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 ti if I had woken up later.
I looked at Nara who was in front of , smiled and said: Dont say sothing so scary. Weve lost two days already. Thank you for taking care of us the last two days, Lord Nara. Ti is of the essence for us now.
Nara smiled and responded: Yes, your majesty. Your majesty, you must pay attention to sothing. 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.
Its not just your dream alone. Its my dream too, so I wont let it end so soon.
Yeah? You sure let 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 ca 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 didnt hide his refreshing facial features. His lean and competent appearance made him seem like he was made from the sa 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 et you!
He wore a stern look and gave a big bow. Stiff like a toy-soldier, his relatively handso face now looked distorted. I smiled and patted him on his shoulder. I asked: Its alright, you dont need to be nervous. I am the prince, but Im also human, so you dont need to be so nervous. Well then, Lord Nara, are you giving this young man as a gift or sothing?
With a smile, Nara said: Of course not. Your majesty, I would not give him to you even if you wanted him. He is my childhood friend. We are very friendly with each other. If I was not the lord of the city, I might have had a few cute kids with him already.
Nara!
Tarak scolded her with a red face. Nara giggled softly. I looked at Naras eyes. She wasnt joking. The way she looked at Tarak certainly had the sa feeling as the way Nier looked at . That strong hint of love cant be false. However, she stripped down completely in front of that night. It looks like she is very determined to achieve her dream and to serve her city, to the point that she was willing to abandon her love as well.
Alright now. His majesty just said it too. Ti is everything right now. I shall not waste anymore of your ti, your majesty. Nara wore her serious expression again. She then took a parchnt from Tarak and put it in my hand. With that she said, Before you ca here, I had sent out enough teams to gather information except I did not get anything from it. This is a map I drew. I can promise it is accurate. You will not get lost in that area with this map.
I nodded and then opened the map. There were a few red areas on the map. Nara pointed and said: These are the places my people have checked. If you pass those zones, you will see marks they left behind when setting up camp. Those are zones where you can avoid the wind and are comfortable. You must seek shelter at these places when resting at night. Otherwise, a sandstorm may swallow up your entire team at any mont.
Alright, thank you for giving sothing so important.
I nodded and put it away carefully. A map is the most important item for any foreign group, especially when Im heading into an area Ive never been too with nobody there. This map is more important than anything right now. Now that I have a map, Ill be able to further narrow down the periter I have to search, which also ans that I have a greater chance of locating it.
Nara pushed Tarak over to and while smiling said: Also, there is Tarak. But I am just lending him to you. You must rember to return him to , your majesty. Tarak is a professional at living in the desert and he has searched for that sort of tal twice so you could say that he is very familiar with that area. Further, Tarak he is good at communicating with local residents and others. And as the military officer in charge of protecting , he is an expert swordsman. I therefore believe that he is the most valuable asset there.
Hes that incredible?!
I looked at Tarak astounded. I never thought the young man was so incredible. He looked around the sa age as . They sure were right when they said young people can make great heroes. But when I look at Tarak, I have an odd feeling of humiliation and jealousy. Were clearly about the sa age yet hes so accomplished at many things while I still need to depend on the people around .
You flatter , your majesty. I am but just a military officer. I shall be responsible for guiding you and keeping you safe for the coming journey. I hope you can achieve your wish and of course, Lord Naras wish.
Tarak bowed and then raised his head with a straight-face. I nodded and then responded: Alright. We shall join hands with sincerity for this journey, since this isnt just about but also Lord Nara.
That will be all then. Please do not be displeased with the minimal support I have offered. Considering the set-up of your team, do you not feel this combination is perfect?
It is. Thank you, Lord Nara. I believe that this will be a very simple job thanks to what you have provided with.
Nara nodded. She then grabbed hold of Tarak and told him: While you have said that you are tight on ti, you do have ti for to say a few words with Tarak, do you not, your majesty? If you would permit it, please allow to bid Tarak farewell.
Thats fine.
I nodded and then watched them leave my sight. Lorana looked over in their direction with curiosity, sighed and said: Those two poor them.
I nodded and said: Yeah. They clearly love each other yet cant be together. There is no one forcing them nor is there any power stopping them, but they have chosen to not be together. That sort of love is admirably but also pitiable.
Yeah, just like Elizabeth. Actually, no. Elizabeth isnt that sort of person. Elizabeth is the type who could sacrifice everything for her love. Honestly, a woman who could betray herself for her city is truly admirable but also pitiable.
I think Tarak is the pitiful one. He clearly loves her yet they bound to never be together. But even so, he has chosen to always stay by her side. I actually admire and respect him for that.
The woman he loves married herself to Karnashun City after all
