Chapter 307

#307. I won’t tolerate it.

Upon hearing Charlotte’s call, Rose did not immediately answer.

I just closed my eyes.

‘…at last.’

since the letter was received.

I had a vague foreboding.

He said he would have to make a choice at this Seven Dragons’ meeting.

It was obvious that Limon’s dragon psionics would be revealed, so he couldn’t stay a step back forever.

And her answer was fixed from the beginning.

Rose is the Blue Dragon Princess.

She was a more righteous princess than anyone else.

In the Seven Dragons, the ultimate justice is to resurrect the dragon and create a utopia.

However, it was close to impossible for her to collect a majority share.

Because she is naive and can’t tolerate injustice, she can’t tolerate dictators like Catherine or tyrants like Hasneti.

Neither Charlotte, who is arrogant and unyielding to anyone, nor Li Qingyu, whose instinct is to conspire, will not follow her.

In that sense, the answer Rose had to take was to entrust her share to Charlotte, as did Yekatrice and Hasneti.

either to prevent war.

Either to resurrect the dragon.

It was clear that it was the best answer for the entire Seven Dragons.

But…

‘Can I really do that?’

Limon is by no means an easy opponent.

No matter how much there is a contract of balance, if you get a majority of the shares, Limon will become an existence that no one can control.

If he wasn’t careful, he could have lost the entire Seven Dragons.

But Rose hesitated not because she was afraid of Charlotte failing.

To put it bluntly, the opposite.

It was because I didn’t know if Charlotte would succeed.

As long as she promised to share the dragon psionics fairly, she would definitely keep her promise.

And that also meant that Limon would be shared as a public property of the Seven Dragons.

‘You’re going to use him again?’

After imagining that future.

Rose unknowingly clenched her fists.

The desire for exclusivity inherent in being a princess.

Respect as a knight.

Most of all, when she was exhausted from being slandered by Carol in London.

The memory of the night I fell asleep leaning on his shoulder as he played for me in the moonlit garden, affirming that hypocrisy is also good.

It made me feel disgust beyond my instinctive reluctance to use Limon like an object.

‘I…’

A sense of duty as a princess of the Seven Dragons.

Extremely personal and ambiguous feelings.

As if feeling the sway of Rose, who was in conflict between them, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and looked at her.

“Why don’t you answer, Rose? What you need to do for our Seven Dragons should be clear.”

“….”

Her answer was decided anyway.

Rose bit her lip at Charlotte’s urging to dig into her heart more sharply, as if it were absolutely obvious.

right at that moment.

A dull voice was heard.

“Wait a minute. I will answer first.”

“You mean Ainsha?”

“That’s right.”

It was an unexpected intervention.

To Charlotte or any other princess.

Even Rose, who was given a reprieve thanks to that, and Tata, who was watching from behind, put on a bit of a puzzled expression.

However, the always expressionless white-haired girl paid no attention to the unexpected stares of the other princesses.

I just looked back at Limon.

“There is something to check before the league.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to know what will happen to Li Qingyu once we prove our qualifications.”

“…!”

The other princesses raised their eyes.

It was because he realized that he had overlooked Li Qingyu because he was swept away by the unexpected offer.

Even more surprising was the fact that Ainsha was the first to point it out.

but only one.

Only Limon was unmoved.

Rather, he just slightly twisted his lips as if it were funny to ask a question that he should have heard.

Of course, it’s only for a moment.

Like when did you laugh?

With a cold expression on his face, he replied calmly.

“The Black Dragon Princess also has to prove her qualifications.”

“…Even Li Qingyu?”

“Because that’s how it’s fair.”

Li Qingyu had already proved her qualifications as a bride by the time she proposed marriage in exchange for half of Leviathan’s share.

But that was in the past.

There is a way to resurrect the dragon.

As long as she is the princess of the Seven Dragons.

Li Qingyu also has to prove his qualifications anew.

Limon, who made a callous declaration that the other princesses would find unexpected, continued talking quietly as he looked at Li Qingyu, who had a calm expression on his face.

“However, it is clear that she is already my fiancée.”

no matter how things have changed

He swore on the sword that he would never abandon her, and he still does.

“So, until you prove your qualifications, the Black Dragon Princess will be my one and only bride, and I will also be her groom.”

“Hmm Swordsman, you mean Li Qingyu’s advantage is that you help? Are the rest of the conditions equal?”

“That’s how it is.”

“Ahaha! Indeed, that is quite fair.”

Yekathrice giggled.

If the girls had to engage in an all-out war with Limon, it wouldn’t have been fair.

Limon, the last sword master.

Li Qingyu, the best tactician of the Seven Dragons.

If the two of them are together, even if the other six clans join forces, there will be no guarantee of victory.

However, as long as he professed to test his qualifications to become a priest, Limon wouldn’t try to take the stake by force.

Then, Li Qingyu was not their competitor.

Not only did she have only half of Leviathan’s share left, but there was no princess who would entrust her share to her, who is naturally prone to treachery and scheming.

“All right. Then I leave my stake to Li Qingyu.”

So it was.

Yekathrice was petrified with a smile.

Take a second to blink as if you don’t know what you just heard.

Barely coming to her senses, she asked shyly.

“Hey Ainsha…? I think I just heard something wrong. what did you just say?”

“I said that 100% of Tiamat’s shares and 7% of Leviathan’s shares would all be entrusted to Li Qingyu.”

“…!”

That answer was the decisive blow.

Realizing that she hadn’t heard wrong, Catherine opened her mouth like an idiot.

It wasn’t just because she was frivolous.

It was to the point that the other princesses, as well as Li Qingyu, who suddenly received a share, put on a puzzled expression.

“wait for a sec. It looks like you’ve been fooled by Li Chingyuen again…!”

“It is not cheating. It has nothing to do with Li Qingyu. This is a reasonable decision.”

“Where is that reasonable?!”

“It’s the same as Yekathrice entrusting her shares to Charlotte.”

Yekathrice was distraught.

Charlotte, on the other hand, put on an expression of interest.

Just looking at Li Qingyu’s reaction, it was possible to see that Ainsha’s action was an unexpected action that had not been discussed in advance.

“You mean you think Li Qingyu is more suitable than me to be our representative?”

“Li Qingyu is Li’s bride. Li also helps Li Qingyu. So, if you only collect shares, you have the highest chance of being recognized.”

“…Gathering stakes is the second problem, and the most important thing is how far you can move the swordsman’s heart.”

“That’s right.”

“That makes sense.”

Seeing Ainsha answer expressionlessly, Charlotte laughed.

Then he asked with a deeper smile.

“But Ainsha, can you really trust Li Qingyu?”

There is no law that Li Qingyu will reciprocate even if you give him a stake.

Hearing those words that seemed almost openly alienating him, the others as well as Li Qingyu nodded in agreement.

Ainsha responded immediately.

“I don’t believe it.”

“…”

“Li Qingyu is a liar. I cheated a lot. You are an idiot if you believe.”

“So you’re going to entrust the stake to Li Qingyu like an idiot?”

“I don’t trust Li Qingyu.”

speak bluntly

Ainsha turned her head.

And while everyone was embarrassed and suspicious, he was the only person who kept calm.

Looking straight into Limon’s golden eyes, which were still calm, he continued his expressionless expression.

“Instead, I believe in Li, who believes in Li Qingyu.”

Even if Li Qingyu tried to scam him, Limon wouldn’t wait.

Say you believe in that fact.

The white-haired girl looked back at the black-haired girl.

“Above all, the time has come for me to keep my promise to Li Qingyu, so all I have to do is keep it. So, Li Qingyu works hard and becomes the swordsman’s bride.”

“Ainsha, you…”

“Instead, I will be Lee’s wife. Li Qingyu does the hard work and I only take advantage of it. It is a genius idea.”

“…That’s the true intention.”

It was a moment to look at Ainsha with a complicated expression unlike her.

Li Qingyu finally smiled bitterly.

If you’re trying to resurrect a dragon by receiving dragon psionics, supporting Charlotte would be a more reliable way.

But because that’s not enough.

Because I want more from him.

I want to be his true lover.

Ainsha realized that putting Li Qingyu as Charlotte’s opponent was a ‘plot’ of fishermen’s geography to prove her qualifications in her own way.

It was truly Einsha-like to reveal his ulterior motives at all, but…

for a white dragon clan, it was definitely an amazing idea.

So it was.

Rose asked with a hard face.

“Ainsha, is that the wisdom you saw?”

“Yes, it is not.”

“…then on what basis did you make such a reckless decision?”

In response to Rose’s question, Ainsha opened her chest and said with an expressionless face.

“It’s a feeling as a woman.”

“….”

Rose was silent at that confidently bold statement.

Ainsha’s eyes did not waver even after making an absurd gamble on reckless grounds that would make even the listeners dumbfounded.

It was because it gave her a shock as if she had been covered with icy water when she couldn’t make any decision.

“Ahaha! It’s a choice I made as a woman before becoming a princess… If that’s the case, then it makes sense.”

Maybe it was because he heard such shocking words that he rather came to his senses.

For a while, he giggled cheerfully, as if the mesmerized appearance from a while ago was a lie.

“By the way, Ainsha, do you know this?”

Ekathrice suddenly stopped laughing.

And he tilted his head.

“Your giving Li Ching-yu a stake means that you will be hostile to Charlotte as well as me, who decided to entrust the stake to Charlotte.”

Like a doll with broken joints.

With his neck bent at an odd angle.

Looking straight at Ainsha with her transparent shining eyes.

Yekathrice asked.

“You dare to go against this ‘sister’ now?”

That moment.

Tata was about to run away.

It was because the creepy momentum and eerie eyes emanating from Yekathrice made her feel an instinctive sense of danger.

Nevertheless, there is one reason why Tata was able to stop.

“It doesn’t matter. If Lee is on this side, we will win even if we fight.”

‘princess…!’

In the past, he would have averted his eyes or ran away and hid behind him.

When Tata opens her eyes wide as she sees Ainsha, who trembles but steadfastly deflects Yekathrice’s gaze.

Catherine, on the other hand, laughed.

Curling your lips like a crescent moon.

like really having fun.

“okay? Shall we try it?”

“I’m going to jump in anyway. Lee will deal with you.”

“…Ainsha. The Swordsman hasn’t said anything yet, so why are you arbitrarily declaring war?”

Would you call this hogahowi?

Or maybe it’s called Yonggongwi.

Since she was attached to the sword master, she had nothing to fear even if all the other princesses attacked her.

Indeed, looking at Ainsha speaking confidently, Ekatriche raised her psionics with a creepy smile.

The moment when Li Qingyu sighed and tried to intervene when he saw the situation that seemed like a fight between the Seven Dragons, which he wanted to avoid the most.

bang!

“stop!”

Yekathrice hesitated.

It wasn’t because of the sudden shouting.

It was because the person who drew attention by slashing the floor with the sheath was such an unexpected person.

“Ainsha, I’ve heard enough of your opinion, so please stop provoking more than this.”

Unlike when he hesitated after being urged by Charlotte.

“And Yekathrice, we each have our own choices. So we cannot persecute you just because you did not side with us.”

The blue-haired princess spoke firmly while standing with her sword on the floor.

“If someone tries to force other clans by force, they will have to deal with me first.”

Looking at Rose, who believed that she would support Charlotte even for the sake of the Seven Dragons.

Yekathrice lost the creepiness she had just a moment ago and put on an absurd expression.

Because he noticed that she had actually warned him.

“Could it be that you, Rose, are also going to side with Li Qingyu?”

“no.”

“Then what did you just mean?”

At Yekathrice’s question, Rose closed her eyes for a moment.

She was naive, and she could neither unconditionally side with Limon out of personal feelings nor, conversely, force him into the cause of the Seven Dragons.

Choosing the former goes against her convictions.

If you choose the latter, the dragon will be resurrected, but you will never be able to comfortably listen to him again.

So I’ve been hesitant until now.

However, I realized after seeing Ainsha who confidently made an absurd choice.

He knew that his job was not to worry while looking at Limon and the others.

So said Rose.

to be proud of yourself.

By doing so, you have the choice to prove your qualifications in your own way.

“I mean I will choose neutral.”

“…What are you saying?”

“I said neutral.”

Rose repeatedly said to Yekathrice, who was bewildered with all her might.

Then he looked back at the other princesses and said it over and over again.

“Charlotte or Li Ching-wee or Ainsha or Yekatrice you or whoever is fine.”

never blatantly.

However, with a smile that seems to be invisible.

As if he knew it would be like this, he looked at Limon, who was calmly watching him.

“I will delegate all of my stake to someone who is recognized as qualified by the swordsmith and proves that he can lead the Seven Dragons in the best way.”

no one takes sides

The noble princess, who had chosen the path of protecting everyone by doing so, turned her head away.

And he confidently finished his declaration, looking straight at the strongest princess of the Seven Dragons.

“On the contrary, I will not tolerate anyone who does anything harmful to the Seven Dragons through excessive competition.”
