Chapter 225 – Episode 216 – Sadat “We Want to Be Active Too!”
* Episode 216 – Sadat “We want to be active too!”
The royal palace in the desert.
Shetka is enjoying the glory of a new industry booming along the newly created river.
This land may be experiencing its greatest heyday since the founding of the country, but contrary to the situation, the leader of this country was very uncomfortable.
“Uuuuu of them! Those ob noxious girls! If there was such a good event, I would have invited you too. Just leave this one out~~ !!”
Squeak! Hehe~!
A tall, slender beauty with ebony skin, black hair, glowing yellow eyes, and golden eye makeup around her eyes, she let out a screech like a cat in heat. The sight of her screaming and screaming in the center of the throne room, saying she couldn’t hold back her sudden anger, seemed like a girl who was very far from the image of people who knew her.
“Ah, ahaha… ”
“That… That… “
The people lined up in front of Sadat laughed awkwardly. Everyone was in a pitiful position, with their arms tied and their chins resting on the floor. Behind them, the soldiers and their stepdaughter, Shapira, were yawning as if they were falling asleep, and the atmosphere was unusual.
“Sadat… Queen?”
“─What is it!”
“Hic! Well, that’s what I mean~! Why were we brought here… I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit…”
“We didn’t do anything wrong~!!”
Nod!
The men with their chins on the floor agreed at the same time.
They were all funny little guys, but their clothes were great and they were showing off their wealth to the point that you could tell they were some noble or well-to-do person just by looking at them…
“Huh? You didn’t do anything wrong?”
「「「「Keui… 」「」「
… Even those in power are powerless in front of El Sadat.
Sadat sat back down in his seat and scolded them bitterly, looking down at them for making excuses while he was already in a bad mood and was pounding the floor with his bare feet in anger.
“You guys… Are you sure they were the leader of the Alliance who broke camp right in front of our Shetka?”
“It’s a broken-down Allied Power… “
“It’s a union of cities… “
“Are you a part-time job? Afraid of being satisfied, no matter what you do, no matter what you do or what you call yourself, you are nothing more than an insect in front of women!”
“Ugh… “
They expressed their dissatisfaction, but in reality it was literal.
Currently they are losers. Anyone can see that he is a prisoner of war. While Roman was having a hard time with Tiber, Sadat was also having fun.
“It’s good that we, Shetka, have set our sights on the land that has been pushed out of contentment through our hard work! That’s right, you scumbags like you already have a small amount of land. They would have wanted a land that wasn’t ‘t ‘t tainted by the curse so much that their hands would stick out from their necks. That’s why, out of mercy, I stayed quiet across the Roman River without interfering with your rule!”
“I know that… “
“So, didn’t we say that we should get along well by sending tribute or something?!”
But Sadat is adamant, even though he asks why he is doing this.
“You guys, you don’t really think that Yeo doesn’t know?! Where are they sending the fish they secretly catch every night? What are the Britannia bastards thinking of doing this?! Can’t you hurry up and tell me everything?!”
Jiing-!
「「「Hiaaaaa?!」」
Suddenly, Sadat’s eyes lit up, and a beam of laser beamed out from there and separated them. While he is doing various enjoyable things for the Cornelius family, he is the only one who is preoccupied with public affairs and is still involved in this matter. When I expressed my anger at them and generously relieved their stress, they were aggrieved and asked why they had to be treated like this, and they shouted out what they knew.
“S-we don’t know!”
“I really don’t know anything!”
“You don’t know~?! Then what do you mean, you were cooperating with Britannia without even knowing why?! Do you think that makes sense now?!”
“I know that the Roman River is important! What it produces is also valuable! I know it all!”
“It is said that if you eat the grilled fish there, you will gain immortality, you will become younger, or your wounds will heal…” ” !”
“So, it’s a river that Shetka values… When Britannia asked for cooperation, I thought it could be put to good use!!”
“… “What are you saying?”
“Aren’t we in a cooperative relationship with that country, Shetka, in the first place?! If we had known that this would be a problem, we wouldn’t have cooperated!”
“It’s true! I hope you believe it! We really had no intention of fighting Shetka!!”
“… Mmm!”
Their explanation was as follows.
From the start, Britannia wanted things caught in the Roman River, the city-states across the river cooperated without knowing anything, and since they were valuable in the first place, they were sold with the intention that high-ranking Britannian priests or the queen would secretly use them.
Fundamentally, we did not cooperate with Britannia itself. If we were to be honest, it was the act of a small person who only committed theft because he needed money. It was just a trivial act to receive money or support by cooperating with a major country.
“So, what did you receive from them?”
“The land was polluted during the last war, right?! So we were provided with materials and priests to purify it!!”
“Did you receive anything else?”
“That’s right! It was all for the land!”
Even while going wild over such injustice, Shapira is quiet.
This side could also use mind reading, but the fact that it doesn’t react…
‘Is it all true? I never thought they would use these idiots to plan something. Those guys are really good at cutting tails… ‘
Mmmm~~!!
As he folded his arms and maintained a grumpy expression, the city-state’s influential figures all began for his life. Once he didn’t lie, his chance of survival was 100%, but because of Sadat’s impression of him, he was worried that he might die.
“Shapira. What are you thinking?”
“Well, as I said last time, the current Queen of Britannia Gabrielle’s predictions were completely wrong… She may be moving for a certain purpose, but she is probably very confused, right?”
“Do you think that’s why they revealed their tails this time?”
“That’s right… If the original plan went according to plan, I was planning to join hands with Sadat and keep the victorious Tiber in check… Look what he’s doing now! Roman is alive, and the Chang Dynasty is openly siding with Cornelius during the war. For example, we, Shetka, who originally decided to join hands, are keeping Britannia in check so that she cannot participate in the battlefield… In the meantime, we have lost with Chappelle because of the previous incident. . , So we are in a situation where we are isolated, aren’t we~?”
“So, without any intention of asking for our cooperation, you ordered these thugs to steal your father’s precious tribute?”
“Originally, that would have been our role, right~?”
“Aren’t you playing into their hands?”
“Let’s be honest, it’s Britannia that’s backed into a corner… There are no allies, no allies, and no way to win in any of the remaining four great powers… Wouldn’t you have realized by now that the bug in your palm is actually a deadly poisonous monster~?”
“Hoo.”
It was easy to imagine the blonde beauty screaming “Kyaa!” And falling down while waving her palms. The bug held in the palm of your hand is a monster called Roman. I thought that even if it was poisonous, I could easily trample it because it was a bug, so I threw down my heel, but my shoe was bitten off and I died.
“…As an analogy. However, that opinion is correct. From the fact that the Queen herself tried to recruit you to the fact that she truly thought your husband was dead, that woman didn’t get anything right. She’s pretending to be pulling the strings behind the scenes, but in reality, She is a naked girl who has not succeeded in anything, so by now she must be trembling with shame as she realizes how insignificant her vision is.”
He finally laughed, saying that it was quite refreshing to think about it that way.
Apparently, Sadat disliked Queen Gabrielle so much that she stamped her foot, saying that she couldn’t wait to see the woman cry.
“Well, then we can just leave like this… ?”
“Ah, it doesn’t matter. From what I heard, it seems like you really didn’t know and cooperated, so I’ll turn a blind eye this time.”
“Thank goodness!”
“Who would have thought that something like this would lead me to the point where my head was cut off?!”
They whimpered, saying, “At most, we only caught and sent a few fish.” Even though they look like this, they are the heads of the United City-State, but right now, they are no different from children. From their point of view, they thought it was a minor problem and not something to be upset about, but they were using this as an excuse to start a fight and tried to attack everyone, so they were even imagining that the entire city alliance would be destroyed.
“Rather, the only thing you sent was fish?”
“Yes, yes… Queen Gabrielle did not come in person, but she close associate her… She seemed to be looking for something that could help with recovery.”
“It’s about recovery, I haven’t heard that she was injured. Britannia must have a lot of magicians who are good at healing, so you’re saying it’s too much even with just those guys?”
“We’re good at details… But they seem very nervous…”
“I asked if it would be okay to import it directly from the Cornelius family, but they kept quiet.”
‘That’s not right, I lost my relationship with my husband.’
I crossed my legs and thought for a moment.
‘The Cornelius family was severely disgraced due to this incident… Is there something that needs to be treated by borrowing the power of the great spirit sleeping there?’
Even in this situation.
‘The Chang Dynasty is an enemy, Chapelle is an enemy, Tiber is an enemy, and we who did not participate in this war and were observing Britannia’s movements must have judged that they were enemies too… They say that maybe tomorrow the four major powers will join forces to destroy them. It’s so urgent that they have to do something like this in such a situation… ?’
… …
… I don’t know.
‘First of all, I should contact my husband… ?’
I had a bad feeling.
Of course it won’t be wrong.
Because it’s always been like that.
“Ah, Sadat niim~?”
“Why are you calling me?”
“A fire has just arrived from Britannia.”
“… At this timing?”
“Yes~.”
“What… Did they plan something to do this?!”
“No… That’s not it… “
Shapira puts a palm to one of her ears and pretends to answer the phone, relaying her counterpart’s story. Not Gabriel, but the reaction of someone related to Britannia is soft. After hearing the almost one-sided report in just a few words, she sighed briefly and said, “Ugh,” And then told the story she had just heard.
“Eh… To be exact, it was reported through envoys dispatched to Britannia Maan… “
“What did you say?”
“Britannia says… Sincere congratulations on the Cornelius family’s victory, criticism of the former princess of Servilia who recklessly tried to blame Britannia, and afterward, each country except Tiber cooperated and set sail to begin the expedition they had postponed. Let’s set a date…”
“You really left out everything about the last war. Even an expedition at this time? Is that girl really crazy?”
“Keeping each other in check is something each country has been preparing for all along… So, the way they are saying is, why not put aside each other’s intentions and prioritize satisfaction for now?”
That is right in the sense that they are countries that originally came together to deal with Mansang.
… Now is not the time to say that!!
“It’s obvious to anyone that your intention is to waste time! Do you think we’ll grant you such a request?”
“But you can’t start a war just because you’re a player, right~?”
“Why!”
“There’s no way Roman would allow it~!”
“Mmm~! That’s right~! My lovely husband… I’m sure he plans on having fun on the expedition again… !”
“He’s the one who went to Britannia even though he knew it was a trap… It’s 100% true that you’ll get scolded if you hit it here, right~?”
“Ugh~!”
Here, if the four great powers join forces and destroy Britannia, it will be over.
No matter what you plan behind the scenes, you can’t do anything if you don’t have time.
However…
“Ugh… I don’t want to get scolded by my husband… “
“Even Sadat couldn’t participate in this event… I’m not making a good impression here… “
“Pfft!”
So there is no choice.
First, I will report today’s incident to Roman, but the answer I will get is obvious.
It was nice to see them smiling, saying, “Let’s go on an expedition first~!” As if they were going on a large-scale picnic.
“What should I do?”
“First of all, I need to contact your husband. Anyway, your opinion is worthless. If he wants to enjoy it, he can’t help it.”
“You’re pitiful… “
Of course, the answer that came back was as expected.
Sadat was forbidden to interfere with Britannia and was waiting for his reappearance.
