Then they reconciled among themselves again. The trees that were making a fuss began to speak solemnly.
We are the trees living in the Blanchett garden.
We have been waiting for a long time to talk to you. Probably all the trees that brushed past you were waiting for you.
Even though they said that, the solemn atmosphere didn’t return. But I listened carefully. This was a story that wasn’t even in the original work.
“…Me? Why me?”
Because you are the last fairy.
The last fairy.
‘Am I a fairy?’
One of the trees seemed to pat my head with its branches.
You must be very surprised to hear this all of a sudden.
“Um, well. So, am I… the last fairy?”
Yes. Haven’t you had any experiences where you’ve seen things others can’t?
I thought carefully, but I don’t remember seeing anything like a ghost.
“I don’t think so.”
That’s not possible. Then, in this mansion too? Fairies see the truth that has nothing to do with the present, so you might see things differently from others.
I had no guess. So I moved on to more productive conversation.
“But why didn’t anything like this happen before?”
We were constantly blocked from having a conversation with you.
Especially you…
A solemn atmosphere flowed between the trees.
Because you are cursed, you are constantly losing the power of the fairy.
A curse.
Fairies are the most valuable sacrifices, so they are often used as sacrifices.
Some terrible humans put such a terrible curse…
Suddenly, I remembered the contents I saw in the black magic book.
‘It said there had to be a sacrifice and a curse.’
The sound of my heart beating sounded surprisingly loud. I asked with a trembling voice.
“Do you know what kind of curse is on me?”
Unfortunately, we can’t know that far. There are so many complex curses on you.
The story is back to square one.
‘Who put the curse on me?’
In the original work, the black magician who appears the most is Johan. And he had a grudge against Libertan, even tried to take revenge on me.
‘But is it really Johan?’
I can’t jump to conclusions before confirming.
“Is there a way to confirm who cursed me?”
A medium is always needed for a curse. As the victim of the curse, you should definitely be able to recognize that medium.
“If I break the medium, can I lift the curse?”
Maybe so.
Then there was only one thing I had to do right now.
‘Johan’s office.’
If it’s hidden deep in the mansion somewhere, I can’t find it, but I can get into Johan’s office right now.
‘It’s also the place where Johan spends the most time.’
There were too many people when I went to give a snack last time, so I couldn’t look closely.
“I, I’ll go look for it now. But if I don’t seek you out like this, can’t we communicate?”
At that moment, a leaf fluttered down from above. The moment it touched the leaf, a greenish glow permeated my body.
Don’t worry. From now on, you can talk to us just by thinking about us.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I went straight to Johan’s office. It was a huge relief that no one was in the way.
However, I hesitated as soon as I looked at the office door for no reason.
‘What if Johan is in there?’
Then I shook my head vigorously.
‘I came to talk about that wish or deal last time.’
But somehow, my hand shaking as I opened the door, my body tense. But there was no one in the office.
“What a relief.”
As soon as I entered the office, I looked at Johan’s desk. The desk, left in haste somewhere, had papers on it.
Among them, one stood out.
‘A teddy bearshaped cookie?’
It was the same cookie that Johan gave me last time.
‘Did he leave it here to give it to me?’
It didn’t make sense, but as I was thinking that, I looked at a document with the name Libertan written on it.
Suddenly The door opened all of a sudden.
“This time, Viscount Blynu went to investigate…”
Honestly, I had somewhat expected this situation. I came in with an excuse in mind for that.
‘But the thing is…’
I grabbed my head with both hands.
‘Why am I hiding here?’
As soon as someone came in, I instinctively hid under the desk as if I was a thief chilling my own foot.
‘If I get out of here, I’ll be misunderstood!’
It was clear that the captain of the Knights and Johan were near the door now.
That’s when it happened. Someone slowly approached the desk.
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.”
