Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 340

#340. that’s mine

* * *

‘…Did you know that this smoker princess could make such a face?’

Limon was a little surprised.

As much as the always expressionless Ainsha…

No, in a sense, it was Hasneti who rarely showed emotions more than she did.

It was so unexpected that she showed her anger so blatantly.

Awesome!

But that’s for a while.

Limon frowned at the harsh sound coming from his wrist.

“If it’s permission, I got it from Pharaoh’s aide.”

“You mean Nadia let you in here?”

“okay.”

Did you not like that answer?

Or maybe it was because the imposing Limon’s attitude was unpleasant.

Limon said quietly to Hasneti, who raised her already ferocious eyes even more sharply.

“If you heard the answer, I want you to let go of my arm, Pharaoh.”

It was only after hearing that that he seemed to realize that he was holding Limon’s wrist.

She lowered her gaze slightly and looked at her hand, her eyebrows twitching.

But that’s all.

Rather than letting go, she clenched her wrists and added more strength to them.

“Get out of here.”

“You want me to leave right now? That’s a bit…”

Limon, who was about to object, kept his mouth shut.

Since this was the place where the turkeys were most likely to be found, he was trying to hold on as long as possible.

But I soon had to give up the idea.

Her seething psionics.

A hand tightly gripping the wrist.

Above all, those blue eyes.

It was because he let them know that Hasneti wouldn’t be left alone if he said a little nonsense.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

No matter how much the princesses of the Seven Dragons have a strong sense of territory and a strong desire for monopoly, how could they be so angry just for entering their own cage?

Even though he clicked his tongue inwardly at the unexpected situation, Limon finally nodded calmly.

Finding the turkey was important, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t fight Hasneti right away.

“…”

“Pharaoh?”

snap.

Maybe it was because that so cool acceptance was rather suspicious.

Hasneti, who was glaring at Limon, tugged at his wrist and lifted the tiny body.

“Pharaoh, do I have feet too?”

Ignore the flirtatious protests.

Take a moment to take a quick step.

Hasneti did not stop at escaping the cage, but only after arriving at the villa she had given him, did she release her arms holding Limon.

Then, frightened by his appearance, he spoke coldly to the slaves who knelt down.

“From now on, my entourage is prohibited from going out.”

“what?”

“Either Nadia or the elders, no matter who calls my aide-de-camp, don’t let them leave this palace.”

“Wait a minute. What do you mean?”

“If he takes even one step out of the palace in my absence…”

Whether or not Limon was dumbfounded.

Hasneti, who had been staring at the slaves without even looking at him, ended with a voice that was particularly murky than usual.

“You will have to pay with your lives.”

That was it.

It seems that the talk is over now.

Hasneti turned around and left the palace.

“No, there’s no law saying that you’ve only been out for a short while!”

Limon exclaimed in bewilderment.

But he couldn’t keep up with Hasneti.

It was because she knew that if she left the palace now, she would really dispose of the slaves.

“…Could I have been imprisoned?”

Limon, who, instead of suddenly finding the seven-colored bird, incurs the king’s wrath and becomes a concubine imprisoned in a tower, he could not help but be stunned.

beep…?

Of course, it wasn’t as much as Yuna-kyung, who was trapped in a cage, let alone a villa.

* * *

“Uh… did you call the princess?”

until just a little while ago.

Nadia believed she was lucky.

I was able to get back to work sooner than expected thanks to Limon sending me back saying he didn’t need a guide.

But at this moment.

She was sure she was most unlucky.

At best, it wasn’t just because I was called by Hasneti as soon as I returned, so my overtime work was confirmed today.

Hasneti’s eyes, more ferocious than ever as she sat on the throne and glared at her, made her feel intimidated.

Hasneti bluntly asked Nadia.

“Why?”

“yes?”

“I asked why my entourage allowed me to enter the cage.”

Nadia blinked.

It was a very stupid question to ask in such a bloody atmosphere.

“Do I have to ask three times?”

But that’s for a while.

Nadia hurriedly exclaimed, frightened at the appearance of Hasneti, who had now gone beyond ferocious momentum and even started sparking.

“Bird! The roommate said he wanted to see a bird, so I did!”

“Is that why you let my concubine into my cage without my permission?”

“That’s…”

Nadia breaks into a cold sweat.

I knew that Hasneti liked the cage enough to visit it more than once every day.

That’s why she took care of the cage herself.

However, I had no idea that Hasneti would be so angry just for taking the side room there.

That’s why Nadia, who was desperate, finally fell flat on her face.

“Sorry Princess! Stop it because the concubine said he really wanted to give the princess a present…! I will make sure it never happens again!”

Even as she begged for forgiveness, Nadia was terrified.

It was because there was no way Hasneti, who was so angry, would look at her.

Wouldn’t it be better to cut off one of your own arms and beg for forgiveness instead?

It was a time when Nadia was conflicted.

“…what do you mean he tried to give me a present?”

“uh. It must have been a pity that the princess didn’t come. So the princess said that she would like to carve a bird she likes.”

“…”

For some reason.

It was just a little while ago that I was angry as if I was going to roast myself right away.

When Nadia wonders at Hasneti, who suddenly calmed down and fell silent.

Her red lips opened.

“I will pass this time.”

“yes?”

Because Hasneti’s words were so unexpected.

How many times do you blink your eyes?

Nadia, who understood the meaning only belatedly, bowed with a thrilled expression on her face.

“Thank you for forgiving me, Princess! In the future, make sure not to disappoint the princess…”

“Take care.”

However, without even finishing the thanks, Nadia stiffened as she bowed.

“It belongs to me.”

I can’t forgive anyone who touches their own.

A descendant of a dragon with a strong desire for monopoly.

Among them, as the most passionate Red Dragon Princess.

Nadia had no choice but to frantically nod at Hasneti’s bloody eyes and warning.

“You understand?”

“yes yes. princess.”

“If you understand, put a guard on the cage and make sure no one enters it without my permission from now on.”

“I’ll do it right away.”

No matter how rare birds are collected, it is only possible to use an entire saber to protect the garden.

It was an absurd and even ignorant order, but Nadia accepted her will without hesitation.

It was because I understood that she valued this job so much.

“Then what should I do with this screening?”

That’s why Nadia cautiously asked Hasnetti while looking at him.

Other times she could have done it on her own, but she couldn’t do it again immediately after hearing these instructions.

The results were as expected.

“…I will do it myself.”

“Your princess!”

“And take action on the side of the royal villa.”

“Ah, you’re telling me to keep an eye out for a single rat going in, too?”

“no.”

“yes?”

Bewildered for a while.

Nadia eventually responded energetically to Hasneti’s instructions and withdrew from her seat.

There were parts that I didn’t understand a little bit, but anyway, a command is a command. Because she just had to do what she was told to do.

After Nadia left.

Left alone, Hasneti was lost in thought.

Nadia wouldn’t do things sloppily, given that she had given orders this far.

But if something goes wrong…

“It can’t be helped.”

Hasneti murmured softly as she stared into the air with ghastly bloody eyes.

“In that case, we have no choice but to burn the whole cage.”

* * *

“…”

She was lost in thought.

for several days already.

Even skipped a meal.

spending the night

Lost in a world of her own, her appearance was so disorganized that she could not find her usual neatness.

But she didn’t really care.

I was just concentrating on finding the answer.

It is truly a water drop stone.

Like water piercing a rock.

If you were a mathematician, you would find a clue to solve a difficult problem, and if you were a writer, it was effort and concentration that would be more than enough to create a rare masterpiece.

However, no matter how much time passed, her thoughts did not end.

No, on the contrary, it got deeper and deeper.

it was a question

it was a doubt

It was anguish.

It was a delusion.

It was a mess.

It was a consideration.

Just like snow covering a mountain causes an avalanche.

Numerous thoughts that had accumulated little by little from before collapsed at once, creating a never-ending loop of worry in her head.

So when I went to visit Li Qingyu.

I might have expected a little bit.

He said that he might be able to get this answer with the advice of Li Qingyu, the best tactician of the Seven Dragons.

But it was a vain hope.

Because the liar girl who never reveals her true feelings, rather than giving her an answer, made her immerse herself even more in agony.

Or maybe it was advice itself.

That the words of others are meaningless anyway, and it is a matter for her to figure out on her own.

Or…

“….”

The moment.

She opened her closed eyes.

What is the answer to the question that first created this endless worry?

Because I finally realized.

“okay.”

Actually, I didn’t know if that was the answer.

If there had been a clear reason in the first place, she wouldn’t have agonized over finding an answer for so long.

Still, she was sure.

this is the answer you were looking for

If this answer is correct, it is because most of the questions so far have been answered.

“Is that so?”

So it was.

Why did she close her eyes again?

It wasn’t just because he lamented his stupidity for thinking the wrong thing without even noticing such an obvious fact.

Even though I knew the answer…

No, rather, I knew the answer, so I realized the deeper delusion and confusion.

From the beginning, there was no meaning to his troubles, and the answer he found was important, but not necessary.

All you need is one thing in the end.

Because it was only a choice.

“…”

It was a problem dozens of times more difficult than the troubles she had been struggling with so far.

If you think about the results that this choice will make, you don’t know if it’s too soon to think about it for years, not days.

But why.

The difficult choice did not seem too difficult to her.

The choice she would make was, after all, pre-determined from the beginning.

End of such a long worry.

Grabbing the sword that was beside me.

-she decided.
