Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 306
#306. Meaning of Qualification.
It wasn’t just Rose who was bewildered.
Most of the Seven Dragons who were watching this meeting were all looking at Limon in amazement.
“Kyahahahahahaha!”
But at least one.
A silver-haired princess who is far from being rational even at her most sober.
Yekathrice burst out laughing.
Then, after laughing so loudly that he fell off the silver seat and rolled on the floor, he gasped for breath.
“That’s why you tell us to kill each other to get you, right? Until there is only one winner left?”
“I never told them to kill each other until the last one was left.”
“Anyway, you’re talking about a death match!”
“…”
“Good very good!”
Yekathrice giggled, putting Limon’s best answer to shame.
Then, as if bouncing off the floor, he raised his body and raised his thumb toward Limon.
“Swordsmith! I’m starting to really like you.”
Apart from the dragon psionic, I wanted to make him my sire by any means.
Seeing Ekathrice talking with a bright smile, Limon didn’t say anything more.
I just stared at the Silver Dragon Princess, who was talking like a member of the Silver Dragon clan with unwavering golden eyes.
“It’s a death match…”
And one more.
A princess who is naked and far from innately rational judgment.
Hasneti also murmured softly as she took out a new cigarette and lit it with a flick of her fingers.
“Not bad.”
“…Hasneti, do you also agree with Yekathrice?”
“Because it’s better than having table discussions over trivial stakes.”
Seeing Hasnetty speak in a muddy voice, Rose groaned.
Because I knew.
I don’t know if it’s another princess.
If it were those two, it would be enough to wage a civil war between the Seven Dragons.
I’d rather be happy with that.
Maybe World War II.
Because the princesses could have even staged a massacre to kill each other.
‘What is Li Qingyu thinking?’
So Rose turned to Li Qingyu.
In order to prevent this worst case scenario, Limon’s dragon psionics were tolerated.
Because I couldn’t figure out why he was trying to incite a conflict now.
‘I can’t help but look at you. This is not my plan.’
Li Qingyu replied with a bitter smile.
After seeing that subtle reaction, Rose looked back at Limon and groaned with a different meaning than before.
whether they are at war with each other.
Whether running a death match.
It seems that it is also a way to prove qualifications.
Limon watches the two princesses running wild without raising an eyebrow as they sit with their chins resting on the steel chair.
It was because I realized it only after seeing those calm golden eyes.
This was not Li Qingyu’s conspiracy, but Limon’s plan and decision.
“That sounds like an interesting story.”
Is it because I realized the same thing?
Charlotte smiled broadly, as if she was really interested.
Limon’s proposal was interesting in many ways, even to her, who would have snorted and crushed Li Qingyu’s conspiracy.
However, there was something I had to check before considering the proposal.
“I’ll ask the swordsman one last time.”
“What do you mean?”
“If I give you half of the stake in the Seven Dragons, can you guarantee that you will be my sire?”
“I swear by my sword.”
“What if that wasn’t enough?”
Words too insulting to say to a sword master.
But Charlotte didn’t care.
Handing over only one clan’s stake and handing over half of all stakes in the Seven Dragons Society are two different things.
It was enough to make even a sword master doubt whether he would break his oath.
That’s why Limon wasn’t particularly angry.
I just answered calmly.
“That guarantee will be made by my former master over there.”
“…the former master?”
“He’s someone who will testify that I have the means to force me to keep any contract for a fair price.”
Charlotte made a strange expression because of the wrong title rather than the content of the words.
Receiving her gaze, Maia had a cold sneer.
“You can trust me. Because I tried it myself.”
Limon’s power of scale.
Its basic principle and force.
Even the fact that he used it to force an unreasonable order on him.
After hearing Maia’s calm testimony, Charlotte looked even more intrigued, and Yekathrice’s eyes also lit up.
Especially when it comes to having him as a slave.
“indeed. I don’t know if it’s Li Qingyu, but if it’s Maia, your words are trustworthy.”
“…No matter how much I do, I have no intention of perjury in the Seven Dragons.”
Charlotte neatly ignored Li Qingyu’s objection.
just nodded
“Then good.”
what is good
She didn’t bother to elaborate.
Instead, he just looked at Limon’s golden eyes and quietly opened his mouth.
“Ekathrice Hasneti Ainsha Rose Maia.”
“Yes, teacher! Yekathrice is here. But why are you calling me?”
“Give me your controlling stake right now.”
“…what to do?”
Yekathrice blinked dumbfoundedly at the mischievous answer from earlier.
Charlotte said to her with a bewitching smile.
“If it is difficult to do it alone, isn’t it basic to cooperate with each other to provide funds and technology?”
“You mean to form a consortium over swordsmiths?”
“You can think of it as an investment. If you include Leviathan’s share, it would be enough if each of you handed over 49%.”
Rose’s face turned strange.
If this were normal business, Charlotte’s suggestion would have been natural.
In fact, the reason why Seven Dragon Corporation was able to conquer the world was because they cooperated appropriately whenever necessary.
The problem was that this consortium was very different from the previous cases.
“You’ll have the swordsmith, so we’re asking you to give us some money?”
“What is that? You’re a total dictator! Woooo!”
At Maia’s sarcastic remarks, Yekathrice raised her fist and denounced the dictator to step down.
And Hasneti also glared at Charlotte with bloody eyes.
“Charlotte, there’s no reason you’re the only one who can do good things.”
It was a very violent reaction indeed.
In hindsight, it was natural.
The dragon’s resurrection is the wish of all clans.
There was no way the girls, who wanted to punish Li Qingyu just for monopolizing the opportunity, would hand over Limon to Charlotte.
“Nothing to worry about.”
However, Charlotte did not pay attention to the gazes of the other princesses who stared at her even to the point of living.
He only proudly continued,
“I promise on my name that I will give you a chance to be satisfied if I get my hands on the swordsmanship.”
Either lend Limon in order.
Hold a dance competition and give the winner a prize.
According to the amount invested, I will give you a ‘fair’ chance to get dragon psionics.
Rose couldn’t hide her bizarre expression as she watched Charlotte calmly and weakly say absurd things.
“…You mean you won’t monopolize the swordsmanship? Charlotte you?”
Any other princess would understand.
But Charlotte, the most greedy of all the princesses of the Seven Dragons, would give up the opportunity to monopolize the dragon psionic.
It was an incredibly hard word to believe.
“Didn’t the swordsman tell us? Prove yourself.”
“That’s bridal credentials. It has nothing to do with this offer.”
“Don’t you know? What he asked me to prove was not just my qualifications as a bride.”
Charlotte chuckled.
And he spoke in a languid voice.
“It means that we really need to resurrect the dragon and prove that we are worthy to claim world supremacy with him.”
“…!”
Not to be agitated.
Limon burst out laughing.
Receiving his gaze, as if he should have noticed this much, Charlotte continued with a deep smile.
“That’s why the swordsman asked us for a majority of the shares of the Seven Dragons.”
Whether collaborating with other princesses.
Or rule by force.
Gather the shares of the Seven Dragons.
Prove that you have the vessel to rule the world by leading the seven disparate clans.
Above all, convince yourself by actions, not words, that you agree to create a dragon-ruled utopia in the process.
According to that, he himself will decide how to treat them.
A fact that some princesses had already guessed.
However, Rose groaned and asked Charlotte, who revealed his true purpose, which he was not sure about.
“So Charlotte, are you going to prove yourself worthy by giving up your desire for exclusivity?”
“Yes.”
“…But, if that’s true, don’t you need the swordsmith’s consent to distribute dragon psionics?”
“In other words, it’s possible if you get the swordsman’s consent.”
whether to persuade
or seduce
Or whether it’s a deal or a blackmail.
that he would somehow obtain consent.
After speaking arrogantly, Charlotte turned her head and faced Limon directly.
“Because this is also one of the things we have to do to prove our qualifications. Isn’t it?”
Watching the princess say that if she can get her hands on Limon only if she controls her own desires, she will suppress even the inherited desire for exclusivity along with the blood of the dragon.
The man who decided to use himself as a commodity to test his qualifications for the Seven Dragons Association answered calmly.
“At least if you can’t convince me, you can make me your sire, but you won’t be able to become my bride.”
“Hmm…”
“…”
Seeing Limon like that, Yekathrice narrowed her eyes while Hasneti kept silent.
their preferred method.
In other words, it was because he understood through the current conversation that he would not be able to persuade Limon no matter how much he got a stake in the Seven Dragons through war.
Looking back at the other princesses, including those two, Charlotte asked quietly.
“What will you do? I think this is enough to explain why I should take your share.”
“…Once you understand? But why are you speaking on the premise that Charlotte will become our representative and prove her qualifications?”
“You’re asking something obvious.”
Charlotte snorted.
Then, sitting cross-legged, he spoke with the most haughty attitude.
“Because if I can’t prove it, no one else will be able to.”
“Wow, I’m not lucky…”
“Would you like to object?”
“I’d like to say it’s obvious, but it’s not wrong, so it’s more unfortunate.”
Yekathrice grumbled.
No matter what anyone says, Charlotte is the Golden Dragon Princess.
This is because she was the strongest of the Seven Dragons and at the same time the only princess who could represent all the clans.
The White Dragon clan, who sees the future but is weak.
The brilliant but crazy silver dragon clan.
A clan of red dragons who are strong but only know how to fight.
The Blue Dragon clan is righteous but does not know compromise.
The green dragon clan is as intolerant as they are thorough in their wishes.
The clever but unreliable Black Dragon clan and others.
The other clans, each with their distinct weaknesses, wanted to represent the Seven Dragons, but lacked the ability and trust to do so.
The reason Yekathrice herself supported the war was also because there was no other way to raise stakes.
But what if you can’t prove your qualifications to Limon?
So what if he interferes with the great cause of the Seven Dragons?
After the Seven Dragons are cut in half in a war, it will be impossible to control him with the remaining power and stake.
Of course, it would be fun to do that, but even Yekathrice couldn’t prioritize her own interests ahead of the dragon’s resurrection.
So it was.
What she reluctantly made a decision.
“Ay Mr. okay! I’ll delegate a 49% stake in Bahamut and a 7% stake in Leviathan! Instead, don’t you ever forget that you have to share sword skills with me as well?”
“Don’t worry. There are no lies in our clan’s dictionary.”
After answering calmly, Charlotte turned her gaze to Hasneti.
Hasneti, who was silent at the silent urging, bit the cigarette in her mouth.
And he said in a muffled voice.
“There are conditions.”
“What is it?”
“If you let me decide how to distribute the dragon psionics, I will entrust you with a 100% stake in Apophis and a 7% stake in Leviathan.”
“You mean all of Hou’s shares?”
“I bet you were the one who said stop when you make money again.”
“That’s right.”
Whether or not the girl in the military uniform behind her made a fainting expression.
Hasneti entrusted the stake without hesitation.
Charlotte gladly accepted.
It was obvious that this was the distribution method Hasneti would propose anyway.
As a result, she secured more than 38% of the shares in the Seven Dragons Association.
Even if only one or two more clans acquired shares, the 51% condition proposed by Limon could be satisfied.
So Charlotte turned her gaze to the side.
“Now it is your turn to decide.”
A woman who was silent with a hard face.
He can never betray the Seven Dragons because he has a clear conscience.
That’s why she quietly called out to the blue-haired princess, whose answer had already been decided.
“rose.”
