#583. Whatâs going on?
* * *
âIs it 20 million already?â
âyes. It is said that the impeachment process has already begun at the same time as the investigation into the data that the public prosecutor has already released.â
âIt ended up like that.â
Received Lucasâ report.
Rose nodded.
The report that the president of a country had been blown away overnight was not something that even the Seven Dragons would pass lightly.
Even so, she calmly agreed because this was a very natural result.
before watching this show.
From the time I met Hanjeongguk in the past.
Because I knew that one day it would be like this.
Limon was also like that, so he probably didnât have to use his hand against Han Jeong-guk until now.
Butâ¦
âI donât know if the swordsman will be all right.â
âAre you concerned?â
âBecause you used a stigma that shouldnât be covered.â
Rose sighed.
It was because I didnât like the public opinion criticizing Limon after the broadcast.
Limon is also human.
No matter how much he said he didnât care about his reputation, even if he did, it wouldnât be comfortable to be criticized by the people of the country he had defended himself.
â¦No, to be honest, even if he was fine, she didnât feel comfortable.
Whether as a knight who respects him who has protected the world.
Even as a single bride.
So she murmured.
âI donât know what Li Qingyu is doing.â
âItâs definitely unexpected.â
Lucas also agreed.
Intelligence work is the specialty of the Black Dragon clan.
Considering that Li Mon was currently with Li Qingyu, the Black Dragon clan had to sort out public opinion on their own.
Or, he quietly destroyed the Hanjeongguk a long time ago.
But, of course, he didnât take any action until Han Jeong-guk started all sorts of tricks.
Even the follow-up is so lax.
Those who knew even a little bit about the Black Dragon Clan had no choice but to wonder.
âIs this her plan too?â
âThe possibility is high, butâ¦â
âI donât know the purpose either.â
There was no way that Black Dragon Princess would stand by without a plan.
So there must be something to aim for.
Watching Rose contemplating Li Qingyuâs purpose in a firm belief, Lucas suddenly opened his mouth.
âHow about asking in person?â
âYou mean to meet Li Qingyu?â
âI donât know if the Black Dragon Princess will be honest with you, but wouldnât it be better than worrying about it?â
ââ¦itâs not wrong, but I canât leave my seat for something like this when thereâs so much work behind me.â
âA little while is fine.â
âButâ¦â
I wonder if itâs another princess.
For the blue dragon princess, it was a place where she could reach the other side of the continent in one step.
It was possible to get there in a really short time.
It was understandable that she was hesitant, since instead, Lucas himself and the elders would be overburdened with work, butâ¦
âIsnât the swordsman there now?â
ââ¦.â
âAre you worried about getting injured during the last war in Africa? So please check if the swordsman is okay at this time.â
It seems like when did you object?
Looking at Rose, who was silent.
Lucas was delighted.
Rose was so busy that she even saved her sleep to live righteously for her family.
Her fresh romance was something I was happy to do as an aide.
In addition, even if it was delayed for a while due to the revived Sword Masters and the World Federation, the competition with Limon is not over yet.
Considering the other princesses, Rose needs to be more proactive.
Thatâs what Lucas thought.
Even our chaste princess would be able to go on a date at this point.
Itâs a little bit up to a kiss before the wedding, but holding hands with grown men and women would be okay.
Even in the blue dragon clan, the knight who was second only to Rose, according to the strict knowledge, made a plan of conversion like that.
âThen, I will contact the Black Dragon Clan and make an official appointment to visit you.â
âSir Lucasâ¦â
He just put on a troubled expression.
With Roseâs unofficial consent, Lucas made contact with him.
Of course, it was a ritualistic act.
In these days, when the connection system between clans was strengthened in order to fight against the World Federation, there was no such thing as being barred from the door even if you went silently.
Just for the sake of minimal formality.
I was just trying to give Rose time to prepare.
Butâ¦
[No.]
ââ¦what did you say?â
[I told you that the visit of the Blue Dragon Princess is not allowed.]
âWhy?â
[I cannot tell you why.]
An old man with a cane.
Lucas hardened his face after hearing Yoin, the Leviathanâs branch manager, indifferently responding.
Refusing a visit from a princess for no reason was not the slightest disrespect, even towards other clans.
But Lucas didnât blame the rudeness.
I just asked for it over and over again.
âIf I canât visit, please let me at least contact the swordsman.â
[Sorry, but I donât have the right.]
âThen who has the right?â
[Of course, she is our princess.]
âIf so, please contact the Black Dragon Princess so I can get permission.â
[I canât do that.]
âCanât you tell me why?â
[Thatâs right.]
Youin quietly smiles.
No excuses.
without explanation.
At the end of looking at Yo-in, who kept silent as if this was not enough of an answer.
Lucas nodded.
âAll right. Then we will contact you again next time.â
[Yes then, see you again.]
After cutting off communication like that.
Lucas was deep in thought with a serious face.
âWhat is this?â
Of course, it was as natural as breathing for the Seven Dragons to have the Black Dragons plotting suspicious things.
The problem was the fact itself.
As if no one deliberately declares it with every breath.
The conspiracy of the Black Dragon Clan begins and ends without anyone noticing.
Even after being hit, there are many cases where you donât realize it, so the Black Dragon Clan is the most dangerous in the Seven Dragons.
In that sense.
Youinâs behavior was strange.
Especially in that the Black Dragon clan didnât even try to hide their suspicious appearance because it wasnât enough to make things up so openly.
What are you trying to decorate?
Those who knew the danger of the Black Dragon Clan had no choice but to be alert.
There is one thing that troubles him more than anything.
ââ¦I donât know how to tell the princess about this.â
Believe that you will keep your promise.
Lucas couldnât help but put on a bewildered expression as he remembered the princess he respected, who would be changing into the neatest uniform by now.
* * *
âIs that so?â
[Yes, I responded only as you said.]
âGood job, Youin.â
[I was just doing what I was supposed to doâ¦]
As soon as he cut off communication with Lucas, Youin immediately contacted Li Qingyu and fell silent.
and carefully asked.
[Are you going to be okay like this?]
âItâs okay.â
to his question.
Li Qingyu smiled and replied.
âBecause Iâm used to doing bad things.â
[â¦]
âI will ask for your response in the future.â
At the end of looking at that quiet but unwavering smile of Li Qingyu.
Youin bowed his head.
[If thatâs the princessâs will.]
After the communication.
Li Qingyu left the room.
And quietly walked away.
Towards the lowest layer of Quetzalcoatl.
An artificial flower garden originally created by Maia to neutralize her miasma and prevent it from leaking outside.
A white-haired man was engrossed in his work in a place where countless precious flowers were in full bloom.
square square.
wood, stone and metal.
people, animals and nature.
delicately, beautifully, bizarrely.
A man who was creating dozens or hundreds of pieces with just one platinum-colored carving knife.
Limon stopped moving his carving knife the moment she opened the door and entered.
âLooks like youâre ready.â
âyes.â
After nodding slowly.
Li Qingyu said.
âI donât think any princess would find it strange that she couldnât get in touch with the swordsman anymore. You will think I am up to something else.â
âInstead, my suspicions about you will deepen that much.â
âYou have to accept that much.â
âIt must be enough to take it.â
âdoes not matter.â
I donât know if itâs the past.
Knowing that Limon has dragon psionics.
Also, he couldnât stand the fact that the princesses who had a relationship with him could not be contacted forever.
I will definitely question Li Qingyu.
You may go to a skill event.
Still, she didnât change her mind.
âRight now, the swordsman is in a situation where you have to avoid contact with other princesses as much as possible.â
âIsnât there a way to honestly talk about my situation and ask for cooperation?â
âThat will be difficult.â
âYou think so?â
âIf you know that the swordsman fell for the magic spell, you canât even predict how the other princesses will behave.â
Li Qingyu remembered.
When Limon was hospitalized in the past.
The quarrel the other princesses had in front of that hospital room.
Even though Limonâs injuries werenât serious at the time, it was.
How much more can you be quiet if you say you shouldnât meet him who is in a state of insanity?
No, even if I was calm, would I be able to focus on dealing with the World Federation like before?
It canât be.
Probably most princesses will get out of hand.
It was because Li Qingyu himself did it right away.
If the Seven Dragons reveal their gaps, the World Federation will be more active.
To avoid the worst, it would be better to keep Limonâs condition a secret from everyone.
âYes, then there is nothing you can do.â
In the end, seeing Limon reluctantly accepting the fact and sighing.
Li Qingyu lowered his head.
âsorry.â
âWhy are you apologizing?â
âItâs all my fault after all.â
If only she hadnât stayed up all night with him and asked to have other princesses in her arms.
No, if you didnât propose at all.
The dragon psionic would still be asleep, as it had been for hundreds of years, and he would not have fallen into the coin intoxication.
So, you are the culprit of this situation.
A damn bitch who ruins and taints everything.
Seeing Li Qingyu bitterly self-deprecating, Limon said quietly.
âThere is no need to blame yourself. This is the result of my choices.â
âButâ¦â
âDonât forget, princess.â
Interrupting Li Qingyuâs words.
Limon is quiet.
But he said it bluntly.
âYou are already mine.â
ââ¦â
âAnd I have never regretted marrying you or marrying another princess, and I will not regret it in the future.â
too bold
Thatâs why itâs more warm words.
Li Qingyu felt his chest tighten.
Even in the midst of this, the figure of Limon who did not lose his composure.
And even though he deserves to blame himself more than anyone else, his attitude of comforting Ji-sin.
Rather than any criticism, he pierced her heart more sharply and prevented her from saying anything.
It was as if he had guessed her feelings.
Limon smiled and continued.
âAbove all, itâs not certain that Iâm going to die or go crazy.â
ââ¦.â
âIf there is a clue to cure the syphilis, here it is.â
Limon with one hand raised.
Looking at the carving knife he was holding.
Li Qingyu murmured quietly.
ââ¦Seven arcs, you say.â
âYes. According to the doctorâs guess, if you unlock the last seal of this carving knife, the coin infancy will be solved.â
âThatâs just a guess.â
âBut the odds are high.â
a few days ago.
Recalling Maiaâs diagnosis.
Limon continued quietly.
âIncluding that maybe I can handle dragon psionics freely and become stronger.â
