#583. What’s going on?
* * *
“Is it 20 million already?”
“yes. 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.”
“It ended up like that.”
Received Lucas’ 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 didn’t have to use his hand against Han Jeong-guk until now.
But…
“I don’t know if the swordsman will be all right.”
“Are you concerned?”
“Because you used a stigma that shouldn’t be covered.”
Rose sighed.
It was because I didn’t like the public opinion criticizing Limon after the broadcast.
Limon is also human.
No matter how much he said he didn’t care about his reputation, even if he did, it wouldn’t be comfortable to be criticized by the people of the country he had defended himself.
…No, to be honest, even if he was fine, she didn’t feel comfortable.
Whether as a knight who respects him who has protected the world.
Even as a single bride.
So she murmured.
“I don’t know what Li Qingyu is doing.”
“It’s definitely unexpected.”
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 didn’t 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.
“Is this her plan too?”
“The possibility is high, but…”
“I don’t know the purpose either.”
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 Qingyu’s purpose in a firm belief, Lucas suddenly opened his mouth.
“How about asking in person?”
“You mean to meet Li Qingyu?”
“I don’t know if the Black Dragon Princess will be honest with you, but wouldn’t it be better than worrying about it?”
“…it’s not wrong, but I can’t leave my seat for something like this when there’s so much work behind me.”
“A little while is fine.”
“But…”
I wonder if it’s 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, but…
“Isn’t the swordsman there now?”
“….”
“Are you worried about getting injured during the last war in Africa? So please check if the swordsman is okay at this time.”
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.
That’s what Lucas thought.
Even our chaste princess would be able to go on a date at this point.
It’s 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.
“Then, I will contact the Black Dragon Clan and make an official appointment to visit you.”
“Sir Lucas…”
He just put on a troubled expression.
With Rose’s 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.
But…
[No.]
“…what did you say?”
[I told you that the visit of the Blue Dragon Princess is not allowed.]
“Why?”
[I cannot tell you why.]
An old man with a cane.
Lucas hardened his face after hearing Yoin, the Leviathan’s branch manager, indifferently responding.
Refusing a visit from a princess for no reason was not the slightest disrespect, even towards other clans.
But Lucas didn’t blame the rudeness.
I just asked for it over and over again.
“If I can’t visit, please let me at least contact the swordsman.”
[Sorry, but I don’t have the right.]
“Then who has the right?”
[Of course, she is our princess.]
“If so, please contact the Black Dragon Princess so I can get permission.”
[I can’t do that.]
“Can’t you tell me why?”
[That’s 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.
“All right. Then we will contact you again next time.”
[Yes then, see you again.]
After cutting off communication like that.
Lucas was deep in thought with a serious face.
‘What is this?’
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 don’t realize it, so the Black Dragon Clan is the most dangerous in the Seven Dragons.
In that sense.
Youin’s behavior was strange.
Especially in that the Black Dragon clan didn’t even try to hide their suspicious appearance because it wasn’t 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.
‘…I don’t know how to tell the princess about this.’
Believe that you will keep your promise.
Lucas couldn’t help but put on a bewildered expression as he remembered the princess he respected, who would be changing into the neatest uniform by now.
* * *
“Is that so?”
[Yes, I responded only as you said.]
“Good job, Youin.”
[I was just doing what I was supposed to do…]
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?]
“It’s okay.”
to his question.
Li Qingyu smiled and replied.
“Because I’m used to doing bad things.”
[…]
“I will ask for your response in the future.”
At the end of looking at that quiet but unwavering smile of Li Qingyu.
Youin bowed his head.
[If that’s the princess’s 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.
“Looks like you’re ready.”
“yes.”
After nodding slowly.
Li Qingyu said.
“I don’t think any princess would find it strange that she couldn’t get in touch with the swordsman anymore. You will think I am up to something else.”
“Instead, my suspicions about you will deepen that much.”
“You have to accept that much.”
“It must be enough to take it.”
“does not matter.”
I don’t know if it’s the past.
Knowing that Limon has dragon psionics.
Also, he couldn’t 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 didn’t change her mind.
“Right now, the swordsman is in a situation where you have to avoid contact with other princesses as much as possible.”
“Isn’t there a way to honestly talk about my situation and ask for cooperation?”
“That will be difficult.”
“You think so?”
“If you know that the swordsman fell for the magic spell, you can’t even predict how the other princesses will behave.”
Li Qingyu remembered.
When Limon was hospitalized in the past.
The quarrel the other princesses had in front of that hospital room.
Even though Limon’s injuries weren’t serious at the time, it was.
How much more can you be quiet if you say you shouldn’t 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 can’t 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 Limon’s condition a secret from everyone.
“Yes, then there is nothing you can do.”
In the end, seeing Limon reluctantly accepting the fact and sighing.
Li Qingyu lowered his head.
“sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing?”
“It’s all my fault after all.”
If only she hadn’t stayed up all night with him and asked to have other princesses in her arms.
No, if you didn’t 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.
“There is no need to blame yourself. This is the result of my choices.”
“But…”
“Don’t forget, princess.”
Interrupting Li Qingyu’s words.
Limon is quiet.
But he said it bluntly.
“You are already mine.”
“…”
“And I have never regretted marrying you or marrying another princess, and I will not regret it in the future.”
too bold
That’s why it’s 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.
“Above all, it’s not certain that I’m going to die or go crazy.”
“….”
“If there is a clue to cure the syphilis, here it is.”
Limon with one hand raised.
Looking at the carving knife he was holding.
Li Qingyu murmured quietly.
“…Seven arcs, you say.”
“Yes. According to the doctor’s guess, if you unlock the last seal of this carving knife, the coin infancy will be solved.”
“That’s just a guess.”
“But the odds are high.”
a few days ago.
Recalling Maia’s diagnosis.
Limon continued quietly.
“Including that maybe I can handle dragon psionics freely and become stronger.”
