It was Ehrich, who had come along to assist Estelle. Ehrich examined Estelle and then shot a hostile glance at Stella.
“Do you expect us to believe that from her?”
“But it’s the truth.”
“Are you doubting Lady Saint’s testimony right now?”
Archdeacon Simon responded unpleasantly to Ehrich’s doubt. Since he was one of the prominent figures in the Holy Kingdom, the nobles didn’t want to oppose him.
However, Ehrich didn’t care about such things.
“Should we believe that the Marquise’s lady suddenly collapsed while alone with Lady Saint? How can’t you even properly question in the Holy Kingdom?”
“It’s not about not questioning; it’s about showing respect towards Lady Saint.”
“Once Lady Saint clears the accusation of attempted murder against the lady of the Blanchett Marquisate, then we’ll show respect.”
“Assassination attempt?! Are you accusing the Lady Saint of being a sinner?”
Archdeacon Simon was astonished at the unimaginable words. Erich, who had been examining Estelle, casually stood up.
“What, so you’re saying that even if the Saint commits a crime, she wouldn’t be a sinner?”
“No, it’s not like that, but…”
“Then, in a situation where the lady of the Marquis is injured and the Saint, suspected as the assailant, is approaching even to speak, are you asking her to keep her manners?”
Erich’s pale gray eyes flickered fiercely like a beast.
Momentarily pressured by the momentum, Archdeacon Simon flinched and raised his voice.
“Hasn’t it been proven that Lady Saint committed a sin yet?! That’s an action disrespecting Lady Saint!”
“Are you daring to raise your voice in front of our lady, who has collapsed, in this place? Our lady is sensitive to nonsense! Please stop talking nonsense!”
As if it were natural, Erich shouted at Archdeacon, and Archdeacon Simon couldn’t respond immediately due to the absurdity of the situation.
‘What kind of person is this…’
Archdeacon Simon encountered such a openly rude person for the first time in his life. At that moment, Archdeacon Simon realized the fact that the person he was facing was Viscount Blonay, known as the mad dog of the Blanchett Marquisate.
‘Viscount Blonay, the lunatic for whom life means nothing. Acting in place of the Blanchett Marquis.’
He didn’t compromise with lunatics. Archdeacon Simon unconsciously stepped back and cleared his throat.
“S-Sorry. I just spoke, hoping that even the Blanchett Marquis would consider the standpoint of the Holy Kingdom.”
“Understood.”
Erich nodded quietly.
“So, can we interpret that the Holy Kingdom tried to assassinate Lady Blanchett, failed, and tried to cover up the incident?”
“W-What?”
“Or else, Lady Saint should clarify her position more firmly or find the culprit in the temple, shouldn’t she?”
At that moment, Stella grabbed Archdeacon Simon’s sleeve and spoke.
“B-But Lady Blanchett has a preexisting condition. What should I do if she suddenly experienced it, and I—”
The words sounded reasonable. When Erich momentarily hesitated, Archdeacon Simon also gained strength and shouted.
“Haven’t you, until now, taken responsibility for the temple, claiming that, and not even checked the condition of my master’s body? Come to think of it, didn’t you seek the help of our Lady Saint to treat Lady Blanchett’s preexisting condition?”
“…”
“Even so, how can you immediately suspect Lady Saint!”
Nobles were gathering around.
Although no one immediately stepped forward, they were closely watching the unfolding situation, growing increasingly serious.
“Did Lady Blanchett originally have a preexisting condition?”
“We thought she was just frail, but was it a big enough disease to receive help from the temple?”
At that moment, a woman among the crowd cautiously spoke up.
“But Saint, didn’t you completely cure Lady Blanchett’s illness with your divine power?”
“Huh?”
Stella opened her eyes wide in surprise. The woman, who had been contemplating, cautiously continued.
“I heard that you completely healed Lady Blanchett’s illness with your divine power last time. Then, hasn’t the illness completely healed?”
Archdeacon Simon turned his head abruptly and looked at Stella.
“…Well, that’s…”
Stella barely managed to catch her breath and clasped her hands together as if praying.
“It seems that Lady Blanchett’s illness has relapsed.”
“If it’s divine power, shouldn’t it be able to cure everything?”
Nobles who revered Stella as a miracle worker murmured. Stella explained calmly, lowering her long eyelashes.
“Sometimes, when the body condition is not good enough, the illness may recur.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Then, Saint, can’t you treat Lady Blanchett now? Just like you did before.”
The Saint smiled gently.
“Actually, it seems that Lady Blanchett collapsed due to my fault, and I’m glad I can help.”
The Saint slowly approached Estelle and closed her eyes. A white divine power rose around the Saint like a sacred aura.
A scene that triggered awe unfolded.
‘Is that divine power?’
‘Indeed, Saint is different.’
Everyone admired silently.
“Oh, Athea, bestow blessings upon Lady Blanchett.”
The Saint murmured with a tender voice.
The divine power surrounded Estelle’s body and was absorbed. People watched quietly, their attention focused on Estelle’s eyes.
‘Is she regaining consciousness now?’
‘I’m witnessing such a miracle with my own eyes…’
However, contrary to expectations, Estelle did not open her eyes.
A strange stillness set in.
‘When does divine power take effect?’
‘Didn’t the Saint say that she could even heal someone on the verge of death with her divine power?’
Blink, blink—people’s patience was gradually wearing thin. Among them, the person most tense was Archdeacon Simon.
‘It’s been quite a while since she collapsed.’
The Saint’s divine power should take effect immediately. Therefore, everyone should have no doubt about the greatness of the Saint.
‘There shouldn’t be any problem with the Saint’s divine power.’
At that moment, a doubt surfaced in Archdeacon Simon’s mind.
‘Surely the Saint isn’t intentionally not healing Lady Blanchett, who might have been harmed by her?’
At that moment, Erich asked irritably.
“How long will you pour divine power and pray? Is it really true that our lady will be cured?”
Stella shrugged her shoulders, avoiding eye contact.
‘Why isn’t divine power working? Why?!’
I opened my eyes and looked around.
‘Where am I?’
The surroundings were very dark. It felt like a cave, full of rocks and a nauseating smell.
‘Why did I suddenly vomit blood?’
The trees had assured me that there would be no more vomiting of blood.
‘Is it related to the Saint capturing me?’
If so, there must be a significant connection to this place as well. I felt my way around, walking towards the direction where light was visible.
Thunk—
At that moment, I unintentionally touched something like a cup on the ground. Hearing the sound of a gold cup rolling, I raised my head in surprise.
‘Why is there a cup here?’
At that moment, something lying beneath the bright light slowly rose. Even in the darkness, the sparkling blonde hair immediately caught my attention.
“Why are you here?”
Prince Carlos spoke sharply like a beast.
“Am I dreaming again?”
Prince Carlos Hwangtae.
‘Where on earth is this?’
Meeting someone completely unexpected, I was startled. Prince Carlos rushed towards me like a madman and grabbed me.
“It doesn’t matter if I’m crazy, as long as I see you, it becomes clearer.”
There was an inexplicable earnestness in his golden eyes.
“I was wrong. I need you.”
…Is he insane?
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.
