Chapter 248: Dragon of Destruction (4)
President Phaophator greeted them on the runway once again.
The entire welcoming parade was quite similar to the one Han-Yeol received when he first arrived in Egypt. If there was anything different this time, it was the fact that Tayarana was the center of attention instead of him.
[Hahaha! Congratulations, my child!]
[Thank you, father,] Tayarana greeted Phaophator with the utmost respect.
[Oh!]
[As expected of the princess!]
[She is so beautiful!]
All of the congress members and elders of Egypt gathered as well to greet her. She was next in line to become the president, but there were some dissidents who believed she was unfit to inherit the position because she was only an Osiris Rank Hunter. These people were the purists who believed Egypt should be ruled by a Ra Rank Hunter. nOve-Lb)In
The dissent was so strong that there were talks of having one of the Ra Rank Hunters inherit the position instead of Tayarana. However, all of those dissensions instantly disappeared the moment she officially stepped foot on Egyptian soil as a Ra Rank Hunter.
The dissidents were simply purists who wanted a Ra Rank Hunter to be the president and had no ambitions to stir turmoil in the country. They easily accepted her as the next president after she returned as a Ra Rank Hunter. The politicians were no longer opposing her succession, but they had other priorities in mind now.
‘If she marries my son...!’
‘Hoho! My son is the one who will marry her!’
‘My son is the most handsome actor in all of Egypt! Who would dare to win her heart aside from him?’
There was no way these people could ever become royalty. But what if their son were to marry the queen? That could change their fortune for generations to come.
‘Disgusting...’?Mariam could see right through their despicable smiles.
These politicians had no idea that Mariam could use her ability to peek into other people's minds. It wasn't important whether they knew it or not, as only an extraordinary person could prevent themselves from controlling their own thoughts, after all.
[Congratulations to you too, Han-Yeol.]
President Phaophator did not forget to greet Han-Yeol as well. He was quite fond of Han-Yeol now, looking at him as if he were gazing upon his treasure.
[Thank you very much, Phaophator-nim.]
[Hahaha! You might be a foreigner, but you’re as good as my son now!]
[Thank you, sir.]
[Alright! I have prepared a party for the both of you, let us go.]
A new kind of dissident was rising up in Egypt's political scene due to Phaophator's recent actions, and this time it had something to do with the candidate for the next president's husband.
‘Why is he here?!’
‘That commoner dares to!’
‘Ugh... So the rumors must be true...’
‘Damn it!’
This was especially true for politicians who had a son around Tayarana's age, as they dreamt of wielding power through a political marriage.
‘Hmm... Should we pass a law requiring the leader’s spouse to be an Egyptian?’
Some of them even tried to use the law in their favor.
‘Haha... These fools...’
Mariam shook her head in disbelief while walking right beside Tayarana.
She could have spent her time doing much more important things, but she chose to stay right beside Tayarana. Tayarana was always surrounded by people with despicable thoughts, and Mariam considered it her sacred duty to shield her from them.
‘Is there a way I can teach these imbeciles a lesson?’?she wondered.
She could have simply ignored them because nothing was going to change, no matter how much they struggled. After all, they could try every trick they knew, but none of it was going to work on Phaophator and Tayarana.
The reason was quite simple. These politicians were ordinary commoners at the end of the day, and they did not have the support of the populace. The one who rescued Egypt from the brink of destruction and turned it into the powerhouse it is today was none other than Phaophator.
While the name Egypt may have been retained by the country, its citizens considered it to be a different country altogether.
Phaophator's popularity naturally made the general public adore Hunters as well, creating an environment where ordinary politicians could not sway the general public no matter what they did. Some might ask why the politicians and elders were made up of ordinary people, and the answer was quite simple.
There was no way a Hunter was going to be willing to hold such boring and mundane positions in the first place. A Hunter was guaranteed to win the election if they ran for Congress, but Hunters in the country already made good money without having to go through political drama. Additionally, the Hunters did not require any representation, as the association ensured their rights and provided for their needs in the first place.
‘Hmm... Let’s slowly put a plan together.’
Mariam had a morbid hobby of subjecting her enemies to a slow and painful demise, and this disturbing penchant appeared to be resurfacing once again.

The party hosted by the president lasted for three full days. Abundant varieties of delicacies were prepared, and performers from all corners of the country were summoned to entertain at the event.
