#154. Whatâs wrong?
* * *
After defeating the Liberation Brigade.
Although Li Qingyu was busy with the aftermath, he was eating every meal.
It wasnât just for health.
It was because it was one of the few times I could meet and chat with Limon even in the midst of this busy schedule.
In that sense, it was not unusual for Li Qingyu to talk during the meal.
âDo you remember what I said before the sword fight?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe story that there might be a princess I can appease.â
âOh that?â
Limon, who was eating fries, nodded immediately.
No matter how important the matter is.
Either because of the specificity of the content.
It was not an ordinary story that could be heard once and forgotten.
However, Li Mon, who nodded casually, also had a puzzled look at Li Qingyuâs words.
âActually, I sent an invitation to the princess this time.â
âhmm? Why did you do such a useless thing?â
âBecause in order to appease, we have to meet first.â
âThatâs the right theory, but even if you invite, itâs useless in the end if you donât come.â
Limon put on a sullen expression.
I wonder if it is an invitation sent by a different person from another country for a different purpose.
Because there was no princess in this country he had kept for hundreds of years who would accept the invitation sent by Li Ching-yu, who was betrothed to him, to appease.
âSo I am telling you now.â
The moment he heard Li Qingyuâs answer.
It was for this reason that Limon made an expression of surprise.
âYou accepted the invitation?â
âYes, Iâve already received a confirmation and Iâm preparing my lodging.â
âI really didnât know there was another princess as brave as you.â
Recalling the meeting with Li Qing-yu, who came to visit him alone and proposed to him, he laughed once.
Limon asked casually as he picked up a Coke.
âSo where are you? If I had accepted your invitation willingly, I would have been either a money-grubber in the United States or an African tyrantâ¦â
âThe Holy League.â
ââ¦Where?â
âI am the White Dragon Princess of the Holy Alliance.â
Limon thought he was very fortunate.
If I had been drinking Coke, I might have created a rare scene where I spouted Coke through my nose.
It was because Li Qingyuâs answer was so unexpected.
âYou mean the White Dragon Princess is on her way?â
âyes.â
âThe princess who is the final boss of those idiots who have been running away for the past hundreds of years to the extent that I can hardly even peep my nose?â
âIt is.â
ââ¦Princess, what the hell have you done?â
Intimidation, threat, intimidation, etc.
What was the magic that made the other princess, no, the princess of the white dragon clan accept the invitation with her own feet?
At Limonâs gaze, which was 100% full of doubt and trust, Li Qingyu smiled.
âI sent you a small present.â
âgift? The White Dragon Princess is coming just because of that?â
âTimes have changed and this country is no longer taboo for us.â
ââ¦thatâs something to live for a long time in the real world.â
Limon shook his head excitedly.
Of course, unlike in the past, the Seven Dragons of today are not hostile to Limon on the surface.
Still, it was really unimaginable in the past that two princesses would gather in this country, which was even called the execution site of the Seven Dragons.
Especially since one of them is the White Dragon Princess.
âWell, to say you accepted the invitation anyway, aside from that. Are you really going to be okay?â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âIâm asking if itâs okay to bring those idiots in.â
Iâm not asking about the possibility of appeasement.
The words that ask if you can appease.
It was a very delicate question for them, who had to gather all the power of the Seven Dragons.
However, Li Qingyu was not puzzled or embarrassed.
He took a bite of the hamburger he was holding, swallowed it, and answered calmly.
âThere must be a problem.â
âDo you think so too?â
âYes, but even taking that into account, the White Dragon clan is worth attracting.â
Li Qingyu cut it short.
And he spoke with a serious face.
âTo find the Liberation Brigade and to find the Seven Arcs. Their foresight will be of great help.â
Foresight, the power to read the future.
The most mysterious power among the seven psionics transmitted to the Seven Dragons.
And seeing Li Qingyu talking about the value of the White Dragon Clan inheriting it, Limon nodded.
âYes, certainly depending on the writing, foresight can be quite helpful.â
About the Liberation Brigade.
As for the Seven Arcs.
The information they had now was so scant that it could hardly be traced properly.
However, with the power of the White Dragon Princess, things change.
The White Dragon Princess is the best prophet.
Because he was an existence that could skip all the process of finding clues and know the answer.
If he borrowed that wisdom, he didnât know if it would be possible to catch the tail of the Liberation Brigade that was secretly hiding, as well as to find the unknown Seven Arcs.
Even so, Limon did not welcome the visit of the White Dragon Princess.
I just gave advice with a serious face.
âBut be careful, princess.â
â[He who knows the future is governed by the future] is that what you mean?â
âhmm? Where did you hear that?â
âTo someone I used to know.â
âI donât know who it is, but you said the right thing.â
Limon, who has lived a long life, has met many prophets.
Thatâs why I knew.
That people who rely on prophecies to end well are rare.
It is also the fact that in most cases, instead of trying to change the future, they bring about misfortune or blindly believe in the prophecies and are destroyed.
It was natural.
If the prophecy had been such a perfect power, the Seven Dragons would not have been defeated by Limon over the past hundreds of years.
âDonât worry about that. I know very well how dangerous it is to peek into the future.â
ââ¦if you know anything, thatâs fine.â
Li Qingyu answered with a smile.
Contrary to her light tone of voice, Limon, who was staring at her deeply sunken eyes, eventually shrugged.
I donât know if anyone else
Li Qingyu would be able to handle that much on his own.
âAnd eat more properly. What is the name of the princess of the seven dragons who eats hamburgers?â
âTime is money.â
âIsnât that a proverb of the Silver Dragon clan?â
âItâs not wrong anyway.â
âAnyway, there is a degree. Look, what is this like with a pretty face?â
Maybe itâs because Iâm not familiar with eating hamburgers.
Seeing the sauce smeared on Li Qingyuâs mouth, Limon clenched his tongue and wiped it off with his fingers.
Then he licked his fingers and murmured as he tasted the sauce.
âWell, itâs homemade, so it tastes good. Was this also made by you, YÅin?â
ââ¦â
âAre you a princess? Why?â
âAh⦠thatâs it. I have something to ask the swordsman.â
âhuh? What do you mean?â
Itâs time to open your eyes wide.
After hearing Limonâs question, he suddenly came to his senses.
Li Qingyu, who answered inadvertently, distracted himself with a light clearing of his throat, then slightly turned his head to hide his reddened ears and continued.
âThat broadcast program you mentioned before. Are your preparations going well?â
âWhy?â
âI think it will be easier to persuade if I show the program to the White Dragon Princess.â
ââ¦I know that the white dragon princess of this generation has a hobby there, but will that really help persuasion?â
âBecause it is the tradition of the White Dragon clan to risk oneâs life for a hobby.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
Limon scratched his cheek.
Itâs a broadcast program originally made to show, but thereâs nothing wrong with adding a princess to it.
Even so, Li Qingyu put on a puzzled expression as he saw Limon blurting his horseâs tail.
âIs something wrong?â
âThe PD said that the game company that sponsored this program withdrew their investment.â
ââ¦Then is the program overturned?â
âNo, they said they would collect the remaining budget and do something about it. The WIM Guild also decided to help out.â
For Seungjun Kim, KTBâs life and death program was at stake, and for Yeonhwa, it was an opportunity to monopolize WIMâs power.
There was no way I could turn the program over for a few bucks now.
Because of that, Kim Seung-jun was working hard to sell even the golf clubs of the KTB president, and Yeon-hwa was also stealing as much money from WIM as possible.
âI heard that itâs just that the budget gave it, so itâs pretty fist-pumping. Can I show you something like that?â
Limonâs point was right.
The seven princesses of the Seven Dragons are the richest people in the world.
There was no way a program made in a hurry with the money they didnât have would catch their eye.
But Li Qingyu was not disappointed.
Itâs like I donât know what the problem is.
I just shook my head and asked.
âIsnât that the story of all you need is money?â
ââ¦â
It was the moment when it was decided that the program, which had barely been running due to lack of budget, would move forward like a tricycle with a rocket booster.

âUnexpected.â
âDonât look around too much, Princess. It doesnât look classy.â
âTata is also looking around. Not convincing.â
âTata is the princessâs nanny, escort, and attendant. Itâs natural to be wary of your surroundings.â
âIt is a cowardly excuse.â
âTo protect the princess, Tata can become cowardly!â
What does Tata say?
The girl didnât really care.
I just kept looking around and muttering expressionlessly.
âIt is a country of swordsmiths. There is also a sword tower. But I donât see anyone with a sword.â
âDonât be alarmed, Princess. In the past, there were sword masters who didnât use swords, so they may actually be hidden masters.â
âI donât even know why Iâm a sword master when I donât even have a sword.â
âIf the swordsman acknowledges that the demon is a sword master, then he is a sword master.â
This era when even Limon became obsolete.
Few remember his fears.
In that respect, Ainsha and Tata were relatively exceptions.
It was because he was a very small number of people who knew about the world peace plan, which was the cause of Limonâs downfall.
Of course, since the generations were different and the White Dragon clan hadnât had a full-scale fight against Limon for hundreds of years, all they knew was what they had heard.
But that alone was enough to raise awareness about Limon.
If even half of what he heard was true, Limon was a monster who considered fighting the Seven Dragons a pleasure.
It was for this reason that he secretly came to this country several days ahead of schedule.
He was secretly trying to scout in case the Black Dragon clan and Limon dug a trap.
âTata is strange. Everyone sees Tata.â
âIâm looking at the princess, not Tata.â
âI covered my face. They hid their presence and identity. It makes no sense.â
âYou must have recognized the dignity of a princess that cannot be hidden even if covered. So act proudly.â
âAll right. After all, Tata is wise.â
Of course, at the point of wearing layers of jackets, hats, and coats to hide his identity, it was as if he was âsecretlyâ and not naked.
However, Ainsha, completely unaware of this fact, roamed the streets with great dignity.
In the meantime.
Ainsha asked expressionlessly.
âTata confirmation.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âI understand that this countryâs national name was not KTB.â
âof course.â
âI donât think there were any such initials among the powerful people or religions in this country.â
âThe surname K is common in this country, so we canât say for sure, but at least Tata hasnât figured it out.â
Tata gives quick answers.
Ainsha admired the wisdom of her trusted nanny, attendant, and escort, and asked the questions she was most curious about.
âThen I want to know why this country is covered with the letters KTB all over the place.â
From the side of a passing car, to the billboards on tall buildings, even the T-shirts people are wearing or the TV screens.
To the three letters that occupy all sides, Tata gave a confident answer this time.
âNot even Tata!â
