Chapter 1426: Similar to him 2 (1/2)

Semiramis looked at the young man in front of her, and somehow, felt refreshed when someone was attracted by her beauty.

Semiramis knew that she was beautiful, however, her master, Karna, Achilles, and even Shakesphere had never attracted to her beauty, and even if the four of them had to admit that she was beautiful, they had never thought to touch this poisonous woman so when she saw Haru was attracted and mesmerized by her beauty she had to admit that it was quite refreshing.

”I have to commend you for arriving at this place, boy.”

”.....”

Haru wasn't sure what to say when he was called a boy, but then again, considering the age gap between them, then it should be normal.

”Then can I ask you for a reward?”

”Oh? What is the reward that you want?”

In Semiramis's mind, she could kill this young man anytime so she didn't need to worry about anything. Haru was also at her hanging garden and at this place, she controlled everything, including space itself.

Based on the description of Atalante and Achilles, Haru was very powerful, but he was a short-range fighter, so in Semiramis's mind, she had a huge advantage over him since she could attack from afar.

Semiramis didn't know what kind of power that Haru had shown before, but she had to admit that his body was good, in terms of power and appearance too which reminded her of ”Ara the Handsome”.

In the legend, Semiramis was fascinated by Ara, the legendary King of Armenia, she even had sent a lot of gifts to him, telling him how she loved her, however, Ara had never answered her love and even returned her gifts, telling her that he rejected her.

However, Semiramis didn't give up until she felt tired and decided to attack Ara's kingdom to get him. She attacked Ara's kingdom and won. She ordered to bring Ara alive, however, Ara was killed. By then, she ordered her servant to bring Ara's corpse to her chamber then kept staring at him, stood still, transfixed, as tears of remorse ran rivers down her cheeks, even if her servants kept calling her.

It was also one of Semiramis's regrets in her life so when she looked at Haru for the first time, she wasn't sure how to react and even felt surprised since his appearance reminded her of Ara the Handsome, and even better in her mind.

Well, there was, of course, a difference, but it had been thousands of years, so in her mind, both Haru and Ara the Handsome resembled each other.

However, when Semiramis saw him directly in front of her, her mood was quite good and somehow, his reluctant expression also reminded her of that man, but still, the same fate was happening once again, and the young man in front of her was an enemy since both of them were coming from different factions in this Holy Grail War.

Haru was already a mouse that was trapped in the cage, and Semiramis was in a good mood so she felt a bit amused when she heard that he asked her for a reward.

”Can you let me go?” Haru asked.

”What if I don't let you go?” Semiramis asked with a smile.

”Then we can only fight,” Haru said with a sigh expression since he didn't have a hobby to hurt a woman.

Semiramis was amused and asked, ”Do you really want to fight me?”

”Well, if I have a choice then I won't fight you,” Haru said.

”Oh, why?” Semiramis asked.

”Why?”

”Why don't you want to fight me? We're enemies, right?”

”...”

Haru was wondering why Semiramis asked this question, but he answered, ”I am not saying this because I am looking down on a woman, but I don't feel good to fight against a woman.”

”Then you don't need to fight. You can stay here. I will make you my subject,” Semiramis said.

”....”

Haru opened his mouth and wasn't sure what to say. He blinked his eyes and asked, ”Your subject?”

”I will be the Queen of this world.” Semiramis smiled and said, ”Isn't it normal for me to have a subject?” In truth, she wanted to make him more than a subject, but after all, she had never known him and on the other hand, Shirou had made a big impression on her heart. It was just, she didn't expect to meet someone who resembled Ara the Handsome this much, wondering whether Haru was his descendant or something.

'Or reincarnation?'

Semiramis knew that there were a lot of strange things in this world so anything could happen.

”....”

Haru then remembered that unlike in the past where Semiramis was being looked up and there were a lot of people who wanted to flatter her all the time, this era, she was alone and she didn't have a subject.

Even if Semiramis was the queen of this hanging garden, all the servants of the Red Factions weren't her subjects and even refused to follow her order without hesitation.

”But I refuse.”

However, this answer displeased Semiramis since Haru's answer reminded her of that man's answer since, in her story, most men would bow down under her, except for Ara the Handsome who refused her when she was still alive.

Semiramis took a deep breath and asked, ”Before we fight, can you tell me your name first?”
