Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 473
#473. Aren’t you curious?
* * *
Limon has lived a long time.
I met all kinds of people that way.
Including the princesses of the previous Seven Dragons.
That’s why Limon knew the princess of the Seven Dragons better than anyone else.
It can be said that she knows more about them than the other clans, and in a sense, more than the seven princesses themselves.
But…
“…what the hell are you thinking, boss?”
Right now at this moment.
Limon didn’t know.
What the hell is this arrogant princess thinking?
“You’re asking something weird.”
“You think it’s a question that should be asked?”
“You asked for a fair price, and I gave a fair price. But what’s the problem?”
“It’s a problem because the reasonable price exceeds the national budget.”
Limon said shyly.
Fafnir is the world’s best conglomerate worth the national budget with just a 1% stake.
Considering that the stake in the Seven Dragon Group was the right to control the Seven Dragons, its value could not be converted into money.
Right now, even the princesses of the Seven Dragons are fighting to get their hands on that share.
However, I received this kind of reward just because I cooked a meal.
It was just astonishing.
But Charlotte didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
“The amount doesn’t matter. It only matters that I judge your cooking to be worth it.”
A haughty voice as usual.
However, instead of the usual drowsiness, Limon scratched his cheek as he saw Charlotte’s smile filled with strange pleasure.
“Anyway, I think this is a bit excessive.”
If Charlotte had given her a bunch of money, Limon would have accepted it saying, “Thank you, boss.”
But there are degrees of windfall.
I couldn’t help but feel guilty when I thought that I could get the money to buy a tolerable country for the price of a meal.
“Are you saying my evaluation is wrong?”
“I have no intention of underestimating the boss’s sense of taste, so don’t be angry. It just means I’m a burden.”
“Swordsmith, you are also a very tricky hound.”
You should receive what you give.
Covering the food
The owner of the lifelong spirit says that it is hard work.
Mumbled languidly for a while.
Charlotte suddenly opened her mouth.
“If it is burdensome to receive the official meal fee, how about thinking of it as tuition instead?”
“Teach the boss swordsmanship?”
“I am not talking about the sword.”
Ting- and
Charlotte lazily tapped the empty plate with her finger.
“You swordsmith teach me how to cook.”
“Aren’t you good at cooking, boss? But what are you going to do after learning how to cook my field meals?”
“Hey, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that you have to learn it, it’s just a suggestion for you who feel burdened by my reward.”
“I think it would be better if you just didn’t give me a reward.”
“There is no owner who takes away food once given to a hound.”
“That’s because the hounds might bite you.”
Limon couldn’t return the papers in the end.
There was no way this arrogant and self-respecting Gold Dragon Princess would take back what she once gave.
Thanks to that, Limon, who suddenly started teaching cooking, scratched his cheek.
‘…I’m going to have to work hard as a cook teacher for at least 10 years to get the reward I received?’
* * *
“I’m going on strike.”
“All right.”
“…doesn’t it stop?”
“Even if I try to stop it, there is a 100% chance that the princess won’t listen, so I decided not to stop it.”
“Kana, it’s been too cold lately.”
The silver-haired girl who was lying on the throne grumbled with a pouting face.
However, the maid did not raise an eyebrow.
He only responded with a colder face than usual while moving his prosthetic arm made of silver iron to operate the tablet.
“My warmth was taken away by accumulated work.”
“That way, I have more to deal with?”
“I sincerely think about 80% of them are lucky to have a competent princess.”
“…Couldn’t you say 100% at least?”
“I think I could think so if the princess wasn’t playing around.”
“Hmm, if my idle expenses are 20% of Kana’s approval, I can’t help it. I have no choice but to pay.”
It would be a headache if the superior declared that he would goof around like this.
Kana didn’t even raise an eyebrow.
It wasn’t just because Yekathrice was used to talking nonsense like an aide.
He said that he would smoke nonsense, but in reality he knew that Yekathrice was overworked every day.
It was unavoidable.
Due to repeated revolutions and the revival of demon gods, the Russian Khanate is in a mess.
In addition, financial difficulties were severe because Ainsha ran away and completely squandered the national budget.
It’s fortunate that I didn’t touch Bahamut’s property. If the head office had lost its funds, it might have had to give up on Russia.
‘Somehow, I feel like this situation was intended.’
Yekathrice suddenly thought.
Of course, Ainsha’s action of fleeing instead of preventing the revolution was the least bloody course.
However, spending the entire local budget on a cultural project that could not be eaten was a bit excessive.
Thanks to that, the silver dragon clan didn’t even care about the stake competition and was just clinging to the aftermath.
If Ainsha had chosen to run away with this outcome in mind…
“Ainsha is a scary child.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I just wanted a little brother to be a creature that really grows up.”
Laugh for a while.
Yekathrice scratched her head.
He was proud of his younger brother who had grown up one step ahead of him, but he couldn’t laugh at the fact that he died from overwork thanks to that.
“Can’t you copy EK’s electronic filing system yet? It would make things a lot easier with just that.”
“Unfortunately, R&D is still underway in that direction.”
“okay? After all, our clan is still far away.”
The title of a conglomerate with the best technology in mankind attached to Bahamut is colorless.
Yekathrice, who grumbled briefly, suddenly put on a regretful expression.
“Anyway, it’s really worth it. If the country had not been like this, I would have followed the United States.”
“Are you worried about not being able to accompany the swordsman?”
“worry? why?”
“Isn’t the swordsman with Princess Gold Dragon right now?”
It’s like saying something nonsensical.
He tilted his head and looked at Kana for a while.
Yekathrice suddenly blinked.
“Did you just ask if you were worried that your brother might be getting too close with Charlotte?”
“Currently, the most likely candidate to be the Swordsman’s bride is Princess Geumryong.”
Kana calmly pointed out.
It is a clear fact that Charlotte is at the forefront of the stake competition as long as she has succeeded in subjugating the base of the Liberation Brigade.
What if, through this incident, Charlotte gets closer to Limon and even wins his heart?
Competition itself will no longer be meaningless.
She’s the perfect princess.
Because she was the strongest, most beautiful, and noblest of the seven princesses that even other clans had no choice but to acknowledge.
“Is it really so?”
So it was.
The reason Kana asked to Yekatrice, who had a strange smile on her face, was.
“Does the princess think otherwise?”
“I admit that Charlotte is the most advanced among us. But if you ask me if I can get along with my brother… well?”
As the only Silver Dragon Princess comparable to the Gold Dragon Princess.
And as the Great Khan of the Russian Khanate, which competes with the United States of America for the top spot in the world.
Catherine, who knew Charlotte better than any other princess, put on a mischievous expression.
“Do you know why Kana Charlotte is the perfect princess?”
“It would be the wrong answer to say that it is because she is the Golden Dragon Princess.”
“huh. Because Charlotte does anything perfectly, not because she can do it, but because she can only do it.”
“Is there a difference?”
“As much as 0% and 100%.”
Others will have a hard time knowing.
The fact that he realized because he had been grunting and yelping in an attempt to beat Charlotte.
Yekathrice said meaningfully.
“When you’re a proud princess, you’ll be fine with that.”
“Because you can do what you do.”
“But if Charlotte goes beyond just making her brother a sire and wants to have a perfect relationship with her brother…”
A sire is easy to deal with.
Following the example of previous princesses.
You just have to take the perfect form.
Of course, it would be a bit complicated because the opponent is Limon and has the dragon psionic.
If that was the case, there was a high possibility that Charlotte’s personality would regard it as entertainment.
But what if you want to have a perfect relationship with Limon as a woman before you are a princess?
“Aren’t you really curious about what that arrogant perfectionist thinks of an ideal relationship?”
* * *
Slurr.
The silver comb is moving.
Golden water flowing like a waterfall.
Combing Charlotte’s golden hair, which was brighter than gold thread and softer than silk, with a comb.
Alice suddenly opened her mouth.
“Honestly, it was unexpected.”
“Did you mean I said I would settle for lodging here?”
“yes.”
The armed forces of the Golden Dragon moved to a nearby hotel.
It was because, aside from eating, I couldn’t sleep here.
But Charlotte stayed.
It was unexpected.
“Wouldn’t that be inconvenient?”
“Why is there any reason to be uncomfortable? This place is where I personally took care of and organized it.”
How could an accommodation he had renovated by himself be inferior to a hotel?
Charlotte said softly.
Elise stopped her hands abruptly.
“Is there any other reason?”
“What did you mean?”
“I thought that the existence of the swordsman had a big impact on the princess’s decision.”
“Of course, that is also the reason.”
Charlotte did not deny Elise’s point.
You seem to have noticed it well.
I only had one ray of smile.
“That swordsman is an interesting being in many ways just to watch.”
lazy as always.
However, Ellis pointed out as she brushed Charlotte’s hair, who spoke more happily than usual.
“I think it’s a bit excessive to hand over 5% of Fafnir’s shares just because it’s interesting.”
“You are saying something stupid. There was no way I would have done such a thing just for fun.”
“Are you saying the dish is worth it?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“It doesn’t matter if the princess judged that, but please refrain from such impulse purchases from now on.”
You don’t spend money on worthless things.
Hearing what Charlotte said proudly, Elise smiled.
To transfer 5% of Fafnir’s shares to a foreigner in the first place. If it was someone else’s aide, it would have been enough to pass out.
But Alice didn’t care.
I just said something lightly.
“Those who don’t know about the princess might think that she fell in love with the swordsman after seeing her share.”
“That’s another funny joke. There’s no way I would treat a hound like a man.”
listen to what she said
Charlotte snorted.
Of course, Limon is the opponent who will be his sire.
But that’s only because he has the 8th dragon psionic.
If it wasn’t for that, no matter how good he was at playing, his cooking was fantastic, and his face was handsome, he wouldn’t have made him his sire, even if he wanted to keep him by his side for the rest of his life.
At best, they would be kept as possessions or kept as hunting dogs.
But…
yes.
Yield a million times.
It’s not something I really want.
Considering the fact that she’s the one who should be adopted as a sire anyway.
“If he falls for me and asks me to go out with him, I might consider it.”
The person to fall for is Limon.
Confession is also what he should be.
That he would never fall in love with Limon first.
The princess of the Golden Dragon clan, who never tells lies, smiled proudly as she affirmed that.
