As a professor of magic at Belfore, Jantife, instead of following Odette’s opinions, suggested that he would research her ability, and Odette reluctantly accepted.
Even Annesophie couldn’t help but occasionally praise Odette’s remarkable ability.
Odette’s ability, which even Annesophie couldn’t help but marvel at, could be easily explained:
[Bringing life.] At first glance, it might seem similar to healing abilities, but strictly speaking, the essence was different.The principle of healing abilities was to stimulate the inherent healing ability of living organisms or rewind the time of objects to restore them to their original state.
However, Odette’s ability was different.
Who could create a winged pen or turn a carriage into a horse?
Truly, the ability to create something out of nothing.
Jantife commented on this.
This is the power of a god.
‘Of course, it’s not entirely free to use.’
For example, the maximum she could create with a fountain pen was small animals like rabbits or doves.
To create a large life form, a correspondingly large object was needed, and the required magic power also increased accordingly.
Especially to create a creature the size of a horse, considerable determination was needed.
But this time, could it be that a god really helped?
“…!”
When Odette opened her closed eyes, a white horse was standing in front of her.
All the creatures she created seemed to understand Odette’s words and knew how to follow her will.
The horse politely kneeled in front of Odette.
Thus, Odette succeeded in coming to Ertman.
‘It was good that it came, but I used too much magic power.’
Odette’s ability had a relatively long preparation period for activation.
The problem was that she had already used her ability to assist in research at Belfore Academy a while ago.
During that time, she had created not small animals but large animals like horses, so it was inevitable that her body would be strained.
From the moment the tension was released, Odette was already at her limit.
‘At this rate, will I be able to go through the wedding ceremony tomorrow?’
Just as she was pondering this sudden worry, her body swayed heavily.
“Your Highness!”
“Odette.”
However, there was no collapse. Bacter, who had been holding onto her wrist until a while ago, immediately lifted her into his arms.
He seemed quite annoyed that Odette wasn’t in good condition, and with a frowning expression, Bacter said, “Enough with the explanations. You need to rest. Philip, go and bring the royal physician.”
“I’m fine….”
“What do you know.”
Bacter grumbled as if he was irritated by Odette’s constant assurance.
Odette, with a vague view, could see that Bacter was scowling, and she blinked her eyes slowly.
‘Did I say I’m fine so many times…?’
Perhaps because her head was foggy, nothing appropriate came to mind no matter how much she thought.
Of course, there were occasional problems, but it wasn’t such a serious situation.
‘Maybe… he’s upset because if I were to collapse, it might cause a disturbance in the wedding ceremony tomorrow.’
Well, considering Bacter wanted to hurry with the marriage, the fact that any delay might occur could be irritating.
Odette firmly grasped Bacter’s collar and said, “Bacter…”
“Please speak.”
“I, I’ll definitely get married tomorrow… Don’t worry…”
After finishing her words, Odette let out a small yawn and fell asleep right away.
Bacter, watching his fiancee who had fallen asleep without a care in the world, let out a wry smile.
“Ha.”
As much as he had been annoyed a moment ago, the tension seemed to have completely dissipated.
With a smirk, he gently moved Odette to the bedroom, laid her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and whispered as he covered her.
“Of course, we have to get married.”
As if I’d miss the chance to have you in my hands.
Even though the sleeping person couldn’t respond, Bacter, with a smiling face, whispered so.
And he kissed Odette’s forehead.
As he pulled away his lips, the laughter lines disappeared.
Instead, what remained was a deep and profound, inexplicable sorrow and determination.
Bacter gazed at the sleeping face of the woman who would be his wife for a long time.
Like moonlight seeping through the darkness, static and prolonged gaze.
Only when the moon was covered by clouds did he get up from the bed, quietly closed the door, and left.
Russell, who had been waiting outside, lowered his head and asked, “Your Highness, are you going to handle it now? It’s late, so it would be better to do it tomorrow or later…”
“I’ll handle it now.”
It was an unusually heavy and low voice compared to usual.
If it were a different time, Russell might have tried to dissuade Bacter with excessive politeness, but this time, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
The carriage carrying Bacter and Russell pierced through the night and stopped somewhere.
A small mansion in the suburbs.
As they passed through, those guarding the mansion recognized the two and bowed their heads.
Through the entrance, it was revealed that a woman tied to a chair was shedding tears.
Bacter, watching the scene with an indifferent gaze, called out to the other party.
“Elodie Montuare.”
Earlier, Ellie’s speculation was correct.
Most of what Bacter said was the truth.
However, there was one thing he had been hiding.
The reason he supported Elodie and had been pushing her forward all along.
It wasn’t just because of the relationship between noble families.
“It seems like nothing deviates from expectations. Truly, I’m thankful.”
From the beginning, Bacter had been drawing this picture.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
