Chapter 369 – Side Story) Carmina Narmer’s Wish
Kanabna la metu waf ussus nafta.
The opponent of the gods who raises the dead, the glorious victor who will finally overcome.
That long, long name was the one Carmina received when she succeeded her father as pharaoh, at a time when she led kings and heroes against the gods…
The ongoing battle with the gods.
Even in the face of continued death, they hoped to win, and in the end, Carmina, true to the name she had been given and what that name meant, achieved the achievement everyone had longed for.
In the war against the gods, as per the name given in hopes of victory, he ended up killing ninety-nine fallen gods… And even cut down the ‘beast of death that sings of sorrow’.
In the end, according to the name given to everyone’s wishes, it was victorious after confronting the gods.
However, there was no glory after that.
A prosperous future where the gods are slaughtered and the freedom finally achieved is achieved.
Even if it was said that it was a curse and an evil spirit that was scattered on the world when God died, it was all in vain as it was struck by the destruction that came with the death of God, who was the pillar that supported the world.
So, more people died.
Half of the world.
All the men lost their lives due to the curse spread by God, and those left behind were unable to envision a future any longer.
The end of the war that was started to envision the future and continue life left only the end of everything.
Those who survived, including myself, became the only beings waiting for the destruction that was planned along with the world that was destined to collapse in the end.
It was despairing, but I couldn’t despair.
He was a pharaoh.
He was a being who had to lead, care for, and help his subjects live.
As long as even a single subject was alive, he was and had to be Pharaoh.
Therefore, the destruction was postponed.
He killed the god, ascended to heaven through the fragment he held, and with the help of most of himself and many others… And the help of Ammut, ascended to the empty throne.
A wise god and a burnt offering to postpone destruction.
Until the end of his subjects… At least until then, he wanted to postpone the destruction of the world.
If, at that time… That being had not come, he would have disappeared for the last time, watching his last subject die a peaceful death.
A huge being.
I now knew what kind of being that was, the gigantic being that had grabbed the world in its hands and moved it entirely.
Father of all dragons.
A predator that eats the gods.
Even the ‘Beast of Death Singing Lament’, which they were able to kill after much sacrifice, who is called the god of gods, cannot dare to be compared… A god who rules not only one, but many worlds, a person who eats even the great gods.
‘The vicious eternal glutton’
A lot has happened since I was brought into this world by that god whose name is also terrifying.
And, now… I am able to enjoy things that I was never allowed to even wish for until now.
When she was still very young, her hands were precious, and as she was born as the eldest daughter of her father’s enemy, the Pharaoh, she was busy receiving education as a successor and the next Pharaoh from the time she was a toddler, so she did not have time to do that.
This wasn’t the situation to begin with when confronting the gods.
After finally killing all the gods, it was impossible because all men in the world would die and await destruction…
How could it be that even when he came to this world—he had sacrificed so much to postpone destruction, even what he hoped for was a luxury.
I was able to enjoy love and the happiness of being a woman.
He wriggled and placed his hand on the chest of the man lying next to him… Hanzo.
I snuggled into Hanzo’s arms even more, feeling the remaining warmth coming from his fingertips that had not yet gone away.
It was warm.
I rubbed my cheek to feel the warmth even more.
Then, I slightly turned my head to the side and looked at the sleeping face of Hanzo, the face of the man I had come to love.
He was no longer Pharaoh.
So, no more long names…
There was no need for the name Kanabna La Metu Waf Ussus Nafta.
All that was left of her was that she was just a woman…A woman named Carmina Lemaire.
A woman who can lie down next to the man she loves and be happy looking at his sleeping face.
If you have any regrets…
Could it be that there are many women by the side of Hanzo, the man she fell in love with?
Of course, it was only natural.
For a person who has always excelled, many people of the opposite sex tend to be attracted to him.
It was natural for many females to be attracted to heroes-level males.
However, it was quite a big problem that the beings who were supposed to share the love given by the hero were not easy going.
From the beginning, he thought he couldn’t have it all to himself, and even he planned to share it with Karura, who fell in love with the hero first, but for some reason, he still wanted to be loved more, and he wanted to be the most loved by the person he loved. This is probably a thought that any woman could have.
I don’t get jealous.
From the beginning, it was something that could not be helped.
It is natural for those with ability to gain more.
To be honest, if she had been alone, she would not have been able to handle the excessively energetic energy of the hero and would have tried to trick him into taking a concubine.
Even if she had combined her powers with Karura, who had initially decided to split her love between heroes and lovers, she would not have been able to hold out for long.
Even if that wasn’t the case, he might have urged Karura to embrace more women in case he ended up having her child.
If you block your sexual desire and have no way to relieve it, your eyes will inevitably turn elsewhere.
If that happens, her emotions will also be directed elsewhere.
Since you can’t leave it like that, it would be easier to keep it in a place where you can control it, or to bring it into the hero’s harem.
Naturally, there was a huge difference between what had to be shared and what was lost.
When everything is lost, it is right to share it.
So, there was no intention of monopolizing.
Also, it was difficult for a jealous woman to be loved.
Moreover, that role already existed.
Lilith Ashtaroth.
She was the first woman the hero met, and although the hero himself did not seem to realize it, she was probably the first woman the hero fell in love with.
Her jealousy was a privilege that only she had.
The ‘jealousy’ of her being rather than her would only alienate the hero from his favor.
At first, since he is a kind-hearted hero, people will find his jealousy cute.
She might actually be happy.
But… There will be only one person who continues to tolerate it.
She already had another role to play, one that could be like the hero’s mother, caring and sometimes scolding him.
Hoaran.
Like Lilith, she was once the mother of heroes, but now she has become the woman of heroes, her role firmly established.
At least the hero always tried to follow her teachings and advice.
Although she would sometimes forget or make mistakes, the entire basis of her hero’s behavior followed what she informed him of.
In addition, there was also a role that was different from the previous two roles, someone who could always deliver what the hero requested.
Justitia.
Like the previous two, there was absolutely no merit in competing for her role as an indispensable being by her hero’s side in any other sense.
She is clear about what she can and cannot do.
In this world, all she can do for the hero is to love him unfailingly, bear his children… And protect his harem.
As such, she tried to win the hero’s favor in a completely different way.
It was thoroughly tailored to his taste.
As I heard from Hoaran when I first asked about the hero’s tastes, the hero liked cute things.
I thought that cuteness meant that she liked children, but it didn’t seem to be that.
Before the fall, when men were at their peak of prosperity, there were some who only liked young women, and since I had been propositioned by such people when I was still young, I tried it when I saw the face of the hero who was frightened and his complexion turned pale. I decided to quit.
Recently, it seems like I’ve stopped being as reluctant as before, so I thought about trying again later.
When I was young, I heard from my nanny who taught me how to behave like a woman that hugging a woman like me reduces men’s interest.
They say that you can only maintain your popularity by continuously attracting interest by making various changes.
It was sad just to imagine it, but he was willing to try again later if he ever got tired of his body.
It may be difficult for that body to accept the hero’s actions, and it may be somewhat painful, but it may not be a bad idea since it felt good in the end.
Anyway…
Therefore, he continued to try to be favored.
For the sake of the hero, he behaved a little foolishly, a little too much of a mischievous man.
On the other hand, it suited the hero’s slightly mischievous personality.
As I got used to this, it felt better to see the hero biting my breast, so it was actually nice.
I was worried that if she continued like this, she would end up like the woman her nanny had heard about, who was happy to be beaten by her husband, but she was glad to see that although the hero was mischievous, he didn’t seem to have such tendencies.
After much effort, she was able to get the role she wanted for the hero.
She acts as a loving wife, younger sister, and child at the same time.
Since ancient times, a child who is immature and requires a lot of effort has been considered cute.
In order to achieve that image, there were quite a few things I gave up.
Since I gained a lot in return, I guess you could say it was a perfect exchange.
At least, it was clear that he had a different role from the other three.
Ariadna, Sati and Aileya were newly added to the hero’s harem.
Also, I don’t know what will happen, but given the hero’s personality, he will not be left alone. There is no doubt that a woman named Cecilia… A woman of the mermaid race, and other women will continue to increase by the hero’s side.
Later, she realized that this role, which she had achieved through hard work, would also come in the future… She did not know that she might have to give it up for the sake of the woman who was supposed to share love with the hero.
She wants to win the hero’s favor, but at the same time, harmony in the harem is also important.
Although she was a competitor, she was also a woman who would eventually bear children who would continue the heroic lineage.
Some concessions are unavoidable.
But that was okay too.
Then she went ahead and said she was confident that her role would not be the only one.
I don’t know what will happen in a few years, but my current concern was still the same.
“I can’t wait to have a child.”
I want to have a child with the man I love, even as soon as possible.
As a woman, Carmina wanted only that.
