#587. Keep in mind.

“I want to know if I still have no contact with Tartary.”
“I’m sorry, Princess. The Black Dragon Clan just says they can’t allow it, so it’s going to take some time.”
“Li Qingyu is too much…”
An expressionless white-haired girl.
Ainsha muttered sullenly.
I had heard that Limon had returned from his work in Africa, so I thought I would just contact him.
Thanks to the black dragon clan blocking it in the middle, I couldn’t even hear your voice, let alone video contact.
If the contact is good, I will go to the hospital.
Also, it was a pity for Ainsha, who was expecting a little that she might have a good time while she was gone.
“I don’t know what you mean by not letting me contact you.”
Looking at Ainsha, who bluntly expresses her displeasure.
Tata said after thinking about it.
“Isn’t it surprising that you didn’t have much thought?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“It’s been a while since the Black Dragon Princess saw the swordsmith, so you might want to monopolize it even for a moment.”
“It can’t be.”
The princess of the Seven Dragons is a dragon descendant.
The desire to monopolize is so strong.
He wondered if Li Qingyu had acted lightheartedly to prevent the other princesses from meeting each other in order to spend a little time together with Li Mon.
Denying Tata’s guess.
Ainsha pointed out expressionlessly.
“I want to know if you have ever seen Tata Li Qingyu get emotional.”
“Of course not.”
“That’s right. Li Qingyu never expresses his feelings openly. We always act rationally.”
When a normal person gets angry, he is just frankly angry.
But Li Qingyu is different.
whether there is something happy
whether there is something to be angry about
hiding your feelings.
Every word and expression must contain an intention, calculate what to do to be most effective, and use and manipulate the opponent.
That is her natural instinct as the Black Dragon Princess.
It was the nature of liars.
Even when he knew that he belonged to Limon, he only smiled bitterly and didn’t even show his jealousy.
To be honest, even if she likes Limon, it would be acceptable if it was just a performance to get dragon psionics.
That’s why Ainsha was rather sure.
“There’s no way Li Qingyu would have done this impulsively.”
If she tried to monopolize Limon.
prepare more thoroughly.
Use cunning tricks.
It would have prevented the other princesses from interfering.
So there must be a hidden intention this time too.
Looking at Ainsha who asserted with an expressionless face, Tata nodded and said,
“I’ll pay more attention to the movements of the Black Dragon Clan from now on.”

Headquarters in Quezzacoatl.
There was a strange silence in the parlor near the top floor.
Dark, dull black eyes.
Dark, cold green eyes.
The silence created by the two princesses staring into each other’s eyes froze everything around them.
“…In short, is this what you mean?”
in that silence.
In the end, it was the black-haired girl who spoke first.
“You said that my proposal itself was a plan and conspiracy to eventually destroy the swordsmith?”
calm voice.
A grinning smiley face.
It’s like when you lost your smile.
At the end of looking at Li Qingyu, who asked with a calm attitude, not the slightest difference from usual.
Maya said.
“Of course, that is unlikely.”
“is that so?”
“It doesn’t make sense to use dragon psionics to destroy the swordsman in the first place.”
Nobody knew that Limon had dragon psionics.
Even Limon himself and Maia could not have expected that he would fall into the coin intoxication like this.
No matter how much Li Qingyu was, it was impossible for him to know all this from the beginning and plot something like this.
Even if he had known, he couldn’t have planned to lose the dragon psionic, which was the Seven Dragons’ long-cherished wish, in such a futile way.
“Then why did you say this?”
Why did you sneer at yourself even knowing that fact?
Li Qingyu asked calmly.
Maia said coldly.
“As I said, everything is too complicated.”
“What?”
“The fact that Li Qingyu neglected even the long-standing grudge of the clan and proposed to the swordsman, and that he had a dragon psionic.”
“…”
“It’s not overly exquisite.”
Of course, the world doesn’t roll by necessity alone.
If more than a billion people buy a lottery ticket, there will be at least one winner.
Just like how over a billion people buy a lottery ticket and no winner comes out, one person gets the accumulated prize money several times.
Coincidence alone can create conspiracy-like results more than any conspiracy.
That’s why there are conspiracy theories.
In that sense, the cunning was also something that could be accepted as an excessive coincidence.
But…
“Above all, I have a persistent suspicion that you are hiding something.”
The green dragon clan does not forget Eun-won.
Maia speaks of a sense of incongruity that she could feel because she remembers the resentment of her ancestors more deeply than any other princess.
At the end of staring at her.
Li Qingyu calmly replied.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“…Is that your answer?”
“Because I can’t say I know something I don’t know.”
“If you don’t want to say anything, do as you like. Hiding a secret is your freedom.”
It’s like I wasn’t expecting it.
Maia held on to a cold sneer.
And, as usual, he spoke in a pessimistic voice.
“But there is one thing I must tell you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“No matter what you hide or plan. As a doctor, I will do my best to treat him.”
“I have to ask for that…”
“Also in the opposite sense.”
“…”
slowly.
Maia raised her hand.
and his own pale wrists.
No, to be precise, he continued, showing the tattoo of a scale on his wrist.
“If he is driven to madness by the coin intoxication, I will kill him.”
“….”
“That is my contract with him. I don’t need your request for me to heal and kill the swordsman.”
scale of the contract.
A tattoo that enforces an absolute contract that even Limon cannot go against because it was made with Limon’s own power, not anyone else’s.
No need to use the power of a sword gun.
After staring intently at the tattoo, which symbolizes that he gave up
his own lifeline so that she could kill her .
Li Qingyu nodded.
“I must have been presumptuous.”
Even if she was the bride of Limon, she had no right to ask Maia for him.
After calmly agreeing.
she said suddenly.
“But Maia, keep that in mind too.”
“What do you mean?”
“If something goes wrong with the swordsman, you will die too.”
“What a matter of course…”
“It doesn’t mean that you will die because of the lifespan.”
Shaking my head slightly.
Li Qingyu smiled. A smile
that is deeper and calmer than usual,
and therefore terrifyingly beautiful.
“It means I will kill you the most painfully.”
“…”
“As a bonus, I’ll destroy your clan as well.”
“…”
“So Maia.”
Perhaps it was because he did not know that he had heard such an outright threat from Li Qingyu, who was no one else.
Just keep silent and raise your eyebrows.
Looking straight at Maia, who was silent without saying a word.
Li Qingyu ended his speech with a voice that did not feel the warmth at all, unlike the smile on his face.
“I hope you will do your best to avoid using that balance.”
That was it.
Instead of asking for Limon.
Leaving only bloody threats behind.
Because Li Qingyu left.
Even after she disappeared, Maia couldn’t wake up.
He just stared blankly at the place where Li Qingyu was, and after a long time passed, he quietly opened his mouth.
“…it’s unexpected.”
It was just a light provocation to get inside.
I never thought that Li Qingyu, who was not another princess, would fall for such an obvious trick and openly show her feelings.
It was unexpected.
It made me think that even the scene just now might have been Li Qingyu’s play to deceive himself.
But Maia soon had no choice but to deny that idea.
A smile like that mask.
A cold voice.
Above all, the sad blue eyes.
The appearance of Li Qingyu she had just seen was telling her that it was not a play at all.
It must have been that Limon’s indulging in the magic spell made her so agitated that she couldn’t even control her emotions.
That fact means one thing.
“After all, Li Qingyu was already broken too?”
I first proposed to him.
A princess who has lived longer than anyone else.
What is the secret that Li Qingyu is hiding and how much she has been broken since when?
At the end of thinking alone.
Maia shook her head.
In the end, unless Li Qingyu speaks directly, he won’t be able to figure out the answer.
Above all, there was no time to waste on useless worries.
It was because it was by no means an empty word to say that he would do his best to cure Limon’s syphilis.
Of course, his condition is special.
For now, there was no other way but to rely on Seven Arcs.
But I had no intention of leaving my hands alone.
There was a time when even a cold was a deadly disease, and serious infectious diseases can be treated as long as a cure is found after research.
Originally, there is a cure for any disease.
It’s just that it’s difficult to find the cure, so it’s considered impossible to heal.
And she is the best in the world.
He was an expert more than anyone else when it came to finding new ways to heal.
In fact, the cure for the lippharmacy she taught Limon wasn’t the only one.
Just…
smart.
“princess. I have something to report.”
“Could you excuse me for a moment?”
“…what’s going on?”
Maia heard a knock and slipped out of her thoughts.
Twin sisters entered the drawing room.
Barbara and Arbella knelt in front of her and reported.
“The drug from before has been rediscovered.”
“Where are you talking?”
“It’s not just one or two places.”
illegal drug dealer.
small-time smuggler.
Even the bundle seller.
Upon hearing Barbara’s report that a special drug was being circulated in all directions, Maia raised her eyebrows.
It’s still a busy situation.
In the midst of this, the news brought by the two sisters was not welcome at all.
Whether as chairman of Quetzalcoatl, which dominated the world’s medical business.
Whether it’s as the green dragon princess who controls all drug distribution networks.
So she asked in a cold voice.
“Are the ingredients the same as before?”
“We haven’t finished the detailed ingredient analysis yet, but the effect is the same.”
“What is the source?”
“I couldn’t pinpoint it precisely because the distribution channels were so different, but from what I’ve figured out so far, it seems to be that way too.”
Listen to the report of the two sisters.
Maia slowly reached out.
And what Arbella brought.
A mysterious drug that has been circulating on the black market around the world for some time now and is spreading at an alarming rate.
He opened his mouth quietly as he lifted up a blood-red vial called Potion.
“Finally, that quack has started moving.”
