“High Priestess!”
Should I consider this fortunate?
All the priests sincerely welcomed me.
“Of course, if the High Priestess is with us, it’s a warm welcome.”
“It won’t be of any help, is it okay?”
“You’re saying the obvious. Just having you by our side in case of anything makes us feel secure.”
“In case of anything…”
The representative priest, who seemed to be the main figure among the priests, calmly explained.
“If, by any chance, His Grace were to pass away, someone needs to inform the temple about what happened. We don’t want to be executed as the murderer of His Grace.”
To a reason more severe than I thought, I swallowed a dry spit.
‘Hades could really die.’
In fact, I still couldn’t understand why Hades was taking such reckless challenges.
‘It’s a gamble.’
Even if we could only meet once a year, it was better to live well without risking our lives.
It was better than gambling with one’s life.
“I’m not sure if I can be of help, but… I can use my sacred power quite well. Call me anytime you need it.”
“Yes, High Priestess.”
The representative priest nodded solemnly.
Now, I looked at Hades lying quietly on the bed.
With his eyes closed and lying down, his face looked surprisingly peaceful.
‘It’s an unreasonable plan.’
As expected, I needed to interfere.
I tightly held Hades’ hand.
There was no guarantee that I could win against twelve priests, but still, I had to try.
“Now, please introduce yourselves.”
I approached Hades. He had taken a tranquillizer in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances, and that made him look somewhat drowsy.
“Hades.”
When I called Hades quietly, his eyes opened wide.
His eyes, which were lightly clouded in amethyst color, recognized me and showed a faint smile.
“Angel.”
“…Stay safe.”
Hades chuckled.
“You, too.”
That was the end. After that, with those words, the effect of the tranquilizer kicked in, Hades closed his eyes again, and the priests began to perform the ceremony.
I gritted my teeth.
According to the pre-investigation, the next hour was the time spent on implementing safety measures.
To prevent anyone, either Hades or the priests, from going berserk, I had memorized the spells to set up a barrier using sacred power.
The problem was what came next.
‘I have to disrupt the second ceremony.’
I took a deep breath. I had diligently practiced the sleep skill ‘Sethun’ for this moment.
An hour passed.
Wrinkles appeared on the foreheads of the priests who were mumbling prayers.
It was a signal that the barrier had been completed.
Quietly behind the representative priest, I mumbled a single word.
“Sethun.”
It was a whispered word, so the priests, who were focused on building the barrier, didn’t notice at all and were startled.
“Sir, High Priest Hebun!”
“Everyone, calm down! He must have collapsed from exhaustion. Continue the ritual!”
As expected, the priests thought that the representative priest collapsed due to exhaustion.
That was natural since it wasn’t an ordinary ceremony.
I cautiously put one person to sleep after another while observing the situation.
The problem arose when I put four people to sleep.
“…Something’s strange. There’s undoubtedly an issue with the ritual.”
“It’s not the ritual; could there be a problem elsewhere?”
A particularly sharp-looking young priest opened his mouth.
“Perhaps someone… or maybe they deliberately…”
It was only natural for suspicion to arise.
I tried to look worried.
“What should we do? Should I attempt healing? I have ample sacred power, so…”
“No.”
The young priest shook his head.
“If even the High Priestess collapses, it will be a significant problem. Please stay quiet. Besides, under the current circumstances, it’s difficult to continue the ritual.”
I made an effort not to show any signs of joy.
Although the plan succeeded too easily, I couldn’t afford to be too happy; it wasn’t an easy task.
“It’s a problem, a problem.”
The elderly priest scratched his beard.
“What should we do about this…”
“What’s the problem, sir?”
“That’s…”
Before the priest could speak, he grabbed his head.
“Ah, ah!”
It seemed like he was screaming. The young priest urgently explained.
“If the ritual stops now, we won’t be able to leave the barrier! We have to continue somehow.”
“…What?”
My mouth went dry. Although I had diligently honed my skills as a High Priestess, I was ignorant and uninterested in the affairs of the priests, and it was coming back to haunt me like this.
“I set the end of the ritual as the condition for the barrier to open. Oh, what should I do… Everyone should wake up!”
I bit my lip. Since I had been consistently using the sleep skill, the four who had collapsed didn’t wake up immediately.
Unlike healing skills, the sleep skill was a unique skill possessed only by ‘Angelica,’ fortunately.
If not, they would have realized that this was my doing long ago.
I quickly approached the young priest.
“Is there no other way? The ritual can’t proceed with this number of participants.”
“…We can’t forcibly stop it. Ah…”
The priest let out a groan.
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.
