Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 1055

#Side Story 24. Snowflakes falling on the tip of a sword (2)

* * *

Anastasia after the sword.

Most of the eight students that Limon taught had unusual personalities, but she was especially special.

In the sense that he was the most obedient and kind disciple.

This is because he follows his teachings too faithfully, which sometimes embarrasses even Limon.

Above all, his calm and serene personality always put my mind at ease just by being around him.

Just as the sight of snow falling calms the mind.

“Ahhhhhhhh.”

That was why.

Right now at this moment.

The sight of Anastasia, with her face bright red and constantly letting out scream-like moans, was bound to be unfamiliar.

He covered the blindfold with both hands as if he couldn’t bear to see.

But I couldn’t look away, just between my fingers.

Limon thought as he watched her struggling and not knowing what to do every time the video changed.

‘As expected, my bride is cute.’

It was a thought that only a fool with a beady wife could think of, but at the same time, it was a fact that no one could deny.

Where has my usual calm gone?

The sight of her showing agitation and shame all over her body was so cute.

Well, it had to be that way.

It’s embarrassing to even look at the diary I wrote when I was young.

The image unfolding before their eyes was the dark history of Anastasia after the sword itself.

[If I have to become evil to save the country, I will gladly become evil.]

“Ahh!”

[Princess of the Demonic Cult, I will use the wealth you have gathered illegally for the good of this country.]

“Black!”

[Don’t you know that what you stole was not just money, but the future and hope of this country?]

“Ah ah.”

After becoming a Sword Master, she left the Sword Tower and returned to the Soviet Union to become Empress herself.

As a result of plundering the Silver Dragon clan in order to somehow feed the people, exploitation is further accelerated.

Leaving politics in the hands of corrupt high-ranking party members causes the country to decline further, etc.

Anastasia felt her face burning as she watched the embarrassing past, which cut into her heart just thinking about it, vividly replayed.

In particular, the more actresses who looked similar to her performed, the more disoriented she became.

And…

the end finally came.

[Master, please do not forgive the girl.]

“Ahhhh…”

He thought as he saw the actress who played Limon aim her sword at him and Anastasia, who was completely defeated.

At best, no one could have imagined that a movie could become a weapon that even a sword master could wield.

* * *

“How do you feel, Asha?”

“….”

“Hmm, I had quite a bit of fun, but you didn’t seem to like it very much.”

“….”

“Well, don’t worry too much. There are more movies that The Foolish Princess recommended as masterpieces. “The next movie will be more interesting than this one.”

That moment.

Anastasia, who had been silently ignoring Limon, finally raised her head.

And after looking at him intently through the blindfold, after a while, he opened his mouth in a voice that was several times heavier than usual.

“Air. “I dare say that the movie is extremely exaggerated and distorted.”

“okay?”

“That’s right. “I have no intention of disparaging the people who made that movie, but there are many parts that are different from the facts.”

“Hmm, that’s unexpected. According to the Foolish Princess, the movie was so faithful to historical facts that its release was banned in the Russian Khanate.”

“…Did you deliberately choose such a movie to make fun of your friend?”

“Half?”

“….”

He bowed his head deeply.

The air became even heavier.

Limon chuckled and opened his mouth again, seeing something he had never seen before even though she had taught and raised her since she was young.

“Don’t pout so much. “There is another important reason.”

“What reason do you have?”

“Yeah… hmm?”

I was just about to answer.

Limon suddenly frowned.

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the entrance, falling into silence.

Thanks to that, Geomhu, who was waiting for his answer, eventually became more glum than before.

“Are you making fun of Socheop again…?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “I felt like someone was watching.”

“…I didn’t feel it.”

“okay? Hmm, then I guess it was just my mood.”

If someone was watching, there was no way she, the sword master, wouldn’t have felt it.

Seeing her beloved teacher teasing her with obvious lies, Anastasia felt a sadness she had never felt in her life.

It seems like he sensed that disappointment.

Limon cleared his throat and opened his mouth seriously again.

“It may have been a little embarrassing to you, but the movie was really well made.”

“…Is that so?”

“okay. “It is rare to find a work that properly expresses that you were not a mere oppressor and tyrant, but a princess who wanted to save the country.”

“….”

It was natural.

When she reigned as Empress.

The number of people who starved or froze to death in the Soviet Union due to bad governance was incalculable.

Of course, the Soviet Union and its corrupt senior party members were largely responsible, as everything was a mess from the beginning.

But history remembers only the winners.

No matter what the circumstances were.

There were few people who tried to dig into and understand the truth about her being a failed ruler.

This is especially true since the Silver Dragon clan ruled the Russian Khanate and taught history in a way that was advantageous to them.

“Now it will be hard to find people who think of you as an oppressor.”

Of course, that’s a thing of the past.

After the monster wave starts.

Everyone knows how much she dedicated herself to protecting humanity and how many people were able to survive thanks to it.

Now, if you accuse her of being an oppressor, you will be pelted with stones.

“So, Asha, you don’t have to be stuck in the past forever.”

“….”

“Because you are now my bride before being a disciple, and you have the right to be as happy as you want.”

She refrained from extravagance. Because he was the last surviving member of the imperial family who died in the revolution.

She valued moderation. Because he was a disciple of Limon who lived a frugal life.

She refrained from being dogmatic. Because he was a ruler who ruined the country.

Living life.

one by one.

The result of letting go of greed.

To the disciple and priest who, despite being an absolute being, did not pursue wealth and fame, but rather lived a simple life like a monk and only followed him.

Limon said calmly.

“So from now on, enjoy life as freely as you want.”

“Are you speaking freely?”

“okay.”

Wear pretty clothes.

Eat something delicious.

Going on a trip to a far away place

Find a fun hobby.

He taught her too late, telling her to

cry, laugh, and do more as she wanted, something she should have done in the past before she left the sword tower.

Limon stretched out a hand.

And she spoke softly, stroking the eyepatch she still wore to hide the evidence that she was descended from the Silver Dragon clan.

“Don’t forget. “The fact that you are happy and joyful is my happiness.”

“….”

“But being too free, like your sister-in-law and your brother-in-law, is also a problem.”

When the son of a sword demon got married, Geomhwa even spent his money to gift a mountain of potatoes, creating the tradition of the Potato Festival in Romania.

Geomryeong was the one who beat up Geomrang, who kept disturbing her sleep, and Geomrang, who defrauded the Continental Defense Corps by secretly selling her name.

Geom-in, who tried to break down all borders and create a world-wide unified government, and Geom-gwang, who came to Geomtap with all kinds of excuses.

Like an old man lost in memories, I see Limon smiling as he tells the story of other disciples who gave him trouble because he was too free.

I forgot.

One time to close and open your eyes.

Anastasia gently opened and closed her lips.

Then, as if he realized something, he slightly shook his shoulders and became agitated, but after a long silence, he opened his mouth.

“Do you really want your concubine to live according to her desires?”

“Of course.”

“…Is that greed too excessive and could be a nuisance to others as well as the industry?”

“But it doesn’t matter. “If your greed is truly wrong, I will stop it first.”

Was it only then that a decision was made?

After thinking for a while, Anastasia finally raised her head, faced Limon, and opened her mouth.

“Then I have a request to make to you.”

“Tell me.”

Limon nodded willingly.

I was willing to listen to whatever request she had.

In fact, as the absolute of absolutes, he had the power to even take a star from the sky if he wanted to.

But….

“If possible, from now on, please allow Socheop to serve the sky every day.”

“…Asha, I told you to pursue your own happiness more freely.”

“That’s why I ask you a favor.”

He said that it was his desire to help him on a regular basis, not just a few times a month when it was his turn.

Extremely polite.

But I confess it clearly.

Anastasia spoke with sincerity.

“If the happiness of Socheop is the happiness of the Chamber of Commerce, then serving the Chamberlain is the happiness of the Chamberlain.”

“….”

“And the Lord of Commerce said there was no need to be tied to the past, but there are also precious memories in the girl’s past.”

His fateful meeting with Limon, who appeared like a prince before him while he was being chased by a pack of wolves in a snow-covered forest.

The happy days we spent together at Geomtap, receiving his teachings and helping him.

And even the sad separation that had to end in death because of his own stubbornness.

He says that they are all precious memories to him and that he is happy if they are tied down.

She bowed her head slightly.

“So please forgive my concubine who cannot follow the instructions of the Chamber of Commerce.”

“…You’re such a stubborn person that I can’t stop you, Asha.”

After staring blankly at the bride who found happiness in serving and helping herself rather than decorating and enjoying herself.

Limon ended up smiling bitterly.

“I can’t help it. “If you’re going to take care of my happiness, I have no choice but to take care of your happiness.”

How difficult it was to convince her, who was the most obedient yet most stubborn student.

Because I knew it better than anyone else.

He said he would make her happy more than she made him happy.

After hearing what he calmly declared, Anastasia lowered her head.

“I am only sorry for causing trouble to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry due to my excessive greed.”

“There is no need for an apology. Because, as I already said, your happiness is also my happiness.”

They do not actually pursue their own happiness because they consider pursuing the happiness of others as their own happiness.

In some sense it may be codependency.

But it still didn’t matter.

That’s what a couple is.

Even if we only have one wing, if we stay together, we can fly anywhere, just like Biik Yeon-ri.

Although they may be lonely and imperfect when alone, when they are together, they are a being and relationship that can make them more complete and happier than anyone else.

“and…. “Can I be greedy one more time?”

That was why.

After hearing Anastasia’s lowly whispered request with a rare blush as if she was a little embarrassed.

Limon, who was laughing, lowered his head without the slightest hesitation as if this was what he had hoped for.

side.

Just like that…

the two lips overlap.

The slender body was moved to the bed.

While my fingers are slipping through my thin dress.

Like snowflakes that gently wrap around a sharp blade and a blade that cools the delicate snowflakes so they don’t melt.

The two priests taught and learned and made each other sad, but now they decided to be happy together and quietly shared love.
