“……If you had the temple’s approval, why didn’t you have a wedding?”
The priest smiled kindly.
“Well, there may be individual circumstances, but from what I heard, they didn’t want the temple’s approval at the time.”
“My goodness.”
“It’s hard to understand the Duke’s mind even more so. Whether he proposed to us because he dislikes us, or not.”
“…….“
“The Duke of Blanchett is that cruel of a man.”
“…….“
“Since she’s a young lady from a fallen family, he could invalidate even the temple’s approval if he wants.”
The priest seemed to see the Saintess’s blue eyes shine ominously for a moment.
‘My imagination.’
The Saintess, who grew up gently in the temple, was still pure as a child.
Wasn’t that pure and beautiful heart the reason why God granted her such strong divine power?
“I pity the Duke of Blanchett.”
The Saintess bowed her head sadly.
“Maybe he treats women that way because he has never met true love?”
“It’s possible.”
“God’s grace must be with him…….”
Around that time, the Saintess’s carriage arrived at the temple.
The priests greeted the Saintess from the entrance, fussing over her as she got off the carriage.
“Saintess, was there anything unpleasant or difficult at the Duke of Blanchett’s house?”
“The Duchess of Blanchett is said to be so wicked…….“
“Didn’t the priest Berto also receive great punishment for the Duchess’s abominable deeds?”
The Saintess smiled at them with a pallid face.
“I was fine. Just… it was a bit tough.”
“What did you say to the saintess who tried to heal you with divine power! What on earth happened!”
“It’s alright, it’s nobody’s fault.”
The saintess, smiling in spite of the priests’ worries, entered the room. An unpleasant thought came to mind.
Especially that disgusting face that laughed as if it were her own.
‘It can’t be.’
Just before she arrived at the room, the corner of Stella’s mouth was trembling slightly.
“Sister.”
The priest who had accompanied her asked Stella.
“Shall I call another priest? Are you really okay to be alone?”
“It’s okay. A little rest will do.”
There was a large mirror in the middle of the room.
Above the mirror, the beautiful and dignified image of Estelle was reflected.
‘Now that it’s come to this, I have no choice but to find my place…’
Stella slowly lowered her long eyelashes.
The respect of the servants, the knights, the love of her husband, she borrowed them all for a moment.
“Pitiful and pathetic person.”
Stella slowly prayed.
‘To be deluded not knowing it’s a place I borrowed temporarily…’
What a pitiful and sad thing.
After all, the one who truly deserves it is Estelle herself.
Stella, who prayed with a sacred face, smiled gracefully.
The agitation from earlier was nowhere to be found, only the usual calm and beautiful image of the saintess remained.
Stella, who had slowly adjusted her demeanor, left the room again. She had something to tell the priests.
“Sister. I’m sorry to disturb you during your rest.”
At that moment, a priest hurriedly sought Stella.
“Duke Blanchet has sent a protest letter, requesting that the saintess not come to the mansion no matter what happens from now on.”
“…….”
“If you try to cross Duke Blanchet’s mansion, even if you are a saintess, you will see blood. And not only the saintess but also the temple will have to take responsibility.”
Stella’s hand, holding the protest letter, trembled slightly.
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.
