Papier.
Called the ‘walking miracle,’ a highranking priest.
A child born with the strongest divine power in history.
Such a being was born in the Aibem Empire, not in another kingdom.
This had a very significant political meaning.
Because his very existence proved the divine grace upon the empire.
Moreover, with his divine power, he could perform many miracles.
At this point, Papier could have seized any position using his power.
But Papier did not.
Because he was too… timid to do such a thing.
‘I’m embarrassed that people are looking at me!’
But he was always the center of attention wherever he went because he was born with special power.
This was a tragedy for Papier.
The more people flocked to him, the more introverted he became.
‘I feel burdened, I want to hide… I want to be alone, reading books.’
So he really did just that.
Avoiding contact with people as much as possible, he locked himself in the Imperial Library and studied theology.
Therefore, despite Papier’s fame, very few people knew his face.
But his innate talent did not leave Papier alone.
Skipping many steps and being appointed a highranking priest, Papier’s head turned pale.
He pleaded to the regent with a trembling voice.
“A highranking priest? Regent, it’s too much for me!”
“Papier, too much humility becomes poison. If not you, who else would fit this position?”
He wanted to cry.
But his personality did not change even when he reached a high position.
After fulfilling his duty as a highranking priest, he hid again where no one could find him.
Reading books alone, praying to God, baking bread.
He rarely even engaged in small talk with someone.
‘I’m happiest when I’m alone.’
This was the highranking priest called the walking miracle of the empire, Papier.
(This is a time separator.)
Prodia’s thinking came to a halt at the words Papier had just uttered.
‘What… did he say?’
A date?
The man standing in front of her now was definitely the priest she had met earlier.
But why…
He asked with a gentle smile in his eyes.
“Huh? Why aren’t you answering? Date with me?”
Was that something to be said by a highranking priest with great divine power?
Did he suspect the status window and follow her? To test her?
Prodia’s mind became confused.
Then, the force in his hand wrapped around her waist increased.
Startled, Prodia tried to pull away from him.
But he did not let her go easily.
“Whoa, be careful.”
“Please let me go.”
“You almost fell backward earlier. You might have hurt your ankle.”
“I’m fine.”
“Shall I check if you’re really okay?”
“What…?”
He suddenly lifted Prodia up.
Startled, Prodia screamed.
“Agh, put me down!”
Prodia dangled from him, flailing her legs.
But he held her gently and started to walk somewhere.
Prodia was still confused.
‘Is that really the priest I met earlier?’
He seemed like a different person.
Just then, he sat Prodia down on a nearby wall, and took off her shoe from her foot.
Startled, Prodia reached out to snatch the shoe.
“Give it here!”
But instead of answering, he laid the shoe on the ground and examined Prodia’s foot, clucking his tongue.
“Look, it’s a little swollen. Must have hurt.”
Prodia also glanced at her foot.
He was right.
There was a scrape on the peach bone, and her ankle was red and swollen.
Prodia said.
“It’s not a big injury, I’m fine. More importantly, please let me down.”
“If I let you down, will you go on a date with me?”
“What date! Stop joking and, I have to go back soon.”
But he wasn’t listening to Prodia’s words at all.
Instead of answering, Prodia tenderly wrapped both hands around her foot.
“What, what are you doing…!”
Without giving Prodia a chance to stop him, he bowed his head and lightly kissed her wound.
Smack.
In an instant, the thread of Prodia’s reason snapped.
“Kkkkyaak!”
With a scream, Prodia kicked him in the chest with her foot.
Thump!
“Cough!”
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, he fell backward.
Crash!
Prodia yelled.
“What are you doing, you pervert!”
But he was still laughing and staggering, rubbing the place where he’d been hit.
“It’s a disinfection.”
“What?”
Talking nonsense about disinfection. What kind of trick is this…
‘Huh?’
But suddenly, her ankle didn’t hurt at all?
Prodia absentmindedly looked down at her foot.
‘The wound’s gone?’
It was scratched by the shoe, and the skin had peeled off, but now it was astonishingly fine.
Neither wound nor swelling remained.
Brushing off his clothes, he came back and met Prodia’s eyes, smiling brightly.
“I didn’t know you’d hate it so much, sorry. But it doesn’t hurt anymore, does it?”
But Prodia’s reaction was cold.
She calmly asked.
“Who exactly are you?”
“Huh?”
“You seem entirely different from before…”
At her words, his gaze at Prodia seemed to waver strangely.
He slowly stood up and said,
“Did you meet Papier before me?”
“……Yes?”
“My name is Luca. What’s your name?”
‘Luca?’
Not Papier?
Prodia was a bit confused but answered calmly.
“……Prodia Duser.”
