“….”

Crunchy.

After being confined to the royal palace.

Limon had a headache.

Couldn’t think of a way to find the turkey swan from the eyes of the slaves who now risked their lives to prevent him from going out?

Of course, that was also the reason.

However, the biggest cause of trouble for Limon right now was something else.

For a moment, I tried to focus only on the sculpture.

After putting down the carving knife with a sigh, he looked back and opened his mouth.

“Pharaoh, what are you doing here?”

A chair a little further back.

There, a beauty in military uniform was sitting cross-legged and being waited on by slaves.

Hasneti answered in a muffled voice as she dusted the ashtray the slave was holding.

“Does I care?”

“Since you’re staring at me without saying anything, of course I’m concerned.”

Limon said curtly.

Of course, he wasn’t the kind of person who usually cared about other people’s eyes.

But that also depends on your gaze.

There was no way I wouldn’t be bothered by Hasneti, who came to visit at any time and watched coldly without blinking an eye.

It was more so because he had superhuman senses, and he said,

“So.”

Hasneti did not raise an eyebrow.

I just asked quietly in a voice full of coercion that dared not allow a counterargument.

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry.”

“…”

Of course, Limon, who is shameless enough for his age, just chewed up the intimidation.

I guess I didn’t like that answer.

Seeing Hasneti wriggling between his brows, Limon slightly lowered his voice.

“I am the Pharaoh’s concubine, not a prisoner, right? Then, at least on the surface, would you like me to treat you at least as a concubine?”

“It must have been you who wanted to be treated as a sculptor rather than a concubine.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. Isn’t there any reason for the pharaoh to directly watch the sculptor’s work?”

“There is no reason not to.”

“That’s…”

“Don’t forget. I am Pharaoh.”

In Egypt, one’s word is law, and it is illegal to block one’s actions.

So the reason doesn’t matter.

never needed it

Limon couldn’t help but cry out in pain as he watched Hasneti swear in a muffled voice and smoke a cigarette again.

I don’t know if it’s anywhere else.

In this place, in the middle of Egypt and the royal palace, her words were a perfect argument.

It was because the existence of the Red Dragon Princess was to turn it into a just theory by force.

In the end, Limon had no choice but to sigh and pick up the carving knife again.

‘I didn’t expect that I would be so suspicious that I went to see birds just once.’

It’s absurd to be locked up in a royal palace.

Hasneti set out to spy on herself.

At this point, I felt more comfortable being locked up in a dungeon with shackles on.

‘Seeing that they weren’t even detained, it seems like they’re just staying at the stage of suspicion… but it’s also difficult.’

While Limon thought about countermeasures with his head, he continued to sculpt with his hands without disturbing an inch.

It was a skill that was possible because of the parallel thinking ability obtained through the power of the stars.

It was only a problem that no tricks came out to find the seven-colored bird, even if he rolled his head like that.

When Limon clicks his tongue inwardly, feeling regretful that he does not have a more reliable bride than anyone else when it comes to using his hair.

Hasneti suddenly opened her mouth.

“When did you learn that?”

“huh? Oh, if it’s a piece, it’s not very old.”

“You’re good at that.”

“The teacher was good.”

“is it.”

One more time to nod.

Hasneti, who was silent again, put out the cigarette he had smoked in the ashtray the slave was holding.

Then he asked in a muffled voice.

“Are you happy?”

“If it means that sculpting is fun, well? I learned this because I happened to need it.”

The reason Limon started sculpting was only to unlock the seal of the Seven Arcs carving knife.

It wasn’t because he was deeply impressed with sculpting or because he was interested in it.

Of course, when I completed a good piece, I felt a sense of satisfaction.

But if you ask me if I enjoy sculpture purely?

“It’s not that I don’t particularly hate it, but it’s interesting to some extent, but if the sculpture itself is good… To be honest, I’m not sure yet?”

Limon scratched his cheek.

Of course, Herman, who risked his life on sculpting.

Even compared to those who learned it as a hobby, it was because he did not enjoy sculpting that much.

If I had to compare it, I felt like I was being asked if I liked the job because I was talented at the part-time job I started by chance and became better than others.

“Then why do you sculpt?”

That was why Limon was confused by Hasneti’s question.

“I forgot, but this piece is being made as a tribute to the Pharaoh after all?”

“So I am asking.”

“Is that so?”

“The reason why you tried to stop the war by making a piece you didn’t even like and giving it to me as a tribute.”

“Do you really need a reason to stop innocent blood from flowing?”

At the unexpected question, Limon tilted his head.

However, Hasneti’s eyebrows wriggled as if he couldn’t understand the answer.

Then, looking at him with blood-red eyes, he asked.

“What if it’s innocent blood?”

“what?”

“You mean you wouldn’t have stopped it?”

“…I don’t think there’s any reason to call it innocent blood unless there’s a reason to stop it on purpose, right?”

why are you asking this

Limon answered doubtfully.

“is it.”

As if I knew it now.

Hasneti nodded.

And the squeak said

“That’s it.”

“…it’s fortunate that it happened, but I wish I knew a little more about what happened.”

“….”

‘Is this something I have no intention of telling you?’

When Limon frowned as he watched her silently with his arms crossed.

Hasneti asked again.

“But why not a bird?”

Would you say it is out of the blue?

Puzzled by the sudden out-of-context question, Limon narrowed his eyes as he realized that her gaze was on the wood he was carving.

“You’ve heard that I want to give a gift to the Pharaoh?”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry, but I give up the gift. Because the Pharaoh imprisoned me here, it is now difficult for birds to sculpt even if they want to.”

“…you don’t necessarily need a model for a sculpture.”

“That’s when the pieces are good.”

It took a while for him to respond calmly to Hasneti’s point.

Limon’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“If you want a piece of sperm, why don’t you give me permission to enter the cage? Then at least the number of birds there is a nice piece…”

“That is unacceptable.”

“…Why don’t you at least listen to the story?”

“It’s the same no matter what you hear.”

“No, no… Pharaoh? Hey Pharaoh!”

It’s like I don’t want to hear any more of that.

As soon as he got up from his seat and spread his arms around, he was shocked to see Hasneti’s empty seat.

Limon sighed.

‘That’s wrong.’

As he had gone through all the battles before and after, it was rare for him to have been defeated by words unless it was an enemy as strong as Li Qingyu.

However, against Hasneti, even as Limon, he had to suffer from headaches.

He only asks what he’s curious about.

Other than that, keep silent.

Even if I tried to convince him, there was no way.

‘I can’t help it now that it’s like this.’

In the end, Limon somehow persuaded Hasneti to give up his plan to find the turkey.

And looking at the other side of the sky where the cage would be, I muttered in my heart.

‘I can’t help but hope that Nakyung will somehow find the turkey.’

* * *

Beep!

‘Ghmm I really like this team leader!’

A blue bird locked in a cage.

Yuna-kyung jumped up and down and screamed as if she was letting out her accumulated resentment.

But that’s for a while.

In the end, Yuna-gyeong, tired of screaming for no reason, sighed as she flopped down on the floor of the cage.

‘I had to decline when the princess sister said she would send me to Africa…’

I should have noticed that that smiley face was a danger signal.

The rest I’m already used to.

And it was a mistake to willingly accept the dispatch to Africa because it was boring to stay in a hotel and help Sir’s magic research.

But what can I do?

What came now and could not go back.

In the end, Yuna-kyung rolled on the floor of the cage.

‘If I wait, the team leader will do something for me.’

From the days of PAB until now, Limon has easily solved any problem by himself.

So even if one baby bird like you was lost in a cage, Limon would take care of everything in the end.

Yuna-kyung had no doubts.

…Though I was a bit uneasy when I thought of Limon being dragged away as if he were being kidnapped by Hasneti.

‘I’m going to have a big day.’

It was already difficult to help Sir with his research, and he had his chlorinated items confiscated before leaving, so there was nothing else he could do.

At this point, I thought I was just out on vacation and I was going to play.

It was when Yuna-gyeong, upset at the disappearance of Limon, whom she had barely met, was rolling around in the cage.

rattle.

Suddenly the cage shook.

For a while, I was taken aback by the unexpected shaking.

Realizing that the cage had been lifted by someone and being moved, Yuna-kyung immediately blinked her eyes.

‘Is the team leader here again?’

Squeak.

However, after the cloth covering the cage was peeled off.

Yuna-kyung hardened.

It was because, instead of the expected blonde tanned boy, a beauty with blazing red hair was staring at the cage she was holding.

“Is this all?”

“Your new Horus candidates are all eight here.”

“Then let’s start sorting out.”

A red-haired beauty looking at a cage with eight birds, including Yuna-kyung.

Hasneti spit out the cigarette he was holding in his mouth.

And he said in a muffled voice.

“[Come.]”

Beep?

That moment.

Yuna-kyung opened her eyes wide.

The moment I heard Hasneti’s words.

It’s because the obsession that I have to follow the words unconditionally made me take a step without knowing it.

‘Is this… telepathic?’

Yuna-kyung was surprised.

Even though she’s a delicate baby bird now, she was a famous high-level player before she was alive.

It was so amazing to be able to have such an impact with just one word.

Still, Yuna-kyung was on the good side.

Three of the birds in the other cage went mad and went mad, and the other three were clinging to the cage and fidgeting.

Only one bird with uniquely colorful feathers did not budge and proudly kept its pride.

“Is there anything worth writing about?”

“But you don’t know, so why don’t you watch a few more candidates? Because you don’t know what happens next.”

“is it.”

Nadia carefully advises.

Upon hearing that, Hasneti nodded and then lightly snapped her fingers.

Roaring!

Yuna-kyung was frightened.

It was because four of the eight cages lined up in front of the two of them were suddenly engulfed in flames, and the birds inside were roasted whole.

Of course, the three of them ran wild.

Until one that was arrogant.

Four birds were reduced to ashes without a single feather left, and only half remained.

There were only three birds, including Yuna-gyeong, who were restless around the iron cage.

“Let the training take care of itself.”

“Leave your work behind me.”

It’s like he’s not even interested.

While Hasneti turned her back and left, Nadia sighed as she bowed to see her off.

“Ah… how much money do these all cost?”

It seems really regrettable.

It was a while to lament at the almost melting bird cage and the ashes remaining inside it.

Nadia suddenly turned her head.

“Everyone, please work hard and receive training.”

The girl, dressed in a military uniform that was loose for her size, clenched her fists as if to cheer for the remaining four birds.

And he said with a bright smile.

“Because anyone who hasn’t become Horus 20 can become like that.”

beep beep?

Nakyung Yun 0 years old.

It was the moment when I took part in the survival competition where I risked my life even before my downy hair was gone.
