“The amethyst bead is my heart. My will is what’s important.”
It had never been broken from the beginning.
Lorencia stretched out both hands and concentrated. From the sphere of light gathered in her palms, a beautiful violet light that she had never seen before began to emanate. The violet light soon began to fall like a waterfall onto the earth.
The violet light that began to permeate the earth started to seep into the roots of the trees filled with venom, undulating like waves. The violet light began to spread along the roots to the tree trunks and branches.
Gradually, the light began to grow stronger.
As the light from the trees stretched high into the sky, the black venom and smoke began to disappear. Lorencia slowly closed her eyes with a smile. Now she felt she knew what her duty was as a child of the Goddess Ella.
[Open your eyes.]At the voice telling her to open her eyes, Lorencia’s eyelids lifted. Looking around, it was a place filled with light. And before her eyes, she saw a beautiful fairy with lovely green hair and eyes.
[Thank you for reviving the life water. Child of Goddess Ella. Thanks to you, I was able to awaken as well.]“No, thanks to you, I learned what I should do. Are you Queen Titania?”
[That’s right. You must have many questions.]Lorencia nodded. And she began to ask the things she was curious about one by one.
“You said you welcome me back to my hometown.”
[It’s not wrong. The children of Goddess Ella are also born through the life water.]“But I……”
[I know you were born between Cain and Musilla. No matter how you were born, if you are a tree that has taken root, you are connected to the life water here. I can read the heart of such life water. You are also a young tree connected to the life water.]Titania caressed Lorencia’s red hair and cheeks with both hands.
[The life water also knows everything you’ve been through.]“I’m not a tree, though.”
[The black snake of the earth must have called you a young tree whenever it saw you.]At her words, Lorencia recalled how Teishar occasionally called her a young tree whenever he looked at her. She thought it was just a nickname and didn’t think much of it.
“Come to think of it… He did call me a young tree sometimes.”
[Being able to see a young tree is one of the blessings of the black snake of the earth. At least in the snake’s eyes, your tree is visible.]“Yes, Queen.”
[It must have been very difficult.]“It was very hard. Honestly, there were many times I wanted to die.”
Lorencia smiled. Even though it wasn’t her fault, she was tormented by self-reproach. She was afraid to judge anything. Fearing that a single word would be her fault again, she gave up on thinking and relied on Ruans for everything.
“No, I misspoke about wanting to die many times.”
Each time she heard him say he loved her, she pondered what her reason for existing in this world was.
“Because it was hard, I needed help.”
In the worst situation before her last death, she prayed to Goddess Ella for the first time, thinking of potato soup.
“I prayed for help for the first time…”
Lorencia spoke in a flat tone.
“And I asked for help.”
Her 29-year-old self didn’t have the energy to kill herself.
She had used up all her energy crying over being abandoned, and she couldn’t sleep or eat.
When she came to her senses and tried to give up on life, she hoped to continue living while thinking of potato soup.
Only then did she realize. That she didn’t love Ruans. What she needed was someone’s help.
Her prayer to Goddess Ella, which she dared to make as she collapsed in prison, was a prayer asking for help.
“I just prayed for help for the first time, and it came true.”
Tears began to flow down Lorencia’s cheeks.
Her twisted life was unexpectedly being fulfilled according to her prayer. She was given a new life and became surrounded by people, no longer lonely.
She was able to meet a real family and gained a lover named Teishar who sincerely cared for her.
[Receiving help means another opportunity has come. Fortunately, you seem to have grasped that opportunity well.]It was when Lorencia purified the venom in the life water and was conversing with Titania.
Outside the thorny vines, Evan, Amelin, and the knights who were waiting were stunned to see a bright light suddenly rising like a pillar high into the sky.
“Warm light…”
“I can’t believe it.”
As the pillar of light appeared, Evan covered his mouth, and tears began to well up in Amelin’s eyes.
“Evan. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”
“To think I would see the pillar of light that I longed for once again.”
The pillar of light gradually began to spread. The knights didn’t know what to do with the widely spreading and growing pillar of light. Soon, the pillar of light reached a distance where one could touch it if they stretched out their arm.
“Monsters have appeared!”
“Prepare for battle!”
Several monsters began to emerge from the bushes here and there. Tension filled the air among the knights who had taken up battle positions.
“We must hold out until the Duke comes out!”
However, the monsters did not attack the knights. Even when a knight swung his sword at an approaching monster, the monster did not attack the knight who had swung the sword. Sensing something strange, the knights stopped their attack.
If it were a normal monster, it would have approached and attacked first. But despite the knights’ preemptive attack, the monsters that emerged from the bushes simply walked past them and began entering the pillar of light.
“Look at that! All the monsters are walking into the pillar of light.”
“What on earth is happening?”
“The monsters are disintegrating on their own upon touching the light of the pillar.”
“Unbelievable.”
“What is happening inside that pillar?”
It was an unbelievable sight. The monsters that walked into the pillar of light began to disintegrate like ashes from a fire scattering in the wind as soon as they touched the pillar.
Monsters continued to appear from the bushes and walk into the pillar of light.
The knights, who had been prepared to fight the emerging monsters to the death, slowly sheathed their swords, watching the monsters that did not attack them but only headed towards the pillar of light.
With the tension easing from the relief of being alive, they began to smile one by one and look up at the pillar of light.
In a short moment, the pillar of light spread even wider.
Dran, the captain of the 1st Knight Division of the Spencer Duchy, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
The other knights followed suit and began to pray with their hands clasped.
That day, with the appearance of the pillar of light, the people of the Poloid Empire prayed with their hands clasped towards the sky.
That prayer was directed solely to the Goddess Ella.
[This is the timeline separator]At Titania’s words to close her eyes and open them, Lorencia closed her eyes and slowly lifted her eyelids.
“Wow.”
Lorencia couldn’t take her eyes off the beautiful scenery that made her exclaim in admiration once again.
The tree branches, which had withered to the bone due to the venom until just a moment ago, thickened and the leaves bloomed fully. The flowers on the tree bloomed and quickly fell, and then fruits formed.
The pillar of light extending up the tree was so warm and sacred that Lorencia unconsciously clasped her hands together and looked up at the pillar of light.
“Those fruits are…”
[The fairies that will be born in the future.]“They’re so pretty. Queen Titania.”
[Your Majesty.] [Koa.] [I brought the child of Goddess Ella.]Koa spoke in a tearful voice as she looked at the restored life water and the awakened Titania.
[Even though you were eroded by the venom, you didn’t lose yourself. Koa. I’m proud of you.] [It’s thanks to meeting Roa before I lost myself. Your Majesty.]Koa’s gaze turned to Lorencia.
[Roa. Thank you. For reviving the life water and waking up Her Majesty…]Sniffling, Koa sincerely expressed her gratitude to Lorencia.
[And not just me, other fairies have started to gather here after being purified! This is all thanks to Lorencia. I won’t forget this favor.]As soon as Koa finished expressing her thanks, various voices began to be heard from here and there.
[The child of Goddess Ella has returned to the forest.] [The young tree saved us.] [My name is Zea! Let’s be friends! Child of Goddess Ella.] [How long has it been since we’ve seen the life water free from venom?] [It’s been 20 years.]Lorencia looked around with a bewildered face, continuously glancing at the many fairies who had approached her.
[Hey! The child of Goddess Ella is overwhelmed. Everyone, be quiet!]“Roa.”
“Yes. Ter.”
Seeing Teishar, Lorencia smiled and approached him.
[Those red eyes! Why is the black snake of the earth here?] [He managed to follow all the way here.] [Wait, those two are calling each other by pet names. Could it be that the child of Goddess Ella and the snake are lovers?] [I told you to be quiet! Roa is flustered. You idiots!]“What’s wrong? Roa.”
Teishar asked worriedly, seeing Lorencia’s bewildered expression.
“There are many fairies around me now.”
[Wow. The snake and the child of Goddess Ella are lovers. My heart is pounding!] [Roa. Roa. Are you really lovers with the snake?] [Who confessed first?]Teishar shifted his gaze around Lorencia. No matter how much he looked, the fairies were not visible to his eyes at all. However, he saw the figure of a small woman with large 8-piece butterfly wings in front of the life water tree. And he instinctively felt that the fairy was Queen Titania.
“Is the fairy in front of us the queen?”
“Ter. Can you see Queen Titania?”
Lorencia asked Teishar, who was looking at Titania.
“I think so.”
Knowing that she was the fairy queen, Teishar became tense.
As Titania slowly flew towards Lorencia, the whispering of the fairies diminished.
“Hello. Fairy Queen. I am Teishar of the Spencer family of the Poloid Empire.”
[Nice to meet you. I’m Titania. Black snake of the earth. Feel free to call me by my name.]Titania smiled brightly and gave permission to call her by her name.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
