Surely There's One to the Princess' Taste (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 13
Papier.
A senior priest called the “walking miracle.”
A child born with the most powerful divine power in history.
Such a person was born in the Aivem Empire, not another kingdom.
This held immense political significance.
His very existence proved the gods’ favor toward the empire.
Moreover, with his divine power, he could perform countless miracles.
At this level, Papier could have used his power to secure any position he desired.
But Papier did not do so.
Because, to do such a thing, he was far too… timid.
“People staring at me makes me embarrassed!”
Yet, because he was born with extraordinary power, he always attracted attention wherever he went.
This was a tragedy for Papier.
The more people flocked to him, the more introverted he became.
“It’s overwhelming, I want to hide… I just want to lock myself away and read books alone.”
And so, he truly did that.
Avoiding contact with people as much as possible, he holed up in the Grand Temple’s library, studying theology.
As a result, despite his fame, few people actually knew his face.
But his innate talent would not leave him alone.
On the day he was ordained as a senior priest, skipping numerous ranks, Papier’s mind went blank.
With a trembling voice, he pleaded with the High Priest.
“S-Senior priest? High Priest, that position is too much for me!”
“Papier, excessive humility becomes a poison. If not you, who else is suited for this role?”
He wanted to cry.
But even after rising to a high position, his personality did not change.
After fulfilling his duties as a senior priest, he would slip away to a place where no one could find him.
He read books alone, prayed to the gods, and baked bread.
He rarely engaged in casual conversation with anyone.
“Being alone is when I’m happiest.”
This was Papier, the senior priest known as the walking miracle of the empire.
[This is the timeline separator]Prodia’s thoughts froze at the words Papier had just uttered.
“What… did you say?”
A date?
This man standing before her was definitely the priest she met earlier.
But… why?
He asked again with a playful smile.
“Hm? Why no response? I said, let’s go on a date.”
Is that… something a senior priest with great divine power should be saying?
Did he follow her because he found her status window suspicious? Is he testing her?
Prodia’s mind was in chaos.
At that moment, the hand wrapped around Prodia’s waist tightened.
Startled, Prodia tried to pull away from him.
But he didn’t let go easily.
“Whoa, careful.”
“Please let me go.”
“You almost fell backward earlier. You might have hurt your ankle.”
“I’m fine.”
“Want me to check if you’re really okay?”
“What…?”
Suddenly, he lifted Prodia into his arms.
Shocked, Prodia let out a scream.
“Eek! Put me down!”
Prodia flailed, dangling in his arms.
But he held her carefully and began striding somewhere.
Prodia’s mind was still in disarray.
“Is this really the priest I met earlier?”
He feels like a completely different person.
Just then, he sat Prodia on a nearby wall and removed her shoe.
Flustered, Prodia reached out to grab her shoe.
“Give it back!”
But instead of responding, he placed the shoe on the ground, examined her foot, and clicked his tongue.
“Look at this, it’s slightly swollen. That must’ve hurt.”
Prodia glanced down at her foot.
He was right.
The area near her ankle bone was scraped by the shoe, and her ankle was red and swollen.
Prodia said.
“It’s not a big injury, I’m fine. Just let me down from here.”
“If I let you down, will you go on a date with me?”
“A date? Stop joking, I need to get back.”
But he wasn’t listening to Prodia at all.
Instead, he gently held her foot with both hands.
“W-What are you doing…!”
Before Prodia could stop him, he lowered his head and lightly kissed her wound.
*Chuu.*
At that moment, Prodia’s rationality snapped.
“Kyaah-!”
Screaming, Prodia kicked him hard in the chest.
*Thwack!*
“Urgh!”
Caught off guard, he couldn’t defend himself and fell backward.
*Crash!*
Prodia shouted.
“What are you doing, you creep!”
But even while rubbing his chest, he grinned.
“I was disinfecting the wound.”
“What?”
Disinfecting, my foot. What kind of nonsense…
“Huh?”
But suddenly, her ankle didn’t hurt at all anymore?
Prodia instinctively looked down at her foot.
“The wound’s gone?”
The skin that had been scraped by the shoe was now completely fine.
No wound, no swelling remained.
Meanwhile, he dusted off his clothes, returned, and met Prodia’s eyes with a bright smile.
“Didn’t know you’d hate it that much, sorry. But it doesn’t hurt anymore, right?”
Prodia’s reaction was cold.
She calmly asked.
“Who are you, really?”
“Hm?”
“You seem like a completely different person from before…”
At her words, his gaze wavered subtly.
He slowly stood up and said.
“Did you meet Papier before me?”
“…What?”
“My name is Luca. What’s yours?”
“Luca?”
Not Papier?
Prodia was a bit confused but answered calmly.
“…Prodia Duser.”
“Prodia, that’s a pretty name.”
Then, as if emphasizing, he said clearly.
“Anyway, Prodia. That guy Papier is the fake. The real one… is me.”
Papier—no, Luca—looked utterly serious as he spoke.
Only then did Prodia realize the identity of this strange man.
Fake and real?
And judging by his completely different personality, there was only one answer.
“Split personality…!”
Calming her shocked heart, Prodia asked composedly.
“If I understood correctly… you’re saying you, Luca, are the primary personality?”
At her question, Luca’s eyes wavered again.
After a brief hesitation, the corner of his mouth slowly curled up.
“I thought you were just my type, but you’re sharp too.”
Unbelievable.
Prodia’s mind grew complicated as she learned this astonishing fact.
The walking miracle had a split personality.
How could someone change so drastically?
The person she met in the prayer room was like a gentle herbivore, but this man…
“The lamb of the gods turned into a wolf!”
Prodia met Luca’s gaze.
As expected, she wasn’t mistaken.
His eyes, golden when he was Papier, were now bright red as Luca.
Even the way he looked at her was entirely different.
Not just warm—it was sticky.
Meanwhile, Luca asked again.
“Now it’s your turn to answer. Wanna go on a date with me?”
Prodia replied sternly.
“Priests can’t date.”
“Then no problem. I’m not a priest.”
“What?”
He frowned.
“The priest is Papier, not me.”
“If you’re not a priest, how did you heal my wound earlier?”
“That’s just an innate ability.”
He stepped closer to Prodia and asked.
“Why, is something else hurting? Tell me, I’ll fix it right away.”
Wait.
“He’s not a priest when he’s Luca?”
Then… does he not have divine power either?
If he doesn’t have divine power, he probably can’t sense status windows either.
Should she test it? She was curious how the status window would differ with a different personality.
She quietly muttered to herself.
“Status window.”
*Pop!*
And the new status window that appeared explained everything.
[Name: Luca (Papier).Occupation: None (Senior Priest).
Dream: None.
Stats: Divine Power (Restricted), Healing Power (SSS)… Charm (S).]
Checking the status window, Prodia was shocked again.
“The two stats are swapped!”
It seemed Luca couldn’t use divine power, while Papier couldn’t use charm properly.
As proof, Luca didn’t notice the status window she had just opened.
Good. Now to check something really important.
Prodia muttered to herself.
“Status window, next page.”
A notification sound rang, and a new window appeared.
*Ding!*
[Quest partially completed!Found a suitable candidate (2/?)!]
“Found it. The second candidate.”
She had suspected as much with his [Charm (S)] cheat skill.
Next, Prodia checked the status window regarding karma.
[Producing Luca (Papier) can eliminate karma: ?,???,???]It was the same as with Irtis.
This time, too, the amount of karma that could be eliminated was seven digits.
But Prodia fell into deep thought.
Should she recruit this man?
The burden was too great.
Luca claimed to be the primary personality, but he was still Papier too.
The fact that he could sense her status window was unsettling, but the real issue was something else.
A miraculous priest loved by all. Taking such a person to the consort selection contest?
Convincing the High Priest aside…
“I’d be lucky not to get stoned on the street.”
Finally, Prodia made her decision.
She’d give up on this candidate.
She spoke to Luca.
“I’m really not hurt, and I’m not interested in dating. So, can you let me down now?”
But he didn’t back down.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
Ugh, this is going to drag on.
Prodia’s expression soured.
“No.”
“Then how about me?”
This is seriously annoying.
Prodia considered jumping off the wall.
No, if she hurt her leg, he’d probably offer to heal it again.
Or maybe she should run along the wall? It’s narrow, so that’d be risky.
Just then.
A purple flash sparked from the ground opposite them.
“Huh… that.”
It looked familiar.
At the same time, a pitch-black magic circle formed on the ground.
Prodia’s eyes shook.
No, it can’t be. There’s no way.
But it was true.
As purple smoke rose, a familiar figure slowly emerged from within.
“Irtis?”
Why is he here? He was told never to use magic inside the Grand Temple!
Wait, the real issue right now isn’t that…
“Isn’t that guy in the middle of the Oath Ritual?”
There’s no way it’s already over.
Meanwhile, Luca, focused on Prodia, hadn’t noticed the situation.
He said to Prodia.
“Come on, just meet me once and then decide, okay?”
First, she needed to shut this guy up.
“Should I hit him again?”
But Prodia didn’t need to act.
Irtis, now fully emerged from the magic circle, shot toward them like lightning.
Only then did Luca sense something and turn around.
“Who are you…”
But instead of answering, Irtis threw a powerful punch at Luca’s face.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
