(EP.184)Ann Take #3
184 – Give and Take #3
There were quite a few guests who came to my room.
Elgar walked in and out of my room as often as if it were her own hideout. Professor Mirnana Stella Belhawk also visited.
I was surprised in many ways when they suddenly came without talking, but there has never been a time when my heart seemed to sink more than today.
“Tae-oh, I asked where you went and where are you coming from now. As you well know. I don’t like to tell the same story twice.”
Queen Aira was sitting on my bed, her legs solemnly crossed.
Its appearance makes me think that I am the owner of this room and that I am a guest who has come to my mind.
Isn’t this my room?
I looked around with panicked eyes for a moment, and my belongings were all over the place. This is definitely your own space. Realizing that fact triggers calm thoughts in many ways.
“Queen Aira. I’ve only been doing my job for a while. So, how did Aira-sama come to this place? If you had told me in advance, I would have cleared the room.”
My room is pretty clean. Because I don’t live well in my room and I only sleep.
However, there may be things that Elgar has been looking into, or things that are not good if you show Ira.
─Fairy Ann-!
I raised my eyes to the maximum and looked around the room. There is no such thing as Elgar’s underwear, and the stockings she left behind or troublesome things are nowhere to be seen.
thank god.
Breathing in relief, he asked again.
“The room must have been locked. You must have struggled quite a bit to get in through the locked door.”
I pretended to congratulate Aira for her hard work, but secretly turned and bruised why she opened the locked door and came in. But Ira didn’t seem to understand.
“There is no lock that I cannot open. So Tae-oh, what did you talk about with that girl, Serazade?”
“… … .”
Let’s get straight to the point.
I wondered if there was a spider attached to my body by Aira. Otherwise, Aira wouldn’t have known what it was like to meet Serazade.
“How did you know that?”
“I am the wise queen. A wise queen knows everything that’s going on in the world. So, Tae-oh, didn’t Serazade ever do harm to you or something?”
“It wasn’t like that. You told me you wanted to hear some stories about the future. In return, I received public oil.”
week by week.
I told the stories that just happened before Aira misunderstood. After hearing the story, Ira seemed relieved, saying, “Nothing was wrong.”
Suddenly, I was surprised that this was the first time something like this had happened.
Has Ira ever been so overreacted to anything I did when I met Mirnana or Elgar?
“Serazade, that girl is like a viper. You’d better be careful as you can pinch your ankle and make it impossible to move. So, is that the end of your conversation with Serazade?”
At Aira’s question, I thought of Serazade saying that she wanted to grow taller and of asking me if I had any plans to come to Turki’s court.
It’s hard to say because it was a secret between her and me that I wanted to grow taller. Speaking of scouting me, I was worried that Aira might be going crazy.
I’ve been doing well these past few days. When you think that all of that is in vain and it will return to nothing, your eyes get dizzy.
“There are more.”
Then Aira spoke to me in a soft voice.
“Clearly there is more. Come on, tell me.”
Because it feels good at times like this.
Aira was stroking my hair, urging me to talk more. If I tried to pretend like this, Aira’s anger might be directed at me.
“Can you please listen to me without misunderstanding or getting angry?”
“Tae-oh, you know, I’ve never been misunderstood or angry when I heard a story.”
“Serazade asked me if I would like to come to the court of Turki.”
“Ugh, yes. I heard you say that.”
That was the end of Aira’s words.
“… … .”
“… … .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Neither she nor I speak to each other.
The sensitive sense of the half-fairy gave a warning that Aira was very angry and that she was about to express her anger, but Aira’s expression was very calm.
Then Aira asked.
“So Tae-oh, what do you think of your answer?”
“Of course I was going to say no. I am at Angmar Palace, and it will be next to Queen Aira.”
“Is that so? But Tae-oh, I respect your choice, Tae-oh. Even if you go to Turki’s palace, I won’t mind too much.”
“Is that real?”
I was a little surprised. Aira is thinking of sending me to another place. It seems that the peaceful days she had spent at Ark so far had a major impact on Aira’s personality.
blink.
Ira laughed at him. It was a beautiful smile.
“Anyway, Tae-oh, if you go to Turki’s palace, I, Queen Aira, should take over Turki’s palace.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have to tell Reinhardt to send Jeon Seo-gu to form an expedition to invade Turki. The time has come to put an end to the long quarrel between Angmar and Turki.”
“… … .”
If I change my affiliation, I think I’ll take over the place. Ira hasn’t changed. No, it changed, but it got worse in the wise way.
“Then bring me paper, a pen, and the royal seal.”
“Are you really going to war with Turki?”
“Yeah, don’t you think that now is the right time for an invasion when the Queen and Prince Qasim are abroad?”
My eyes darkened. Turki is a small country compared to Angmar.
But it was never to the point of ignoring it. Turki is a place known for having a lot of magicians with good firepower among the soldiers.
Also, isn’t Suleiman the Great who blocked the advance of the Demon King Solomon of Angmar still alive? I don’t think Aira can do anything to Turki, which even the Demon King couldn’t invade.
If the invasion of Turki was to be armed and poured out budget and troops, even if it was victorious, it would be nothing but ashes of glory.
Then, Angmar may lose his fortune, and in the jaws of dispersing his troops, materials and resources to go to the wall may be cut off, and an army of malice may come over.

No.
It must be stopped-!
“Ira-sama, Gracia is a neutral country right now. It is a big violation of the rules to make a political decision, let alone a war, because of what happened here.”
I rushed to convince Aira. Ira raised her chin slightly as if to say something more.
“Tae-oh, the provocative act was on the part of Turki’s prostitute. Are you telling me to be patient? As a queen, I don’t think that’s right.”
“If it’s a provocation—?”
“It’s no different that Serazade told you that. He must have been trying to make a difference between you and me, and to take advantage of it. Whatever your answer, Tae-oh, is to create distrust between me and you.”
Are you smarter than you think?
It was just as Ira said.
In the first place, it is natural for Aira to be misunderstood because Serazade had time alone with me.
If there is a crack between her and me and the feud between Angmar continues, it is likely that the neighboring countries are watching from afar to benefit.
It was surprising that Serezade was plotting such a scheme, and it was quite surprising that Aira was able to grasp it so quickly.
Impressive though.
If you look at it that way, it is definitely the Turki side that has been the first to attack.
But, isn’t it a bit excessive to immediately start military action? It’s like being stabbed in the stomach with a single honey chestnut. That is, overreacting.
There’s no way the church would admit that.
Ira said.
“It’s the fight that Turki’s girl started first. You’re attacking me without knowing the scale and fraction. Then it would be right to make him pay the price he deserves.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t answer it because it was so right.
The important rule of the world is give and take. Just like when something comes, something must go.
It goes without saying that if I have been beaten, I should also show a corresponding response. It’s a world where you look down on you if you stand still.
“But, Tae-oh, as you said, it may not be the right way to invade Turki.”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
“Even if Tarantera’s flag is planted in Turki’s palace, Serazade, that girl wouldn’t be able to admit that she was inferior to me. We need a more thorough victory.”
Whoops, whoops, Ira smiled gracefully. However, because of the shadow on his face, he looked very sinister. Was this the face of Aira who sat on the throne and waited for the main character’s party?
“Really, Tae-oh. Thanks, that’s a good idea From the duel trial to the Turki Empress Naburin. Tae-oh, you were planning all this.”
Then Aira put her palms on my cheeks. Then I started pulling my ball with the main pressure, but I couldn’t understand the English.

“Compared to Aira-sama’s luxurious room, this place must be small and shabby. I’m sorry I don’t have much to offer.”
I handed Aira a glass of beer from the refrigerator. There were two people in a small room, so the air was hot and the wind wasn’t blowing very well today, so it was very hot.
The beer itself was cheap bought at the kiosk, but with ice floating on it, it would be worth drinking coldly. Of course, this is Elgar’s, but that’s all he had to give to Aira right now.
Aira, who took it, took a sip.
“It’s cool.”
“When the sun goes down and it gets a little cooler outside, I’ll take you there.”
“okay. Tae-oh, but how can you live in such a small room? Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
At Aira’s question, I glanced around the room. 1 person room. It was never wide, but it wasn’t narrow either.
I thought it was just the right size, but for Aira, who had only lived in a grand place, this place seemed cramped like an animal cage.
“Some people live in smaller places than me.”
I pointed my finger at the dog squirrel Kung Kung.
The guy is working hard on the treadmill in the glass cage. The dog squirrel Kengkeng’s house was so small that it wasn’t even one square foot, but he never complained about it. Aira, who watched the scene intently, took a few more sips of beer and said.
“Tae-oh this time, I hope you will become single numbers like us. Because the private room of Single Numbers is quite good.”
“I’m on Single Numbers… ?”
“okay. It seems that you have broken through the 5th hierarchy wall with the gift you received from Serazade. Your magic power is boiling, and your body will feel light, right?”
Like an excellent wizard, Ira accurately judged my level. However, her expression looked somewhat lonely.
