Solo Swordmaster

#874. Will it be so?

Squeeze.

center of Brazil.

Quetzalcoatl’s headquarters are two buildings spiraling in the middle of Sao Paulo.

Because it is close to the Geomryonghae and there are many injured, the rooftop of the place where all the princesses and the Chilryongs were accommodated after the sword fight.

In a beautifully decorated floating garden.

He tilted his glass.

gulp.

a drink.

a drink.

another cup.

Refilling and emptying the glass without saying a word, taking out new bottles and stacking empty bottles over and over again.

As if recalling past memories.

Limon was just watching.

The moon shining softly in the night sky.

And the anguish that melts into that moonlight.

“The Viscount is not good for you.”

how much time has passed

When a few empty bottles are piled up.

Limon calmly replied to the calm voice that came from behind.

“Well, I guess I’d rather be fortunate if my body wasn’t going to get better this much.”

Sitting next to him, who quietly said that being unable to get drunk no matter how much he drank was the downside of being invincible.

Li Qingyu held up a bottle of wine.

Limon’s cup was served.

However, unlike before, he did not empty the glass straight away.

Calmly look at the glass of wine filled with the moon.

It just opened its mouth.

“It’s new, but a lot has happened since I met you.”

Limon remembered.

while he was still at PAB.

The memory of meeting Li Qingyu for the first time.

and then laughed

It was a shocking experience even for him who had lived for hundreds of years that the princess of the Seven Dragons, whom he had been against for the rest of his life, came to him and even proposed to him.

…Including the fact that he himself eventually accepted the marriage proposal.

That wasn’t all.

Get Seven Arcs.

Meet the resurrected Yuna-kyung.

Fighting the ghosts of the Liberation Brigade.

The sword masters are resurrected.

Stop the demon from descending on Russia.

Even fighting all sorts of wars with the World Federation.

In terms of duration, it is only a year and a few months.

It’s a blink of an eye for an immortal, if not common people.

It was the first time in his life over hundreds of years that he had experienced such a series of major events in such a short period of time.

More than anything…

“I didn’t know that I would turn into such an asshole until I got engaged to you.”

Not hundreds of years ago.

I never imagined that in this era, seven people would marry all the princesses of the Seven Dragons.

Listen to what Limon said.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“Because the swordsman is too great for me to monopolize.”

“Because of the dragon psionic?”

“In the sense that if I had been the only one who became the swordsman’s bride, I might have lost my back a long time ago.”

“…sorry for overdoing it.”

“Whoops, apologies. Rather, it is something I am happy and proud of.”

It seems a bit embarrassing.

Even with a slight blush on his cheeks.

With a round smile.

Li Qingyu added a word.

“So don’t worry about the swordsman.”

“What are you worrying about?”

Was it because it was unexpected?

Or was it because I was caught off guard?

Li Qingyu quietly replied to him.

“—Your disciple is to be saved.”

That moment.

The moon of the wine glass shook.

It happened very briefly and quietly.

However, his gaze was fixed on the obvious blue, and he opened his mouth after a while.

“Do you know what you are talking about?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

“It’s as good as the day I spent my first night with the swordsman.”

Limon closed his eyes.

After all, he had just heard and realized that Shir had also confided everything to Li Qingyu.

“The Madou Queen told me. Originally, you shouldn’t trust witches too much.”

“…because you look like a damn old woman.”

Even though Limon muttered abusive words at Li Qingyu’s message, in the end, Limon couldn’t blame Shir.

I should have kept my mouth shut.

Because all of this was his fault for not doing such an obvious thing because he was emotionally agitated in the end.

Of course, it was also because of Sir, who deceived himself as if he would keep his secret by speaking alone.

That’s why, to Limon, who fell into bitter silence.

Li Qingyu said calmly.

“Swordsmith, you kept your promise to me.”

last year.

The Seven Dragons Branch opens.

When the truth about the eighth dragon psionic is revealed, infighting almost breaks out.

Li Qing-yu asked Li Mon, who had asked for a breakup to prevent internal strife, but instead accepted her as his bride.

Bewitched other princesses.

to be saved from an unfortunate fate.

And Limon perfectly fulfilled Li Qingyu’s request.

…a little too much.

However, Li Qingyu never resented Li Mon because he was also the result he had asked for and hoped for.

Instead, I just asked again.

“So please do as you please this time.”

“…”

Are you serious?

Limon didn’t bother to ask.

Just like you asked yourself to break up your marriage in the past.

This time, too, he knew that Li Qingyu had sincerely said this for him.

So it was.

Why did he point out facts instead of affirmations or denials?

“Other princesses won’t understand.”

cowardly

I knew it myself.

But it was also something that had to be pointed out.

Li Qingyu wasn’t the only bride now, and if the other princesses weren’t convinced, there was no telling what kind of ruin his hasty decision would cause.

All the more in that they are descendents of dragons with a strong desire for monopoly.

so the next moment.

Limon put on a puzzled expression.

“Is it really so?”

“…What do you mean?”

“Can you follow me for a moment?”

After smiling brightly.

Take a moment to look at the back of Li Qingyu as he quietly gets up and walks into the darkness.

Eventually, Limon put down his glass and walked after her.

Across the Hanging Gardens.

Ride the rooftop elevator.

After going down several floors.

The moment the closed door opened.

ding.

“Is the story over now?”

“…Pharaoh?”

why is she here

To Limon who made a puzzled expression.

Hasneti didn’t bother explaining.

I just put another cigarette butt in the ashtray next to me and turned around.

“Follow me.”

It seems that he has come this far.

Li Qingyu stepped aside slightly.

And instead, Hasneti takes the lead.

Limon, looking at the two princesses, followed Hasneti.

I was walking along a dark passageway under sparsely turned on lights to save power at such a late hour.

A hoarse voice came from nowhere.

“Limon I am yours.”

“…”

“So don’t mind me and do what you want to do.”

before becoming a bride.

as a slave to love.

whatever he chooses

He says he just follows.

Limon, who hesitated for a moment as he watched her silently move forward after speaking quietly, moved on again with a complicated look on his face.

And…

Kik.

“Welcome to Lee.”

“…silly princess, what are you doing here again?”

“From now on, I am in charge. So, Lee is alone.”

With her feeble chest wide open.

A white-haired girl who greeted Limon with an expressionless face.

Instead of explaining, Ainsha grabbed him by the sleeve and pulled him into the room.

And while Hasneti closed the door and stepped back, she pulled out the gift wrapped around her finger.

Sseuseuk.

Right after I thought that the gifts spread according to the form of the celestial body were wrapped around Limon’s whole body.

It starts with the Foundation.

Cut Limon’s clothes bit by bit.

The color and design of the clothes are changed little by little, filling the void by intertwining with cloth that is more precious than the same weight of gold.

In the middle of the delicate embroidery.

Ainsha said bluntly.

“I got a ring from Lee for the third time. But I like Lee the most.”

“….”

“Just don’t forget that.”

With an expressionless face as always.

However, after finishing the embroidery with a slightly deep voice, he cut off the cloth thread with his fingernails.

Ainsha opened the door at the back.

“and! As expected, our Ainsha skills are the best! Do you think so too?”

“okay.”

“Huh, that’s how it should be. Whose sister, whose bride?”

A silver-haired girl suddenly appeared.

Yekathrice nodded her head in satisfaction when she saw Limon dressed neatly in her new clothes.

And I moved briskly across the aisle.

“Actually, I don’t care what my brother chooses. Ainsha agreed, and taking back the cheating brother would be thrilling in its own way.”

Leaving Ainsha in the room.

To Limon who follows him.

After speaking lightly as if humming.

Yekathrice suddenly looked back.

“Instead, don’t forget one thing.”

“…”

“―You said you would kill my brother if he made you cry.”

It took a while to stare at Limon with sharp eyes.

After laughing again, Catherine, who took the lead, finished guiding.

The moment I opened the door in front of me,

I heard a languid voice.

Sigh.

“You are late.”

“…”

“What are you doing without coming in?”

After Limon came in.

The blonde beauty snapped her fingers and closed the door to which Yekathrice was waving.

Charlotte looked slowly up and down Limon, just as he was sitting cross-legged.

Then, after nodding his head as if it wasn’t bad, he flicked his fingers and telekinetically launched several objects into the air.

Squeak.

Gold is transformed.

silver melts

Jewels are cut and hammered.

Get up only after the jewelry made of various precious metals is completed.

Charlotte lazily opened her mouth as she handed the ornaments to Limon one by one.

“Don’t worry about useless things again. Everyone knew that you were a bastard anyway…”

“….

“—Because the owner is mine anyway.”

Even in a single room.

let no one hear

After whispering in his ear.

Charlotte took a step to the side with her arms crossed as if nothing had happened.

And then he snapped his fingers again.

Sigh.

“I will guide you from now on.”

A blue-haired beauty appeared from the wide open door.

Rose held out a hand, and Limon nodded slowly and moved on.

And the moment I held her hand.

Phaging.

space is distorted.

The surrounding landscape changes.

Limon put on a puzzled expression.

I thought it would be moved to a place where other princesses are waiting, just like before.

This is because the place that crossed the space was in the middle of an empty hospital room with no one there.

what are you trying to do here

The moment when Limon was about to ask.

back.

so suddenly

A warmth layered on his lips.

So that each other’s warmth is mixed.

After holding their lips together for a long time, they slowly removed their faces.

Rose opened her mouth.

“I don’t want to lose you.”

“…”

“To no one.”

“…”

“But I hate it even more to see you unhappy because of me.”

but the most virtuous.

Because of that, he is the most corrupt.

But the bride who loved him that much said with a sad smile on her face.

“Please make a choice that will make you happy.”

Phaging.

his answer.

Rose didn’t wait.

Immediately after crossing the space again.

Leaving only Limon behind, he disappeared into space again.

And it was a slender beauty with green hair who spoke to him, who was left alone.

“The preparations are already finished.”

“…”

“So take care of yourself.”

As always, pessimistically.

But more cynically speaking.

Maia left the place as it was.

But unlike before, Limon did not follow suit.

Instead, he approached the all-too-familiar door where Maia was leaning.

coogu palace.

“…!”

the moment the door opened.

Limon hardened as it was.

An artificial flower garden full of kihwayocho.

It wasn’t just because of the various decorations that made the place more splendid.

in the middle of it.

Above the round magic circle.

on a luxurious bed.

With eyes closed as if dead.

Lying flat without any movement.

Looking at the white dress worn by a well-groomed silver-haired beauty.

…In the bridal chamber prepared for him by the seven princesses, he had no choice but to remain silent for a long time.
