Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government.

This fledgling military government had been engulfed in unrest not long ago.

Their representative suddenly formed the Continental Alliance, and the Egyptian army invaded and waged a great war in their territory.

What if you lose the war?

Everyone couldn’t help but be afraid.

But that’s why the Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government was rather wrapped up in cheers.

“Whoaaaa!”

“Long live the Continental Alliance!”

The complete retreat of the Egyptian army.

Peace Agreement with the Continental Alliance.

Even the soldiers who returned safely there.

Even if the country was not devastated, the residents who prepared to sing three cheers for national independence would be delighted with the result of this war.

Even the soldiers and heads of other military governments who participated in the Continental Alliance were mixed in with the cheers.

It was only natural that the Kilimanjaro Autonomous Government became a festival board.

“Hahahaha! See, we thought we could just trust the General!”

“I think Chief Lucuma, you said something different.”

“Oh, let’s forget about the past! huh?”

“You speak well.”

The main personnel of the local government were also suitable for the festival.

Chief Lucuma opened the whole warehouse and officially opened the festival, and Shu gave him a bruise.

Umbaru was also drinking with the heads of other military governments.

The self-proclaimed best in Africa.

The fact that they defeated the Egyptian army and obtained peace made them infinitely happy.

“You’re happy to be at ease.”

but they didn’t know

The fact that the Egyptian army’s highest power and head was looking at them with cold eyes in the middle of the self-governing government.

“Now that we have signed a peace treaty, we should be happy.”

“Anyway, it’s peace that will end soon.”

Hasneti pointed out in a muffled voice.

After the grassland avalanche is over.

As long as she had admitted defeat to Rose in a duel and signed a peace treaty, she had no intention of starting a war of conquest any longer.

However, that did not mean that peace would come to Africa.

“Even if I don’t move, they’re going to eat each other soon.”

Even if the danger of aggression by the Egyptian army was gone…

or rather, that’s why the Continental Alliance would wage a fiercer territorial war with each other in the future.

In order to seize the hegemony of this continent, which became communist as the summoning lord Branga disappeared and Hasneti stopped conquering.

Even those who share a drink now will point guns at each other in a few months.

Hasneti asserted.

“Yes, probably.”

Rose readily acknowledged it.

Now she, too, knows what Africa is like.

Nevertheless, with a faint smile on her face, Rose quietly continued.

“Still, I think their joy in peace right now is sincere.”

Even if there is a war tomorrow.

They are entitled to rejoice in peace today.

Hasneti, who had been silently looking at Rose as she spoke calmly, followed her gaze and averted her eyes.

Then, in front of the flame of the roaring campfire, I looked at the blond-tanned boy holding a blue bird and shaking it off, and asked quietly.

“Including him?”

“…of course.”

“Do you really think so?”

He seems to have read his hesitation through his late reply.

The moment he heard Hasneti’s sharp question.

Rose closed her eyes.

And I remembered.

The expression on Limon’s face as he fiercely fought against the beast of prey.

Even with the grumpy laugh he showed sometimes.

It was different from the cold ridicule.

That smile, innocent and happy like a boy who met his lover, like a child who received a surprise present on his birthday.

“To be honest, I can understand what you have to say now, Hasneti.”

Uncharacteristic of Noh Kang-ho, who has lived for hundreds of years, I could tell just by looking at his innocent smile.

After all, Limon was a swordsman.

That he was someone who found joy in fighting against powerful enemies.

“But my opinion remains the same.”

“Even though I saw him fighting a predator?”

“Because I saw it.”

Added two predators.

When an ominous energy wriggled from the hole in the sky.

It was easy to guess what Limon was yearning for, just by looking at the momentarily thicker smile.

However, I saw the sight of that innocent smile soon turning into laughter and the actions he took afterwards.

Rose declared bitterly.

“Even if he let his own wishes go, the reason he chose victory rather than battle must be because he too loves peace.”

As long as it’s his choice.

He said that he would help Limon keep and sustain the peace and find another happiness.

Hasneti, who was staring at the calmly speaking Rose with bloody eyes, said quietly as she lit a cigarette.

“I can’t understand you either.”

I saw the same sight.

What Hasneti felt at the time was joy, and that’s why it was a deeper regret.

that he was not wrong.

And he was more convinced than before that his duty as the protector of mankind was nothing more than a bondage that entangled him.

“I can’t understand you either.”

Rose believes that seeing Limon’s beliefs and keeping his pride will make him happy.

Hasneti believes it will be his pleasure to see Limon’s longing and set him free.

love the same man

fighting each other

together against the mighty enemy.

I knew about him.

Even so… or rather, that’s why the two princesses, who came to completely opposite conclusions, looked at each other intently.

Well, it was natural.

Hasneti, whose life is struggle, and Rose, who is just and merciful.

This is because the two were fundamentally at odds with each other, and falling in love, going mad, and falling did not change the fact.

“In that case, think of what is comfortable for you.”

“It’s like that anyway.”

But Hasneti didn’t bother to fight.

Rose, too, did not force her convictions.

Friendships blossomed through acknowledging each other through dueling and facing the summoning lord together…

…not for such a funny reason.

It was the honest feelings of the two that they wanted to be able to put their fists in each other’s faces right away if necessary.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why they persevered.

It was because they agreed that they did not want to disturb Limon’s rest.

Even if each method is different.

Longing to be loved by him.

I sincerely wish him happiness.

The two princesses, so different yet similar, stood shoulder to shoulder like that and watched Limon.

Phaging.

“The princess is gone.”

“Sorry for taking so long.”

It was at that moment that Lucas and Nadia, who appeared behind the two of them, naturally knelt down on one knee.

Although it was only yesterday that we fought fiercely with each other.

Even if it was because of the space movement, the appearance of the two aides appearing side by side was contrary to their princess, and even made me feel ironic.

But Hasneti didn’t care.

I just asked a question.

“Did you bring it?”

“Yes, it kept running away and it took me a while to catch it.”

“It’s fine if you brought it.”

Hasneti walked slowly, not even looking back at Nadia, who proudly held out a cloth bundle.

Towards Limon, who was stuffing well-roasted meat into Yuna-kyung’s beak.

“I’m going to talk about it for a minute…”

“Oh, would you like to have one of the Pharaohs too?”

Maybe it’s because I choked on meat after talking nonsense like always.

Hasneti shuts up when she sees Limon sticking out a skewer at him.

And after a short silence, he asked.

“Can I eat it?”

“Of course not.”

“Then I will eat.”

“Yeah delicious…?”

Who would say that Hasneti just ate some skewers?

Limon, who was talking with a grin, blinked.

It was because Hasneti, who had assumed that he would accept the skewer he held out, slowly bent down instead of extending his hand.

well done

Open your red lips slightly.

Bite meat with white teeth.

Chew slowly until swallowed.

It is unstoppable, like a wild beast taking food from its owner.

Relax like a tyrant craving delicacies cooked by his concubine.

Hasneti lowered her head slightly and chewed and swallowed the skewer in Limon’s hand, starting from the end.

next next next next.

Even the last piece of meat was gone.

Nevertheless, at the end of continuing to go back without stopping.

Hasneti’s sharp fangs even bit into the little finger holding the skewer.

No, it seemed so.

widely.

That is, if another skewer intervening on the way hadn’t blocked her path, as if crossing.

“If you’re hungry, have this Hasneti.”

Hasneti raised her head.

Then he looked at Rose, who was looking at him with a light smile, and said in a muddy voice.

“Not required.”

“Is that so? I thought you were exhausted from hunger because you ate it without dignity.”

“What’s so lacking in the way my concubine feeds me?”

“He will no longer be your concubine.”

“I remember having my concubine kidnapped by an unscrupulous thief, but I never allowed him to cease being my concubine.”

“That is a coincidence. I also have memories of being robbed of my own concubine by an unruly tyrant.”

Cut-cut.

Yuna-kyung swallowed the meat that was filling her mouth without realizing it.

The passing voice is calm.

The tense atmosphere of the two princesses, which made the feathers of their bodies stand on end, made her salivate.

So after looking back at the only person who can stop the two princesses.

Yuna Nakyung made a puzzled expression.

soil.

[…manager? What are you doing?]

“What are you doing?”

[…]

Yuna-kyung was dumbfounded.

Are you eating skewers in the middle of this?

that’s understandable Because this person is originally such a nobleman.

One problem.

It was the fact that the skewer Limon was eating was none other than Rose’s holding.

“That… swordsmith?”

Is it because I was so confused?

Whether or not Rose, who had forgotten even competed with Hasnetty, blinked blankly.

Limon devoured each piece of meat from her skewer.

And so Limon’s lips, which had eaten the last piece of meat, finally went back to the white fingers holding the skewer.

Rose swallows dry saliva.

The moment Hasneti clenched his fist.

licking.

Limon ran his tongue over the corner of his mouth as he naturally put it on a skewer.

“Ah…”

What was it that was regrettable?

Rose involuntarily exclaimed.

As Hasneti sighed quietly.

Limon spoke leisurely as he watched the people enjoying the festival on the street.

“Sister Pharaoh. Is it a festival today? So let’s just relax.”

“…i get it.”

“Sorry for bothering you.”

“Even to the point of worrying about it.”

Where did the bloody momentum from a while ago go?

Seeing Hasnetty hanging her head like a dog scolded by her owner and Rose blushing with embarrassment, Yuna-kyung put on an absurd expression.

However, Limon asked calmly.

“So what do you mean Pharaoh wants to say?”

“…?”

“Didn’t I have a business?”

Hearing those words, he seems to have remembered his business.

Hasneti said quietly.

“Your gift has arrived.”

“My gift?”

“okay.”

Hasneti reached out his hand in front of Limon, who wondered what kind of nonsense he was talking about.

The moment she held out the cloth bag she had received from Nadia, who was behind her.

Squeak.

[Huh?]

Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.

It was because the contents of the cage were so unexpected that the fabric of the bundle flowed down.

[…senior? What are you doing there?]

Gray feathers.

skinny body.

Even the color that doesn’t look good.

Yuna-kyung was taken aback when she saw the old bird who had told her about Hasnetty’s secret space in a cage that she couldn’t recognize.

I couldn’t understand why Hasneti gave me this old bird as a gift.

so the next moment.

Yuna-kyung was so shocked that her eyeballs popped out.

“Are you going to give me this turkey as a gift?”
