Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 891

#891. How did it go?

* * *

Squeeze.

The teacup is full.

Elegant, beautiful and fragrant.

The clear tea water filled with luxurious porcelain gleams in the midst of sparkling clear brilliance.

holding it with a gentle hand.

After smelling it.

Gently tilt the teacup.

After tasting the hot tea water seeping through her slightly parted red lips with her soft tongue, she passed it down her throat.

After finishing all the moves gracefully.

she opened her mouth.

“—It’s a good car.”

“That’s an overestimation.”

“No, I am serious. A tea that has such a clear scent and is soft and smooth is precious.”

“I’m glad you said that.”

Rose smiled lightly.

Even though she refrained from extravagance, this car was admirable enough even by her standard of eating and using only the best as a princess’s duty.

Is it because I feel the sincerity?

A little bit of a laugh.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

Li Qingyu, with a strange smile, added a meaningful message.

“I had a hard time finding a car that was as good as the blue blend.”

“…Li Qingyu.”

“Yes Rose.”

At the end of looking at Li Qingyu, who was smiling brightly as if he was asking what was wrong, with a slightly reddened face.

Rose gently averted her eyes.

“I’m sorry about what happened then.”

“What do you mean?”

“…”

“I’m sorry. Rose, I didn’t know you could make a face like this.”

shame and remorse, etc.

Li Qingyu chuckled at Rose, who, unlike her always elegant and noble woman, looked at Rose with a face that wanted to go into a rat hole right away.

Then, raising the teacup, he said calmly.

“Don’t take it to heart. After all, I did the same thing at the time.”

last year.

After going to Africa with Limon.

When we had a tea party with Rose, who came with tea.

The one who threatened Rose, who even abandoned his beliefs and slept with him and tricked everyone.

And she, who provoked Li Qing-yu by showing off the traces Limon left behind, and returned the threat.

In the end, it’s called the skin wavelength.

As the Black Dragon Princess of conspiracies and conspiracies sees her dismissing the crimes she has committed with the determination of a lifetime as just a trivial argument.

Rose couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Of course, sharing refreshments like this again with the girl who thought they would completely break up after that day.

I never thought I’d be able to talk about what happened back then like a joke.

Until then… No, not long ago, it was something Rose could never have imagined.

However, Li Qingyu smiled.

“Above all, it was nothing to do wrong or regret.”

“…Do you think so?”

“Rather, I would like to ask. If you could turn back time and go back to the past, would you, Rose, give up your swordsmanship?”

“…”

Hearing that question.

Rose kept her mouth shut.

No, I had no choice but to close.

Sharing a lover who loved and wanted to be loved even to the extent of abandoning his lifelong beliefs.

She was the one who accepted all of her own sins that she had committed to monopolize him.

now i knew

His actions at the time were excessive.

After all, what matters is his heart.

No matter how much he kept the other princess in check, it meant nothing in the sense that he couldn’t change his mind, and even if it had meaning, it was something he shouldn’t have done.

Still, Rose didn’t answer.

no i couldn’t answer

Because I knew.

No matter how many times I turn back time, I know that I will make the same choice.

Because…

“You don’t have to answer. After all, the essence is a law that cannot be changed.”

“…”

“Whether it’s a human or a dragon.”

They are descendants of dragons.

bound by their own territory.

It is the incarnation of exclusivity with a maniacal obsession with treasure.

Even more so, it was instinctively impossible to concede to a partner you would never see again in your life, no matter how much you understood and accepted it with your head.

Li Qingyu did not laugh at Rose, who could not bear to deny her point.

I just muttered bitterly.

“…Just as the sins of ex-convicts do not go away no matter how long they decide to reform themselves in prison.”

That moment.

Rose felt a strange feeling.

Obviously, it is Li Qingyu who is to blame, and it is he who should reflect and apologize.

Because the bitter smile on her face made me feel as though I was not being blamed.

Rather, it was close to the opposite.

So it was.

Why did Rose impulsively ask?

“Is that so?”

“What do you mean?”

“Li Qingyu is the reason why you dare to yield to us while suppressing your monopoly on swordsman.”

she wanted to ask.

Although Li Qingyu, who was the first to propose to Limon and was accepted, deserves recognition as the first bride.

Even in this situation where I still haven’t received the ring, far from expressing dissatisfaction even once.

The reason why he backed out every time there was a fight over Limon.

Was it actually because of the guilt of leading the world peace plan and leading to the downfall of Limon?

Li Qingyu did not answer Rose’s question with a complicated expression on her face.

Instead, he just smiled meaningfully.

“So that was the real reason you came to me.”

“…!”

“There is no need to panic. Yekathrice had already left after seeing me.”

“…Ekathrice?”

“Yeah, it seemed that the meaning of the warning about me was stronger.”

I feel like I’ve been caught off guard in many ways.

Li Qingyu covered her mouth and laughed as she looked at Rose, who had hardened while holding the teacup.

Then, putting down the teacup, he said calmly.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of taking sides with any of you.”

who did it

Cliques arise when there are only two of them.

Politics is what happens when only three people come together.

In that sense, Li Qingyu had no intention of intervening in the quarrel among the princesses over Li Mon’s favor.

I don’t know if it was the past when the Seven Dragons were hostile to Limon.

Every princess becomes his bride.

The World Federation is shattered.

As long as the returning monarch is dead.

Now, no matter how fiercely they fight each other, it won’t cross the line of a love affair.

…Of course, it was a descendant of the dragon that he would survive the world with just that quarrel.

There was no need to worry until then.

It was because, as long as they had the eyes of Limon, the guardian deity of mankind, there was no way they would cause a conflict beyond their limits.

Even taking into account that even the fiercest competition would only be seen as cute charms to Limon.

That’s why Rose made an even more complex expression.

“Are you sure you’re okay with that?”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sorry, but I have work to do.”

“Li Qingyu, you…”

He was about to say something.

Rose fell silent again.

And at the end of making a complicated expression @ (looking at) Li Qingyu with a calm smile.

Rose shook her head with a heavy sigh.

“No, nothing.”

“is that so.”

While Li Qingyu, who could guess what Rose was going to say, only smiled calmly.

Rose, who looked at her with more complicated eyes, eventually slowly turned her head to look out the window and opened her mouth quietly.

“Rather than that, I don’t know if the swordsman will be okay.”

“Take it easy.”

Rose’s words turn the conversation around.

After accepting it calmly with a smile.

Li Qingyu continued talking calmly, looking in the same direction as her.

“Because there’s no way something will happen that would cause us to worry about the swordsmith.”

“I guess so.”

Limon, the last sword master, Charlotte, the strongest princess of the Seven Dragons, and Yuna-kyung, the mysterious blue bird.

As long as they are together.

There’s no such thing as putting yourself in danger.

While Rose nodded with a wry smile at this logical and obvious statement.

Li Qingyu raised the teacup again.

Then, looking at Rose with calm eyes, he asked the real reason why he agreed to the tea party with her.

“So what were the results of the investigation?”

* * *

Indian Territory is the sacred place of Indians.

At the end of the golden age, after losing the territory of the whole world and tenaciously defending it against the white power in the silver age.

Even in the Bronze Age, it was their own territory recognized for autonomy under the protection of the Fairy Queen.

Only Indians can visit there.

Even pure-blooded Indians were recognized for their talents as shamans or spiritists.

from that point of view.

Leaning against a tree on the hill.

The sight of a white man quietly gazing at the sky was truly bizarre, even miraculous.

Especially in that a blue bird was grumbling on that shoulder.

[Anyway, the team leader said that too.]

“What is it?”

[What do you mean, you left us alone to find an Indian sister?]

“Hmm, do you think that is too much?”

[of course! Isn’t that the gunman sister?]

“Not at all.”

[…Really?]

“Is there any reason to be sad?”

[Well…]

A cowgirl with a smile.

At Black Dog’s relaxed words, Yuna-kyung scratched her head.

Of course, from the time I stayed in Quetzalcoatl, I had a full date with Limon.

After she started chasing the sword spirit, she clung to him whenever she had a chance and spent time with him.

It was because it was not easy to understand that Limon would accept the situation that left them so calmly.

But Black Dog said calmly.

“Didn’t the master tell you? The road ahead could be dangerous for us too.”

[I don’t even understand what you’re saying…]

Yuna-kyung grumbled.

Of course, she was well aware of how dangerous the sword master, especially the running repair, was.

But that also depends on the opponent.

She and Black Dog are already absolutes.

Although it may be helpful against the sword master, it is not a hindrance.

It was not unusual for Yuna-kyung to feel sorry for Limon’s behavior, who left them like a burden.

“It would be better if he left us for something trivial. It means that the owner has been considerate of ‘me’ that much.”

[…gunslinger sister, have you ever heard of being covered in bean pods?]

“I’ve heard many times that my eyesight is accurate.”

[I guess so…]

It’s like a girl in love.

If Limon made that choice, there must be a reason.

When Yun Na-gyeong sighed as she saw Black Dog turning the circuit of happiness believing without a single doubt.

a little crooked

Black Dog tilted his head.

“By the way, Blue.”

[Why, gunman sister?]

“You pretend to be too close with my master?”

[…Yes?]

“It doesn’t matter if you’re upset that you’ve known our master for a little while…”

It was so out of the blue.

Watching Yuna-gyeong blink at the words she didn’t understand even after hearing them, she languidly continued.

“Remember.”

[….]

“He is ‘our’ treasure and I have no tolerance for those who covet ‘our’ things.”

just quietly.

Brilliant nonetheless.

that much more terrifying.

It was at the time when Yuna-kyung stiffened as she looked into her deep golden eyes.

Black Dog… No, Charlotte suddenly turned her gaze forward.

“…As expected, the master had a reason for leaving us.”

[Yes?]

What does this mean again?

Even in the midst of being stiff, Yuna-kyung turned her gaze to Charlotte, puzzled, and opened her eyes round.

No, I had to come out.

because I saw

outside the borough.

from the distant horizon.

trudging along and approaching.

A little Indian girl with a feather hat on her head and her healthy brown complexion covered with a thin skin.

―Running repairs.
