The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 147
“I hope my humble presence hasn’t inconvenienced such esteemed guests.”
Len spoke gently as he took the seat brought to him by Cledwin’s knight.
Truly, as they said, he was still young—his face so boyish that strangers might easily mistake him for a student still attending the academy. Yet, from his clear features radiated a purity so divine, so luminous, that everyone around him instinctively felt humbled in his presence.
Though the people of Maindlant weren’t particularly fervent followers of the state religion, Timaeusism, seeing Len made one feel as if they should rush straight to the temple.
‘He’s really grown.’
Neris, however, who knew Len’s true nature, remained entirely unmoved by his transformed appearance after so many years. Observing how unusually cooperative he was being with Cledwin, she understood his survival strategy all too well.
And yet, despite his cooperative demeanor, there was nothing servile about him—his confidence shone through clearly. No matter how humble his words, his stature subtly revealed itself, impossible for anyone to overlook.
After Len’s graduation, she had hardly heard anything of him. Judging by the high priest’s robes he now wore, he must have caused quite a stir in theological circles—but word had never reached her.
She felt a flicker of pleasure. Given the circumstances, she couldn’t openly acknowledge him, but Neris was certain of her feelings—especially in this situation.
Len continued speaking, as beautifully as a blessing-angel.
“Thank you for this magnificent feast. I would gladly offer a humble blessing to everyone present, but as dinner has already begun, I shall defer that to a later time.”
“What an honor.”
Though his face didn’t seem convinced it was truly an honor, Cledwin replied smoothly. Watching him, Marquis Tipian swallowed hard, his mind on the verge of exploding with anxiety.
‘He couldn’t have known and summoned him.’
Len Feyel’s parish was quite distant from here. It would have taken weeks—perhaps over a month—to travel here, meaning Len must have departed before the Marquis’s arrival. Cledwin, no matter how powerful, wasn’t known to possess prophetic abilities, so this truly was a coincidence.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
