(EP.181)Sand #6
181 – Wind and Sand #6
The woman in black seemed to be the empress’s messenger from Turki.
She said Empress Serazade was calling me, so please take the time.
Since I didn’t have a big schedule for the afternoon after I was dropped off in prison, I gladly accepted the request to accompany him.
“good. Take the lead.”
Is it because my answer was too cool? The emerald-colored eyes that were exposed under the black veil slid open.
“… This is the position I am asking for. You are taking the proposal from the first meeting too carelessly.”
If you’re following someone you don’t know, you could be criticized for being so careless. Rather, she seemed to be more wary of me.
Did you know that I was just going to do something to myself?
To give one excuse, the city of the denomination is a completely neutral area.
Therefore, even an envoy or empress of a competing country, Turki, would not fall into a trap by taking risks and plotting.
I don’t know if it’s an Aira from Leeds days when her hair was stinky, but that fox-like Serazade wouldn’t do such a thing.
“Here, this is the room.”
So, the place where I arrived was a special room where valuable guests stayed even within the ARC, a specialized training institution for warriors.
The splendid room in which Aira stayed before being assigned her dormitory. Will be coming back to this place again.
Scream, profit.
When I opened the tightly closed door, I saw a hallway and red carpets painted with a cool, pure white paint. It’s cool that even the magic cooling tool is turned on, so it feels good.
Overall, nothing has changed here.
I was just looking around my head with that feeling, so the woman in black who had been guiding me said, “Then, please wait here in this room for a while,” and left the room.
As a result, I was left alone in the room.
The floor was covered with tiger skins, and the beds were lined with non-rod duvets, and colorful pottery scattered throughout was a beautiful space.
Silk clothes and shoes scattered everywhere made it clear that this was a woman’s room with a high body.
👌👌👌👌
I could feel the sweet smell on my sensitive half-elf’s sense of smell.
My guess is that somewhere in this room, there must have been a candy that boasted a nymph-friendly taste.

Right.
Where are you hiding? Is that drawer over there?
As I rolled around, my eyes soon saw a large teddy bear sitting on the bed.
For a moment, I thought that this doll was not suitable for this gorgeous room because it is a doll that little girls would like.
Bump, profit.
The locked door opened and someone entered the room with a high-pitched noise. When I turned my head, I saw a woman wearing a very cool looking silk approaching me.
“You made me wait a long time, half-fairy.”
She was definitely Serazade, who became the temporary owner of this room.
Around her, soldiers armed with curved swords surrounded the three rooms. Serazade, Empress of Turki, waved her palms toward them and gave a light command.
“You can go back now.”
-Yes.
Bump, tick, tick.
The Empress’s soldiers all went out of the room without ever mentioning a question like, “How do you mean leaving the Suspicious and the Empress alone?”
Seems to be well trained. But if it were me, I wouldn’t have left behind only Aira and the suspicious person.
Of course, rather than worrying about a threat to Aira’s life, I have to say it’s because of the fear of what might happen to Aira’s opponent.
In that sense, Serazade seemed to be trusted by people.
“It is an honor to meet you. His Majesty Tanak.”
I got up from my seat and bowed in an exaggerated but solemn manner. Serazade waved his palms at the sight of me bowing my head.
“Empress Serazade is enough. His Majesty Tanak somehow reminds me of my father. And excuse me for a moment.”
Shh. Shhhh
It was as if Serazade took off the high-heeled shoes she was wearing on her feet and threw them aside.
Looking at the shoes removed, the heel seems to be about 20cm. If this happens, isn’t it at the level of completely riding instead of wearing shoes? It’s not at the level that I would call height.

Look, the status window also acknowledges it. I’m also a half-elf, so I’m short, but wearing high heels like that is a bit… .
Soon, Serazade, with eyes like a little cat, sat down on a chair, crossed her legs, and smiled.
“The reason why Jim called the half-elf like this is because he wanted to talk about it once. I wanted to make some time earlier, but I’ve been busy lately, so I’ve only got time.”
“What kind of story do you want to tell?”
“I have a lot to talk about. But it’s really planting. Now, you look like a baby boy who is about to lose his feathers. Why was it rumored that he looked like a monster?”
Serazade must have wondered why the rumors about me were so bizarre.
I knew why. Because I couldn’t be unaware that the enemies and people of the court who hated me had intentionally spread malicious rumors.
Even in the world of the 21st century, when the Internet was developed, there were plenty of rumors about celebrities and politicians, not to mention in a world like this.
So I decided to give a light answer.
“The rumors about His Majesty, King Suleiman of Turki, are not too strong. Tiger-like fur grows all over his face and body, and he bites his enemies with his pointed fangs, right?”
“Yeah, that’s all the rumors about my father in Angmar are. Jim knew. The soldiers of Angmar, who were abused by their fathers, must have created such a rumor.”
“The rumors about me would be roughly the same.”
“However-.”
Shh.
Serazade gracefully extended a finger.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that I see, her hands had rings on all her fingers, and it was kind of funny and cute, like a student trying to look like a grown-up on purpose.
“But the rumors aren’t all that groundless. There is a saying that there is no shadow of a cactus that does not exist in Turki.”
“Are you saying that there is no smoke from the chimney?”
“okay. Rumors have some basis for making them. Actually, my father, Suleiman, bit off the ear of the Demon King Angmar on the battlefield.”
“okay.”
As far as I know, Serazade’s father, Suleiman, is a Turki hero. He fought valiantly in many wars and won.
Solomon of Angmar, Suleiman of Turki. Although both names have the same meaning, their evaluations are polar opposites.
“In that sense, Jim is well aware that all the rumors about you that you are called a half-elf or a fairy can’t be false. So I’m going to ask-“
The atmosphere, which seemed like a light joke until recently, has become quite serious, which made me nervous too.
This woman is a completely different type of leader from Elgar and Aira in many ways.
Also, different from the pious mistress Mirna and the cheerful Narmi, she was a politician who was good at scheming and was able to wit.
“What are you trying to ask?”
“Not all rumors can be false. So I’ll ask. Is it true that you can see the future?”
“Well… , That is… .”
I knew this question was coming. Because the question everyone asks when they meet me is, “You say you can see the future?”
From there it goes, “Who am I going to marry?” Or, there are people who ask fortune telling, “When will my life start to work out?”
Of course I didn’t know that.
The future I see is only the big events that appeared in the original novel.
The events of the future that I know now, which deviate greatly from the original story, are honestly not very helpful.
In the first place, the timing should have been when Angmar’s civil war broke out, the wall fell, and people just died and riots broke out.
But now that everyone is having a leisurely conversation in this arc, it is safe to say that the story I know no longer exists.
Which answer is best here?
* * *
The half-elf is silent for a moment when she asks, “Can you really see the future?” You’re probably trying to think through the answer.
He’s a calmer man than I thought.
Thanks to this, Serazade also fell into an accident briefly. Her unique talent 《Quick Thinking》 started to work.
Serazade took the throne at a fairly young age.
It was because his father, Suleiman the Great, withdrew from court politics because of age and other problems.
Serazade, who won after fighting with his younger brother Kasim for the successor position, seemed to be full of flowers now, but that was not the case.
In other words, I have to say that it feels like I just opened the door to the world. There are still too many problems to be concerned about in the world, and Serazade has many enemies.
ㅡ Empress? Isn’t Prince Qasim more suitable for a king too? Kasim’s magic skills are far superior. Someone who can go directly to the battlefield and lead the army must become a leader… .
-Shhh, Serazade’s ears are all over the country. Be careful with the story.
The group that followed the younger brother was not even organized.
They didn’t seem to want to violate the will of their predecessor, Suleiman, right now, but they don’t know when, where, and how they might come out and become a stumbling block.
‘It’s not easy!’
I thought it wouldn’t be much different from the time when the princess was clean. Should I say that the weight has changed when the seat is changed?
But Serazade had her own confidence.
Because Tarantera, the queen of a neighboring country, who is rumored to be a fool, was the only remaining royal family and sat on the throne. There’s no way you can’t be better than that.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it was clear that Tarantera’s royal family wouldn’t last very long.
It was not strange that the rebellion that was taking place in each country and the discontent of the grasshoppers pierced the sky, and it was not surprising that an angry crowd rushed into the palace at any moment.
1 year at most.
According to Serazade, it was.
Surprisingly, however, as the reign of Queen Aira continued for a long time, Serazade felt doubts.
‘How are you holding up?’
Then, what Serazade found out was that there was a man called a fairy in the court, and the state was moving as he wielded it.
He sees the future, and like a demon he recognizes those who want to rebel and those who conspire.
– Your Majesty, I’ve seen all of them with interest… ! That man’s head is full of baskets and he is plotting a rebellion… ! You must be expelled… !
Of course, Serazade wasn’t foolish enough to believe that rumor.
Seeing that the spies and spies that she had planted in Angmar’s court lost contact or disappeared without a sound, it was clear that something was wrong.
I want to meet you once.
Thus, Tae-oh Gospel, who he actually encountered, was a boy completely different from the image he had envisioned. Since she’s a half-fairy, her real age is probably older than her appearance.
But even so, it is different from the ruthless rumors.

Contrary to the rumors that she is a crook who controls the dull queen from behind, there is even a sense of sensibility somewhere. Only then did Serazade immediately notice.
It means that it is because of this man that Angmar and Queen Aira, who were like lamps before the wind, are holding their seats.
‘He’s a funny guy. I’d like to have it.’
Serazade likes to collect things. In particular, people with outstanding abilities tend to have people around them regardless of their social status or background.
Thanks to this, she was able to sit down on the king’s throne, defeating Prince Kasim, who had excellent magic skills, so her method and choice was the right one, and she felt proud of that fact.
Serazade wanted to take this half-elf and take her to her court. Then, even the slightest bit of luck that the witch queen enjoys can be made into her own.
I’m sorry for Aira, but-.
Wouldn’t it be better to go to the one where the original tool can be used better?
I’m sure this man will want to join the side that recognizes his worth.
Also, even if not, Serazade had the confidence to seduce this half-elf.
First of all, allowing the two of us to meet just like this means that we are half-hearted.
