black-haired girl in pajamas.
Li Qingyu poured the coffee he brewed into a cup.
After enjoying the strong coffee aroma, he swallowed a sip and opened his mouth.
“Now then, let’s start talking.”
Li Qingyu did not pay attention to the fact that even water, let alone coffee, was not served to the guests.
There was no reason to treat an uninvited guest who came without a message in the middle of the night like this.
More so for another reason.
“Could you give me an acceptable explanation for why this happened?”
An Egyptian newspaper lying on the table.
Li Qingyu looked up at the photo of Hasnetty on the front page and a tanned blond boy with a military cap covering his face beside him.
And the uninvited guest who kept silent opposite him.
Unlike usual, who was always well-groomed, he looked at the strangely tired woman and smiled.
“Rose, if you sold Hasneti your sword skills, then I have to kill you and Hasneti.”
