Certainly, here’s the translated passage:
As my question ended, the three men were silent. I too know well how those three people are looking at me now.
But this was a very important issue. I couldn’t just flail around and find it in this situation.
“Um… Well… I took her with me because she was pretty and often by my side, but… I don’t know where she is.”
Mu, this child. He seems to poke around and roam everywhere in the temple. It’s certain that he’s still in here.
“Empress Lenisha must be very surprised since this is her first time in this situation.”
“It would be best to let Empress Lenisha rest in the private chambers.”
“I will assign some available apprentice priests who can act immediately if symptoms of the plague appear. Notify me right away if any symptoms show up.”
It seems they thought I was looking for the hamster to calm my shocked and surprised heart.
I decided not to correct them since it’s better for me to have a comfortable conversation with Mu if the three of them don’t pay attention to me.
The opinions of the three people came together. They seemed to have decided to leave me in the private chambers with guards and apprentice priests.
“Empress Lenisha. I apologize for surprising you with this incident.”
“It’s okay, Elihu. It’s not your fault.”
Elihu quickly left the private chambers after apologizing to me and Levanfell.
“Teriella.”
Levanfell, who was about to follow Elihu, paused and turned back to approach me.
“Wait here for a while until the matter is resolved. Feel free to order the priests if you need anything.”
“Don’t worry.”
If I find this damned hamster, I will grab it by the scruff of the neck and shake it until this situation is resolved.
Unaware of the situation, Levanfell looked at me with a worried expression for a long time and reached out. Then, he hugged me tightly and comforted me in his large embrace.
“Just stay still.”
“…”
“There’s nothing to worry about. I’ll be back soon.”
I let out a short breath and raised my hand to pat Levanfell’s back, just as he did to me.
“There’s really nothing to worry about.”
I can handle this problem.
Levanfell, who was comforted by my words, turned with a smile on his lips and left the private chambers. Jarim, who had bitten his lips, quickly followed him.
“Jarim.”
I quickly grabbed Jarim’s sleeve, who was in a hurry to move.
“Empress Lenisha. I understand your anxious heart, but unfortunately, right now…”
“Check where the high priests got infected.”
“What?”
“High priests have high spiritual power, they are the ones who go around healing those infected with the plague. One or two may catch it while treating, but all of them have become infected just a few days after going on an expedition?”
I voiced the doubt that had been bothering me all along.
Jarim’s eyes, clouded with urgency and anxiety, sparkled.
“And no matter if they are apprentice priests, they wouldn’t be unaware of the treatment center. They wouldn’t be unaware of the symptoms of the plague. Besides, today is a day when many people gather for the sacred ceremony.”
“…”
“Did they bring sick priests to the temple, where so many people gathered, just because they were out of their minds with the symptoms?”
“Empress Lenisha. What you think is…”
“Jarim.”
I squeezed Jarim’s sleeve tightly.
“Don’t just focus on the temple. Broaden your view. If you want to assist His Majesty, look ahead, not now.”
“…”
“Where the high priests first got infected. Never miss it.”
Jarim’s face hardened.
This is just my speculation, but.
“There must be something there.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The outside, which had been quiet after the three left the private chambers, soon became noisy. It seemed that everyone had learned that the temple was closed due to the plague.
And then it happened.
“Squeak!”
The squeak of the mouse that I wanted to hear so much was followed by.
“Mu!”
Mu came to find me, with a handful of sunflower seeds in both hands.
“Mu! Where the heck have you been? No. Did you hear the news? Right now in the temple…!”
“Empress Lenisha?”
The apprentice priest guarding the inside of the private chambers looked at me suspiciously as I spoke happily to the hamster.
‘Oops.’
In the eyes of that priest, I must have looked like a crazy woman talking to a hamster.
The moment I tightly closed my eyes.
Thud!
The soldier and the apprentice priest guarding the private chambers collapsed to the ground like paper dolls, powerless.
“What…?”
“I put them to sleep. It seems more convenient for you this way.”
“Mu.”
Certainly! Here is the translation:
“People can talk to me when they’re around. Only you, who have the same power as me, can resonate with my voice.”
I see.
I brushed my chest, sighing in relief.
“I’m glad. I was worried that I might look like a crazy woman talking to a hamster in front of people…”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
