“Ever since we met, you’ve been like this! Acting weak and naive, wasting away and acting so stupid!”
“Br, Brenda…”
“You’re really useless! You should have seduced that desert general with your body instead of making such naive comments. How pathetic!”
“I’m truly sorry, Brenda.”
“Great! Really great! This useless girl! It was for whom that I stayed here! Without that gold, are we supposed to sit on the streets of Roan?”
In her fury, Brenda pushed away Latifa who kept apologizing.
“You didn’t get even a penny? Really?”
“The supplies and kindness we’ve received so far are enough, Brenda. We are just like any other imperial citizens now.”
“No! We’re different!”
Latifa couldn’t face Brenda, who kept lashing out regardless of her attempts to reason.
Even though they’d been cheated, the contract had nothing to do with Brenda originally.
Even now, Brenda volunteered to care for an injured Latifa, staying behind. Latifa hadn’t asked her to.
Had Brenda ever properly cared for her when she was hurt?
‘If it weren’t for the medicine General Hades provided, my injuries would have worsened.’
Her disappointment in Brenda grew. She’d tried her best for Brenda, but Brenda didn’t appreciate it and lashed out at her. She couldn’t take it anymore.
“I’m upset about the gold too. But Brenda, I don’t think you have a reason to be this angry with me.”
Finally, holding back her anger, Latifa tried to leave the tent.
“Wait, Lati!”
Suddenly, Brenda’s strong hand grabbed Latifa’s long hair.
“Aagh!”
“You’re not lying to avoid sharing the gold bars with me, are you? Isn’t that the case? How can you be so calm otherwise?!”
“Brenda! No! Why would I? Ouch! Let go! It hurts!”
“Give me my gold! Hand it over, you brazen girl!”
It felt as if the skin on her head was being torn off by Brenda’s forceful grip.
Already weakened, she was swayed by Brenda’s pull. She lost her balance due to Brenda, but still, Brenda shook Latifa Glaesia by her hair, demanding the gold.
‘Why…’
Even the desert soldiers, seeing Latifa Glaesia’s swollen eyes, showed concern. Latifa Glaesia could not comprehend how a fellow countrywoman could do this to her.
“Ugh! Brenda…”
The pain on her head was immense, but Brenda’s rough actions hurt even more. Disgust at Brenda’s twisted greed began to suffocate Latifa Glaesia.
In the end, she closed her eyes in resignation.
[Bang!]“Argh!”
With a loud noise, Brenda’s hand that had been holding her hair was suddenly pulled away.
‘What, what is this?’
Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Brenda rolling on the ground, and above her, Hades Caleb Ignite pointing a sword at her.
“Ha, General Hades…?”
With an emotionless cold voice, Hades looked down at Latifa Glaesia and said,
“You now see what happens when you mistreat your subordinates.”
His eyes, sharp like the blade he held, flickered menacingly at Brenda. Overcome with terror, Brenda on the ground began to plead.
“Hi… Please, spare me! La, Latifa. Quickly, tell him something in Desert language!”
“Ha, Hades[Bang].”
“Shush.”
Before she could argue, Hades whispered ‘shush’. The softly muttered sound carried such an imposing aura that Latifa Glaesia dared not utter another word.
Slowly, with the sword still in hand, Hades approached Brenda. He then pointed the tip of the sword right in front of Brenda’s nose.
“This woman neglected her duties, lusted after what her superior had, and took it.”
“He, heeek!”
Even if Brenda didn’t understand Hades’ desert language, the intense aura and posture he radiated made her go pale with fear.
“She harms those she should serve, like a pocket full of holes, never knowing when to close. What should be done with her?”
“Please, mercy…!”
“There’s no fate more fitting for her sins than death.”
For a moment, the cruel aspect of the general she had momentarily forgotten resurfaced. Before Latifa Glaesia could interject, Hades raised his arm and swung the sword downwards.
[Swish!]“Heuk!”
“Aaah!”
The sword narrowly missed Brenda’s head and lodged itself in the ground. Brenda convulsed as if struck by lightning, then fainted.
“Ah… That was close.”
Relieved that Brenda wasn’t killed, she was lost in thought when Hades approached her.
He gently brushed her silver bangs, perhaps checking for any injuries.
Though not hurt, the memory of his recent ruthlessness made her instinctively step back from his touch.
The darkskinned hand of Hades, which had been examining her hair, stopped in midair.
“I appreciate your help, but I’m okay now.”
“It’s because of the gold bars, isn’t it?”
His cold remark made her bow her head in shame.
Showing such a side of herself was the worst.
Velia had always hesitated about Brenda’s greedy actions because they were from the same empire, but she felt so ashamed to see such a blatantly ugly scene now.
Especially in front of that treacherous mad dog she least wanted to meet.
‘I proudly refused the gold bar with all my dignity…’
With the rush of shame, she closed her eyes tightly and fiddled with her arm when she suddenly heard Hades’ voice, which sounded soft and warm for the first time.
[It seems you’re not hurt, that’s fortunate.]And then, in his usual mocking tone that was always unpleasant.
“You didn’t take my advice, and look at you now.”
“……?!”
Surprised by the contrasting voices, she raised her head. What she saw was something she had never seen before.
‘Isn’t that… a spirit?’
The silver spirit, which usually appeared only when communicating with animals, was faintly swaying from the tip of Hades’ hair.
