A god appearing in the size of a tiny fairy.
‘That guy!’
No, I correct myself. What appeared before me now was a messenger of a god.
‘Ah!’
I moved quickly, thinking that the children should not see the messenger of a god.
[All this time…….]The messenger of the god, who was about to chatter, was surprised as I quickly pushed Beris and caught him.
“Your Highness?”
“Ah, it’s nothing! I was just stretching, exercising!”
It must seem strange to suddenly jump up after being quietly asleep. I hastily made an excuse and deliberately shook my arms and legs.
“There we go!”
Innocent children believed even an obvious lie. Carlisle didn’t seem to doubt it either.
“So, you’re not sleepy now?”
Lonowe smiled brightly.
“That, that’s right. I’m fully awake.”
I laughed awkwardly.
“Then let’s play with Your Highness too!”
Why do they have so much energy left? I felt the messenger of the god fidgeting in my hand and spoke.
“No! Play first.”
I spoke, gripping tightly for fear the messenger of the god might escape.
“Heung…….”
“I understand.”
Lonowe and Beris were disappointed but didn’t nag.
“Rest comfortably.”
The children ran around with Carlisle, whom they claimed as their own.
“Phew…….”
It’s fortunate that there’s someone who can communicate. I loosened my grip, watching for the right moment.
[Don’t worry. Those children won’t be able to see me.]The messenger of the god circled around me, flying and sat on my left.
[Why has the messenger of the god come here? Has God decided to forgive me?] [There’s no chance of that before finding the answer.]I used telepathy because I didn’t like looking like I was talking to thin air. I chose this method to avoid being treated like a lunatic.
[Then why have you come? You haven’t come for centuries.] […….]What did you fly such a long way for then? I frowned in anger, and the messenger of the god suddenly shut its mouth, then suddenly said something unexpected.
[It seems you have made interesting friends in this life.]Instead of giving me the answer I wanted, the messenger of the god observed Lonowe, Beris, and Carlisle.
“Sigh, young masters! You can’t lie down and roll around here.”
The adult maid also couldn’t see the messenger of the god. Apparently, no one nearby noticed our conversation, probably due to the messenger’s ability.
‘These guys….’
I clicked my tongue inside, looking at the tired children panting.
“Lonowe, Beris.”
Then, Carlisle, who had closed the book he was watching, approached the children.
“Did you forget what the Duke said not to lie down on the floor?”
Carlisle, the fullfledged nanny. I chuckled and then felt the gaze of the messenger of the god.
[We’re not friends.]I quickly denied it out of embarrassment, and the messenger of the god that was staring fixedly at me said,
[Still, how about seeking the answer with their help?]The messenger of the god, now a little softer, sipped the tea.
[Raising expectations?]I recalled the very disappointing moment when I relied on the kids, and my nerves sharpened.
[I was a fool to expect from those young ones. They all just talked nonsense.] [Is that so? However, this is the first time living like this. Isn’t it worth expecting this time?] [Expectation is what…….]A mocking laugh came out.
[I’ve heard that not just once or twice.]The blond noble young lady, the woodcutter, the merchant… Past lives flash by like a revolving lantern.
What did the messenger of the god say in every life? That I might find the answer this time, and tortured me with hope.
‘But I failed every time.’
Even such a thought came to mind in bitterness.
[Has God abandoned me?]Once a favorite, the demand for endless reincarnation and finding an answer seemed only like hatred.
[You’ll know when you find the answer.]However, the messenger of the god repeated the same words and soon began to eat a biscuit, perhaps feeling hungry.
‘Annoying.’
이 자식은 제대로 대화할 생각은 있는 건지, 확 던지고 싶다. 나는 눈을 부릅뜨고 신의 사자를 쳐다봤다.
이윽고 괴로운 얼굴로 불만을 터트렸다.
[Is there even an answer? I often forget why I’m living like this. I don’t even know if I can find it!] [Then, you have to live like this for the rest of your life.]This child is saying it seriously! I was infuriated by the attitude of the angel of God who spoke lightly.
[Are you speaking seriously?]I made a face that said I wouldn’t let it go if he didn’t speak straight.
[Give me at least a clue.]I wanted to hit him, but I swallowed my anger and spoke calmly.
[Even the people considered smart don’t know.] [Speaking from what you still don’t know, that method is useless.]The angel of God who nailed it sighed.
[Even if you get help, the final answer must be realized by yourself for the eternal yoke to end.]I was stunned by the words of God’s angel.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
