A man seated on the queen’s throne, looks at the gathered women. He appeared to be around 30 years old. His unkempt hair and stubble make him look like a typical sand bandit, but honestly, he doesn’t look very competent or strong enough to lead them together.
“Is that man the ringleader?”
“Obviously not. But to sit with such a filthy body on the throne that has been used by successive Queens, and even worse, to oppress my people….. He deserves to die a thousand deaths!”
Furious, Eleonore sprinted across the hall and jumped on the man.
“Eh? Uo-ooooh!”
When the man noticed Eleonore, he screamed and nearly fell off the throne. But just in time, he managed to stay there, which ultimately saved his life.
Eleonore, who didn’t want the man’s blood on the throne, stopped her sword at the last minute.
“Y-y-you’re…. Queen!? How come you’re here!?”
“Shut up and get out of that chair. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”
“Ha, hahii!”
Seeming to believe that he saved his life because of the throne, the man raised his hands and hurriedly walked away from the throne.
“Lie face down where you are.”
“G-got it. P-please don’t kill me……”
Eleonore seemed to calm down a little. Instead of trying to slash him off on the spot, she just stomped on the man’s head as hard as she could.
“Bubueeh……”
“Answer my question. If you lie or evade the question, I’ll kill you.”
By the way, the other sand bandits in the Queen’s audience room have already been subdued by the female soldiers.
“The soldiers saved us……!”
“““Thank you so much!”””
The women who had been gathered, breathed a sigh of relief. They were all beautiful, and when I looked closely, they all had plump breasts.
(Hoho~, the sand bandits have some good taste huh.)
『Master, why don’t you have your head stomped on too? 』
While I was having such an exchange with my beloved staff, Eleonore was questioning the man.
“Where’s your leader? The man named Kaim?”
“I-if you’re looking for Boss, he is not in the palace right now!”
Eleonore stabbed the tip of her sword into the man’s right shoulder.
“Gyaaaaa!?”
“I’m asking where he is at! Give me a direct answer!”
“B-boss is in the ruins! He took control of this place and immediately left with his executives! I was put in charge of this place instead!”
“Whaat!?”
Eleonore’s complexion changed upon hearing the man’s reply.
“Ruins?”
“……It’s the tomb of the first queen I mentioned earlier. You saw that huge structure on the other side of the lake, didn’t you? That’s it.”
“Speaking of that….”
It is a structure in the shape of a square pyramid, and when viewed from the ground, it probably has a beautiful triangular shape. It seemed to be a larger building than this Royal Palace too. Apparently, it is an ancient tomb where the founder of this country sleeps.
“What’s his purpose going there!?”
“O-oooouch! I-, I don’t know! I have no idea on what the Boss is thinking!”
The man shouts with tears in his eyes as Eleonore asks angrily.
“Hmm, aren’t they after the treasure?”
“……There is nothing that looks like a treasure in that ruins. The first queen didn’t like that sort of thing after all.”
The reason why the bandits were completely undisciplined, making it easier for us to regain the center of the Royal Palace was probably because their Boss and his executives had gone into the ruins.
They may have let their guard down, but there must have been a good reason why they would take such a risk and invade the ruins after having already taken control of this country.
“Then…… what for?”
“Don’t tell me…. Is that guy after the forbidden weapon!?”
“Forbidden weapon?”
“It’s a cursed weapon that only the First Queen was able to use. It’s said to be sealed somewhere in the ruins because it’s so dangerous…… Damn Kaim!”
Enraged, Eleonore put strength into her feet.
Suddenly, the man who was still being trampled under her feet screamed.
“Ahhhhh…..h-head, my head!!!! Giyaaaaaah!”
