“It was wonderful, Princess.”

“I want to know if Tata was like that too.”

“Of course.”

Tata nodded.

Then, she looked at Ainsha, who swallowed the stinging Krembo, with admiring eyes.

“It wasn’t enough to set up a confrontation with the Gold Dragon Princess, so to speak confidently against the Silver Dragon Princess. Tata was amazed.”

“Of course. I am also a princess. There is no reason to be fooled.”

It seems like nothing.

Ainsha replied expressionlessly.

…Yes, but the elated expression was revealed in the wide open chest and the high nose bridge.

Tata did not bother to point out that fact.

It was because Ainsha’s appearance today was just as wonderful.

Or being teased by Catherine.

Be tricked by Li Qingyu to extort money.

Receiving help from Rose, earning Maia’s cynicism, or being completely ignored by Hasneti.

When he recalled the Chilryong branch, where he suffered all sorts of hardships, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of alienation, and tears of emotion came out.

However, it is the job of an aide to always assist the princess rationally and speak directly.

Tata asked calmly even in the midst of being thrilled.

“By the way, are you really okay, Princess?”

“It’s okay to be hungry now.”

“…Of course, since you haven’t had breakfast at all, it’s important to fill your stomach, but more than that, you decided to help the Black Dragon Princess.”

tall.

I was trying to drink milk tea.

Hearing that, Ainsha stopped.

Tata gave her serious advice.

“From Tata’s point of view, it was better to support Princess Geumryong based only on the conditions.”

“…”

If Ainsha supports Charlotte even now, she can get a majority share and make Limon her sire.

Then, given the character of Charlotte, who never lies, Ainsha will also be given a chance.

“Of course, if that happened, it would be harder to occupy the seat next to the swordsman, but on the contrary, it might have been easier for you to win the swordsman’s heart.”

“…”

Besides, right now, the only thing Charlotte and Hasneti Yekatriche are aiming for is Limon’s psionics.

It could have been an easy opponent in that he wasn’t the type to compete with her to monopolize Limon’s affection.

“By the way, is there any reason why you chose the Black Dragon Princess?”

Whether as a single family.

Whether as a nanny who raised you.

Whether as an aide to the princess.

Take a moment to look at Tata, who gave advice in consideration of all aspects, with an expressionless face.

Ainsha said bluntly.

“You don’t have to know Tata.”

Maybe because I didn’t know that Ainsha would say such a thing, I even opened my eyes wide for a while.

Tata asked again.

“Anyway, you mean there’s a reason?”

“That’s right.”

“All right. Then I will know that too.”

It’s suspicious, but if the princess wants it to be a secret, she won’t bother asking in detail.

Adhering to an attitude befitting an aide, Tata calmly continued as he foresaw.

“But you must be careful, princess. Since we’ve already declared hostility, Princess Gold Dragon won’t stay still.”

“It doesn’t matter. Lee is on our side. There is also Li Qingyu. It is a battle that will never be lost.”

If you’re going to use force, go to Limon.

If you’re plotting, to Li Qingyu.

Now you will be able to get help as an equal.

So, I just need to let him know from time to time, and just put it on top of me.

Looking at Ainsha who spoke bluntly, Tata made an admiring expression again.

“It’s really great that you made the decision after thinking that far.”

“of course. I am now New Ainsha. You shouldn’t compare it with the past…”

“Princess? Why all of a sudden…?”

tall.

In the middle of saying that this is the basics to become Limon’s bride.

Ainsha shut her mouth.

And Tata, too, was about to ask the reason, but kept his mouth shut and looked into space.

Like seeing something invisible.

Take a moment to stare into space.

At the same time, the Princess of the White Dragon Clan and her aides looked at each other with expressionless faces and indescribable eyes.

Tiri-ri-ri-ri.

[hello. Can you hear Ainsha?]

And.

The two people’s foreknowledge came true.

She hadn’t even answered the phone yet, but Ainsha wasn’t surprised by the cheerful voice that came with her smartphone turned on.

I just asked with an expressionless face.

“I want to know what is going on.”

[What are you asking? You should have foreseen why I called anyway.]

“…Confirmed. I will answer whether it is true that Yekathrice did what will happen from now on.”

[Ah, I couldn’t believe I did it alone.]

“Don’t lie.”

[It’s a lie! It was ‘we’ who did it, so I didn’t do it alone.]

“….”

As if he was disappointed that he was being treated as a liar.

Yekathrice said lightly.

Then he growled and asked.

[How do you feel about not regretting that you decided to delegate the stake to Li Qingyu?]

“I don’t regret it.”

[okay? Then, if you regret it later, contact me. This unnie will intercede for a hundred kisses…]

Pop.

* * *

“Hello? Hello~?”

A few times to shout hard.

Catherine, who was sitting on the window sill, threw her smartphone at Kana.

“Ainsha grew up a lot to just hang up on my phone.”

“Persuasion seems to have failed.”

“Well, our Ainsha is secretly stubborn. I guess I’ll have to see if I get confused?”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

Catherine tilted her head at the words of Charlotte, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea.

“Do you think Ainsha will side with Li Qingyu until the end?”

“If you’re just stubborn, you can change your mind, but Ainsha is a member of the White Dragon clan.”

“You didn’t seem to have seen Yeji, did you?”

“But isn’t it strange to think that such a decision was made without any basis?”

“Hmm, there is a point. There is a point…”

He nodded as if he was right.

Yekathrice, who was slightly confused, looked at Charlotte gently.

“Because I am the one who knows the most about Charlotte Ainsha? So, would you dare not pretend to know me?”

in a joking tone.

with a playful smile.

Yekathrice said lightly.

“—Because I want to kill you.”

If you talk nonsense like that in front of yourself again, it’s cooperation and nabal, and I’ll kill you right away.

Unlike her smiling face, Charlotte was not nervous even while looking at Yekathrice’s eyes overflowing with 100% intent to kill.

Rather, I just laughed like it was funny.

“If you can, do it. It will also be a fun entertainment.”

“Huh… Really?”

The moment Yekathrice laughed as well at her attitude, as if she was treating her warning as entertainment.

Quaang!

A gust of wind blows.

The distance between the two has disappeared.

Ekathrice, who had appeared in front of Charlotte before she knew it, stood still as she was about to pierce her neck with a water tap.

As if blocked by an invisible barrier.

Meanwhile, Charlotte didn’t care.

As if nothing happened.

I just tilted my teacup as I sat in my seat.

Yekathrice, who saw her relaxed appearance, smiled even deeper.

The frost spread from her hands and covered the whole room in white.

The moment when only the silver-haired girl was about to start moving again in a space where everything stopped as if time had stopped.

Pew!

A heat wave broke out centering on the two.

After it vanished as suddenly as a mighty swirling torrent of flames appeared.

What came to the ears of Charlotte, who still remained motionless, and Catherine, who had returned to the window sill, heard a muddy voice.

“Make jokes in moderation.”

A red-haired woman standing with her back against the wall, smoking a cigarette.

Hasneti looked at the two with bloody eyes and said quietly.

“If you’re going to waste any more time with something like this, I’ll be part of the prank.”

He narrowed his eyes for a moment as he looked at Hasneti, who had a cold face, as if not even a knife would pierce him.

Yekathrice scratched her head at the end.

“Aye, let’s stop. It’s no fun playing with you Hasnetty.”

“I’m sorry about that. It was kind of fun.”

“What can I do? The scary soldier sister said she wouldn’t let me go if she joked around more.”

either Yekatrich.

either Charlotte.

If another princess had said this, she wouldn’t have backed down so easily.

But against Hasneti, I couldn’t do that.

There was a really high chance that someone would die in a fight with her who never knew a joke and had no concept of being moderate.

It was impossible to break the alliance that had been formed in this way.

“Anyway, it’s a shame. I wanted to see what expression Ainsha was making right now.”

“There is nothing to regret. As long as you keep the agreement well, you can see it anytime.”

“but.”

Take a moment to giggle and laugh.

Yekathrice asked as if she had just remembered.

“By the way, Charlotte, we have to work hard to find the Liberation Brigade from now on, right?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“It’s nothing. I wanted to make sure that I didn’t change my mind when I said it was okay to keep the bounty from the Liberation Brigade I caught.”

“Of course.”

“Is that really okay?”

Relaxed.

Yekathrice said with a bright smile.

“If I single-handedly defeat all of the Liberation Brigade and get a 51% stake with the bounty, I might want to overtake Charlotte and monopolize the swordsmanship, right?”

What use would an alliance be at that time?

Charlotte was not agitated even while watching Yekathrice speak calmly with a smile on her face.

He just smiled and said,

“It is a useless worry. There is no way that would be possible with me.”

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

If there is anyone who can single-handedly collect 51% of the shares, it is only you.

So grab the Liberation Brigade and buy other clans’ shares or not, do whatever you want.

Looking at Charlotte talking proudly.

While Yekathrice smiles meaningfully.

Hasneti, who tossed her finished cigarette into ashes in the air, opened her mouth in a muffled voice.

“It doesn’t matter what you do, but don’t forget that the swordsmith and Li Qingyu are the ones we need to be most careful with.”

“Ahaha! That’s a funny joke. There’s no way Li Qingyu could be our competitor, right?”

“I also agree with Catherine.”

Charlotte looked away slowly.

And behind the window where Yekathrice was sitting.

Looking at the Leviathan Hotel towering against the wide sky, he smiled coldly.

“Rather than compete with us, Li Qingyu will have to figure out how to survive in the war that is about to begin.”

* * *

[…What’s going on?]

As soon as Yekatrice hung up the phone, Li Ching-yu and Limon came flying to the white-haired girl.

Ainsha talked about the future she saw with her head on the table with an expressionless face.

“If we continue like this, the Holy League of China will fall into chaos. Tiamat and Leviathan are also in trouble. We are doomed.”

I even blinked my eyes in a daze because I heard such absurd words.

Yuna-kyung turned her head.

And looking at Li Qingyu, who was smiling bitterly as if he knew that, he asked shyly.

[Princess sister? I can’t believe the war I mentioned earlier…]

“Yes.”

Li Qingyu nodded.

Then he said calmly, remembering what Charlotte and Yekatrice Hasneti were plotting.

“What will start from now on is not a bloody war. It is an economic war using money and power.”
