Chapter 826 – Day 95 – Meeting a Temptress in the Great Plains
“There’s no need to bring in a bunch of soldiers like this, is there?”
The princess grumbled softly and skillfully got off her white horse.
Next to her was Sabas, similarly riding a black horse.
“If you’re thinking of coming to the Great Plains, shouldn’t you do something like this?”
Next to and behind the snorting Sabbath, well-armed soldiers stood in line with their weapons.
The princess came to a place called the Great Plains with Sabas.
‘The extremely tall tower where Princess Kaguya lives was a strange sight, but this place called the Great Plains also had a quite strange appearance.’
When she first rode her horse, she thought she would only see buildings from other cultures that had a moderately exotic feel, but the moment she arrived at the ‘Great Plains,’ her impression completely changed.
First, unlike before, where buildings were occasionally visible, no matter how much I moved my eyes or turned my head, I couldn’t see any intact buildings in the Great Plains. No matter where I looked, all I could see were green, green grass.
When I turned my head completely and looked at the path I had walked with Savas, I could see towers and buildings rising high at the edge of the horizon very blurry. Other than that, it was hard to see any decent buildings in the Great Plains.
“The Great Plains is quite a different place than I thought.”
“I’d like to hear a little about why you thought that.”
“Isn’t it a bit strange that we haven’t settled on such a wide plain?”
Sabas smiled slightly and nodded once.
“Everyone says that when they first see what this place looks like. But there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Sabas tapped the ground with his toe.
“The land of the Great Plains appears to be extremely large and fertile, but in reality, it is not suitable for proper farming.”
“So you’re going around here and there taking livestock and feeding them grass?”
“That’s correct. They also plundered villages located at the end of the Great Plains.”
The princess thought for a moment and then looked at the vast, empty land.
“Merchants departing from Holympia might use this place as a road.”
“That’s correct. There’s really nothing here. Rather, it’s a land where not even monsters live properly, so merchants can travel safely.”
“On the other hand, Tsuyuya, who is called the witch, seems to be robbing those merchants.”
Savvas chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, let’s say they rob her. Let’s say she receives protection money. Still, since she is a woman called the monarch of the Great Plains, they won’t openly rip her off.”
“They don’t just use violence and rob money, but the fact that they actually steal money outright doesn’t change much, does it?”
Sabbath laughed lightly and walked a little along the empty plain. Then, when the wooden object he was holding in his hand emitted a bright light, he cleared his throat.
“Great General Sabas is here, so he will open the door! A distinguished guest wishes to meet Tsuyuya, the monarch of the Great Plains!”
A voice louder than expected echoed loudly across the empty plains.
A moment of silence followed, and the sound of fluttering cloth was briefly heard, and then pure white tents suddenly appeared in front of the princess.
“I showed a rude attitude because you came without contacting me.”
A woman who did not look like a simple gatekeeper appeared with her white tent wide open and bowed as she looked at the princess and Sabas.
“Tsuyuya is inside. Please come in.”
The woman who spoke in her calm voice had quite a few scars on her face. After finishing her sentence, the woman completely secured the entrance to the huge tent so that the princess and her party could enter, and then completely moved her body to the side.
‘I thought it was just a tent, but it’s definitely not that kind of thing, is it? If it’s this size, I think it’s safe to call it a small village.’
The princess was genuinely surprised by the size of the tent that was immediately visible to her eyes. She was surprised by the pure white cloth covering the sky, but its size was truly unbelievable.
“The Great Plains is an open place in all directions, so you used this tent to hide?”
“As expected, the princess from Holympia would be a good fit. It’s just as I thought. Everyone living in the Great Plains uses this tent.”
“It seems like a fairly complicated magic.”
Sabbath shrugged her shoulders.
“It’s an incredibly complicated and difficult spell. So it looks like we can fix this tent, but we can’t recreate it.”
“Is it still okay? I can’t make it again, and it’s not like someone gave it to me as a gift.”
“What is it? Did you read that it was a book introducing the Great Plains? That’s correct. They say someone gave it to me as a gift a long time ago.”
As soon as the princess heard those words, she thought of Ceres’ face.
‘I guess I’ll have to ask later.’
Despite her disbelief, the princess was guided to another tent made of gold and deeply engraved, where it seemed like the ‘temptress Tsuyuya’ was staying.
“My lord. General Sabas has brought a distinguished guest.”
A small voice was heard from inside at the words of the man guarding the entrance.
“I guess we can go inside. I’ll tell you just in case.”
Sabas carefully lowered her face and grabbed the princess’s shoulders.
“What if…”
“Don’t worry.”
After nodding their heads and confirming the story they had previously told once more, they entered the ornate tent with the two bodyguards who followed them.
“Ugh!”
The princess, who went inside after opening the gold-engraved cloth, was extremely embarrassed from the beginning.
‘It’s so sticky and sweet that it feels hard to even breathe!’
Is it to hide the scent of demons? The inside was filled with such a strong scent that Sabbath instantly coughed.
Strangely, even pure white smoke was rising, making it somewhat difficult to see what the inside of the tent looked like.
“Oh, my God. There is a day when the general comes to visit me from the tower that reaches the moon. That girl, Tsuyu, I am so grateful that I don’t know what to do.”
“Cough, Tsuyu. I just came here because a customer from Holympia wanted to see you.”
“Kyahaha. Then that’s right. Moon, Moon, dear Moon. You, who have to pray while looking at the moon, can’t just come to the Great Plains, right?”
The princess walked with difficulty to the place where she heard a rather blatantly sarcastic voice, and was finally able to meet the woman called ‘the fairy.’
She was wearing exotic, shiny purple clothes. The hem and sleeves of her skirt were so long that it was difficult to see the exact shape of her arms and legs.
I could tell that she was wearing a dress of some kind, and in the hand of the temptress wearing red makeup was a cigarette that felt strangely different from the one that Amelia was smoking.
“Whew. So, for what reason did you come to visit this fairy from so far away Holympia?”
To the left and right of Tsuyuya, who was letting out her snort, there were countless people who could be said to be naked. She was filled with people who looked ‘beautiful’, both women and men.
The way she gathered everything together without even distinguishing between her east and west felt like a strange display of her own power.
“Did you say Tsuyuya?”
However, her opponent was a princess who met numerous nobles for 20 years at the imperial palace in Holimpia.
The princess fanned herself with her hand as if not caring about her scent, which was difficult for her to breathe, and walked step by step toward her enchantress.
“I am Venus Holympia, from Holympia. To explain a little more for you who live in the east, I am a woman who has recently been called the Crown Princess.”
“Hoo…”
Tsuyuya looked at the princess walking towards her, not the least bit embarrassed by her created environment, and nodded her head.
“If we say the crown princess, she will soon become the emperor. How did such a precious person, who had not been here for a thousand years, come to a land where a vulgar, cruel, and unscrupulous woman called a witch lives?”
Is she being sarcastic or is she trying to understand the princess’s feelings?
Tsuyuya looked relaxed and put her cigarette pipe in her mouth, smiling happily and sucking deeply.
“The tower that reached the moon. I came here to find Princess Kaguya, who lives there.”
“Oh my, my dear, our princess lives in a tower, not treading on the dirty dirt of the Great Plains?”
“Sorceress Tsuyu. Aren’t you a demon?”
The pounding that tightens her chest.
There was no smell of demons.
But the princess had instincts. The princess thought with such certainty that it could be called a sixth sense, to put it in the worst way, that the temptress Tsuyuya was a demon.
“Kyahaha. As expected, the person from the west is fascinating.”
Tsuyuya, who snorted happily, slowly dropped the cigarette from her mouth and smiled as she looked at the princess.
“I’ll tell you the answer. The Crown Princess will get better.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsuyuya’s black hair instantly turned light blue. Her white powdered face turned as pale as her corpse, and menacing horns suddenly appeared on her head.
“Ugh…! Of course, it’s Tsuyu! You bitch!”
Sabas gritted his teeth and put his hand on the long knife at his waist, but the princess stopped him.
There was a reason why she revealed herself as a demon so leisurely.
“Can I continue to call you Tsuyuya?”
“Oh, oh, as expected, you don’t seem the least bit surprised by this? Feel free to call me.”
“Okay, then where on earth is the real Princess Kaguya?”
At the princess’s words, Tsuyuya smiled and opened her mouth.
“The Crown Princess, Nauri. I have no obligation to tell you that, do I?”
