Book 7: Chapter 24
“My, your majesty, are you heading out already? You really are an action-taker. I might not have been able to see you one last time if I had woken up later.”
I looked at Nara who was in front of me, smiled and said: “Don’t say something so scary. We’ve lost two days already. Thank you for taking care of us the last two days, Lord Nara. Time is of the essence for us now.”
Nara smiled and responded: “Yes, your majesty. Your majesty, you must pay attention to something. Though the four other nations have not been explicit about it they have surely sent out their own teams. Nobody is your friend in that place with no one managing it. You are the team I am sending out. You will be watched as soon as you leave the city. Therefore, be cautious. I do not want my dream to end before it starts.”
“It’s not just your dream alone. It’s my dream too, so I won’t let it end so soon.”
“Yeah? You sure let me feel reassured. I am reassured. I have prepared several things to allow you to be more comfortable.”
She waved her hand and a young man came up from behind. He had really tanned skinned, a common trait of those living in the desert. Maybe it was more a chocolate colour? Beneath his slightly curly hair was a pair of very clear eyes like stars in the desert. Though his skin was a little dark, they didn’t hide his refreshing facial features. His lean and competent appearance made him seem like he was made from the same mould as Castell.
Could it be that you lords all like this sort of guy?!
“This is my childhood friend who is also in charge of the imperial guards, Military Official Tarak Suofurisk.” Nara pinched his face and smiled. Her reserved nature and dignity reduced a little as she revealed a playful nature young girls have which gave off the comfy feeling between childhood friends.
“Y-Your majesty! It is an honour to meet you!”
