Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 387
#387. You are a strange sister.
* * *
“Ainsha I specially prepared this, right? It’s a snack made by a top-notch patissier who’s famous in Moscow these days…”
“No need. Tata’s crembo tastes better.”
“Don’t draw it and try it once. Is this really delicious?”
“It’s done.”
The princess of the Seven Dragons is a dragon descendant.
It was a being that was born from an egg.
Therefore, siblings in the true sense of the word could not exist for the princesses.
A princess lays only one egg in her lifetime.
Even if she gets pregnant again later, the only person born is a human with a little dark blood, and it cannot be the same kind as the princess who inherited the dragon’s blood.
That is why even Tata, the sister of the previous White Dragon Princess, was respected as an aide and had no special privileges.
Not to mention, princesses from different clans couldn’t be sisters.
Even if the two princesses gave birth to the same man as their wives, they couldn’t even become formal half-sisters because of the difference in dragon blood.
Of course, it is impossible for the princess of the Seven Dragons, who has a strong desire for monopoly, to share her sire.
This is because the pure blood of the dragon they inherited does not tolerate other impurities.
[…In short, it’s because Gongju’s unnies can never mix blood, right?]
“Basically, it’s like that.”
[Then, what is ‘that’?]
A white-haired girl with an expressionless face and a silver-haired girl clinging to her while holding a plate of snacks in one hand.
Looking at Ainsha and Catherine, Yuna-kyung was shaken.
Everywhere I looked, the two of them could only be seen as identical twins or older sisters.
In response to her question, Limon put on a strange expression.
“To be precise, the cases of the Silver Dragon Princess and the White Dragon Princess are slightly different.”
[How is it different?]
“In the sense that blood may be mixed even in distant ancestors.”
[A while ago, they said blood could never be mixed?]
“That’s between princesses.”
[Yes?]
“This is a story that is not even written in the scriptures of the Seven Dragons, but is only passed on to the Silver Dragon clan…”
A story that few people know even in the Seven Dragons.
Limon scratched his cheek and told him a legend he knew because he had been fighting the Seven Dragons since the Bronze Age.
“According to legend, the two originally had the same distant ancestor.”
[The ancestors are the same. Anyway, it’s the same princess after all…?]
Yuna-gyeong, who was casually arguing, suddenly shut her beak.
Then, after blinking a few times, he asked with an absurd expression on his face.
[Wait a minute?]
“Yes. It is said that Ji Baek Ryong Hyun-gun, the founder of the White Dragon Clan, and Jae Eun-Ryong Seong-gun, the founder of the Silver Dragon Clan, were originally sisters.”
[Really?!]
“I don’t know.”
[…Yes?]
“I don’t know either. You said in the first place that this was an unconfirmed story.”
Limon said sullenly.
From the beginning, the seven dragons were dormant to avoid ancient disasters even before the Golden Age began, only to wake up at the end of the Silver Age.
No matter how much he had lived since the Bronze Age, he had no way of knowing the genealogy of the seven dragons in detail.
It was all the more so in that he became a disciple of the Sword Emperor long after Ji Baekryonghyeon’s death.
Moreover, since there had been so many rumors about the seven dragons, it was hard to believe them all.
Still, there is one reason why he remembered this rumor.
“Anyway, I don’t know if it’s because of that or if it’s a coincidence, but among the silver dragon princesses and white dragon princesses of all time, there are times when a princess with a very similar appearance was born.”
[Are you saying this as if you heard only rumors?]
“Because I heard only rumors.”
[Why?]
“I couldn’t see the face of most of the previous White Dragon Princesses.”
Limon shrugged.
The Seven Dragons have been hiding as a criminal organization.
Among them, even Limon had a hard time catching the tail of the Princess of the White Dragon Clan, who jumped out quickly at the slightest sign of his foreknowledge.
So, it was the first time he had ever seen princesses that looked exactly like him during the last meeting of the Seven Dragons.
Yu Na-gyeong scratched her head as she saw Limon talking calmly.
[To summarize, it’s not really sisters, but it’s a relationship that could be something like a distant relative?]
“At least the Silver Dragon princess seems to think that they are sisters once blood is mixed.”
[Does the white sister, on the other hand, think she has no sisters?]
“Would you like to have a sister like that?”
At Limon’s point, Yuna-kyung slightly averted her eyes.
And when he saw Yekathrice looking for a chance to cling to Ainsha, pretending to offer sweets, he muttered inadvertently.
[…I can understand the white sister’s feelings.]
It’s a no-brainer even if you give her that kind of sister.
When Yuna-gyeong nodded her head after inadvertently agreeing.
After trying to pinch Ainsha’s soft cheeks several times, Ekatriche failed and narrowed her eyes.
“Ainsha, have you become really arrogant? I never dreamed of daring to refuse this sister’s gift before.”
“I am different from before. This is New Ainsha. It hurts my nose if I think of it the same way it used to be.”
“It’s not the new Ainsha, it’s the same if you become the Super Ultimate Ainsha?”
“If you think so, I will attack you.”
It seems like they are asking you to use force as much as you want.
Ainsha raised her psionic power.
The moment Yekathrice saw that scene, she smiled strangely and wanted her hands to blur.
“stop.”
Oksu Seom, who was about to take off Ainsha’s veil, hesitated.
The blue hem of the dress that was about to be swung to free Yekathrice’s hand sank.
Limon, who had prevented the fierce battle that almost took place at supersonic speed, continued by tapping the handle of his sword while sitting in his seat.
“If you don’t intend to drop a perfectly fine plane, do it in moderation. Or else I’ll let you do it in moderation.”
“It’s not my fault. It’s because of Yekatrice who was trying to exercise her skills.”
Ainsha’s action was immediate.
He rushed to Limon and hid behind him, passing the responsibility on to Yekathrice.
When Yuna-gyeong loses her senses when she sees the behavior reminiscent of a child telling stories.
Yekathrice put on an intrigued expression.
“Huh. What did my younger brother believe in and wanted to stand up to me like this, and you, the swordsman, seem to have accepted him quite a bit?”
“It’s not the stupid princess who’s fooling around, it’s your crazy princess.”
“I’ve never been particularly childish of you, have I?”
“Even if you’re not acting like a child, you’re running amok like a puppy that got a bone.”
“Oh, admit it.”
I was treated like a dog all of a sudden.
On the contrary, Limon frowned as he saw Yekathrice laughing and enjoying herself.
“The last time I saw you at the Seven Dragons Branch, you were a bit better, but why are you having seizures today?”
“At that time, I tried to restrain myself as much as possible. Why don’t you feel a little embarrassed when you mention your family relationship even at work?”
“It’s not my family. So don’t treat them like family.”
“Ainsha is true too. You don’t have to be so ashamed of having an older sister who is too deserving of it.”
Do you think I can’t speak?
Unlike her still expressionless face, Ainsha is showing signs of disapproval through her eyes.
On the contrary, Limon clicked his tongue as he saw Yekathrice, who was more amused the more he received such stares.
‘Anyway, what is a silver dragon princess…’
This is why the silver dragon clan is annoying.
Even the Black Dragon Clan can talk about it.
It’s because the proper dialogue with the silver dragon clan, especially the silver dragon princess, is not established at all.
That’s why Limon asked openly.
“Crazy princess, what are you thinking?”
“What are you thinking?”
“At most, they invited us and asked why you came to meet us.”
“Don’t you have any idea?”
“…no intentions?”
“Yeah, I just came because I wanted to see my brother as soon as possible.”
“Did you invade the territory of another princess without prior notice for that reason…?”
“How are you? If it’s Li Qingyu’s opinion, then it’s enough to go to war or apologize.”
“….”
Seeing Catherine’s silver eyes full of sincerity, Limon massaged his temples without realizing it.
If it were another princess, of course it would be a lie.
It was because the opponent was the opponent, so it was difficult to judge the authenticity even with him.
Wow.
“Ah, we finally arrived.”
[Eh?]
Fortunately, that worry was quickly over.
It was because the vertical take-off and landing plane they were riding was landing before Limon had time to continue his worries.
[What is so fast? Less than 30 minutes have passed since we left.]
While Yuna-kyung was taken aback by the tremendous speed, Catherine jumped up from her seat.
And the moment she pushed the button and opened the vertical take-off and landing plane wide open.
Yuna-kyung was stunned.
Perbung! Beep!
Cheek parala bum parala!
“Salute to the Great Khan!”
“Ura!”
Flames and smoke colored the sky.
A military band that plays solemnly like an orchestra.
The cavalry on gallant warhorses all lined up in rows and saluted.
Yuna-kyung couldn’t close her beak at the crowded crowd that seemed like it was about to explode because it couldn’t fill the airport.
[What is this…?]
Of course, as I received a welcome ceremony when I went to Brazil, I expected it to some extent this time as well.
However, the welcome ceremony for the Russian Khanate far exceeded her expectations.
An honor guard with no end in sight.
Tank troops firing salutes.
Fighter jets flying in formation and spraying smoke.
In particular, the crowd of 100,000 who drew gigantic silver and white dragons by waving their flags in sync with their hand movements made even Limon stunned.
“…The welcome is grandiose.”
“Ah what. My younger brother came to Korea, and this is only natural.”
It really doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Yekathrice, who waved lightly, took the lead and guided them to the vehicle.
It was a tolerable building, decorated with colorful flowers all over, and there was no roof, so the seats were exposed.
At this point, I can’t tell if this is a welcome ceremony or some kind of National Foundation Day parade.
“Ainsha, welcome! I’ve got a seat ready for you!”
“….” Let
’s look at Yekathrice, who goes up to the flower carriage first and smiles and knocks on the seat next to her, for a while.
Ainsha moved on.
“huh? why go back It’s a car prepared for the kids who followed you.”
rattle chin.
“Swordsmith? Why are you riding there too?”
“Get off quickly.”
“No wait! I prepared this wagon really hard, right? I personally picked and pasted the flowers here as well, so are you ignoring them like this?”
“We leave immediately. If you don’t, I’ll just go back.”
“Come on guys!”
It was a moment.
Yekathrice gave the order and the procession of dozens of cars started moving.
Seeing this, Yuna-kyung murmured involuntarily.
[You’re a really unique older sister.]
“She’s really amazing. It’s to the point where I hear that from you, who has a quirky personality and is second to none.”
[Okay, not… Wait a minute? What does that mean? What’s wrong with my personality!]
At Limon’s words, Yuna-kyung inadvertently became furious.
Even she didn’t want to be compared to Catherine.
Among all the unique princesses of the Seven Dragons, Catherine’s personality was so unusual that even the other princesses seemed ordinary.
“Hey, Ainsha. Can’t I ride there too? It’s too boring to ride this alone.”
…even though hundreds of thousands of welcome crowds are watching.
It was like that just by ignoring all gazes and sticking out backwards from the carriage to talk to her.
“Absolutely not.”
“Oh, don’t do that. Instead, I will later…”
While Yekatriche was talking to Ainsha through the wide open window.
Taaang!
“Die, you evil dictator!”
A loud gunshot rang out.
Loud shouts erupt.
With a bullet lodged in her temple, Yekathrice’s neck snapped vertically.
