Chapter 385

#385. It’s persimmon. sure

The moment I heard Ainsha’s words.

Yuna-gyeong, who was eating snacks on the table, blinked involuntarily.

[Half the people of the Russian Khanate… will die?]

“Yes.”

[Why?!]

Yuna-kyung asked questioningly.

The idea that the population of the Russian Khanate in billions would be cut in half was terrifying.

Ainsha’s answer to that was simple.

“I don’t know why. I couldn’t even see the exact process. But as it is, it will definitely happen.”

[Does that make sense?]

“Whether it makes sense or not, the future is the future.”

At that blunt answer, Yuna-kyung was at a loss for words.

If someone else says this, you will only be forced to listen.

But she is the White Dragon Princess.

The name of Princess Baekryong, who has always reigned as the world’s best prophet from the age of heroes until now, has a weight that makes even that argument work.

That’s why Limon turned his gaze to Sir.

“…What do you think, Grandma?”

“Would you like to wait a minute?”

Naturally, she nodded willingly as if she knew how to call her, and put her hand to her chest bone.

Then, he took out a thick stack of cards, shuffled them, and unfolded them in turn.

A shadow clad in darkness [Demon].

A wagon wheel with a sword embedded in it [Fate].

Skeletons covered the ground [Death].

Seeing the three cards with his eyes narrowed, Sir tapped the cards with his fingers before opening his mouth.

“Something is blocking your foreknowledge.”

“So you don’t know?”

“Not to that extent. It’s hard to know exactly, but at least two things can be known with certainty.”

“What?”

“One is that a pretty big disaster is about to happen to the Russian Khanate. At least as catastrophic as the London Crisis… or perhaps even more.”

“…The other thing is that I’m the only one who can stop it?”

“Sword masters who can cut fate aren’t that common, are they?”

Limon clicked his tongue as he looked at the [Destiny] card shown by Sir.

Ainsha, the White Dragon Princess.

In addition, Shir, who was the world’s best prophet before Ji Baekryong Hyeon-gun appeared.

It is almost certain that there will be trouble in the Russian Khanate, as two top prophets have said in unison.

And the only one who could cut the fate decided by the prophecy was the one who mastered the swordsmanship of the dragon slaughter sword.

“Wrong.”

That’s why everyone, including Li Qingyu, looked puzzled at Ainsha’s words.

“What’s wrong, Ainsha?”

“Lee is not alone. Even if we can prevent the disaster that will happen because of Yekathrice, it will eventually cause great damage.”

“Is that also a prophecy? However, if you are a swordsman, you can change your wisdom…”

“It is not your wisdom. It’s just a feeling.”

“…you mean?”

“That’s right.”

Li Qingyu’s expression darkened.

She hypothesized that Limon was able to save the world several times thanks to the intuition derived from the foresight of the dragon psionic.

Above all, Ainsha is the most sensitive princess in the Seven Dragons.

So, even she couldn’t decide for a moment how to accept that feeling.

Limon, on the other hand, asked without thinking deeply.

“What if I’m not alone?”

“It’s simple. I can go too.”

“…That way you can prevent the damage?”

“That’s right. sure My senses are calling out that.”

“Hmm.”

Watching Ainsha answer with an expressionless face as always, Limon stroked her chin.

As he himself had a lot of experience acting according to his intuition, he had no intention of ignoring Ainsha’s intuition.

Actually, if she was the princess of the Seven Dragons, as long as she was helpful, she wouldn’t be a hindrance.

One problem.

“Things must be a bit bad for you to be away right now?”

Right now, they are busy preparing for the advancement of the Chinese Federation and the Holy Alliance of 《LE & IN》.

In the meantime, if Ainsha, the head of the White Dragon Clan, leaves, the food supply of the Holy Alliance will inevitably be delayed.

So, his point was natural.

However, Ainsha answered in a blunt voice that there was nothing to worry about.

“I have to meet Yekatrice anyway. You can think of it as a combination of both sides.”

“It’s not something to handle with both sides, is it? You never know how long it might take, depending on what happens.”

“it’s okay. There are alternatives.”

“Alternatives?”

Ainsha turned her head.

Then, looking at Li Qingyu with an expressionless face, he continued.

“Li Qingyu can do my job.”

Blink your eyes at those out of the blue words.

Li Qingyu asked with a puzzled face.

“Ainsha, did you ask me to direct the distribution of food for the Holy Alliance?”

“That’s right. Anyway 《LE & IN》 is a Leviathan affiliate. So, Li Qingyu can do it instead of me.”

“…aside from what that means, then I’ll have to do twice as much work?”

Li Qingyu put on a puzzled expression.

Even so, she is handling the most overwhelming amount of work among all the princesses.

In addition, if he took on Ainsha’s duties, it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed from overwork again.

Still, Ainsha did not change her expression.

I just asked bluntly.

“Li Qingyu can do it. Isn’t it?”

“….”

Not knowing when you might collapse again from overwork means, in other words, you can do it if you risk collapsing from overwork.

So I wonder if I can do it if my body is better now.

With an expressionless face as always.

But with sunken eyes that are more transparent than usual.

Take a moment to face Ainsha as she looks straight at you.

Li Qingyu nodded.

“Yes. Certainly, with the help of the elders of the White Dragon Clan, it wouldn’t be impossible.”

It was something that Youin and the other members of the Black Dragon clan, who were already dying while helping her, would inadvertently moan if they heard it.

However, Li Qingyu did not change his words.

He just smiled and tilted his head slightly.

“By the way, does it really have to be you to accompany the Ainsha Swordsman?”

“I want to know the meaning of the question.”

“If it’s a small help, it would be better to send several armed forces, and if it’s complicated, I think it’ll be more dependable if Sir accompanies you.”

In the first place, Limon wouldn’t be lacking in power.

If that’s the case, it means that Limon needs someone to help him in other areas, but if that’s the case, there are plenty of people other than Ainsha who can help.

But there is no reason for her to take the risk of food supply being delayed.

Ainsha replied with an expressionless face to Li Qingyu, who asked as if he was really curious.

“Li Qingyu is right.”

“Yes? Then, of course, other people…”

“But not others. I must go.”

“…”

Logically, Li Qingyu is right.

However, the sense as a prophet also says that he must go.

without reason or reason.

Nevertheless, seeing Ainsha speak with unwavering confidence, Li Qingyu fell silent again.

In the silence, the eyes of the two princesses crossed.

Yuna-kyung, feeling something strange, rolled her eyes.

Just as Li Qingyu was about to open his mouth again.

“I think it would be better to go with the stupid princess for this.”

Li Qingyu, who closed his slightly parted lips, turned his gaze to Limon.

“Can you tell me why?”

“Even the stupid princess said it, but it seems like the Silver Dragon clan is deeply intertwined in many ways.”

“You mean you want to participate in the equity negotiations with Ainsha and see how Yekatriche is related to this disaster.”

“Yes, if you know what the silver dragon clan is plotting, you might be able to understand what that disaster is.”

“Do you have any reason to think so?”

“If you don’t have to give a reason…”

As if contemplating what to answer.

scratching his cheek with his finger.

Nevertheless, without reversing the choice in the end, Limon revealed the most important reason for this decision.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s just a feeling.”

“….”

Should I envy or resent the prophet or sword master who can confidently say such a thing?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qingyu eventually had no choice but to accept Limon’s decision to accompany Ainsha with a sigh.

* * *

“I’m sorry I forced you to overdo it again when you haven’t been feeling better for a while.”

“Never mind. It’s not a bad thing for me either.”

after the meeting.

Returning to the penthouse on the top floor with Limon, Li Qingyu smiled as if he had never sighed.

Suddenly, she was given an extra job, but she got something instead.

If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have agreed to take responsibility for the Holy League’s food without any conditions.

So it was.

Why did Li Qingyu quietly continue his words?

“I’m rather worried that the swordsman will be okay.”

“Why wouldn’t it be okay?”

“Because if you want to find out what the silver dragon clan is up to, you’ll have to get that close to Yekathrice.”

“Are you worried that I might get too close with Princess Silver Dragon?”

“That is also the reason.”

Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.

For her, who had asked Limon to accept the other princesses, it would have been reassuring if he became acquainted with Catherine.

Even so, honestly, it wasn’t just because of what happened with Rose that I couldn’t be happy.

It was obvious that even Limon would find it difficult to even talk to Yekatrice, let alone get close.

“As Swordsman knows, successive Silver Dragon Princesses have always been special, but Yekatrice is exceptional among them.”

“You mean personally?”

“First of all, in terms of ability.”

I couldn’t bear to deny Limon’s point.

Li Qingyu said quietly.

“Because if you ask who the greatest genius of the Seven Dragons is, we will all pick her.”

The reason why she is counted as the strategist of the Seven Dragons is only because Yekathrice finds ploys boring.

If she had been interested in conspiracies and conspiracies even for a few years, she would have been able to become a conspirator who surpassed even herself.

It’s not just a ruse.

If you enjoyed fighting, beat Hasneti with a struggle.

If you set your heart on salvation, save more people than Rose.

A genius who could have become a doctor and apothecary beyond Maia if he had studied medicine and medicine.

That’s Yekatrice.

She was the only girl in the Seven Dragons who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Golden Dragon Princess, a girl who might even outsmart Charlotte if it were pure talent.

“…if only she had been sane.”

One problem.

More than her overwhelming talent, she is the craziest princess in the Seven Dragons.

Even Maia, who couldn’t handle the miasma flowing through her own blood, was mediocre compared to Yekatrice.

“Be careful, swordsman. Yekathrice is a princess who can do anything, so you never know what she will do.”

Was it because he felt that sincere concern?

Limon stared blankly at Li Qingyu and nodded with a rare serious face.

“Come, don’t be careful.”

“And again…”

“Again?”

“…no, please forget about this. Because I feel like I’m just going to worry about something I’m not sure about.”

Seeing Li Ching-yu, who rarely evades words, Limon was puzzled, but she did not put the thoughts that came to her mind in the end.

I just remembered.

When he decides to go to Russia.

What I saw momentarily.

I had already seen it when Ainsha visited the hospital not long ago, so I could barely notice the change.

Li Qingyu couldn’t help but put on a complicated expression, thinking of the girl who had always had an expressionless face and a quiet smile on her face.

* * *

Even if you look at it, it is a classy letter.

It took a long time to stare at each letter engraved in it, as if trying to engrave it into your eyes.

She reached out and touched the letter to the candle that was burning nearby.

Roaring!

It seems to have been designed to be easy to ride in the first place.

A letter that quickly caught fire.

Until the letters written inside are burned along with the paper.

Even when the sparks touched her snow-white fingers, she watched without moving. She withdrew her hand only after the letter disappeared without even a trace of ashes left.

Smile.

It’s faint and invisible.

Transparent as if it would break at any moment.

That’s why a more fleeting and clean smile.

“Princess Shinryongdae is ready to depart.”

but right after that.

her smile is gone

All that is left is a beautiful but expressionless face like a doll that shows no emotion at all.

“Wait. I’m leaving now.”

With such a blunt answer, the white-haired girl got up and left the room without hesitation.

Leaving the place where the letter that had once been stamped with the silver dragon’s seal, which had arrived before Li Qingyu held the meeting, had disappeared…
