Prodia felt as though she was suffocating as she checked Papier’s status window.
‘Captivates the heart?’
Only then could she realize.
Why her heartbeat had risen unprecedentedly when she saw his face.
‘It’s because of this scam skill!’
Considering it made even her driedup heart pound, it was undoubtedly not an ordinary ability.
But there are usage restrictions?
‘So what extent does it mean when the restrictions are lifted…?’
A blueprint started to form in Prodia’s head.
Irtis on stage hitting the audience with a threetiered high note.
Then Papier opens his skill and captivates the heart…
The mere thought was thrilling.
Already the images of the two men ruling over the hearts of the fans seemed to be forming.
But there was still one more thing that was important.
Check the upbo status window.
‘I don’t even need to see it, it must be a jackpot.’
That was the moment Prodia was about to check the next page of the status window.
Suddenly Papier opened his eyes wide and asked her.
“Um, but… how did you know I was here and find me?”
‘Huh?’
What is he talking about?
Prodia asked him back.
“What do you mean by that? I’m seeing you for the first time today.”
Then Papier asked in surprise.
“Ththen why did you ask me that question earlier? Ah, never mind.”
Looking at the flustered Papier, suddenly everything fell into place.
She had been charmed by that innocent face and lost her senses for a moment.
But she remembered now.
That priest had definitely said this earlier.
‘…I didn’t intend to monitor you!’
Prodia’s mind cooled down.
She stared at Papier.
“Were you watching me secretly here?”
“Ah…!”
She tried throwing it out just in case.
But Papier began to shake so violently it seemed he might lose his breath.
That’s too obvious.
She glared at Papier menacingly.
“Why?”
“Heok! Ththat’s…!”
He looked as if he would collapse at any moment.
Prodia was dumbfounded.
No, why is he like that after monitoring her first?
It felt like she had become a predator threatening a herbivore.
‘He’s so timid, he couldn’t have monitored me on his own.’
Was there someone else’s directive? Why?
But the truth was entirely different from what she expected.
Suddenly, Papier fell flat on the floor and started begging for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean any harm by watching you! I just felt a strange divine power since you arrived at the proxy war, so I…”
Huh? Wait a minute.
When she arrived at the proxy war? So, has he been watching her all this time?
‘Why?’
What does he mean by divine power?
Then, the sobbing Papier raised his head and added.
“Actually, I still feel a divine power coming from you…….”
“You do?”
It was an even more unbelievable statement.
There’s no way she would feel divine power.
‘I’m not a priest, I’m rather a sinner destined for hell…’
Then Prodia finally realized what Papier was talking about.
The status window.
This priest could feel the energy of the status window.
‘The status window is like a message from God to me!’
Prodia hurriedly swept Papier’s status window away from her sight.
Pat!
Papier then turned his head this way and that towards the empty air.
“Huh? The divine power has suddenly disappeared…….”
‘Damn!’
Her suspicion was correct.
But she regretted sweeping away Papier’s status window too late.
‘Mistake. I should have checked up to the upbo status window…!’
If she displays the status window right now, he will definitely suspect.
What should she do?
But her thoughts soon changed.
Does she need to recruit this priest?
‘He seems very timid, so I don’t know if he can even stand on stage, besides…’
Something feels off.
Certainly, the other priests had not detected the status window. But somehow, this man could.
Furthermore, the place where the second suitable candidate appeared is, of all places, the apostolic vicarate?
Could it be that the deity deliberately bestowed the candidate…?
“Hmm… If this priest is beside me, I feel like I’d be watched by the boss’s direct secretary.”
He doesn’t look like someone who could be a spy, though.
Anyway, forget it. Let’s give up on this priest.
Although the stat called [Charm] is quite a waste, there’s no help for it. It’s restricted anyway.
Prodia put on a fake smile again and reached out to Paphier.
“Priest, it’s okay, please get up. I’m not comfortable if you stay like that.”
Paphier looked at Prodia with moist eyes.
“Believer…”
“And the fact that you felt holy energy from me, rather, is pleasing. Actually…”
Prodia helped Paphier to stand up, then preached towards the altar.
“There was an earnest wish that I could not achieve without a divine miracle. But since you, Priest, felt the divine power from me… could it be that my wish is coming true?”
Then Paphier spoke, absorbed in overwhelming emotion.
“Ah, I think I understand now! If you have a truly faithful heart, there are times when the deity will respond.”
Prodia did her best to agree.
“Then, really…?”
Paphier nodded enthusiastically.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
