Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 392

#392. It’s simple.

“…”

“Don’t mind if it’s wiretapping. Because there are no ears to eavesdrop.”

Truly a one-off.

Of course, having already determined that she had joined hands with Yekatrice, he asked her purpose.

At the end of looking at Limon with an expressionless face, who even knew why he couldn’t answer carelessly.

Ainsha finally opened her mouth.

“…Before I answer, I’d like to hear how you knew I was holding hands with Catherine.”

“There are many reasons.”

Limon shrugged.

It’s not just that Yekathrice, who could have snatched Tiamat’s share, willingly accepted Ainsha’s offer.

That Yekathrice came to meet me.

The failure to stop the sniper attack by the revolutionary army.

Provoking him with a gulag, etc.

Because there were too many things to just go through.

Enough to doubt that all of this was a deliberately concocted plan.

And if this is a ploy to openly show off the conflict between the Silver Dragon clan and the Revolutionary Army, and get Limon in the middle.

The one who can cooperate with Yekathrice and direct the situation as desired.

In other words, there was only one ‘traitor’.

“Because even you were a little strange before you left.”

“I don’t know what was wrong with me.”

“I’m talking about entrusting the distribution of food for the Holy Alliance to the Black Dragon clan.”

Entrusting food distribution to Li Qingyu means giving the Holy Alliance the right to control the food itself.

And once the distribution network is dominated, the Black Dragon Clan will be able to exercise overwhelming influence over the food distribution of the Holy Alliance in the future.

They had suffered from food shortages until now, but as soon as they overcame it, they gave lifelines to other clans.

It was an act that made no sense.

Especially considering the characteristics of a princess who is obsessed with her domain.

“If you don’t have a different ulterior motive, it’s strange no matter how you think about it, that you followed me to the point of entrusting the work of the Holy Alliance to someone else.”

“…I wonder why you allowed me to accompany you, knowing that far.”

Ainsha pointed out inadvertently.

If he was suspicious, he would have refused to accompany him.

No matter how much I followed my intuition, I couldn’t figure out the reason why he allowed me to accompany him.

Limon’s answer to that was simple.

“Are you allied with our princess?”

“…”

Ainsha was the only one who supported her when no princess of the Seven Dragons sided with Li Qingyu.

I know there was a calculation.

However, thanks to that, it is clear that Li Qingyu overcame the hurdle.

Considering that debt, as long as Ainsha doesn’t explicitly betray her, it’s only natural that he should trust her as an ally.

Referring to ‘Dori’, which was rare in the present era as well as in the old era.

Limon asked quietly.

“I think my answer would be enough. How about it?”

he replied

Now it’s her turn to answer.

Even after coming to this situation, rather than doubting her, it took a long time to look at Limon, who calmly asked for an explanation, with an expressionless face.

Ainsha quietly closed her eyes.

‘Unexpected.’

This shouldn’t have happened.

No, to be precise, it shouldn’t have been this timing.

If it was originally predicted, it was only after the plan had progressed a little more that Limon noticed this fact.

Still, Ainsha was not taken aback.

Because I already knew from experience that foreknowledge against Limon is as meaningless as a street fortune teller’s card game.

‘…sooner than expected. But that’s okay. It is still within the expected range.’

After all, what would have happened one day just happened a little faster.

After thinking carefully.

Ainsha opened her closed eyes.

Then he looked straight at Limon and asked bluntly.

“Are you curious about my purpose?”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious.”

“Decoration of Yekathrice is complicated. But my purpose is simple.”

That moment.

A change has happened.

The eyebrows, which had been as calm as the horizon, slanted.

The corners of the lips, which were elegant, are slightly twisted.

The eyes, which had been transparently reflecting the inside, sank.

He had a smile on his always expressionless face.

The purest princess of the Seven Dragons revealed her purpose to Limon.

“Become a bad girl and be recognized as worthy to be Lee’s bride.”

* * *

For a moment.

Limon fell silent.

It wasn’t just that I got a very unexpected answer.

A smile appeared on her always doll-like face.

More than anything else, the brilliance that appeared in those transparent eyes forced him to look at Ainsha in silence.

seeing him so silent

Wear a brighter smile.

Ainsha took a slight step.

that buck

like taking a walk.

much slower

so quietly

Come over to the sofa he was sitting on.

She sat softly on the armrest and tickled Limon’s cheek with her white hair.

Ainsha whispered to him.

“Li Li smells good.”

Her voice was flat as if she were reading a book, so her voice was uncharacteristic of the world’s greatest singer.

Therefore, just by adding faint ups and downs, the whisper naturally shakes the heart and makes you feel confused.

It is literally demonic.

A ecstatic sound that is harder to ignore because it is a sword master with sensitive five senses.

“But there are other smells mixed in.”

But I could feel Limon.

The chill in the depths of that beautiful voice.

And Ainsha did not bother to hide her feelings.

Rather, he only showed cold displeasure like a beast upon seeing someone arbitrarily marking his territory on his precious treasure.

“—It smells like Li Qingyu.”

“…”

“Can you explain why Li smells like Li Qingyu?”

Looking at the silent Limon.

Ainsha laughed quietly.

Other princesses might not have noticed.

However, only she, who is sensitive even in the Seven Dragons, could feel the faint traces of Li Qingyu in the strong scent of Limon’s dragon psionic.

Even more now that the scent is thicker than before.

maybe four days

Or maybe five days?

Ainsha couldn’t guess how long the scent could permeate.

Instead, I could imagine.

When I visited Li Qingyu in the hospital.

What an enchanting smell it must have been if she hadn’t covered it up with decoctions and scented candles.

and another one.

“It’s not just the smell of Li Qingyu. There is also the smell of rose, albeit faintly.”

If it was a moderate scent, it would have disappeared, buried in Li Qingyu’s scent.

Saying that I don’t know how deeply it has permeated so I can still feel the traces.

Ainsha laughed.

“Father Lee said he would take the qualification test. But even before the test results came out, he accepted the bride.”

“Rose said she would be fair and neutral, and everyone betrayed her.”

“Li Qingyu ignored my warning and cut in line again.”

“It’s all against the rules.”

The white-haired girl pointed out.

If it was a sports game, it would be an act of dishonesty, betrayal, and rule violation that would have nothing to say even if it was forfeited as well as receiving a red card right away.

Of course it’s for sports.

As long as Rose, who should be fair, took the lead in betraying, and Limon, the product and the rule itself, ignored the rule.

There is no one who can punish them.

“I realized thanks to him.”

“…what did you realize?”

“It means that you need a lot of determination to get what you really want.”

I thought I just had to do my best, but that wasn’t enough.

throw everything away

betray everyone else

Even if you do something bad.

He said he had to make up his mind to get Limon, and that the proof was the most cunning Li Qingyu and Rose, who betrayed everyone.

With a mysteriously empty smile.

In a soft but emotional voice.

The girl who has always been like a doll speaks with a clear human scent.

“That’s why I decided to become a traitor.”

If only a bad girl who can break the rules and deceive everyone can become Limon’s bride, then she will too.

It’s so simple.

So more intense.

Hear the unshakable determination.

Limon opened his mouth after silence.

“…Is that why you joined hands with the mad princess? To betray Li Qingyu and prove her qualifications as my bride?”

“you’re right. But it is wrong.”

“What do you mean?”

“I will betray that Catherine too.”

“…”

“It’s obvious that Yekathrice is also planning to use and harass me anyway.”

Only slightly better than Li Qingyu.

In terms of being unbelievable, even she is at odds.

Yekatrice is the worst in terms of being able to betray her because she thinks it will be fun, regardless of gain or loss.

Ainsha, who declared without hesitation, continued.

“So I also use Yekatrice. At this point, Li Qingyu also pushes away. That’s how you become Lee’s bride.”

“….”

“The bad girl is complete.”

That she would deceive and betray everyone, become the worst woman and take the place of Limon’s bride.

Listening to the soft whispered words and keeping silent with a complicated face for a while.

Limon slowly raised a hand.

and scratching

scratched his cheek

“…a stupid princess.”

“I am not that stupid princess. From now on, they call me the bad princess.”

“No that… It’s kind of hard to say that.”

At the end of his speech, as if he didn’t know what to say, uncharacteristically of what he said without hesitation.

Limon continued with a very subtle face.

“It seems that the other princesses are already doing all the bad things you say…?”

* * *

I forgot.

One time to close and open your eyes.

The white-haired girl tilted her head.

He didn’t say a word, and his face was still smiling.

Even so, ‘I don’t know what you mean’, said Limón, looking at the white-haired girl who seemed to have something written on her forehead.

“In the first place, there’s no way all princesses can compete for shares fairly.”

Collecting half of the shares of the Seven Dragons Association is, in fact, almost impossible in a legitimate way.

Charlotte has a chance.

It was only natural that the other princesses who couldn’t beat her in a battle of money secretly found another way.

Even if it was Hasneti right now, he tried to monopolize Limon, ignoring alliances, and Yekathrice joined hands with Ainsha.

“Even the proud Gold Dragon Princess wouldn’t believe in the alliance right away.”

Charlotte knows that too.

Perhaps she secretly prepared to keep the silver dragon and red dragon clans in check.

She was more arrogant than anyone else, so even other princesses couldn’t completely trust the alliance.

In particular, from the moment Rose, the conscience of the Seven Dragons, became corrupted, this competition became a mess based on betrayal and conspiracy.

…I think there was at least one naive princess who didn’t know about it.

Should I be relieved that even the last princess realized the situation?

Or should I just stand at the starting line and lament being elated as if I had done something really bad?

very upset

Limon said shyly.

“So I guess it’s hard to call you a bad princess just because you betrayed a little bit.”

“….”

An alliance is formed when mutual understanding is met in the end.

That’s why it’s natural to turn away from an alliance if the gains and losses don’t match, and in that sense, Ainsha’s betrayal isn’t particularly bad.

Like Noh Kang-ho, who has been through all kinds of mayhem, he blinked several times while looking at Limon, who pointed out.

Ainsha opened her mouth again.

“…but it’s okay. This proves me right. In the end, everyone just cheats and takes advantage of it.”

“Well, methodologically, that’s not wrong either…”

Scratched again.

“Would that be possible?”

That leeching.

And Yekatrice.

all the other princesses.

Is it possible for Ainsha to cheat and use it?

Ainsha answered without hesitation when asked by Limon, trying not to reveal his growing skepticism as much as possible.

“of course. For that reason, I practiced laughing a lot these days.”

“…what practice did you do?

“It’s a practice to smile.”

The surface acting on the lie is the default.

And since she practiced the smile of a girl who is better at lying than anyone else, it would be easy to fool other princesses.

Looking at Ainsha, who smiled brightly and assured me, Limon realized.

The moment I saw that smile.

The identity of the sense of incongruity he felt.

His expression was so blurry that it was difficult to make out, but the atmosphere was familiar to him.

“…If you imitate Li Qingyu and laugh, you won’t become good at lying, right?”

“it’s okay. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. You’ve learned the basics, now you can learn more.”

“I’m asking just in case, but the one who told you that…”

“Of course it’s Tata.”

Why?

The image of a white-haired woman clapping her hands in admiration and saying, “You’re great, Princess!” came to mind.

Limon asked again, trying to hold back the pain in his head.

“That… First of all, apart from other things. Why are you revealing all your ulterior motives?”

“Because Lee asked.”

“But you don’t have to reveal everything you know about Mijoo, right? I must have practiced lying to use it at times like this.”

“it’s okay. I was going to tell Lee anyway.”

“…What do you mean by that again?”

Now he is helping Li Qingyu, and he also acknowledges Rose’s qualifications.

So, if Ainsha truly intended to betray and use all the princesses, she should have hidden this fact from him as well.

But why did you mean to say everything?

Limon asked anxiously.

Ainsha answered confidently.

“I’m not stupid. I know that if you do bad things without Lee’s knowledge, you might get hated by Lee.”

Being hated by Limon after rashly betraying her was a situation that Ainsha had to avoid.

However, if it stays like this, Limon will be taken away by another princess, just as Li Qingyu and Rose were pushed out.

Truly a quandary.

However, Ainsha solved this unanswerable contradiction with a genius idea.

“So I’ll get Lee’s permission and do bad things.”

“…”

If you’re worried about being hated by Limon, wouldn’t it be okay to check with yourself and do something bad so you don’t get hated?

With a small chest wide open.

In a very elated manner.

as if to be praised.

But at the end of staring at Ainsha, who speaks with a strangely incomprehensible smile.

Limon covered his face with both hands.

And I thought in my headache.

‘How can I like her…’

How can I take responsibility for turning this foolish princess who lived only looking at the future into a fool who ignores reality because she is blinded by love?

Limon couldn’t help but groan in the vagueness of not knowing the answer.
