Nathaniel and I hurriedly headed to the Crown Prince’s Palace.
It was certainly just a slight fever.
“Teresa!”
When I opened the door, an unexpected person was inside.
“Big Brother?”
“Ah, you’ve… come?”
Maximilian, who got up from the bedside hesitatingly, avoided the spot with an awkward expression.
“Talk to me later.”
I went over to Teresa, who was lying in bed.
She looked much worse than when I met her earlier.
Tiny sweat beads were gathered on her forehead.
“Teresa, are you okay?”
At my words, she opened her eyes with difficulty.
Tears were glistening at the corners of her eyes.
“Does it hurt a lot?”
“It’s just a slight fever.”
Teresa said this, glancing at Maximilian.
At that, I glared at Maximilian and mumbled,
“It’s not because of anyone, is it?”
“Ha, haha.”
While worrying about Teresa awkwardly laughing, the doctor entered.
We stepped aside for a proper examination.
Once outside the room, I glared at Maximilian.
“Can’t you stop tormenting Teresa?”
“I never tormented her.”
“Then your existence must be harmful to Teresa.”
At my words, Maximilian’s face was flushed with emotion.
But he kept his mouth firmly shut.
I looked at him and anxiously waited for the results.
How much time had passed?
Finally, the doctor came out.
“How is it?”
“It seems to be just a common cold. She’ll be fine if she rests for a few days.”
“Really?”
At the doctor’s words, I was able to feel relieved.
Entering, I found Teresa already asleep.
I quietly looked down at her.
The thought that she might have contracted the incurable disease from the original work turned my insides black.
I took a deep breath and looked back at Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel, can you watch over Teresa?”
At my words, he, who had been silently watching, nodded.
Maximilian, looking anxious, came up to me and asked,
“Is this necessary?”
“It’s better than waiting for something terrible to happen.”
Pretending not to know didn’t help the situation.
It was just living day by day, holding a ticking time bomb.
I hoped that Nathaniel could find the cause of the illness.
Nathaniel placed his hand on Teresa’s forehead.
A twinkling light appeared beneath his palm and then disappeared.
It was a brief moment, but it felt like I was choking to death.
Soon the light faded, and Nathaniel opened his mouth.
“I don’t know how to say this.”
“Is it a curable disease?”
Maximilian’s voice was filled with terror.
I slapped his arm that seemed about to cry.
Nathaniel looked at us alternately for a moment and then said,
“It’s a divine power.”
“Excuse me?”
“A divine power suddenly appeared, and it seems to be making her sick. I don’t know exactly, but.”
A divine power?
“Originally, divine power is a healing power, so why is it making her sick?”
“I don’t know that either. If I hadn’t come into contact with divine power at the ritual a few days ago, I wouldn’t have known what she was sick with.”
To think that the suddenly appeared divine power would be used in this way.
‘Maybe that prophecy wasn’t nonsense.’
Nathaniel kindly explained this and that to Maximilian, whose face looked like he was about to cry.
To use it moderately, and not to overdo it, and she might even become healthier than now.
“So is Teresa becoming a saint now?”
At Nathaniel’s words, my mind snapped to attention.
Because I thought she might be exploited by the temple for having this power.
They resisted the faith’s center moving to the royal family after Nathaniel’s arrival.
If they found out that Teresa had divine power, they would try to drag her to the temple by any means.
“Let’s keep this a secret among ourselves for now.”
Nathaniel also nodded his head, as if he had the same thought.
Maximilian looked at Teresa for a moment and then agreed.
“So there really is nothing wrong with her body?”
“I can’t guarantee that. Divine power is a longlost power, and the related materials are stored in the temple’s archives, so…”
Nathaniel said he had tried several times to enter to check the information, but was blocked every time.
“The archives of the temple…….”
After pondering for a while, I quietly left the room with the two of them, so that Teresa could rest comfortably.
(This is the time delimiter.)
Diana returned to the banquet hall, scanning the surroundings.
The interior of the banquet hall, which the crown princess had carefully decorated, was beautiful to anyone’s eyes.
“How crude, she must think she can become the crown princess if she dyes her hair.”
“Oh dear. I saw it too. Even if she defiles the Empress’s face, she’s shameless. How can she be so brazen?”
“Where does that bloodline lead?”
Diana didn’t bat an eye at the giggling voices about herself.
She just checked one by one with her eyes who was saying such things.
Even when they made eye contact, those who were gossiping about Diana thought nothing of it.
After all, wasn’t she the princess of the oncebeautiful family?
Diana sat in a corner and waited for an opportunity.
The emperor and empress she had observed so far seemed like a couple in a rut.
‘There they are.’
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
