Tap, tap, tap.
Astonishment flickered in Aris’s eyes as she rushed towards the altar where the ritual was taking place.
“How is that woman here?”
She anxiously looked around.
People bowed respectfully, shed tears, or raised their hands towards the sky like a priest, receiving the rain.
No one questioned who the person making it rain was.
Veil maiden or not, it didn’t matter to the people.
As long as anyone could make it rain!
Aris, who noticed even the king looking up at the sky, bit her lips hard.
It was easy to figure out what had happened.
I didn’t know how they manipulated the veil maiden, but the plan to humiliate Eggrain had failed.
‘Now, the problem is not humiliating my sister. It’s a big problem for me!’
What Georgiana said was okay because it assumed that she, as a priestess, would safely bring rain.
After the Kiuje, she would be questioned about her mysterious disappearance, and she wouldn’t be able to avoid blame.
On the contrary, Eggrain’s reputation would rise.
‘It must not happen.’
Aris’s eyes flared up.
‘I have to show my abilities now.’
Anyway, just sing a suitable song for the Kiuje. It’s okay to attach the reason later.
‘If I show strong power, it should be fine. It might even turn out well.’
It was an opportunity to compensate for the embarrassment in the royal palace fire incident.
At that time, she was buried because her abilities were weak, and the veil maiden was adored because of her.
‘Okay. That’s it.’
There shouldn’t be any hesitation here, even if there is some resistance.
Aris’s eyes were filled with venom.
Soon, she, too, raised her hand towards the sky.
Dark clouds began to gather.
When I saw Aris rushing towards the altar in a hurry, I couldn’t help but chuckle. It seemed I wasn’t the only one who fell for my trick.
For her, participating in the ritual even belatedly was a wise choice. Otherwise, she would not have been able to avoid the king’s scolding.
From my perspective, who had hoped for that, it was a bit regrettable.
‘But for the princess, it was almost a disaster if she didn’t participate.’
Recalling the day when I suggested to Princess Laratu, who wanted to offer prayers, that she could wear the veil, I swept my chest again.
‘If it didn’t work out, I had considered using my abilities, but that was still not the solution. Using the power of a priestess in front of others is dangerous.’
Suddenly, I thought of Leo.
‘I wonder what he would say if he knew I could make it rain.’
“You’re later than other humans. Tsk tsk, did you live so modestly? Even spirits are filthy when the soul is dirty.”
[Are you picking a fight?]“Well, don’t be in a hurry. Spirits can only attach themselves to cursed humans. That’s the magic of your ancestors.”
[What are you saying? Can’t you explain more?]“Why should I! Honestly, why am I helping such a cursed human.”
[Why am I cursed?]“I don’t know!”
“Cursed human.”
Was it because humans devoured the gods that he said such things?
If that’s the case, Leo probably won’t be particularly pleased to see that I’ve become a priestess.
With a slightly embarrassed feeling, I sighed.
‘Anyway, the Kiuje has safely ended with this.’
I turned my head away from the pouring rain.
Over there, Lady Emelun was staring at the altar absentmindedly. When our eyes met, she averted her gaze with a flustered expression.
‘I almost caused a big problem.’
If I hadn’t held back the hand that was about to pop out when slapped on the cheek, by now, Lady Emelun would have been holding her broken jaw, and I would have been taken away for assault.
‘I endured it well.’
With a proud feeling, I watched the ceremony coming to an end.
Time passed. The sky was still filled with clouds. Moreover, the cloud layer was getting thicker.
Something was strange.
‘Why isn’t the rain stopping?’
Moreover, the amount of rain was abnormal.
I glanced towards the altar. Princess Laratu, who had finished her prayer and stretched her arms, was shouting something at Aris.
“Stop it!”
Aris, or rather, she was looking up at the sky as if she couldn’t hear anything.
Unlike Princess Laratu, whose raindrop tattoos had disappeared, Aris’s neck tattoo was still vivid.
She was still using her ability.
‘What is she doing?’
At first, I thought it was the protagonist syndrome. However, after seeing Aris’s excessively pale face, I revised my thoughts.
Her eyes were unfocused.
Instinctively, I realized that something was wrong.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
