#305. It’s your turn to prove it.
In exchange for buying limon.
I will give you all the family’s property.
Seeing the golden princess speak without wavering, Catherine asked with a dumbfounded face.
“Charlotte, are you crazy?”
Hearing these words from this girl is the end in many ways.
Even so, the reason the other princesses couldn’t say anything was because everyone was looking at Charlotte with suspicious eyes.
But Charlotte was adamant.
“What are you so surprised about? I was just putting a fair price on the product.”
“A fair price? All your family’s wealth?”
“The swordsmith deserves it. Especially if what he has is not a simple eighth dragon psionic.”
“…”
“Above all, wouldn’t it be enough to earn that little money again?”
Seven Dragons Group.
Among them, Fafnir is the best when it comes to financial power.
Of course, all the assets of the Golden Dragon Clan, including all the shares, were treated as a pittance.
Li Qingyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly when she saw Charlotte openly mentioning the parts that all the princesses doubted but avoided mentioning.
‘As expected of Charlotte.’
No matter how arrogant you are…
Or rather, the more arrogant you are, the more you are extremely afraid of losing what you have.
Even so, the reason why Charlotte can make such a choice without hesitation is probably because she is so confident in her own abilities.
Even the world’s number one conglomerate can recreate it.
Indeed, the arrogance of a golden dragon princess.
But even taking that into account, it was clear that her vessel was different from other princesses.
Hasneti and Yekathrice, who had been competitively raising prices up until now, couldn’t offer any more for this exorbitant ransom.
“How about this?”
Charlotte asked with a lofty smile.
The final winner of this auction had already been confirmed at the time the entire property of the Golden Dragon clan was put up for sale.
so the next moment.
She couldn’t help but be silent.
“Can’t it just be that cheap?”
“…”
Charlotte wasn’t the only one who was at a loss for words at Limon’s sullen reply.
Ainsha blinked expressionlessly, Rose had a completely liberated face, and even Maia had a ridiculous expression on her face.
Only Li Ching-yu laughs.
Catherine asked on behalf of all the princesses.
“Swordsmith, are you deaf?”
“Isn’t that too stupid a question for a deaf person?”
“Then, do you have dementia?”
“Do you want me to confirm whether you have dementia or not by hitting your butt a hundred times?”
Yekathrice, who confirmed that both of the most powerful dragons had missed, looked at Limon with a more mysterious face.
“But did you say that it was such a bargain? All the assets of the Golden Dragon Clan, which Charlotte confidently offered up saying that this is the end of the game?”
“…I didn’t think it was game over.”
“Anyway, you ignored Charlotte’s entire fortune, right?”
Are you protesting?
Are you just trying to make fun of Charlotte?
Limon did not change his attitude despite the words of Catherine, who argued with all her heart and soul.
Rather, he just snorted as if asking something so obvious.
“What’s with all the assets of the Golden Dragon clan? Even so, it’s a pittance compared to my ransom.”
“Penny….”
“I don’t even have that penny. He is a poor man. It’s shocking.”
At that absurd statement, Rose moaned and Ainsha muttered to herself like a broken doll. Because there was
no way they could have bought what they lacked with all the assets of the Golden Dragon clan.
What do you want to buy but don’t have enough money?
As much as they were born in the Iron Age, it was the first shocking situation they experienced in their lives, having lived as the world’s richest people since birth.
“There is no need for rubbish.”
Meanwhile, Hasneti didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
He stared at Limon with cold bloody eyes and spoke in a muddy voice.
“If you don’t intend to sell yourself for money, tell me what you want.”
If even the entire fortune of the Golden Dragon clan was ignored, no princess of the Seven Dragons would be able to buy him with money.
So what Limon wanted from the beginning must have been something other than money.
judge soberly.
A sharp question.
However, Limon’s reaction to him seemed to be nonsense.
“Are you sure you want to sell it for money?”
“….”
While Hasneti, who suddenly became serious about nonsense, fell silent.
Maia gazed at Limon and Li Qingyu with her arms crossed, and she had a chilly sneer on her face.
what he wants
And what else are you going to do?
Excluding Li Qingyu, she had investigated Limon the most deeply, and only she who knew his personality could notice it.
“You mean the problem is the amount?”
“I already told you. I have no intention of selling it at a bargain price.”
“Then, at what price will you be satisfied?”
“May I preemptively?”
“It is the seller’s job to specify the starting price for the original auction.”
“Hmm, so is he.”
Maybe it’s because it seems that only Maia hasn’t caught on yet.
Limon laughed.
Then, looking down at them with one hand resting on his chin, he said what he thought was the least suitable value.
“At 51% of your share, I think it would be the lowest price, even if it lacks something.”
“…?”
That moment.
Ainsha tilted her head expressionlessly.
It would be natural for 100% to be greater than 51%, but why lower the conditions?
It was because I didn’t understand it at all.
‘Tata, I want to know what this means…’
Ainsha flinched as she turned to Tata to ask if there was a special calculation method she didn’t know about.
For some reason, Tata was making a huge expression.
It wasn’t just Tata.
Other princesses in their seats.
The seven dragon swords of each clan, including his aides.
All of them were looking at Limon with faces as if their eyes were about to roll over.
between them.
Charlotte opened her mouth.
“If I want to get you, do you mean to give up the majority of the controlling stake in our Seven Dragon Group?”
“okay.”
“…!”
Ainsha lowered her chin expressionlessly.
Fafnir Bahamut Jormungand Quetzalcoatl Tiamat Apophis Leviathan.
Seven holding companies, the world’s largest conglomerates called Seven Dragons, and the core of the Seven Dragons.
It was only belatedly realized that Limon’s request was half of all the companies’ shares.
And what that means…
“In other words, to dedicate the Seven Dragons to you?”
“It has to be that much, because the calculation is correct.”
“…like an arrogant person.”
“That is unexpected. I think this is rather a bargain sale.”
Was it because it was funny to hear the evaluation that Princess Geumryong was arrogant?
Limon giggled.
“Your goal from the beginning was to return the world to the era where dragons ruled, right?”
“It was in order to achieve that goal that he accumulated a huge amount of money while committing crimes for hundreds of years.”
“That’s why I’m giving you a chance to use the money properly for your beliefs.”
The opportunity to buy utopia with money is not that common.
It’s been a while since I smirked and talked.
Limon suddenly erased his laughter.
And he looked at them with cool eyes that were different from before and continued talking.
“It’s okay to commit crimes and kill people to create a utopia, but it’s not a waste to spend money, right?”
Why?
Also containing life.
It’s not that I’m feeling intimidated.
Even so, those golden eyes were so deep and heavy that the princesses who received his gaze stiffened their bodies.
Even Charlotte, of course.
Even Maia, who had roughly guessed Limon’s intentions, got goosebumps.
There are only two exceptions.
Only Li Qingyu, who smiles, and the most upright princess in the Seven Dragons.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
A blue-haired woman who was not shaken by her stern gaze because she did not hesitate to spend money for her beliefs from the beginning.
Looking at Rose, Limon nodded.
“Tell me, Count.”
“Did you just say that the condition was a refusal? Or are you serious?”
“Of course I mean it.”
“Then why are you suggesting impossible conditions?”
“Why do you say this is an impossible condition?”
It’s like you don’t know why.
Take a moment to look at Limon, who asks casually.
Rose opened her mouth with a sigh.
“There are two ways for us to implement your proposal. Either everyone collects their share little by little…
”
“… Neither is realistic.”
51% of the total stake in the Seven Dragons.
That’s an amount that can only be gathered if at least a majority of the clan pours in most of the controlling stake.
And from that point on, Limon’s proposal becomes unrealistic.
Because there was no princess who would give her share to another clan in the first place.
Especially now when everyone is aiming for Limon.
In addition, due to the nature of the Seven Dragon Group, where all shares are monopolized by the princess, it is difficult to take away the shares of other companies.
In other words, Limon’s proposal itself is close to impossible.
In addition, even if the stake was secured, there were remaining problems.
“Above all, if you take over a 51% stake, you will practically own the Seven Dragons.”
Of course, all you get is the shell.
No matter how many shares you have.
In fact, even the masters of each clan, which can be said to be the core of the Seven Dragons, will not be able to use it freely.
But sometimes even a shell can be a treasure.
What if Limon, who is already unmatched in terms of personal strength, gains the wealth and power of the Seven Dragons?
He will become absolute again.
Eight lords or seven princesses.
It is an omnipotent existence that no one dares to oppose.
“That also means that even if we achieve the resurrection of our ancestors, we will not be able to do anything without your permission.”
In order to create the utopia the Seven Dragons dream of, the dragon must be resurrected.
However, if a majority share is given for that, you will not be able to dream of a utopia until you persuade or defeat Limon.
Even if he creates a utopia, he has to pay attention to Limon in every case.
“To be honest, the condition of giving you a majority stake at the risk of that is difficult for the Seven Dragons to accept.”
“What would it be?”
It is difficult to collect shares.
The aftermath after that is not easy.
It was only natural for Rose to point out that it was not because of this that he deliberately put forward impossible conditions.
“But Count, that’s none of my business.”
“…You mean you have no intention of changing the request?”
“I already gave you a chance, and now it’s your turn to prove it.”
“What do you want to prove?”
“What?”
After shed a bloody laugh.
With one hand still resting on his chin, Limon continued quietly.
“Of course I want you to prove that you are worthy to be my bride.”
Like a princess who waits after asking her suitors to pick the moon in the sky if she wants to marry her, rather than having an arranged marriage she doesn’t want.
If you don’t meet these conditions, you can’t become his bride.
Just cut it and say it.
looking down upon themselves.
There was only one thing that the princess who inherited the most noble lineage in the world could do while looking at the white-haired young man who looked like an impregnable man.
All I could do was put on a bewildered expression.
Because that’s when I realized.
That he had no intention of making a deal with them from the beginning.
That the very fact of presenting these absurd conditions was a ‘task’ to test them.
…The fact that they, who had chosen their sire until now, are now in a position where they have to compete to be chosen by him.
