“You’ve taken the antidote. It’s good medicine. You’ll be alright soon.”
Despite his reassurance, Lakrahan felt uneasy as well.
Perhaps sensing his mood, Bercheria lowered her hand in disappointment. On the back of her hand, a wound with a scab was visible.
Even her self-healing ability seemed to be gone at this point.
If her mother, a witch, were to show up right now, Bercheria had no means to respond.
She would just have to endure whatever came her way.
‘I need to regain my power quickly.’
Lakrahan was trying hard to spend most of his time with Bercheria, but given his responsibilities, it wasn’t easy.
If they were to hold the wedding ceremony in advance, it would be easier for them to be together, but right now it was awkward to share a bed or to be alone together in an empty space.
There were boundaries he had to maintain as a Northern Duke.
Of course, there were advantages that came with that.
It protected the mental mana that he was expending by continually being with her.
However, as time passed, Lakrahan found himself increasingly concerned about Bercheria and increasingly unable to understand his own feelings.
“Don’t stress too much; your power will return soon.”
What concerned him the most was the ‘Butterfly of Parallels.’
He couldn’t predict how it would approach Bercheria when he wasn’t around.
“I looked up the abilities Bercheria used in the library during the day. It wasn’t just related to the weather; there were abilities to stir up the wind or freeze the surroundings.”
“That was also possible?”
Bercheria was unaware she had such an ability, as she had never used it since she was born.
“Not only on the day it hailed, but also gathering clouds and covering the sky entirely with dark clouds is possible.”
Like other gods, Bercheria too had the power to annihilate this land and the humans living on it with just one of her abilities.
A god could be a benevolent entity helping humans when merciful, but when angered, could become a dreadful being that takes away the lives of all humans.
The more Lakrahan learned about Bercheria, the more he admired the grandeur that a god possessed.
“When did we say our wedding would be?”
“Preparations should be complete in two days.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Usually, couples share a room from the day before the wedding, so from tomorrow, let’s sleep in my room. Then we can test the ice attribute in various ways.”
“Okay.”
Both sat back-to-back under a large tree where the wind flowed well.
“You said the ice attribute has decreased a lot lately; do you hardly feel it as well?”
“Our family has been living in the North even before the Periat appeared. To be precise, we controlled a border area even wider than the territory of Periat.”
Then Periat was formed, and not long after, the Emperor announced plans to create a portal.
“Seven wizards with different attributes were gathered. They scoured the continent to find powerful wizards to create the portal, but the problem was the following. It was a hindsight mistake.”
“Why?”
“They were afraid that the wizards might combine their powers and threaten the Emperor’s position.”
From then on, in Periat, unjust crimes were fabricated to arrest wizards and witches more frequently.
To survive, they stopped using their abilities, and even kept their family’s magical attributes a secret, in case it might affect their children.
“The less they used their abilities, the more they deteriorated, making it even harder to find someone who can use mana now.”
“I see.”
“Just a moment.”
“Yes?”
“Shh!”
Lakrahan momentarily silenced Bercheria with his hand, got up cautiously, and looked around behind the tree.
Curious, Bercheria peeked her head next to him. Lakrahan pressed a finger to his lips to signal her to be quiet, and at the same time, pointed to a spot not far away in the forest.
And within seconds, a small shadow sprung out from that place.
[Star Icon]Tatiana wiped her tears as she walked through the forest path.
She didn’t even run today.
She wasn’t in the mood.
“Sister. Sob.”
The child had just learned that the hailstorm caused by Bercheria had made Cookie collapse.
The child was so shocked that she ran into the forest immediately after hearing the story.
She couldn’t understand why something like this happened again.
She couldn’t understand why she kept putting that sister, Bercheria, in difficult situations.
Tatiana was simply thrilled to receive a lot of cookies from the princess and distributed them as the children’s share.
What was really amazing was that the number of cookies perfectly matched the number of children.
Nobody got more or less.
However, there was one cookie left that was noticeably large and glimmered in gold.
Tatiana thought of Bercheria immediately, without a second thought.
She simply wanted to share the best food with Bercheria.
“Wah wah.”
But in the end, she collapsed, and people got hurt.
Clever Tatiana did not think this whole incident was entirely her fault.
However, one fact was painfully clear,
“The princess was a bad person.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
