Chapter 404
Sheena brushed my hair a bit and tied it up so that it would fit properly in this village. She plucked a bit of hair on the right side, braided it and wrapped it with a white ribbon with red embroidery.
“It looks great on you!”
Sheena looked at me happily. I bowed politely and said, “Thank you”.
“…Just in time, Kushana is on her way here.”
How did she know? Was it because they were twins?
I suppressed the urge to exclaim and walked with Sheena toward the door, trying to keep my composure.
Kushana had told me that the people in the village would hate me because I was a stranger, but… Sheena had accepted me so easily.
Maybe it was because it was her sister and the Queen’s decision after all.
I followed Sheena outside. The view spread out before me was so beautiful that it took my breath away.
The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless sky, and lush green vegetation was spreading out beneath it. There were several wooden houses, probably traditional houses of this tribe, with children running around barefoot.
It looked like a nomadic tribe, but I could see that they had been living in this place for a long time.
I felt as if I was in a completely different country. The air was clean and comfortable.
What a beautiful place. I didn’t know there was such a place in that forest.
“It’s a very nice place.”
Sheena nodded happily at my words.
While I was entranced by the view, a dignified woman walked in front of me. People quickly opened the way for her to walk and bowed their heads in respect.
…Eh, what, why was she like a Cool Guy?
I gazed at her with wide eyes and froze at how cool Kushana looked.
Her light-brown hair was about waist length and was braided into an all back braid.
I didn’t notice it when we were fighting before because she had it tied up in a bun, but her hair was surprisingly long. The long, slender gold earrings in her ears swayed with her movements .
Her ripped abs were visible through the gap between her clothes. Even though she was a woman, she was not wearing a dress, but pants like men. Perhaps because she was a queen, her costume was quite luxurious compared to the others. Her clothes not only had red embroidery, but also gold embroidery.
I fell in love with Kushana’s figure.
When I first saw her, I thought she was a dangerous big man wearing a mask and wielding a big scythe…
Sheena bowed her head lightly at the same time Kushana stood in front of me. I also bowed my head hastily as I followed Sheena’s movements.
“How are you feeling?”
With Kushana’s husky voice, both Sheena and I looked up.
“I’ve recovered both my strength and magic.”
“Well, that’s good to hear. About the divine flower Shati, I had Kai deliver it to the castle before you woke up.”
Speaking of which, when I changed, the lumps of Maddie were no longer on my dress.
“…Wait, who’s Kai?”
“He’s my hawk. Don’t worry, he’ll get it to them faster and more smoothly than you guys would have gotten it out of these woods and back to the castle.”
Oh, wouldn’t that be a little too cool? It would ruin my position…
Before I could ask if that was alright, Kushana said.
“In exchange, I have something that I want you guys to do.”
