#451. That’s scary.
“of course.”
“…”
“I was very much loved by Lee. Of course it smells good.”
The Black Dragon clan is a clan of tricks.
As the princess of such a clan, Li Qingyu was good at reading people’s minds.
In the first place, as much as he was born with the psionic power of emotional response, he could even read the mind of most people.
but this moment.
He said that since he was loved by Limon, it was only natural that he smelled of him.
The sight of Ainsha confidently answering with her meager chest wide open made even Li Qingyu speechless.
“…a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect you to admit it so readily.”
“There is no point in hiding it. There is no reason to hide it from Li Qingyu. So there is no reason not to admit it.”
“…”
“I want to know if there is anything wrong with being Lee’s bride.”
If you have something to say, say it.
For a while, I stared blankly at Ainsha, who asked with an expressionless face like a doll.
Li Qingyu shook his head slightly.
“No, there is no problem.”
Of course, there are many problems.
In the first place, from Charlotte’s attack on the base of the Liberation Brigade to winning the competition for the position of Limon’s bride.
However, she became a bride before the equity competition was over.
It’s not even over yet, but it’s like putting your hands on the product.
Of course, if it is revealed publicly, it will receive enormous criticism from other princesses.
At worst, it could be punished for violating the discussion of the Seven Dragon Branches, or even a war.
“At least I have no right to say anything to you, Ainsha.”
But what about other princesses?
Li Qingyu couldn’t blame Ainsha.
If what she did was counted as a foul, she would have to be punished for being Limon’s even before the competition began.
That’s why, knowing what Rose had done, she had no choice but to pass on implicitly.
It was meaningless to point out that Ainsha had done the same thing.
One thing is more important than anything else.
“If that’s what the swordsman decided, I’ll just follow it.”
how much to raise
no matter how many things you do
It’s just one way to prove yourself qualified.
In the end, it is Limon who chooses the bride.
So since he decided to accept Ainsha as his bride, he had nothing to say.
Ainsha nodded his head expressionlessly, watching Li Qingyu speak calmly.
“I thought it would be Li Qingyu.”
Is it a mockery of not caring about the foul play?
Or is it admiration for prioritizing Limon’s intentions even while suppressing the desire for exclusiveness and jealousy that is inevitable if you are a descendant of the dragon?
Li Qingyu did not bother to read Ainsha’s intentions, which was difficult to understand because of her blunt tone.
I was just expressing my opinion calmly.
“Still, you’d better be careful for the time being. Even Rose doesn’t know how to react if she finds out about this.”
Rose of the past, who adhered to neutrality, might have passed over to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But what about Rose now?
To be honest, it was hard to predict.
All the more because I remember her showing off the traces of being loved by Limon and whispering that she could share him.
Even Rose, who was at least rational and friendly in the Seven Dragons, was like that.
What would happen if the other princesses found out about this?
Just imagining it gave me a headache.
Emotions are beyond logic.
It’s not something that can be calculated and predicted with reason.
And, truly terrifyingly, Limon had already gained feelings beyond favor with all the princesses except Charlotte.
Even if you felt a visceral attraction to dragon psionics.
Considering how lofty and proud these dragon descendants were, this was absurd.
As such, if all the princesses act according to their feelings, it was difficult to gauge the aftermath.
“Of course. not that stupid We distinguish between who to talk to and who to not.”
As a princess, did you know that much?
Ainsha answered bluntly.
Then, he picked up another Krembo and continued talking.
“I have to take care of myself anyway. There are many things that have been delayed. So, for the time being, I will be quiet.”
Although it was in good condition for using the Sijo rouge style, Yonghwa is an act that puts a burden on the body anyway.
It was necessary to take a good rest in order to prevent the aftereffects that might appear.
Above all, while she was in the Russian Khanate, Li Qingyu took care of the Holy League and Tiamat instead.
A day or two was not enough to take over the work so far and deal with the accumulated work.
So, for the time being, I will be living in the Holy League.
After speaking bluntly.
Ainsha looked at Li Qingyu as if she had just remembered.
“But Li Qingyu is also careful.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Lee’s dragon psionics are getting stronger and stronger.”
“I don’t know that either.”
Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.
Originally, the eighth dragon psionic, which had been sleeping for hundreds of years without even knowing Limon himself.
However, as he was awakened by the Seven Arcs and became aware of his dragon psionic power, his power was growing day by day.
In particular, the growth was remarkable at every occasion.
Now, the reverberation left on Ainsha, not Limon, the person involved, made her feel dizzy.
It’s so much that no perfume can hide it.
“As Lee’s dragon psionic power grows, so does the urge we feel. I don’t know what will happen later.”
“…I guess so.”
At least they were familiar with his dragon psionics, so other princesses would be worse.
For a while, look at Ainsha, who warns you with an expressionless face.
Li Qingyu closed his eyes.
as if thinking about something
Or as if to consider.
After being immersed in my own thoughts for such a long time.
Opening her eyes again, she asked calmly.
“Ainsha. I have one last question for you, so can you answer me honestly?”
“I want to know what you mean.”
“It’s about the thousand-legged foresight.”
softly.
Li Qingyu took a teacup.
And sip warm tea.
Moisten your dry lips.
He looked at the expressionless white-haired girl like a doll with deep, dull eyes.
“Did you really learn that after the demon god descended?”
“…?”
I guess I don’t know what that means.
Looking at Ainsha tilting her head, Li Qingyu said quietly.
“It may be because of my mood, but I think you are handling the far-sighted forebears too well for what I learned overnight.”
The princesses of the Chilryonghoe, who were born with the essence of the dragon and the heavenly body, could easily learn the seventy-two kinds of martial arts.
Still, there are limits.
Even a princess needed to practice steadily for at least one or two months to master the seventy-two kinds.
Yekathrice learned the art of decapitalization just by looking at the secret level once, but that is possible because she is a genius.
The 72 species were so profound that even she couldn’t fully unfold the white-faced shellfish.
In particular, the Cheonri Seonkyeon-ryu is one of the most difficult of the seventy-two types of Jeolhak.
Is it possible to handle it skillfully just by learning it in a hurry after being revived by a demon god?
It was a little strange if you think about it, no matter how much the Cheonri Seongoryu was specialized in the White Dragon Princess.
So that’s what came to mind.
As the Black Dragon Princess, who was suspicious of everyone, Li Qingyu quietly spoke of a certain idea.
“Ainsha, haven’t you been learning the clairvoyant from a long time ago?”
and.
What came was static.
A girl with an expressionless face.
A girl with deep sunken eyes.
Looking at each other with clear, dark eyes.
Of the two who had been silent for such a long time, it was the white one who spoke first.
“I want to know what Li Qingyu did wrong.”
A thousand-legged foresight is a magical art that can cut off emotions and endanger your life even if you just master it.
But what reason would he have to learn it even before the demon descended and keep that fact a secret?
Ainsha blinks as if she doesn’t understand.
“…is that so.”
At the end of staring at her.
After nodding slowly.
Li Qingyu chuckled.
“Sorry for asking useless questions. You must be tired, but now go back and rest.”
“All right. I’m going to eat this.”
As if leaving behind Tata’s handmade crembo is a sin.
Li Qingyu muttered inwardly as she watched Ainsha speed up her eating tea and crembo.
‘Maybe it was too much of an idea?’
As Ainsha said, there was no reason for her to learn the natural foresight.
But what if there is a reason?
For example…
…what if I wished to foresee even the future of the sword master who slashes fate?
Of course, it doesn’t work for him.
However, unlike the prophecy that sees the future, the celestial visionary is a Jeolhak who reads reason.
To put it bluntly, it was close to a technology that predicts consequences through cause and process, like a supercomputer that predicts climate by analyzing temperature and wind direction.
The reason that only the White Dragon Princess can learn it is because she has to do a lot of analysis and calculation with her foresight.
‘Including the fact that Ainsha may have even read the swordsmith’s future.’
I’m not reading Limon’s future myself.
Instead, you can foresee the events around him and predict what he will do.
Depending on his actions, his foreknowledge will continue to change, so even count the number of cases where his foresight will change.
thousands of times.
thousands of times.
billions of times.
Every time Limon wielded his sword, he foresaw the future that would change and separately predicted it.
Of course, that’s outrageous stupidity.
It was an act that not only took a huge amount of time and mental strength, but also increased the risk of losing feelings as much as the abuse of the celestial foresight… But what
if you really did that?
What if you read all the futures honestly like Ugong who moved the mountain by carrying soil with a fork?
So what if he found a future with Limon and acted on it?
It may not be a coincidence that Ainsha behaved far from Limon in the Russian Khanate.
If the variables in the future increase as much as you act with Limon, on the contrary, the more you avoid direct intervention, the easier it will be to read the future.
‘Even thinking about it myself, I think my suspicions are too much, but…’
Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.
whether it is possible or impossible.
It’s an outrageous gamble.
To use it against a sword master who could change fate, the chance of success was low, and if it failed, everything could be lost.
How likely was it that even Ainsha would have done such a foolish thing?
while she’s thinking
Ainsha finally finished eating the crembo and got up from her seat.
“I’m going alone.”
“I will contact you when the preparations for your takeover are complete.”
Before leaving the place after saying goodbye so simply.
It’s like I just remembered.
Ainsha looked back at Li Qingyu.
“By the way, do you know Li Qingyu?”
“What are you talking about?”
“It feels very good to be loved so much by Lee.”
That moment.
Li Qingyu hesitated.
It wasn’t just that I felt my heart throb at her childish bragging.
Because he saw the change in the girl’s face.
“So…”
Her lips curled up.
Eyebrows slightly curved.
Eyes shining brightly.
“I will not kill Li Qingyu, I will spare her.”
twirling
A face as expressionless as a mask.
It wasn’t even a faint smile.
So clear, pure, and clean.
With a terrifyingly beautiful smile.
Ainsha slowly raised a hand and placed a finger on her lips.
shhh.
and.
short teeth.
With a sound so small and thin that no one can hear it.
Wearing a bewitching smile.
Ainsha left.
And at the end of staring at the empty spot long after she disappeared.
Li Qingyu opened his mouth.
“A bad girl… is that?”
While Limon was in Russia.
A story I heard during a brief phone call.
The answer that Ainsha proudly gave when Limon went to interrogate her for what kind of plan did she hold hands with Yekatrice.
Become a bad woman
I will deceive and betray everyone.
Instead, he will be true only to Limon.
When you do bad things, you will get permission from him.
Recalling Ainsha’s declaration.
Li Qingyu murmured.
“It is indeed a liar’s paradox.”
After warning everyone that they will cheat.
Would I be lying if I said I would only tell the truth?
If he told the truth, should he be blamed for being a liar or should he be admired for being honest since he lied?
Besides, why didn’t Ainsha ever get permission from Limon for anything while she was active in Russia?
And was it the only time I asked for permission when I said that I would learn the thousand-legged foresight?
More than anything…
Ainsha may have practiced smiling.
Or maybe it was an exercise in hiding emotions better.
Of course, I understand the problem too belatedly that I should have suspected.
Li Qingyu closed his eyes.
Clearly, Ainsha achieved the best outcome by preventing a future in which the majority of Russians died or a more terrible tragedy occurred.
But what she saw might have been a future where the revolution succeeded and the Soviet Union was established.
Or, it could be that Yekathrice defeated Limon and the demon and was recognized as his bride.
It’s like the future isn’t fixed.
There is no law that says there is only one best ending.
However, if Ainsha buried countless other possibilities and forcibly created a future that had less than 0.1% chance of actually happening… “Even if I tried to say this to
others, they would only hear that it was a delusion worthy of the Black Dragon Princess.”
To fulfill your own love.
crushing an entire country.
Even the gods use it like a tool.
Of course, he fooled the Sword Master as well.
A girl who may have been reading the future where all the other princesses die and take over Limon alone while eating Krembo.
But, of course, no one suspects it.
A liar who has already surpassed himself in the sense that his lies will never be caught because all the evidence is in the future.
“I didn’t mean to say it in the first place…”
If you don’t want to die, you better be careful with your words.
with a smiley face.
But with eyes without a smile.
Kindly warned yourself.
He recalled the transparent eyes of the descendant of the dragon who had met Limon a lot after himself and was crazy about him.
Li Qingyu could only mutter quietly.
“…It’s really scary being an idiot who pretends to be an idiot.”
