“I’m getting married?” Rukna was startled by the sudden news of her own marriage, which she wasn’t even aware of.
Orion shrugged his shoulders in a manner unbecoming of a boy, saying how would he know.
“They said they will hold a small wedding ceremony despite the current unfavorable situation in the empire. They mentioned they might miss the chance again.”
Although it was rather sudden, Orion felt he could understand his parents’ feelings to some extent.
‘It’s because elder brother, who has never been interested in the opposite sex, has found a woman he likes for the first time.’
Matian went to see their parents out of the blue and firmly stated, “I have to take responsibility for my partner, so I cannot follow the imperial order to be dispatched to the frontier.”
The hero of the nation chose a single woman over the suffering people of the empire.
Orion was astonished that even their parents were convinced by this.
The ten-year-old boy looked up at his hero, saying it made no sense.
The elder brother he had admired since childhood was nowhere to be seen, and only a man in love stood in his place.
‘I don’t know who this Rukna is, but she must be a witch. She has bewitched the entire family with her sorcery!’
Orion rushed to the room where the woman was staying to confront her. However, as soon as he saw Rukna’s face, he was at a loss for words.
It was because the descendant of Closet, whom Lulu the priest had mentioned when he visited this place before, was standing there in a beautiful form.
And now, Orion could fully understand why his proud elder brother was so devoted to that woman.
“There’s something I want Lulu to read.”
Orion took out an old book that he had kept deep in his desk drawer and handed it to Rukna.
It was the old diary of the hero Wiegratz, which had an illustration of the saint drawn in it.
“Why are you giving this to me?”
“Aren’t you curious why the faces in that portrait all look the same?”
“…!”
“The reason is explained here.”
[This is the timeline separator]About 300 years ago.
Closet was a priest who had left the boring temple.
With her innate excellent divine power, she was able to make a decent living just by using purification techniques.
Ability, freedom, money. She lacked nothing, except for one thing.
“Is this all you earned today? If you love me, you should bring me more.”
It was popularity.
Strangely, there were many people around her who tried to take advantage of her.
She had run away from the temple, tired of the harassment from other priests, but the situation outside wasn’t much different.
Body, heart, money. No matter how much she devoted all of it, her basket of begging for love was always empty.
‘I guess I’ll never trust people again.’
Then one day, as she was living alone and lonely, a half-dead young man was left in front of her house.
“Who dumped a corpse here?”
She left the house without even glancing at the corpse. At that moment, it reached out and grabbed Closet’s ankle.
“What, you were alive?”
“You… you’re a priest. Please heal me.”
“Doctors are the ones who heal. And you look younger than me, where do you get off speaking informally? You’re lying on the ground, youngster.”
Closet shook her leg to get his hand off. But the young man grabbed the hem of her pants once more.
“Ugh, the dark mana has seeped into my body. I can’t get up…”
“Ah, are you talking about black magic?”
It was a type of magic recently developed by a wizard named Karzhan.
It twisted the original laws to create something new. The effect was tremendous, but it had the disadvantage of consuming life force to cast it.
‘Some say black magic is irregular.’
Closet thought that sacrificing what existed to create something new was the law of causality itself.
However, since there were no restrictions on how to use it yet, there was a high probability of social problems occurring in the future.
“How did you get exposed to dark mana? Were you used as a sacrifice?”
The ‘sacrifice’ system created by black magicians was one such problem. They bought sacrifices at high prices to replace their own lives in order to unleash more powerful magic.
“…Yes.”
The young man quietly nodded. His poor single mother had sold her own child to a black magician.
Since he had a better physique than his peers, she probably thought he would be used as a laborer. But when he came to his senses, he was lying on an altar in the mountains, bleeding.
“I was attacked while escaping from there. Since the dark energy seeped into my body, the bleeding hasn’t stopped.”
He had come down from the mountain and arrived at this village to find a doctor.
The elderly doctor didn’t even properly examine his wounds. Instead, he recommended Closet’s house, telling him to meet the priest living at the edge of the village.
“Sigh, that old geezer dumped a penniless kid on me.”
Closet sighed, shaking her head.
“But what should I do, kid? I’m also someone who heals for money.”
“If you just heal me, I’ll repay you somehow.”
“How do you plan to repay when you were sold as a sacrifice because you were poor?”
“…With my body.”
“Body?”
Closet looked the fallen young man up and down.
He was tall like a pole, but his immature frame and skinny body didn’t belong to an adult.
“I guess a kid whose head isn’t even dry yet has no fear.”
Closet squatted down, giggling. Then she swept the young man’s hair, matted with sweat and dust, up from his forehead to check his face.
“Well, you are pretty good-looking. But how old are you?”
His features, which still hadn’t lost their boyish look, were quite handsome. The young man mumbled with his lips before answering that he was twenty.
“Don’t lie and tell me honestly.”
“Nineteen.”
“…”
“…Fourteen. I’m serious.”
“Fourteen?”
Closet was startled and fell on her bottom.
Although he looked young, she didn’t expect him to be this green. She thought he was at least eighteen. She almost became a vicious person who took advantage of a young boy.
“Are you in your right mind? A fourteen-year-old kid is spouting nonsense about repaying with his body?”
“What can I do when my body is all I have.”
In the village where he used to live, women wanted that kind of thing. Does this priest not?
“I don’t know what the problem is. Do you not like my face, priest?”
He looked up at Closet with pitiful eyes. She scoffed, astonished.
What kind of life had this young boy lived? It seemed his life was just as barren as her own.
“Enough. What would I do with a kid, tsk.”
Closet infused divine power into the boy’s, no, the young man’s wound.
Soon, black smoke rose from the wound and disappeared into the air, and the bleeding stopped.
“It, it really healed!”
A scab formed over the wound that wouldn’t stop bleeding no matter what. The boy looked at Closet and the wound in amazement.
“If you’re all healed, go. Don’t loiter around here.”
As Closet patted her bottom and got up, the boy grabbed her desperately.
“Name. Tell me your name, priest.”
“Isn’t it proper to introduce yourself first in a situation like this?”
“I’m Wiegratz. I have no last name.”
“Alright, Wiegratz. I’m Closet, who doesn’t take dirty money. So go back home now.”
“I don’t have that.”
“What?”
“I said I don’t have a home to return to.”
The boy mumbled, hanging his head. Sigh, I guess I picked up something really troublesome. Closet let out a long sigh, blaming her own luck.
“I’m good at cleaning, laundry, and cooking. So please just let me stay.”
“What about my prospects for marriage if a grown man comes to live in a single woman’s house?”
“I’ll call you teacher. Then everyone will understand.”
“I don’t raise disciples.”
“Please. I can sleep in that storage room. Just let me stay, please.”
Wiegratz wouldn’t let go of Closet’s ankle. Since the skinny kid had the strength of an ox, she couldn’t easily break free.
Ah, my head. Closet held her forehead with her hand. It seemed her luck was at its worst today as well.
[This is the timeline separator]On the first day, she gave him the sofa. She had decided to kick him out as soon as dawn broke the next day.
‘How is this young kid so good at chores?’
Wiegratz excellently handled the housework as he had boasted.
The dusty interior shone, and the musty bed and carpet emitted a clean scent of sunshine.
This alone was amazing, but what was most excellent was his cooking.
Closet was so enamored with the meals he provided at every mealtime that she ended up keeping him for a whole year.
“Teacher, how old are you?”
“Now that we’ve lived together for a year, you’re curious about my age?”
“At first I thought you were over thirty, but the more I look, the more you seem as young as me.”
“I’m a hundred years old, you brat. Where do you think you’re climbing up to, tsk.”
Closet flicked the forehead of her disciple with a foul mouth.
‘This guy, did he grow taller again?’
Now it was difficult even to reach his forehead with her arm. They clearly ate the same meals, but for some reason, only he was growing rapidly.
Moreover, his shoulders had widened considerably, and when he went down to the village, the young maidens would cling to him like leeches and not let go.
That rascal, he’ll be breaking many women’s hearts once he becomes an adult.
“But you, you wield a sword quite well?”
Closet praised Wiegratz’s contribution to capturing the group of thieves who had raided the village yesterday.
“They say my father was a famous swordsman when he was alive. I was told I learned the sword from him since I was young, but I don’t remember.”
“Shall I find you a teacher? Your skills are extraordinary.”
“Really?”
Wiegratz’s bright blue eyes sparkled.
Closet, who felt oddly flustered, averted her gaze.
“It won’t be easy, will you be alright?”
“It’s fine! I can do it!”
Wiegratz, who desperately wanted to learn swordsmanship, smiled broadly with a flushed face.
However, the next day, his face turned deathly pale.
The swordsmanship teacher she found for him was the burly leader of a mercenary group.
“Hey, Closet. Have you been well? When you asked me to take care of a youngster, I thought you had gotten married and had a child. Hahaha!”
Wiegratz clutched his chest as he watched the leader and Closet chatting affectionately.
He didn’t know what kind of relationship they had, but they seemed quite close, and it made his heart ache.
“Then study hard and come back, my disciple. Please take good care of him, Boutke.”
Closet called the leader’s name affectionately and hugged him. Then, sparks flew in Wiegratz’s eyes.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”
※※※
When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
