Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 571

#571. cheer up.

“Guardian of Africa… is that Red Dragon Princess you mean?”

“Is it hard to believe?”

“Honestly, yes.”

Even at the words of the princess he respected, Lucas couldn’t hide his dubious expression.

Called the tyrant of Africa, among the seven princesses of the Seven Dragons, Hasneti is the most notorious along with Catherine.

That’s why she’s a guardian.

Because there was no word more appropriate than this.

However, Rose, who was often at odds with Hasneti, spoke calmly.

“Even as Hasneti, I don’t think I did it because I wanted to. It was just something I had to do.”

“Why?”

“Because in order to be recognized by him, she would have needed to show that kind of determination as well.”

“…?”

Leaving Lucas with an expression that seemed to know.

Rose closed her eyes.

‘Is this the path you chose?’

Hasneti chose the path of hardship.

To put it simply, it was nothing more than an imitation of Limon’s method.

But that was something only the protectors of humanity could do.

It was not easy to follow even if it was limited to one continent by mobilizing the enormous wealth of the Seven Dragons.

Hasneti was even trying to change the very nature of Africa by referring to the policies of the League of Free Cities.

Set the rules for war.

By enforcing the rules.

To give those who want a chance the freedom to fight, but to eliminate innocent sacrifice and damage.

Absolutely absurd.

It was an attempt that even Rose, who operated a military government in Africa for a while, did not dare to dream of.

But…

‘She would do it.’

Rose was sure.

No matter what trials and difficulties there may be, Hasneti will eventually be reborn as the protector of Africa.

When we met in Africa in the past.

If she had said that she would free Limon from the bondage of being the protector of mankind and let him live as he pleased, she would surely.

Either to relieve Limon’s burden, at least for one continent, Africa.

Or to prove that he deserves to be with him by walking down the same path.

‘It’s like the Red Dragon Princess who isn’t afraid of a challenge.’

Although I can never welcome it.

to an undeniable reality.

she laughed bitterly.

It will take considerable time and effort for Hasneti to sign an agreement with the federation, introduce a war agreement in Africa, and change the climate itself.

Instead, if she succeeds, she might be able to become a companion more suitable for Limon than anyone else.

At least, rather than himself, who chose to help and support instead of looking for the answers he was looking for.

‘You’d better be prepared, Hasneti.’

despite knowing that

Rose smiled.

And now, he muttered coldly, thinking of his competitor standing on the starting line.

‘I have no intention of falling behind either.’

[Team leader, I’m sorry.]

“What’s sorry?”

[Of course, you didn’t come to visit me once! Do you know how sad I was?]

“I was busy. Instead, the little aide decided to take good care of it.”

[That is that and this is this. Isn’t it too much to neglect a pet that has made a great achievement!

] After all, do you think it would be more appropriate for you to visit me?”

[I was going to visit the team leader!]

Yuna-kyung grumbled.

I went because I was worried, not because I was bored lying around because Limon didn’t come.

For some reason, Nadia, who was fidgeting in front of the public bath with a flushed face, had to be kicked out in the end.

“It’s okay, just be quiet. Don’t bother me by talking in front of the patient.”

[It’s a nuisance. A cute blue bird like me can be healed just by crying.]

“It’s not cute, it’s annoying.”

[Did you see this?!]

It took a while for me to start bickering with Yuna-kyung on the unmanned vacuum cleaner.

The heart of the royal palace finally arrived.

Limon smiled as he entered the bedroom, which had become almost his own because he was already used to it.

“Hello Pharaoh.”

[Are you feeling okay, soldier sister?]

“…Are you here?”

Limon sat down on the bed.

Then, with one hand, he touched the forehead of Hasneti, who greeted him with only his upper body slightly raised.

“I still have a little fever.”

“It’s nothing to worry about. Just a little…”

“You’re tired from overdoing it?”

“…Yes.”

Hasneti slightly averted her eyes.

It was because when he saw the person who pushed him too hard, he automatically remembered the events of the day and his face became hot.

And Yuna-kyung shook her head.

[Hmm. He was overdoing himself fighting the sword master.]

“….”

“….”

[Why are you doing that? Did I say something strange?]

“No, not really.”

“That was right.”

Yuna-kyung blinked as she saw Limon scratching her cheeks and Hasneti, who now turned her head to hide her face as well as her eyes.

He just said the right thing.

Why do I feel like a nosy observer?

With Yuna-kyung tilting her head, Limon spoke to Hasneti.

“I know you know, but I’m here to say hello.”

“… are you going?”

“For the time being, even the World Federation won’t be able to touch the African side.”

Support for the establishment of the African Commonwealth.

Appeasement of the vassals of Egypt.

to the dispatch of peacekeeping forces.

The efforts and materials that the World Federation poured in in Africa in this short period of time were by no means small.

If one of the 7 guilds had done this on their own, the roots of the pillars would have been pulled out.

Even so, he couldn’t even kill Limon and Hasneti, and only got a bad name.

In this situation, there was no way the monarchs would allow them to touch Africa again.

“Though that doesn’t mean the pharaoh’s hardships will end. On the contrary, from now on, it may become more difficult.”

“The resolution has already been made.”

“know.”

Limon laughed.

Aside from the treatment of the dependents, it would have been enough to divide the war agreement from consultation with the Federation.

The fact that she had to publicize it in a big way showed her determination to never give up.

“Limor… no. Limon.”

Looking at him with bloody eyes filled with such determination.

Hasneti asked quietly.

“After I become the guardian of Africa, can I go to meet you?”

“no.”

Watching Hasneti hardened in silence.

Limon laughed mischievously.

“I will come before that.”

“… come and give it to me.”

“You promised to help me at least take responsibility for the Pharaoh’s choices.”

“…”

“Of course, I’m just a swordsman, so even if I came, it wouldn’t be much help…”

Leaned lightly.

Put your mouth on her ear.

Maybe Yuna-kyung won’t hear it.

Limon whispered in a low voice.

“Because we can at least give Pharaoh a ‘prize’ for his good work.”

“…!”

“On the contrary, if you do something wrong, I will give you a ‘punishment’.”

“…!!!”

It was a moment.

How long did it take for Hasneti’s face to turn red like a rosary?

It’s like you want to pull a blanket over yourself.

Even if you grab it with both hands.

I can’t bear to see the ugliness.

Looking at her with her head lowered with a red face, Limon smiled.

“Anyway, Pharaoh is cute.”

“…?!?!”

“Now, in that sense, this is a gift the pharaoh forgot.”

In the end, Limon, who made Hasneti blow up out of shame, held out an object.

1000th piece he made.

I delayed giving it for a while.

The golden bird statue that Hasneti passed out and eventually handed over to him again.

I was too hesitant to accept it before.

However, the moment Hasneti quietly accepted it as he no longer needed to hesitate.

Seruk.

light warmth.

overlapped on the lips.

without mixing your tongue.

didn’t even last long.

A light kiss, like a greeting, that only touched lightly and then fell again.

But that’s why it’s more unfamiliar.

warm rather than hot.

Looking at Hasnetty, who had hardened from the same kiss as greeting, Limon smiled.

“Then do your best, Pharaoh.”

“…”

“Let’s go then. blue.”

[Eh? Eek? Now wait. manager. What did you just do…]

Parzing.

Holding the blue bird with wide eyes open with one hand.

After Limon disappears through space with the bluebird’s unmanned vacuum cleaner.

Hasneti, who was left alone, was as hard as a stone, but after a long time, he woke up and raised both hands.

Go ahead, pull the duvet over.

Hiding a face that was burnt to ashes.

Constantly reminiscing about the feeling he left behind as the owner, not as his concubine.

The bravest princess in the Seven Dragons thought.

That’s just the color of Gyeongguk.

That’s a gross underestimation.

* * *

Paging.

It was a moment.

Limon crosses the space.

The scenery around them has changed.

Both in the same building.

Although the temperature is also regulated.

Nevertheless, it is a place where you can vividly feel the relatively cool air, unlike Egypt, which used to be hot.

To Limon and Yuna-kyung.

It was a girl who greeted the two of them in the spacious penthouse, which they were used to more than anywhere else.

“Welcome, swordsman.”

As if you were waiting

The opponent who greeted him with a smile on his face.

Looking at Li Qingyu, a black-haired girl neatly dressed in an oriental dress, Limon smiled.

“Yes, I went.”

Beating the devil in the Russian Khanate.

While chasing the Liberation Brigade in the United States.

After opening the Seven Dragons branch in Brazil.

Came back for a very short time

Slashing the Sword Saint in the Great East Empire.

I also received treatment in Brazil.

until I went to Africa.

It was the moment when Limon, who had traveled all over the world for more than a few months except for a few days, finally returned to Leviathan.

That was why Li Qingyu smiled a little bitterly.

“I think it would have been better to go to Brazil and receive treatment.”

“I think I don’t need to do that because I feel better than I thought.”

“Have you fought such a fierce battle?”

“Well, luckily there were no major injuries.”

Looking at Limon grinning.

Li Qingyu sighed.

He was also seriously injured in the fight with the swordsman.

There was no way my body would be fine even after engaging in a fierce battle with three sword masters.

Nevertheless, there are several reasons why Limon came to Leviathan right away.

“First of all, Nakyung seems to want to come back soon…”

[Of course. I haven’t seen my younger siblings properly for months now. I want to take a vacation too!]

“More than anything else, I want to know how the World Federation is doing.”

I don’t know if it’s any other information.

Even in the Seven Dragons, Li Qingyu is the only one who knows the secret circumstances of the World Federation.

So, Li Qingyu let out a light sigh when he saw Limon, who had come right away to meet him and check on the progress of the work.

To think of fighting again as soon as the fierce war is over.

Because as a bride, I couldn’t welcome it.

However, Limon is the guardian deity of mankind.

Because he knew that he always put the protection of mankind first, and it was he who she fell in love with.

Instead of forcing Limon to go to Brazil, Li Qingyu decided to accept Limon’s lie that he was fine and opened his mouth.

“I’m telling you this since you’re here… but before anything about the World Federation, there’s something the swordsman needs to know.”

“What do you mean?”

What else could be the problem besides the World Federation?

To the puzzled Limon.

I didn’t want to tell you honestly.

However, Li Qingyu quietly revealed that he had no choice but to speak now that Limon had come.

“There are people who desperately want to see the Swordsman.”
