Chapter 48 - Dreaming of Goodbyes 【POV: Naam Sphinx 】 Lord Dyngir has headed to Fort Giza, to drive the “Terror Armies” out of the western province. Since the day of his departure, I have been anxious to the point of barely eating anything. “Naam, you have to eat something.” Mist was sitting on the bed with me, looking worried at me. We were in my room in the Sphinx residence. Ever since Lord Dyngir left, I started shutting myself inside it again, so the maid would bring my meals here. I had…

Chapter 55 - The Crowning Ceremony and the Two Red Boxes “We shall now begin the Queen’s coronation ceremony!” The head cleric announced solemnly, the bells attached to her wand ringing in response. We were currently deep inside the shrine, in the “Hall of Queens”, a room only high clerics were allowed to enter. The high clerics, who gathered in the room when I entered, were, for the most part, those who had served the shrine the longest, and thus occupied the top positions in the hierarchy.…

Chapter 52 - Kingdom of Sands and Rivers 【POV: ???】 “Rise and shine, it’s morning already!” “Hnn…” Someone opened the curtains, letting a dazzling stream of sunlight in the room. I pulled the sheets over my head, attempting to hide from the mercilessly spreading brightness. Someone’s hand, however, wrested the sheets from my grasp, leaving me defenseless in front of the daylight. “Aww…let me sleep just a little more…” “No can do! Today there’s the prayer at the shrine, did you…

Chapter 49 - Golden Trump Card Lord class creatures were basically the officers of the “Terror Armies”; so after I took down the Valon Sphinx mummy, the defenses of Fort Giza crumbled. Before the loss of their leader, the undead creatures more or less acted as if they were really trying to defend the fortress; afterwards, they simply rushed towards the nearest human in sight, like running water shooting out of a ruptured dam. Some creatures even jumped down from the fortress walls, crashing into the…

Chapter 56 - A Heart Devoured “NOOOOO!!! MILLIA!! TEP!! Why!? Why did you do this!?” I had just sworn that I would become Queen to protect them. So, why did this happen to them? It was…unbelievable. “Hohoho…I am glad to see that you are satisfied with the offerings, Your Majesty.” “What are you saying!? Why did you do this to them…!?” Furious, I yelled at the head cleric — at the old woman responsible for the murder of the two people dearest to me. I tried to stand up from the throne…

Chapter 53 - Queen of Prophecy In the heart of the Kingdom of Jaswat, a location that offered a view of the entire kingdom — Amstrahotep and I were standing in front of the shrine we served. The triangular building, created by piling countless stones, stood guard over the kingdom ever since the distant past. In front of this symbol, said to be given to us by God, a large crowd of people had gathered. Most of them were soldiers and clerics, but there were also regular people, all here because of the…

Chapter 50 - Necropolis Every time I kicked the sand, a cloud of dust swelled up. I was racing through the desert, as if chased by a sandstorm. Enveloped in the golden light emanated by my bracelet, I advanced straight west. “Haha…I might get addicted to this speed!” The scenery flew past me: I felt as if I had become a living arrow, or a bolt of lightning. Shape of Indra, the secret technique of Herakles, boosted my physical abilities to the limit, easily surpassing the speed that using Herakles on…

Chapter 54 - Midnight Visitor “I promised sis I’d be home soon, today…” Half a day had passed since the head cleric’s declaration. Before I could even wrap my mind around what was happening, I was dragged deep inside the shrine, and was locked in a large, luxurious room. The floor was covered with an expensive-looking carpet, so gorgeous that I was almost scared of walking; the furniture and objects in the room were decorated with gems, there were gold and silver statues everywhere. There were…
