Benjamin and Yurisien cautiously arrived at the Lake of Holy Law, trying to avoid encountering the undead as much as possible.
“Phew, fortunately, there don’t seem to be any Haevenkyo believers here.”
“Yeah, but we can’t afford to let our guard down.”
Benjamin hurriedly looked around, taking off his outer garment. He was already preparing to jump into the Lake of Holy Law. After completely removing his upper garment and double-checking that the Great Windsor Sword was properly strapped to his waist, he soon turned to Yurisien. As their eyes met, they immediately embraced each other.
“Be careful.”
“You too.”
The fate of the two, who had believed that speaking the truth about Hyscliff’s deception would resolve everything, had come full circle. However, the world was not so forgiving, leading them to the very place where everything began. When Benjamin promised to reveal himself in front of Yurisien, he never imagined that things would escalate to this extent.
It was the same for Yurisien when she encountered the Corrador Guildmaster. Yet, they didn’t blame each other for it. In the face of the unfolding truth and the impending massive events, the two firmly held each other’s hands to avoid being swept away.
“I’ll be back.”
After hugging Yurisien with all his strength once again, Benjamin let go and threw himself into the Lake of Holy Law. The relic buried somewhere in the Lake, the Holy Law. It was the only way to save the world and return to normal life with Yurisien. Resolve even dripped from Benjamin’s face.
Splash!
The sound of something plunging into the water resonated heavily in Greta’s ears.
“…What is it?”
An eerie feeling engulfed her. It felt like an unsettling premonition crawling from the tips of her limbs. Sensing that something had gone wrong or was about to, Greta, with a displeased expression, rose from her seat in front of those who worshiped her.
“Greta, my lady?”
“Where are you going?”
The Haevenkyo believers treated Greta, who elegantly rose, as if she were a goddess. In the midst of their exaggerated treatment, Greta felt irritated for a moment. How dare they try to reveal the secrets of the gods? It felt like a challenge to the authority of the gods, and it also felt like a restraint. Therefore, without answering, Greta turned away.
“Greta, my lady!”
“Greta, my lady!!!”
Although the Haevenkyo believers shouted and followed from behind, Greta created a barrier without exerting any effort. Not only preventing them from coming to her but also enclosing the believers in a barrier.
“You must awaken the ancestors!”
“You must be with them to be truly perfect!”
“You must purify the world!”
The believers were concerned that Greta might not use the tremendous power she obtained through Dolores’s sacrifice correctly. However, within the barrier cast by Greta using the mighty power of the god, there was nothing they could do.
Since gaining this power, Greta, who had first emerged from the forest, immediately searched all the lakes she knew. She even went as far as Mid-Andel, where the Gweisian Church was located, just in case, focusing on lakes that were considered sacred. However, in none of the lakes did she find anything suspicious.
“Is it just my imagination?”
Due to this strong power, her senses seemed to have become more heightened. Even sounds like the usual background noise of insects and the slight ripples on the lake reached her ears sensitively. If it was due to these changes, there was no need to be so alert and responsive to every little thing.
“But…”
For some reason, her steps did not falter. The sound of a splash kept bothering her ears. Something unpleasant was bound to happen. However, she had already checked every lake worth investigating.
There was nothing different. Greta, standing by a lake atop a high mountain, brushed aside her fluttering hair while feeling the wind. It was a moment when she was surveying the Soljereon Empire. Suddenly, Greta swayed as if someone had struck her hard on the back of her head.
“Oh…!”
She muttered a curse under her breath. Why didn’t she think of this? Wasn’t there another sacred lake?
“Lake of Holy Law!”
Since she had blown away the Hwangseong, she assumed that the lake would have naturally been buried. After all, the buildings of Hwangseong were blown away, but the site itself was not entirely gone. With her tongue clicking, Greta hurriedly headed towards the Lake of Holy Law. Although she didn’t know what she intended to do there, it was evident that she was planning something extremely annoying. She couldn’t just leave it be.
Hurriedly reaching the Lake of Holy Law, Greta, breathing heavily for no reason, looked around. The lake was calm. A few undead creatures grumbled as they walked around, but she found no particular abnormalities.
“Maybe it was just my imagination…”
Disappointed, but after visually confirming the Lake of Holy Law, Greta felt a little relieved. A sigh of relief naturally escaped her, and her previously anxious actions now seemed a bit comical.
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.”
