The woman looked at me. It was so cold that my spine shuddered. Looks like I am not viewed by her so amicably. Well, considering what I have heard, it should be a normal thing.
Disregarding everyone's greetings, she make the way and came in front of me. With keeping her cold look.
"Looks like you are doing well. I have heard that you got injured by collusion from your own man, Your Highness. How pathetic!"
When she said that I smiled at her.
"What's there to smile, Your Highness?"
"If heroine doesn't get hurt, then how could the hero will come to save her? Oh sorry, I guess I made the mistake on the gender part."
I replied to her by making a cool face.
"Looks like, your tongue got sharp than your strength from what I saw last time from you."
She replied.
"Oh, I am honored to meet your expectation, my queen."
I replied her. In the back, I saw Toru was sweating after seeing our exchange.
"We need to prepare for the war. Get your guts together, Your Highness."
I don't know how old she is, however, I guess her age is around mine.
"I am always ready."
I told her.
"To get your ass kicked?"
She turned around after saying that. I can't help but smile at her.
Toru run toward me and said,
"Your Highness, what happened to you? Are you alright?"
He was asking me with a dead serious worried face.
"Yes, I am fine. I am totally fine, na?"
"No, I mean, even if you were given seven life, you would have never talked to her like that in the recent past."
He said that with a whisper while looking at her.
"What? A man should talk to a woman with a straight back."
I told him while straightening my back.
"I don't know what happened to her mood. If it was some other time she may kill you, even if she doesn't, she would have crippled you. For god's sake don't talk to her like that. I don't know when her mood gets worse and try to kill you."
He is trying his best to make me understand her. I hug his shoulder with my arm.
"Don't worry Toru, my man, I got this."
"No, you shouldn't, it's bad for my heart. Her Majesty will kill me if something happened to you."
Looks like Queen is still Loki's side.
[King has two wives. Your mother is the queen who has only you as a child.]
"Okay, ok... I won't make things harder for you."
Toru sighed and said,
"It's good that you understand."
I went in front of her, I saw from the corner of my eyes that Toru again got tensed up.
I made my voice as serious as possible.
"So, what's our strategy?"
She looked at me. This time her cold face's intensity slightly decrease, I guess.
"In this vast ocean of the sand, we really can't apply any tricks, and not to mention your team is too low on experience. If it wasn't for your mother I wouldn't have come here."
She blatantly speaks the truth.
"I see. Yes, it's obvious that no strategy will work here. Not everyone is Shikamaru."
I mumbled.
"Shikamaru?"
"Oh, it's a man I know, he is good at strategy."
"Then you should have included him in your army."
"I wish I could."
"Well, let's not talk about the other things anymore. With how their mana is nearing it seems we will clash with them in a few minutes."
By the way, hiding under sand won't be a good strategy as in every team there will be a magic sensory specialist.
"Listen to me, everyone."
I howled to everyone,
"Oh sons and daughters of God, this is the war, this is the situation, where our life is at stake. But what can we do? That's how our fate was made by god. If we won't obey our fate, we can't protect our parents, we can't protect our siblings, we can't protect our lover, we can't protect our family, friends, and ourselves."
I point at Hizri.
"Look at her, a lone woman, who came to our aid, did she come here to help us because she is strong? No, you are wrong. She didn't come here because she is strong, she came here to protect us and protect this nation from the evil Gaias."
I told them while pointing my hand toward the sky.
"If this woman, or should I say Lady Hizri could come to save us, and could fight for us, while her life is at stake, why can't we? Let show her, and show the world, that we could also protect."
I screamed toward everyone,
"Can we protect our nation, my warriors of god?"
Everyone looked at each other. However, Toru screamed,
"Yeeeeeeeeees."
I smiled at Toru, and screamed again,
"Can we????"
This time everyone followed Toru and screamed together,
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees."
"More loudly."
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaa."
"That's the spirit."
"It's looked like, you really have changed."
Hizri commented. However, her face was still cold.
"Well, you said they lacked experience."
I looked at her.
"But, do you know those who lack experience, what they have in exchange?"
"What?"
"Ignorance."
"That's obvious. So, what?"
"Because they are ignorant, that also means bliss, their blood isn't cold like those who have experience of hundred years. They are young and has hot blood in their vain. A young tiger with spirit can achieve anything. Anything means anything."
"Is that so? Yes, in another perspective it's true because they don't know about the enemy's strength, they won't be afraid. Good thinking."
This time in her voice there was slight praise for me. I smiled at her by showing my teeth.
"Here they come."
Toru said.
We looked at the west side of us. I am hearing a noise. The noise I have heard in the movie so many times.
The army with horses.
"Everyone, get ready."
This time Hizri took the lead and went to the front. Everyone was ready in the first place, so they just took their stances and firm their mentality.
Those men with horses stopped at four to five hundred meters away from us. While we are pointing our weapon at them.
