“……Such a ridiculous thing.”
“How can this be… Ah, Lord Ardel. Saint Anais of miracles! Why have you bestowed this trial upon us?”
The priest stretched his hands towards the sky and wailed. I consoled the priest halfheartedly and demanded the reason for coming to the temple.
“Where is the Pope? I must see him at once.”
Only the Pope had the authority to guard the sacred spring from which the holy water flowed.
In other words, permission had to be obtained from the Pope to get the holy water to fight against the zombies.
‘It’s absurd to have to go through this permission process in such an urgent situation…’
What can you expect in a world with a thorough feudal worldview? I had to be grateful that I could do something like this in the status of a duke’s representative, being a noble nun.
…I want to go home.
(This is a time separator.)
It was not difficult to meet the Pope. The matter was serious, so most of the trivial procedures were omitted, and I could quickly enter the Pope’s room, decorated in white and gold.
The Pope was waiting for me in the luxuriously decorated room, sitting arrogantly like an emperor on his jade throne.
“Welcome, Lady Keaton.”
“Nice to meet you, Your Holiness. I am Elizabeth Keaton of the Keaton family.”
I wanted to immediately demand the holy water, but I held back.
‘The source that can create the holy water is divine power.’
Therefore, the one with the most divine power becomes the Pope and earns the right to manage the sacred spring.
So, I had to persuade the Pope to get the holy water, a great help in the upcoming fight against zombies.
‘Zero… With that holy water, humans will have a chance against zombies, right?’
“Of course. If you wet the zombies with the holy water or attack them with a weapon blessed by a high priest, it will be a definite blow.”
Good. Let’s try it.
I squeezed all my acting skills to wear the mask of a righteous and wise noble lady concerned about the fate of the country.
“I have seen the terrible images you sent. ‘Zombies,’ you said? A new type of undead has appeared.”
“Yes, that’s right. Your Holiness, we need the holy water from the sacred spring you manage to kill them.”
Of course, I didn’t leave out the hypocritical words about the empire’s future. Such words work well with those in power.
‘Please allow me to take the holy water quickly!’
Despite my inner begging, the Pope questioned me with an unpleasant look.
“……How do you know that, Lady?”
A sudden question. But I am a K[dash]citizen who did not succumb even in a highpressure interview.
I calmly switched to presentation mode and expressed my main point.
“I encountered zombies when I went to the Crown Prince’s wedding in Huangcheng. When I escaped, I used it and found that it worked.”
“Ho.”
“I always cherished the holy water bottle left by my late mother, and it was used at such a time. Ah, I realized this is a true blessing from God.”
“Quite a touching story.”
“It’s all thanks to my late mother and Lord Ardel’s grace.”
“Hee hee hee.”
“Ha ha ha.”
It’s all nonsense.
I hit the princess’s forehead with my high heels and left. There was no such thing as holy water. A blessing from God? Since Zero is something like a deputy manager of this world, it could be something like a divine blessing. But I’m nonreligious, so I don’t believe in such things.
‘It’s just a ploy to get through this situation smoothly.’
In a way, it’s not a lie. It’s information given through Zero, the administrator of this world, so isn’t it the same as something told by a god?
“I didn’t know Lady Keaton was so devout.”
‘No. I am a person who does not believe in religion because I find weekend worship bothersome.’
I didn’t even wet my mouth to lie like a pro, and my throat was parched.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have established more connections with the Duke of Keaton’s family.”
The Pope seemed satisfied. It seemed a bit ridiculous to confirm the influence of religion at this point, where someone might be dying somewhere due to zombies, but I didn’t lose my social smile.
“Thank you for the praise, Your Holiness. So please grant us the use of the holy water…….”
“But I cannot give you the holy water.”
Snap.
A sound that cracks reason was heard.
“……Why?”
“If you take the words of the princess as true, then practically all those who can currently lead the Empire must be seen as dead, must they not?”
……What?
“If indeed the holy water, the divine power, has a lethal effect on those zombies, then surely our temple should lead the way in helping the fallen imperial people, and a beautiful picture would be drawn, wouldn’t it?”
“……. ”
“If that happens, the unbelievers will mend their ways and seek the temple again. This opportunity may be a golden chance that the holy lady Anais has sent down to show the power of the temple once again.”
A crisis is also an opportunity.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
