Let’s Create a Sand Kingdom With Sand Magic – Chapter 17

End of 1st arc.

Intermission Part 2

„Anyway, you’re just a patsy, you’ve small body and you’ve got flat breasts, but you have a pretty face, so you’ll be a hit with lovers of that sort of thing. Rejoice, Morgia. I’ve recommended Wazir for you, and he’s the perfect match for you. A kind and gentle knight who takes a young child as his slave every time he wins a battle. He will take good care of you. I’m sure Morgia – he will cherish you like a doll for the rest of your life. Gyahahahahahahaha!“ (TN: patsy – errand boy (or girl in this case) – a person who is easily taken advantage of)

He stuck out his finger and laughed vulgarly. Morgia’s shoulders shook. She felt like she was going to explode with anger and frustration.

„Haha, you look frustrated, Morgia. But it’s you who’s at fault, Morgia. That’s what you get for being so obssessed with that piece of trash and talking back to people who banished him.“

When Morgia heard that Horus had been banished, she argued with her brothers, who had decided to throw him out in the desert.

If she would to believe what this man says, that means that you are not allowed to act angry with your brother, and because she did, they sanctioned her like this.

„If you’ve learned your lesson, don’t complain about what the country does, and don’t talk back to your kind-hearted and talented brothers like me, just carry your luggage quietly and continue to live. While being toyed with by that perverted general hahahaha.“

He poked his tongue out and looked as if he wanted to say „Serves you right!“ (TN: zamamiro is sentenance with „“ and it can also mean „See what you get“)

He banished Horus, the brother she loves, and this is how he treats Morgia. In addition, to varying degrees, the thoughts of all brothers except Horus are generally like this.

She really hates this. Morgia couldn’t wait to get out of here.

„Hmm, I know what you’re thinking. You want to get out of here and go to that piece of trash, don’t you? You’re an idiot. How can such a weak and defective person survive in that harsh desert, known as the desert of death?“

With an ugly smile on his face, Shudell continued.

„You really should stop dreaming, you idiot! And you’re no different. This castle is also under barrier. It’s impossible for you to get out of the castle with spatial magic no matter how hard you try. Of course, it’s even more impossible if you don’t rely on magic! You have your uses, unlike your foolish brother. At worst, you can be used as a bird in birdcage and die while being toyed with by that perverted general, you idiot! Gyahahahahahahah!“

And with a stupid laugh, Shudell left Morgia.

That night, Morgia walked out of her room onto the balcony and looked at the sky.

„The moon is beautiful…“

She muttered to herself as she looked at the full moon. She closed her eyes and made a decision.

„I’m sick of this castle and this country. I’m going to get out of here. Wait for me, oni-sama…..“

She looked at the forest below her. Morgia’s room is located on top of the castle’s tower. Of course, the tower has a mighty barrier, and Morgia’s spatial magic can not be used inside the castle.

But outside the castle, it was different. In other words, outside the balcony and then –  Morgia jumped off the balcony’s parapet. (TN: parapet – a low protective wall along the edge of a balcony.)

Naturally, she would fall if she continued like this, but there are no barriers outside of the castle, and Morgia took advantage of that. Morgia’s spatial magic can also be used for movement. (TN: let me know if you think movement should be teleportation)

However, with the current Morgia, even if she were to use it for movement, the distance would be at most ten meters. Moreover, even if she moved herself using spatial magic, inertia would remain.

In other words, even if she uses spatial magic to cushion fall, the impact of the fall cannot be suppressed. That’s why her brother was so confident that Morgia would not be able to get out of here.

But that was part of Morgia’s calculation. Then she firmly identifies her target and moves with spatial magic. Twice, three times, the inertia did not disappear.

But it didn’t matter. From there, Morgia used spatial magic to move to the place where the density of the trees was the highest. And then she meekly fell. The castle was very high up, so it was a gamble.

Morgia was thrown outside and fell on the branches to cushion her fall, breaking them one after another.

Then her body fell through the greenery to the ground.

„Ouch! But it’s okay—„

She looked up at the sky, moved her body, and confirmed that she was safe. It would be a lie to say that there was not pain at all, but it was bearable enough.

„I’ve been able to escape from the castle, and now I can finally go to the desert where my brother is waiting for me.“

Morgia’s eyes lit up. However, there are some problems. First of all, she has no money. The empire had never given Morgia any money at her disposal. If she wanted to get out of castle, it’s no use if she doesn’t have any silver or gold, but Morgia had a better idea.

It was true that she didn’t have any direct money. But even so, Morgia is a member of the royal family. The clothes and accesories she wears are all of high quality and are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and if she sells them, she will have enough money to travel.

In any case, there was no point in wearing such nice-looking clothes. More than anything, it makes you stand out. She’ll have to sell them on the way and change into something common people would wear.

„Anyway, I have to get away from here as quickly as possible.“

It’s hard to sell and shop around the imperial capital. A town where you can’t be traced would be preferable. Fortunately, Morgia’s destination is the desert to the east of here, where her brother Horus was banished.

It is a huge desert that stretches across the central part of the continent, and it is said that the continent is divided into east, west, north and south with this desert as its center. It is said that some people once tried to cultivate this desert, but the environment was so harsh that no one was able to do so.

It’s a legend, but it is said that there are many riches lying in this desert, and if they were to be succesfully exploited, the profits would be enormous. There are even stories that people have found places filled with gold. However, the desert is not only a harsh environment, it is also home to many terrifying demons and magical beasts.

It was even said that if you tried to bring back the gold that I mentioned earlier, monster would appear and put you on trial, and if you couldn’t overcome it, they would eat you.

There are many other legends about the desert, such as story of a giant desert predator, the worm, the desert dragon, and the impregnable labyrinth called the Pyramid. Her brother Horus was banished to such a land.

But for some reason, Morgia can’t stop thinking about it. She wonders if Horus, who can use Sand magic, might be able to accomplish feats in the desert that have never been accomplished before.

In any case, the towns near the desert were not highly regarded by the empire because they were considered remote, which was a blessing in disguise for Morgia. Anyway, she headed east. There is a possibility that when they notice that Morgia escaped, they might send someone after her, but it won’t be easy to find her once she enters the desert.

However, it was the same for Morgia, she won’t be able to easily find her brother also, but she still wants to go to the desert and see her beloved brother Horus.

With spatial movement, Morgia repeated the high-speed movement of disappearing and reappearing, and with a determined look on her face, she headed east—
