Solo Swordmaster

#Side Story 41. Dragon Bride Fighting for Love (3)

* * *

After becoming married to Limon.

They respect each other in their own way.

It wasn’t just that I didn’t want to get caught in Limon’s eyes by getting into a useless fight.

This was because the other women themselves recognized that they were worthy of becoming his brides.

That’s why I accepted the turn to meet him.

But….

“Uh um. Is there really a need to decide that? If we just take turns and write in a friendly manner like before…”

“….”

“…It’s not working.”

―This is wrong.

Yuna-kyung, who was trying hard to control the situation, broke into a cold sweat.

The sight of them remaining silent.

And deeply sunken eyes.

Above all, the atmosphere.

Because I told you.

Other brides might not know this, but at least they have no intention of sharing the ‘room of time and heart’ with the seven princesses.

It might have been natural.

They are dragons.

He was an innate being with a maniacal desire for monopoly.

Even if you understand and accept that you have to share your lover with another woman.

Give up your time with him.

Feeling someone else’s scent on him.

Each time we say goodbye until our next meeting.

It would not have been possible to erase the instinctive regret.

And as time passed, the monopolistic desire that had built up was finally burst by the object called ‘Time and the Room of the Heart’.

That may have been why Catherine secretly carried out a trick even though she knew she would soon be caught.

The possibility of being able to monopolize Limon every day by using the ‘Room of Time and Mind’ was such a fascinating possibility.

‘Surely there won’t be bloodshed…?’

It can’t be that way as long as Limon is here.

Nevertheless, when Yuna-kyung swallows her dry saliva in an atmosphere that makes her feel such anxiety.

Li Qingyu calmly nodded.

“There’s definitely no need to argue.”

“As expected!”

“There is no need to share it among us.”

“Hey princess?!”

This is what raising and dropping is like.

I was relieved to hear a voice that relieved the tension that was as sharp as broken glass a little, and for a moment I admired that he was able to be the best tactician of the Seven Dragons.

When the air becomes colder than before, Yuna-kyung despairs that she is also the most dangerous sister in the Seven Dragons.

Li Qingyu smiled.

“Because sharing equally for everyone in the first place would be unfair to Catherine and Ainsha, who created this space.”

“That’s…”

“Agree! We’re the ones who made this?! Did you really have a headache? So, you should take more care of it!”

Ask for compensation for your labor.

Before we know it, Catherine is wearing a red band on her head and acting like she’s going to start a labor revolution.

Even though the behavior was a bit playful, it was an argument that could not be ignored.

Because it is logically valid.

Whether it’s because of the sparkle in her eyes that makes her feel like she’s going to throw everything away if she doesn’t get fair compensation.

“I think so too. “In this sense, it is more reasonable to find a consensus rather than to divide this space unconditionally.”

“Deal?”

“For example, you can buy the right to use this space with money.”

“…Like an amusement park ticket?”

“Because this place was created.”

It was definitely not wrong.

Amusement parks, gyms, cafes, etc.

Unless it is a public facility, it is common sense to pay a price to use special facilities or well-decorated spaces.

And this room of time and mind was, strictly speaking, the property or private property of Catherine and Ainsha.

Even though we decided to share it because we couldn’t turn everyone into enemies.

When using this place, it was natural to pay a price to the two girls who were developers and investors.

… right after I almost agreed.

Yuna-kyung suddenly came to her senses.

“No, wait a minute! “If you buy a ticket to this place with money, it will be exclusive to the princesses!”

“That’s the problem.”

Yuna-kyung’s point like that.

Li Qingyu readily admitted.

Even among the brides of Limon, if only financial power was discussed, it was clear that the seven princesses were overwhelmingly superior.

Above all….

“Whether we set the price ourselves from the beginning or put it up for auction every time, the competition will only get more intense.”

If there was a fixed price for the ticket, everyone would try to reserve this space on a yearly or 100-year basis.

As a result, cut-throat competition will continue with prices charging several or even dozens of times the regular price.

Catherine and Ainsha could monopolize this place by charging exorbitant prices that other princesses wouldn’t even be able to afford.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“It’s a simple story. “That means….”

“It means that you can trade with something other than money.”

“Anything else?”

“…indeed.”

Yuna-kyung blinked at Charlotte’s drowsy words.

On the other hand, the other brides shook their heads as if they had an inkling.

their own rights or influence.

Direct labor and force.

Precious elixirs and treasures, etc.

There were many things that no amount of money could buy.

Because they were absolute.

There is one problem.

“But… no matter how precious the goods or rights are, it would be difficult to balance this transaction.”

“No need to worry. Because there are trade items that are good for balancing.

“What’s fairest and what everyone wants.”

Rose’s point.

Hasneti took it.

While Maia sneers.

However, Anastasia, a silver-haired woman who had been sitting back and quietly listening to the conversation, opened her mouth for the first time.

“Do you mean time with commerce?”

“yes that’s right.”

“…Time?”

“If there are people who want to meet the Sword Duke more often, there will also be people who want to meet for a longer period of time.”

“ah…!”

Only then did Yuna-kyung realize.

It’s like taking a vacation or splitting it up.

They are now able to adjust their time with Limon more flexibly than before.

This was possible because thanks to this space, I could now afford to spend double or triple the amount of time with Limon.

And if it was in such a peaceful way, Yuna-kyung was willing to participate.

…Okay, if it’s a peaceful way.

“Of course, the most common people are those who want to win other people’s time, even if it means risking their own time.”

“…What are you doing?”

“I told you, right? “Fair distribution is not appropriate for this space.”

“….”

“In that sense, there is something I would like to ask all of you.”

Grinning.

With a meaningful smile.

Li Qingyu continued speaking while facing the other priests with deep, heavy eyes.

“What do you think of the winner-takes-all competition?”

* * *

“Well… I know what you want, but I don’t think it’s my place to intervene.”

Even more embarrassing.

Yet without hesitation.

The Fairy Queen expressed her resignation.

No matter how much she loved Limon, fighting was unbecoming of her, a fairy of harmony.

This is especially true because I am feeling guilty about becoming my son-in-law’s bride along with my daughter.

“abstention! “I abstain!”

Yuna-kyung raised the white flag faster than the Fairy Queen.

The reason was simple.

Because I didn’t want to die.

Whether it’s a great witch or a star fairy. Lucky blue bird.

Because she had watched the seven princesses, she knew that if she got caught up in this situation wrong, she could end up in trouble without even making a sound.

So the two fairies, mother and daughter, gave up the competition.

It was a peaceful choice for the two of them in that they chose stability rather than risk as they were given the minimum usage time anyway.

“How dare you compete with the ladies of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry? “Please don’t worry about the notebook.”

And as always.

After the examination, Anastasia humbly declined participation, saying that just helping out was enough.

He even gave up his right to use time and the room of the heart, so Limon had to step in and stop him.

Not only Catherine but also the other princesses were curious about how Limon taught Anastasia to grow up so much.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to participate this time.”

What was unexpected was Li Qingyu.

I proposed a competition to everyone.

It was something that no one expected that she herself would be left out.

But if it was natural, it was also natural.

It was obvious that the competition would become so intense that even the self-sufficient Yu Na-kyung would run away, and it would have been impossible for her to participate as she was not yet out of her wheelchair.

I don’t know if it was a competition purely based on wit… but

since no bride wanted to commit suicide like that, her abstention was naturally accepted in the end.

As a result.

There are 8 participants remaining.

These were brides who actively competed with other brides to monopolize time with their loved ones.

After the participants were decided like that.

What was problematic was the method of competition.

“Since ancient times, when it comes to competitions, it is a history and tradition of dancing and singing. So, let’s hold a singing contest.”

A proposal from the world’s best singer, as shameless as it is expressionless.

Of course dismissed.

“Why don’t we compete peacefully to see how much we can drink instead of causing patients to come out with unnecessary actions?”

The best suggestion in the world that won’t get you drunk even if you drink poison.

Of course dismissed.

“It’s arbitrariness for us to decide such an important matter among ourselves, so how about deciding it through a global vote?”

The Count’s proposal had the most supporters thanks to his personality.

Of course dismissed.

“Hey, I don’t know what. After all, the most fair thing is a test. So let’s all compete in an IQ test.”

Even though he may be out of his mind, it is a genius suggestion.

Of course dismissed.

…At this point, I was doubtful as to whether there was any genuine intention to compete.

But on the other hand, it was also said because it was sincere.

Depending on how the competition was held, who would be more advantageous and who would be more disadvantaged would be extremely different.

“Stop wasting time. “Anyway, there is only one way for us to win.”

“….”

“You’re not wrong.”

That was why.

Hasneti opens his mouth.

The moment when Charlotte, who had been watching lazily as if she was confident of winning any competition, agreed with it.

The reason why the princesses, who were trying to compete on even the slightest advantageous terms, all kept silent.

Because everyone knew.

What a way she said.

In fact, the answer was decided from the beginning.

If they did that, they couldn’t guarantee their victory, so they just took the trouble to find another answer.

But once it’s mentioned.

It’s something that can no longer be answered.

“So what are you going to do?”

That was why.

I listened to the question Charlotte asked as if confirming it.

The women exchanged glances as if they were thinking and eventually nodded and agreed.

Limon, who had been listening to their conversation with his ears open while looking at the statue standing tall in front of the mansion, pretending not to notice, sighed quietly.

Just like that…

to win a loving partner.

Fighting fiercely with competitors.

A battle between eight absolutes.

…The World’s Best Bride Competition has come to an end.
