Solo Swordmaster

Episode #291. You will regret it.

she was hoping

May Hans bring the musician who played that ecstatic performance as he commanded.

But I didn’t expect it.

That Hans would be able to carry out his mission.

It was natural.

If the report from London is true, the player who handled the dark violin must be at least a skilled professional.

As he had seen several contacts with other princesses, it was obvious that it would be difficult to safely secure his identity with the power of the Rockefeller family alone.

Even if the performer himself accepts her invitation.

That’s why she wasn’t particularly disappointed when he returned empty-handed and tattered.

but a while ago.

The report he gave was enough to make her roll her eyes.

“…so.”

Track the performer’s information.

Find out that you are lost in the jungle.

At the end of heading to the jungle to secure him before the green dragon clan.

Until I felt the infinitely pure and mighty psionic flow that covered the entire jungle.

Sitting cross-legged on the sunbed in a swimsuit, she listened to Hans’ story and asked quietly.

“Are you saying that the disaster that happened to the Amazon was caused by the eighth dragon psionic?”

“yes.”

“Did you ignore my order and return straight away to tell me this?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t your life worth it?”

“How dare I risk my life in front of the long-cherished wish of the Seven Dragons?”

“You are arrogant.”

she snorted.

How dare you disregard orders with arbitrary judgment.

If it had been the way it was, it was a serious crime that would have taken his life immediately and destroyed his family.

“Yes, of course, if it is our clan.”

Still, she wasn’t particularly upset.

I don’t know if it’s something else.

It was an admission that information about the eighth dragon psionic would have been worth it.

“I won’t take my life right away thinking of that feat. Instead, I will prepare a place for you to die, so arrange the position of head of the household.”

“Thank you for your lenient treatment.”

I was told that I would rather kill him even though I had made a contribution.

Hans bowed his head in sincere gratitude.

They are a clan that does not know lies.

It was unconventional to warn him that if he failed in his mission, he would have to sacrifice his life and not kill him right away.

Ignoring the bowed Hans.

She was lost in thought, graceful and lofty as always.

‘The eighth dragon psionic…’

The sudden appearance of the dragon psionic, which the Seven Dragons had not touched for hundreds of years, was obviously shocking.

Even she was surprised for a moment.

But at this moment.

She was already out of the shock.

Because her arrogant personality, more than any other princess, did not allow herself to be in shock.

That’s why she was able to calmly organize the information she heard from Hans one by one.

A man who deals with psionics through music.

A bizarrely ecstatic performance.

An ambiguous identity even after investigation.

contact with other princesses.

The dragon psionic that Hans felt while chasing him, and even the faint sound of a violin he heard.

Those facts, which were only a little bizarre when viewed in isolation, became more suspicious the more they were put together.

‘That dark-haired man.’

It is clear that he is the link.

But she didn’t stop thinking there.

Unless it really fell from the sky, there’s no way such a bizarre man would have popped out of nowhere.

Did someone secretly grow it?

Is it a genius created by chance?

If that’s not the case…

…was he hiding his identity or was his current appearance a disguise?

“Is it really like that?”

The moment you put it all together.

She nodded slowly.

Despite connecting all the events, he finally realized the identity of the link that was strangely incomprehensible.

“If the swordsmith had that… the Black Dragon clan would have risked everything to pursue the world peace plan.”

It was amazing.

The shapeshifting technique that Limon uses is not only about appearance, but also interfering with the opponent’s perception itself.

To put it a little harshly, even if you put a dot on the corner of your eye, it had the power to prevent you from thinking of Limon when you see the camouflage.

So Ainsha, as well as Rose and Maia, couldn’t easily realize Limon’s identity.

To break that perceptual distortion just by guessing.

It was possible because she was so arrogant that she was absolutely certain that she couldn’t be wrong.

“Whoop whoop.”

so that.

she laughed.

In a low voice at first.

“Ahahahahahahaha!”

But the laughter that got louder and louder shook the room.

It wasn’t just a metaphor.

There is a parasol on the floor and a sleeping place.

Everything in the pool she was in was shaking like an earthquake.

The moment the laughter finally stopped.

“How dare Li Qingyu tear this bitch to death!”

Quaaaaaa!

The water that had filled the vast pool all at once gushed upside down, and everything was blown in all directions.

As if a bomb had exploded.

An even more surprising thing happened right after that.

Everything that had flown so fast that it could even pierce the sky came to a standstill in midair.

Parasols soaring like rockets.

Even the sunbeds that rotated round and round.

Even water that easily exceeds thousands of tons.

Even water droplets smaller than the fingernails that were about to scatter.

The appearance of everything being fixed in the air seemed more like a frozen scene from a certain video than reality.

and after a while

The video started rolling back.

Sunbeds return to their original places, and parasols are inserted into neatly set down tables.

And the vast amount of water, enough to knock down a small building, returned to the pool without the sound of a single drop.

As if the explosion itself hadn’t happened before.

In the quiet silence of the pool, she sat down on the sunbed again.

Then he opened his mouth in a languid voice, sweeping away his blond hair that was still wet.

“Tell Hans Ellis to move the Pacific Fleet.”

“All right.”

I didn’t even mention where to move.

Hans, who had been on his knees without even moving from the commotion, answered without hesitation.

Anyway, in this situation, there was only one place to move the Pacific Fleet to pressure.

But her words did not end there.

“Recover all funds related to the Black Dragon Clan and East Asia, and make all domestic companies cut off transactions.”

“I will deliver it right away.”

It’s like starting a war.

After giving all kinds of instructions one after another.

She added one more haughty word at the end.

“And prepare a letter.”

long ago.

Before the seven dragons were formed.

An organization that has been digging out jewels and gold through mine development since the days when it was called the Demonic Cult, and has accumulated wealth through usury.

And with that vast amount of money, the clan dominated the world’s banking, securities, insurance, and financial industries.

The owner of Fafnir, the world’s best and largest conglomerate, if only talking about financial power.

A golden ruler who can command everything in the United States with a single word.

Charlotte G. Rothschild.

The Golden Dragon Princess, the strongest of the Seven Dragons, spoke with an arrogant and lofty attitude even though her pride was wounded.

“I can’t be the only one who knows this good news, can I?”

* * *

“I will advise you. Take the wisest course of action now.”

Maia said quietly.

And seeing Li Qingyu, who had lost his smile, kept a cold sneer on him.

“Then at least you can save your life.”

Words like ridicule.

But Li Qingyu knew.

It’s not meant to mock you, it’s really heartfelt advice.

“I think that just by telling you this fact, our clan has paid off all of our debt to you. What do you think?”

“…I should rather thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me. Li Qingyu, I have no intention of paying you in debt.”

Maia cut it off.

And slowly turned his head.

To look back at Limon, who was scratching his cheek as if he was in trouble.

“Now, I think only the favor with you, the swordsman, remains.”

“…”

Limon remained silent.

All of the Seven Dragons were like that, but the grudge between the Green Dragons and the Green Dragons in particular was deep and complex.

“To be clear, you are the enemy of our clan.”

Find out their old home base.

Even calling the Sword Demon.

And he gave the Sword Demon a chance to slaughter most of the green dragon clan by cutting down the princess who went out to protect the clan.

In that respect, Limon could be said to be the enemy of the green dragon clan.

“At the same time, he is also the benefactor who protected the rest of the clan from the sword demon and saved me.”

But when Geomma tries to track down the remaining green dragon clan.

And when he tried to annihilate the Seven Dragons, even by killing most of the human race, it was Limon who stopped him.

If that’s the only thing, it’s something to be indignant about giving sickness and giving medicine.

But this time, as Limon rescued Maia, the balance was shaken again.

To the Seven Dragons, a princess is everything.

Even the resentment caused by killing the princess could be forgotten when he thought of the grace that saved him from the danger of the dragon’s true blood almost ending.

So, Maia proposed again.

“If you become my sire, our clan will forget past grudges and serve you as a benefactor, doing anything you can.”

If the previous confession was private, this proposal, on the contrary, thoroughly excludes emotions.

After experiencing work in the jungle.

It’s revenge, it’s Nabal, and you must get Limon.

It was a proposal made by the green dragon princess, who faithfully reflected the opinions of the elders and other clans, who frothed at the mouth.

“But if you don’t want to become my sire, then I will have no choice but to keep aiming for you.”

However, that was until Limon was in their hands.

If they eventually refuse to become sire, they will stop at nothing to obtain the eighth dragon psionic.

Intimidation, war, human experimentation, etc.

really doing anything.

The eighth dragon psionic is indispensable to fulfill their long-cherished wish.

“Are you willing to change your mind?”

“yes.”

“…not even hesitating.”

“What would a human being like me do like this?”

You’re living a grudge, as if you’re used to it anyway.

After staring at Limon, who shrugged, Maia spoke quietly.

“I will warn you in advance, thinking of the grace that saved me.”

“What do you mean?”

“Kill me now. Otherwise I will be your enemy.”

Limon was not taken aback by the absurd warning.

I just answered while looking directly at Maia with deep sunken eyes.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of doing that.”

“You will regret it.”

“Yes, maybe.”

Limon nodded his head politely.

That doesn’t mean I’ve lived a life without regrets.

Even when the Sword Demon was involved in the work of the Green Dragon Clan.

Even when they drugged the South American continent in retaliation.

Wasn’t there a better way?

Because I regretted it several times.

“Nevertheless, this is my choice.”

“…Yes, I knew you would say that.”

But regret is part of life.

There is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ life in which only success is determined.

Even if there was, Limon had no intention of living such a life.

As much as there is nothing as trivial as a game played with cheat keys.

A life that succeeds no matter what you do is like a puppet life in which effort, will, and even the meaning of life are lost.

That’s why, even if you regret this choice someday, you can’t kill Maia just because you don’t know what she will do later.

Maia nodded her head as Limon spoke plainly.

And after seeing Li Qingyu, who was making a complicated expression behind him, for the last time.

najik said.

“I command you with the power of scales.”

sitting on a hospital bed.

lightly stretch out one hand.

All 10 balance weights left on that wrist evaporated.

“Do not resist at all for the next minute.”

Grab Limon’s collar.

Due to the constraint of time, the stronger force pulled him closer to his nose with his eyes wide open.

And…

something soft.

It overlapped Limon’s lips.
