She touched his forehead only briefly, but she realized that Eurtis was a grand wizard.
Prodia was surprised and asked the old lady,
“How did you know?”
“This place is where those headed to the palace stay. Naturally, among them… there are wizards.”
Somehow, the old lady trailed off at the end of her sentence.
She continued to examine Eurtis’s body closely.
“Normally it doesn’t hurt this much. You might get a slight fever, but that’s about it.”
According to Eurtis’s words, the original side effect of the divine power was not a serious illness.
Upon hearing the old lady’s explanation, Prodia became anxious.
It’s not a normal situation. What should she do then?
At that moment, the old lady muttered,
“The container is extraordinarily large. This is the first time I’ve seen such a case.”
Container?
Prodia hastily asked,
“What do you mean by container?”
“It refers to the total amount of magical power an individual can possess. So, I guessed that this fellow might be a grand wizard.”
The old lady sat down on a chair and continued her explanation.
“You must already know that this land is a sacred area, overflowing with divine power?”
“Yes.”
“Usually, the wizard’s power and an equal amount of divine power collide with each other.”
“So you’re saying…”
“I’m not certain, but if this young man’s power is strong, wouldn’t it clash with a greater divine power?”
Saying this, the old lady clicked her tongue.
“To be in such pain that he loses consciousness, just how remarkable a wizard is he?”
Prodia felt dizzy.
So in summary, is Eurtis a wizard with monstrous power, and that’s why he’s suffering more than others?
‘If he’s being hit with as much power as his own abilities…’
Is he being struck by SSSclass divine power?
It must be incredibly painful, truly.
It’s a miracle he’s still alive, isn’t it?
Prodia asked the old lady,
“So what can we do to wake him up?”
“Waking the sleeping prince? Isn’t the way obvious?”
“Yes…?”
The old lady grinned.
“The young lady must give him a kiss of love.”
“What?!”
Seeing Prodia’s horror, the old lady laughed heartily.
“Just kidding.”
…Should we move to another inn?
Prodia seriously considered it.
But the old lady continued to speak, concern on her face.
“I’ve seen it a few times, but there’s no cure for this side effect. Besides, he’s a grand wizard, so he might suffer all night. You should rest as well.”
Is there no other choice?
Prodia nodded.
“I understand. Which room should I use?”
“Hm?”
The old lady tilted her head.
“The only room left is this one.”
“…Yes?”
So right now, she’s asking me to share a room with Eurtis?
At her reaction, the old lady asked as if it was strange,
“Why? Aren’t you two a couple?”
“We’re not!”
“Well, if you’re not, you’re not. It’s just a matter of personality.”
With those words, the old lady got up from her seat.
As she was about to leave the room, Prodia hurriedly asked her,
“Are there really no other rooms left? I’m fine with a storeroom.”
“Do you want me to find a corpse in that cold place? The young man won’t be able to lift a finger all night, so what’s there to worry about?”
“…!”
“I’m tired. I need to close my eyes as well, so rest now.”
With those words, the old lady closed the door and left.
Prodia stood still in the room for a while.
What on earth is this situation…
Then, she heard a cough from Eurtis behind her.
“…Cough!”
Finally, Prodia came to her senses.
‘I’m worrying about other things while leaving the patient.’
She turned and approached where Eurtis was lying down.
He was groaning in pain, still looking quite miserable.
Prodia murmured, looking at him,
“Liar. You said you’d be better soon.”
And yet, it wasn’t a few hours, but he’d be suffering all day.
How strong is Eurtis’s magic?
Several times, no, several hundred, several thousand times more than ordinary wizards?
‘Should I laugh or cry at that monstrous talent?’
Whatever it is, just wake up quickly.
Prodia sighed and pulled a nearby chair to sit down.
Thump.
There’s no medicine to give.
‘I can’t do anything.’
There’s nothing to do but wait and watch.
Thinking so, Prodia began to adjust her schedule for the future.
‘I might arrive a few days late for the substitute. Then the training schedule….’
Suddenly, Irtis’s body began to tremble like a withered tree.
A painful sound escaped his lips.
“Ugh….”
“Irtis?!”
He seemed to be shivering.
Prodia quickly got up and ripped off the black robe Irtis was wearing.
His white blouse was already soaked in sweat.
Damn, it’s driving me crazy.
‘Is this… do I have to change his clothes?’
Prodia’s face twisted in displeasure.
I have to undress him with my own hands.
‘Should I just leave him? He’ll get better with time.’
Yeah, let’s do that. He looked strong; he won’t die.
Once Irtis gets up, he’ll use healing magic or whatever. Right.
But soon, a strained moan and the sound of teeth grinding began to come from his mouth.
It’s driving me mad, really.
Prodia gently shook his body.
“Irtis? Snap out of it.”
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.”
