Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 1030
#1030. Could you please listen? (Complete)
* * *
After the day of beginning.
Unlike humanity, which gained hope and brightened up, the Seven Dragons’ clan actually maintained a calm atmosphere.
Because, unlike ordinary people, they knew.
In fact, the man who was the biggest protagonist of this victory and whom the princesses were eagerly waiting for was not returning.
And how much my beloved princess is suffering because of that.
Including the princesses starting to fight each other, starting with the runaway Ainsha and Catherine.
Therefore, the seven clans had no choice but to devote themselves to their work with a heavy atmosphere, like defeated soldiers, rather than victorious armies that protected humanity and gained hegemony of the world.
The ironic thing was that ordinary people who did not know the circumstances ended up trusting the Seven Dragons Association even more.
That was why.
Right now at this moment.
Former Koryo branch of Leviathan.
And the reason why what was happening around the building that has now become the Black Dragon Clan’s temporary management headquarters for the Far East region was so unusual.
Boom!
A heat wave breaks out.
It’s so big and extravagant.
After the day of disaster, the flames of the Red Dragon Clan that burned the monsters beautifully decorate the dark night sky.
What resonates in the night sky is loud music.
The drum, the harp, the guitar, the piano, the trumpet sing. The numerous instruments played by each member of the White Dragon clan miraculously combine to form exquisite harmony.
The knights of the Blue Dragon Clan and the warriors of the Silver Dragon Clan each exchanged wine and horse liquor to drink.
While the Black Dragon Clan is carrying food filled with the Green Dragon Clan’s feel-good medicine everywhere.
The musketeers of the Golden Dragon clan become dealers, holding all kinds of gambling games everywhere and scattering chips and gold coins.
The sight of the seven clans going crazy like that is truly madness.
After Start Day, of course.
After the Seven Dragons Association was established.
It was unprecedented.
It was a sight that could not help but be dumbfounded for citizens who had only seen them fiercely fighting against monsters and quietly focusing on restoration projects.
But the seven princesses who were supposed to control it were just watching it happen.
It was natural.
Because the reason this crazy festival took place in the first place was their beloved princesses.
“Kyahahahaha! Drink, drink! Whether it’s alcohol or food, I pay for everything today! So, tell everyone to drink as much as they can without hesitation!”
“Anyway, the food is Hasneti’s and the alcohol is Maian’s strong liquor. “It’s ugly to brag about something for free.”
“Don’t worry about small things, small things! “Anyway, it’s important to have a happy day, right?”
“I don’t think this is what Catherine, who shed so many tears on that happy day, would say.”
“Hehehe, I heard you were the same person who cried as soon as you saw oppa.”
“It’s okay for my younger brother. “If Catherine wants to do that, she will give up her position as older sister and become my younger sister.”
“Ainsha?! Are you carrying out a coup now?!?!”
Catherine gulps vodka like water and smiles cheerfully.
Ainsha is sipping sweet beer while her shoulders are being held.
“Hasneti. “I know how you feel, but wouldn’t it be a bit too much to kiss the top of your foot in front of everyone?”
“If you’re jealous, Rose, you should do it too.”
“…I didn’t mean it to be envious.”
“Then I guess it was my mood that made you look like you were sad.”
“Hasneti I hate you sometimes.”
“I’m glad it happens sometimes.”
Hasneti drinks mead and speaks in a husky voice, but with a rare joyful expression on her always cold face.
Rose glances at her and eventually smiles and tips the wine.
“Honestly, it was unexpected.”
“What did you mean?”
“Out of all of us, you were the first to rush at him and it wasn’t enough that you even kissed him.”
“…Should it be as unexpected as you, who were holding back tears until your eyes welled up?”
Charlotte snorts with a slightly flushed face after drinking dozens of glasses of whiskey already.
And Maia was drinking straight the liquor that made even dragons drunk, which had only been mixed in a little bit with the other princess’s liquor.
“Chwieon. Younger female. “I’m dreaming… the world is spinning.”
“Sir, it’s not that I was dreaming, it was that I was drunk.”
“question. “What’s the difference between being drunk and dreaming…?”
“In a dream, longing and nostalgia remain, but after getting drunk, regret and a hangover remain.”
Suri is running red-hot thanks to continuously one-shotting the strong liquor of the Green Dragon Clan, a drink he had never tasted in his life.
Anastasia gives honey water to the running Suri and takes care of him frugally like a wise mother and good wife.
An old witch wearing a cotton hat is leisurely enjoying herself by selecting only the most expensive drinks, and a blue bird is still sleeping soundly in the magic cradle next to her.
And even a one-eyed swordsman who orders various things along with his associates.
Everyone gathered here, including the princesses of the Seven Dragons, were completely absorbed in enjoying the day, forgetting about everything, including work.
It was natural.
Today is the day their worries end.
Because it was the moment when the last reason why I had to be depressed disappeared and I could finally enjoy victory.
The black-haired girl who was a little far away was no exception.
Because I was the first to greet him.
They worked hard to create this place in just a few hours.
Nevertheless, rather than being tired, Li Qingyu, who was sitting in the wheelchair watching the scene with a comfortable smile, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Are you here?”
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
“No, I’m just grateful that you came during your busy schedule.”
Li Qingyu smiled.
No one knew better than her, who had been watching from the beginning, how hard he worked to comfort the brides who cried, laughed, and complained.
Including the fact that she was the one who cried the most and received comfort.
“Because this is what I have to do.”
It was his fault for coming back so late and making the brides anxious, so it was his natural responsibility to comfort them.
After speaking calmly.
Limon suddenly lowered his gaze.
“…Including about you.”
Hearing those words, Li Qingyu looked a little troubled.
This is because he noticed that Limon’s gaze was directed at none other than his own legs.
“You don’t have to worry about my legs. “If it’s really uncomfortable, just wear a prosthetic leg like Catherine did.”
“do not worry. “I will find a way to fix the crazy princess’s arm someday.”
“Well, I don’t think you need to do that.”
Li Qingyu smiled wryly at the sight of Catherine juggling several bottles to make explosive liquor while rotating her prosthetic hand at high speed at 360 degrees.
Limon asked calmly.
“If I had lost an arm, you would have done whatever it took to get it back, right?”
“….”
“Isn’t that so?”
“…It’s just as you said.”
“Then don’t worry about such obvious things.”
“Yes, swordsman.”
Is this because counterarguments have become impossible?
Li Qingyu, who had a particularly complex expression on his face, eventually lowered his head with a bitter smile.
He suddenly muttered.
“Anyway, everything is finally over.”
It feels like a new feeling.
Limon continued speaking as he looked up at the Leviathan Hotel where he had previously become engaged to Li Qingyu.
“Honestly, until I accepted your marriage proposal, I had no idea that something so turbulent would happen.”
“You got a lot in return, right?”
“I see.”
Limon chuckled.
Until the time he was kicked out by the government and even lost Yuna-kyung, he only wanted one thing.
All I wanted to do was get my money and power back so I wouldn’t have to do something like this again.
In that respect, his purpose was perfectly achieved.
Money or something.
Whether it’s power.
Everything has become so overwhelming that he has now become an absolute person who has taken over the hegemony of the entire world.
Above all….
“If I think of it as a reward for obtaining you, I will have to endure this much hardship.”
“Hehe, even if it’s just empty words, I’m happy.”
“It can’t be empty words.”
Seven princesses of the Seven Dragons.
And even the two lost disciples.
Limon smiled bitterly as he thought of the brides, who were all beautiful and lovely and more precious than any treasure in the world.
Who would have thought that even the descendants of the seven dragons, who were like his enemies, would end up taking as his brides the disciples who died for want of life.
It was something I couldn’t even imagine until a few years ago.
If it were a trick of fate, it would be so funny.
When he laughs.
Li Qingyu suddenly asked.
“By the way, swordsmith. Is everything really over?”
“why? Are you worried that there might be some remaining constellations?”
“It’s not about the constellations.”
Li Qingyu shook his head slightly and continued speaking with a serious expression.
“The constellations spoke. “There is an inevitable end to the world and they are preventing it.”
“…Do you think that the end may come as a result of us defeating the Constellations?”
“If you just look at the possibilities.”
“Hmm.”
Limon was lost in thought.
It was definitely a valid point.
Even if their cause was empty, the Constellations were the ones who sacrificed everything to prevent the apocalypse.
Whatever the end is.
If it wasn’t a huge deception in itself, there was a good chance that it would affect the world in some way since the constellations had disappeared.
But…
“Well, what do you think?” “If you overcome the apocalypse or anything else, that’s it.”
“…Is that possible?”
“possible.”
Unlike Li Qingyu, Limon wasn’t too worried.
Then he smiled and told the reason.
“Because I have you and you have me.”
“…You have a correct answer to a question.”
He may not know if he is alone, but if they help him, he will be able to overcome whatever the apocalypse is.
Li Qingyu ended up laughing when he saw Limon making such a bold statement.
It wasn’t just because I realized that I could stop thinking about what would happen in the future anyway.
Stop the apocalypse.
Whether you can’t stop it or not.
Because even then, she would be with him.
And just because she could be with him through life and death, she could smile as much as she wanted.
…Until Limon held out a hand.
“In that sense, princess, I think it’s time to keep my promise to you.”
“….”
That moment.
She paused.
It was placed in Limon’s palm.
A dragon pattern was carved with black pearls embedded in black jade.
The ring she had seen before but could not bear to receive silenced her.
“…yes. It’s definitely time.”
But it was only for a moment.
As if preparing for something.
Or as if resigned.
Li Qingyu quietly closed his eyes.
“Can you please listen to me?”
To be honest.
I didn’t want to talk.
No, I wanted to hide it forever.
But we have already won against the Constellation.
Because there is no longer even an excuse to use as a shield.
Above all, as his bride, I no longer wanted to hide the truth and my own sins.
Li Qingyu opened his mouth.
“The story of a foolish and shameless liar.”
So…
she started talking.
All the truths that have been hidden for too long.
