Solo Swordmaster

#301. Shall I be honest?

Limon, who had been silent with a glass of wine, opened his mouth after a while.

“… broke off marriage?”

“yes.”

“You want to break our engagement?”

“After all, our engagement was a political ploy out of necessity.”

It was.

From the beginning, they were not the kind of romantic relationship that was formed at the end of intense passion and love.

Limon wants to gain wealth and power by taking control of the Seven Dragons.

Li Qingyu wanted to create an ally to fight the Constellation together.

for each other’s benefit.

Thoroughly examine rationality.

It was only a marriage contract that was chosen as the surest means of alliance.

“But since the information about the eighth dragon psionic has been revealed, your engagement with me will only interfere with the swordsmith.”

The more Limon keeps Li Ching-wee.

Other princesses will pressure and attack her and the Black Dragon clan in various ways, and in the worst case, a war will break out.

And whoever wins.

At the point of war, everything ends.

No matter how much force they force, the Seven Dragons will never obey Limon, and even if they did, they would already be cut in half by the war.

If it develops into a world war, even half of it will disappear.

Both Limon’s goal of obtaining the Seven Dragons and Li Qingyu’s plan to prepare for the Constellations failed.

“It is pointless to maintain an arranged marriage that only harms, let alone benefits.”

“…So you’re saying we’re going to make our contract non-existent?”

“No, we’re trying to do our best.”

Li Qingyu shook his head.

And just in case.

From the moment she learned about dragon psionics, she revealed the best way to prepare.

“The wrath of Charlotte and the other princesses is directed at me.”

It was natural.

Also, during the meeting, she avoided mentioning Limon.

Even calling him ‘the eighth dragon psionic’ or ‘it’.

It was a trick to make the princesses’ thoughts focus on herself, not Limon, as much as possible by secretly displaying her mental sensitivity.

“Even if I break off the marriage with the swordsman, they will continue to keep me in check.”

“Will the vigilance against me who tried to eat seven dragons instead fade?”

“yes that’s right.”

In the first place, the anger of the princesses now is emotional.

If Li Qingyu took on all the anger alone, it would be easier to approach Limon more calmly.

Or vice versa.

“The most important thing is that the swordsman will be able to make new choices through this breakup.”

“…What does that mean?”

“It’s a simple story.”

tilt the glass

After wetting her red lips with whiskey.

With a light sigh, he exhaled his breath mixed with the scent of alcohol.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“It means that the swordsman will be able to choose which of the remaining six princesses to take as his new fiancée.”

“…”

“Of course, if all the princesses work together to suppress the swordsman, the story will be different… but that probably won’t happen.”

“…”

“At least Ainsha and Rose wouldn’t look at such a situation.”

The reason why the two couldn’t come forward was because Li Qingyu’s fault was so obvious.

When Li Qingyu takes on all the responsibility, they are free to help Li Mon.

Maia won’t cooperate with meekly either.

If that happens, it will be difficult for Charlotte, Hasneti and Yekathrice to mobilize hardline measures.

If Limon chooses another princess as his fiancée, they will end up like dogs chasing chickens.

Of course, I won’t give up just like that.

However, if that happens, you will have to accept the disadvantage of dealing with other clans and limon together.

Unlike Li Qingyu, who lost his justification and earned resentment by deceiving everyone, this time it will be difficult to get cooperation from other clans.

What if you turn it upside down?

That means most princesses will be betrothed to Limon and move to gain the upper hand.

“Have them compete and take advantage of the gap.”

“…Are you asking me to manage the fishery?”

“If I had to use an analogy, it would be training a beast.”

A fish farm manager will not die unless he falls into the water, but a beast trainer will be eaten by a beast the moment he makes a mistake.

And the princesses of the Seven Dragons are beasts that can even bite the sword master’s neck if they’re not careful.

Even that Ainshana Rose.

However, in order to obtain the Seven Dragons, it is necessary to take such a risk.

Li Qingyu said calmly.

Limon asked quietly.

“And finally choose one of the other princesses to marry?”

“yes.”

If you want a comfortable match, Ainshaw.

If you want a reliable companion, go with Rose.

If you’re looking for a lover to love passionately, Maia.

If you need a partner or understanding, with Hasneti or Yekatrice.

Calmly explaining the advantages of marrying each princess, like a matchmaker who introduces even the first person.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Of course, you don’t have to pick just one.”

“Whether it’s a political relationship or a practical lover or wife.”

“The deeper the relationship with the more princesses, the easier it will be to take control of the Seven Dragons.”

Maybe it’s because I heard such an outrageous offer.

Li Qingyu did not hesitate even while watching Li Mon, who was silent and silent.

As a bookkeeper before being a princess.

I was just talking about the best course of action.

“In that sense, the one I recommend is Charlotte.”

“Charlotte is the only princess who can lead us all.”

The seven clans of the Seven Dragons are equal, but that is only a matter of principle.

either with wealth or power.

either in personal capacity.

Princess Geumryong has always overpowered other clans and played the role of leader of the Seven Dragons.

“It’s the most formidable opponent, but if you get Charlotte’s cooperation instead, you’ll have to say that you’ve got half of the Seven Dragons.”

“The other princesses would reluctantly agree if she was the rightful wife, and the swordsman would be able to rely on her.”

“The above is the best I can think of.”

even long.

Simple.

that was shocking

Even after Li Qingyu’s explanation was over, Limon couldn’t open his mouth for a long time.

I’ve lived a long life and I’ve been through all kinds of prenatal battles.

I had never imagined that the day would come when I would hear such an outrageous proposal to enchant the princess and eat the seven dragons.

I didn’t even know that I would listen to the proposal to the bride-to-be.

“There are so many things I want to say, so I don’t know what to say first… Let’s ask this first.”

Empty the glass at once.

He turned his gaze to Li Qingyu, who was quietly trying to refill his glass.

Limon asked quietly.

“Princess, why do you keep doing this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You are my prospective bride, but why are you making a fuss about not being able to get me another woman?”

“….”

As if it was hit right in the middle.

Li Qingyu stops pouring alcohol.

Because of that, the wine overflowed from the glass and wet his hands, but Limon didn’t care.

He just continued talking while looking at Li Qingyu with calm eyes.

“Even when the White Dragon Princess proposed to me, I asked if you would accept the proposal.”

Even before Ainsha knew Limon’s identity.

Even after learning about dragon psionics and proposing to her.

Li Qingyu did not block it, but rather stood by or even recommended it.

“The Blue Dragon Princess allowed me to visit anytime.”

If I had left it alone, I deliberately shook and pulled Rose, who would have withdrawn cleanly, so that I could continue contact with Limon.

“I didn’t even stop the green dragon princess from attacking me using the force of the balance.”

Originally, to prevent such a situation, he would have gone into hiding to watch Limon and Maia.

He just watched in silence as she kissed Limon.

Even if your eyes are on the back of your head, you will know by this point.

Not to mention, there was no way that Noh Kang-ho, a sword master with a keen sense like Limon, could not feel a sense of incongruity.

“Before that, I thought I was going to do that. We were enemies by nature and you might want to get away from me.”

“….”

“But if you really fell in love with me and proposed to me and wanted to monopolize me, then your actions are full of contradictions.”

“…”

“What is the reason?”

Like an unexpected attack.

Li Qingyu, who had been silent, quietly put the bottle down.

Then I raised my head and looked up at the sky where the sun had set and the night had fallen before I knew it.

“There are three reasons.”

“Tell me.”

As if he would listen to all of them, even if there were not three reasons, but a thousand.

Limon nodded.

Li Qingyu said quietly.

“The first is because I am indebted to the other princesses. I can’t explain what that debt is.”

If the opponent had been an ordinary woman, Li Qingyu would not have backed down as easily as now.

However, it was not possible for other princesses.

The debt she owed was so great.

…To the extent that even Li Qingyu’s own life could not repay it.

“Secondly, because I have committed a great sin against the swordsman, I am not qualified to become a married man.”

including the World Peace Program.

Li Qingyu committed many sins against Limon.

Because it was such a big mistake, I pretended not to know it, and even now I dare not speak of it.

“The third and final reason is that the swordsman must obtain the intact Seven Dragons no matter what.”

“To block the Constellations?”

“yes.”

“I can’t explain why you go so far and keep the Constellations vigilant and prepared?”

“At least not yet.”

I said three reasons.

Despite Li Qingyu’s attitude of saying that he couldn’t explain everything, Limon was neither embarrassed nor disappointed.

I just asked quietly.

“Do you think I would accept that explanation?”

“You won’t accept it.”

Still can’t help it.

Now that the information about the eighth dragon psionic has been revealed, this is the best way for Limon to get his hands on the Seven Dragons.

Take a moment to look at Li Qingyu, who speaks calmly.

Limon asked casually.

“Then, how about you, princess?”

“What do you mean by me?”

“It means that you can agree with yourself what you just said.”

slowly.

Reach out.

Sweeping the black hair that was tied up in a single strand.

From the round ears to the soft cheeks and soft chin to the slender neck.

I slipped my fingers wet with whiskey, checked the texture of the skin, and naturally carved a subtle fragrance.

Limon finally grabbed Li Qingyu by the shoulder and pulled him slightly towards him.

and put it in her ear.

said in a whisper.

“If anyone talks about making my bride-to-be a wife, I will beat him to death.”

“…”

“But can you accept that I am engaged to another woman?”

If you marry another princess, it means that you will do something worse than this.

Even so, I wonder if I can smile and watch it and accept it satisfactorily.

Limon asked.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Shall I be honest with you?”

Soft and quiet as always.

However, unlike usual, the inside was not always revealed.

With eyes that reveal the dull yet dark feelings.

“No, I will never do that.”

Like a lover, he buried his head on Limon’s shoulder.

The most dangerous and insidious princess in the Seven Dragons spoke coldly.

“Ainsha, Rose, Maia, and Charlotte. Even if I kill them all, I want to monopolize the swordsmanship.”
