Solo Swordmaster

#734. do you need to believe

* * *

Ainsha and Catherine.

The two princesses defeated the sword light.

Also, that she was recognized as a bride by Limon.

The fact was quickly known to the other princesses shortly after the Russian blockade was lifted.

And then.

Rose felt mixed emotions.

As a descendant of a dragon with a maniacal monopoly, she could not calmly accept that two more princesses were given rings by her lover.

Even more so because of her own position, which has not yet been formally recognized as a bride.

But in the end, Rose conceded.

No, she had to admit it.

Helping Limon until losing one of her arms.

Defeating the absolute of absolutes, the Sword Master.

Also, after struggling, he made a big contribution to saving the world by stopping the demon.

Because as a princess of the Seven Dragons before being his bride, I couldn’t deny that Ainsha and Yekatriche were qualified to be Limon’s bride.

but….

“May I have a seat too?”

“…”

A black-haired girl smiling brightly.

No princess answered Li Qingyu’s calm question.

She asked her permission out of courtesy, not just knowing that she had no intention of actually getting her permission.

because she felt

the moment she entered.

The pulsation of their dragon psionics.

‘This is the completed dragon psionic…’

The momentum felt by Li Ching-yu was not shockingly intense or intoxicatingly alluring like Limon’s.

Instead, it feels soft.

vague as darkness.

as quiet as sleep

deep as a dream.

The night sky…

No, it seems to be locked in the night itself.

Looking at her, her presence sent goose bumps down Rose’s back as she couldn’t take her eyes off her as if she was possessed.

It wasn’t just Rose.

Other princesses here.

In particular, each aide behind her and the Seven Dragons were feeling even more dizzy.

If it were not for the princess she adored, she might have fallen on her knees and worshiped Li Qingyu before she knew it.

So it was.

Rose, of course.

That’s why the other princesses also silently looked at Li Qingyu and couldn’t open their mouths easily.

“hi! You’ve been away from the Leviathan branch in Moscow for a while, and now you seem to be feeling better?”

…Of course there are exceptions everywhere.

It’s because I’m not sane.

Li Qingyu smiled at Yekathrice, who spoke to her now as calmly as usual.

“Thanks to your consideration.”

“Thank you very much. Originally, he even distributed elixirs that only Ainsha and I could use.”

For a moment, she was elated as she opened her firm breasts.

Catherine’s eyes suddenly lit up.

And with her excited face, she opened her mouth.

“Anyway, that’s a bit unexpected.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Li Qingyu, what you look like now. I thought it would come with horns and a tail.”

“…”

quietly.

A commotion that spreads.

Those who were gathered in the meeting room all expressed agitation at those words, which were so calmly and weakly pointed.

However, Li Qingyu was not at all taken aback when he heard Yekathrice’s words.

he just smiled

“Horns and a tail… are you talking about this?”

fillet!

“…!”

That moment.

Rose held her breath.

He didn’t even show signs of raising his psionic power.

Her horns and tail scales sticking out of her so naturally.

And most of all, jet-black wings fluttering like a shadow behind Li Qingyu’s back, as if they had been there from the beginning.

It hardened everyone present.

Originally, it is not because the act of risking one’s life for the princess is made like breathing.

rather the opposite.

Dehumanize.

Seeing Li Qingyu in his true form.

Also, it was only after feeling her dragon psionic that she was dizzy beyond compare to before.

What she knew in her head.

But the fact that I didn’t feel it.

Li Qingyu, who is here now, is no longer the Black Dragon Princess, but the Second Coming Black Dragon.

No, she is the Black Dragon Hu (黑龍后) who ate the black dragon’s soul and usurped the seat of one of the seven dragons.

“…It’s more amazing than I’ve heard.”

Even if you stay in Russia together.

Because each other’s work is busy, there is nothing to face.

Yekatrice, who had never seen Li Qingyu complete the dragon’s blood, uttered honest admiration.

And the eyes that had turned round were tinged with interest.

“Here, Li Qingyu. Can I ask you one thing?”

“According to the question.”

listen once

I will decide whether to answer.

To Li Qingyu, who spoke calmly.

Yekathrice asked with an intrigued look on her face.

“How did you feel after eating Sijo?”

Even if a blizzard suddenly came and froze everything, the air wouldn’t be this cold.

It’s so unexpected, but it’s a really Yekathrice-like question, so I’m silent for a while.

Li Qingyu finally opened her mouth with her wry smile.

No she was trying to open.

“Ekathrice farm, go there.”

“huh? I wasn’t joking, I was serious.”

“Then stop even more.”

Sharp as always.

However, unlike usual, Maia, who blocked Yekatriche’s question seriously rather than cynically, looked away from her.

Then, with her cool eyes, she looked over Li Qing.

“Do you know what Li Qingyu did?”

“I killed the black one.”

“exactly. And for that you have done something irreparable.”

“….”

“That’s why we must judge as the princesses of the Seven Dragons.”

gloomy eyes.

subdued voice.

and a gentle confirmation.

“Whether I should punish you or not.”

“…”

“Do you admit it?”

“I admit it.”

Maia’s point.

Li Qingyu did not deny it.

Because what he did was good enough.

Looking at her, Maia soon pressed her own temple with her tired face.

“To be honest, thanks to Li Qingyu, our situation has become very complicated now.”

“Did I destroy the long-cherished wish of the Seven Dragons?”

“I’m glad you know.”

The long-cherished wish of the Seven Dragons is to reverse the era of the seven dragons.

And for that, the resurrection of the seven dragons was not an option, but a necessity and core.

The reason why the seven clans were loyal to the princess in the first place was because they were the vessels that would one day bring about the dragon’s resurrection.

However, instead of giving birth to a dragon, Li Qingyu became a dragon himself.

By doing so, the long-cherished wish of the Black Dragon Clan was made impossible.

It was an outrageous betrayal indeed.

“The problem is that thanks to you, not only the Black Dragon Clan, but also the foundation of the Seven Dragons Society has been shaken.”

“So you’re saying you need my punishment.”

“To avoid clan infighting.”

The fact of what Li Qingyu had done was already shaking not only the Black Dragon clan, but also other clans.

What happened once can happen twice.

Do you need to take that kind of action to calm the anxiety mixed with the clan’s gaze toward the princesses right now?

Big or small, punishment for Li Qingyu is necessary.

It was when Maia pointed it out.

“Well, would that be necessary?”

“…What do you mean?”

“Li Qingyu only did what was necessary to catch the sword, but he is asking why he should be punished.”

Maia frowned as she looked at Yekathrice, who spoke with her face in single distance.

Of course, you are free to express your opinion at this meeting.

Just as she judged that punishment was necessary for the stability of the Seven Dragons Society, she had the right to claim Li Qingyu’s innocence against Yekatriche.

but….

“Ekathrice, be honest.”

“what?”

“Are you siding with Li Qingyu out of consideration for her circumstances?”

If she had been Rose or Ainsha, she would have agreed.

However, the Catherine that Maia knew was not a very caring girl.

Even if she received help from Li Qingyu during this Russian crisis, it was more like her to pretend she didn’t know and shamelessly take it off.

Nonetheless, there is one reason why she is on the side of Li Qingyu.

“Or do you have other ideas?”

Maia with her deep sunken eyes.

Even while the rest of the clan is again agitated by her one remark.

Catherine was not taken aback.

She only smiled meaningfully and questioned.

“Which one do you think it is?”

“…that’s crazy.”

“Honestly, I don’t think there will be much of a difference either way.”

“I’m thinking of doing that for you.”

“Is that so?”

After tilting her head slightly.

she asked, since she was a silver-haired girl.

“What do you think Kana?”

“I just follow 100% of whatever the princess wants.”

“Look, Maia. Do you think our children have different ideas?”

“…”

From princess to entourage.

What could be good about that clan of madness that has no answer?

It was just when Maia raised an eyebrow at her intensifying headache.

“No bullshit. Li Qingyu cheated everyone from the beginning. I just can’t get over it.”

She has the same face as Yekatrice.

However, looking straight at Li Qingyu with a perfectly expressionless face, Ainsha said curtly.

“I can forgive you for cheating on me. But I will never forgive you for cheating on Lee.”

“I’ve never cheated on a swordsman.”

“Don’t speak sophistry. If you really haven’t cheated on Lee, tell me why you’ve been secretly gathering dragon psionics all this time.”

The dragon psionics that Li Qingyu has collected are enormous.

After spending the first night with Limon…

no, before that.

It was an amount that could only have been accumulated over a year without wasting a single grain.

If it wasn’t for secretly laying eggs or even planning to become a dragon from the start, I wouldn’t have done that.

If there are any other reasons, give me an excuse.

Li Qingyu shook her head after a brief silence at Ain Sha’s remark, which was sharp, unlike her.

“I cannot tell you why.”

“Look at that. Li Qingyu also has other plans. I absolutely cannot believe it.”

Could it be because of what Ainsha said?

Li Qingyu calmly accepted the chilled air.

It was a predetermined outcome from the time he revealed the Black Dragon Second Coming to catch Black in the first place.

Especially in that she is a member of the black dragon clan of betrayal and scheming, not anyone else.

So it was.

The reason why the muddy voice that followed was unexpected.

“Do I really need to believe it?”

“I want to know what Hasneti meant.”

He took the cigarette from her arms and put it in her mouth and flicked her fingers to light it.

Hasneti replied quietly.

“It doesn’t matter if Li Qingyu can be trusted or if the work is right or for what purpose.”

“…Then what does it matter?”

“That Li Qingyu has become strong enough to defeat the Sword Master.”

“…”

“Even if we decide to punish, do you think it is possible to force it if Li Qingyu refuses to do it?”

“Are you saying that you, the Red Dragon Princess, will not be punished because you are afraid to fight?”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

After saying it with a cold face like always.

Hasneti vomited out a puff of cigarette smoke and continued with a voice that was deeper than usual.

“I don’t mean to avoid fighting. It means that the opponent we have to fight now is not Li Qingyu, but the World Federation.”

There are still sword masters in the World Federation.

They don’t know what else they’ll do.

Causing a self-restraint to punish Li Ching-yu in this situation will only harm the entire Seven Dragons.

neither right nor wrong.

belief and reliability.

Ainsha shut her mouth at Hasneti’s point, who neglected everyone and spoke only of the logic of power.

The story that was too much like the Red Dragon Princess was, however, the most realistic claim that has ever been made.

But that didn’t change the meaning.

no matter how strong

You can forgive Li Qingyu.

I can’t believe it because it hasn’t changed.

“There’s nothing I can do about it now that it’s like this.”

Himself and Ainsha who insisted on punishment.

Hasneti and Yekathrice objected.

The only person who has not yet revealed his intentions in a situation where each other’s votes are completely split in half.

In other words, seeing the most trustworthy and fair princess in the Seven Dragons, who naturally came to hold the casting boat, Maia said coldly.

“Rose, you decide.”
