To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 162
“—If they were the former king, they’d be long dead by now. Shall we pray together for the former king’s eternal rest?”
At Jeor’s words, the child shook their head vigorously.
“—The former king does not die.”
“—Where in the world is there someone who never dies? Everyone dies. You’ll die, and I’ll die too. I might even die before you do. Come to think of it, I envy you—you’re young, and that’s wonderful.”
“—No. Even if we die, the former king will not die.”
As they spoke, the child began telling the legend of the former king passed down among the Paganus.
They said she had already lived for countless ages even before ascending the throne. Long centuries had etched deep wrinkles onto her face, and her eyes were golden like the sun.
“—But, you know… when she truly laughs with joy, she looks just like a little child—like a very pretty little girl.”
Legends of a savior existed everywhere.
Among the Paganus, who had long lived as fugitives, the savior legend was intriguing but nothing more. Jeor left the terrified villagers behind and departed the village with his knights. By the time the village vanished from sight, his conversation with the child had already faded from his mind.
He never imagined that this dismissed tale would suddenly become reality.
“—Her face was full of wrinkles, yet when she smiled, she looked just like a child.”
Shini wouldn’t have made things up. Having been abandoned at birth and confined behind iron bars, Shini never had the chance to hear the savior legends circulating among the Paganus.
Jeor stared at Cyrus, who was waiting for his reply.
They said Cyrus and Louis had been unable to move in front of that old woman. That surely meant she wasn’t an ordinary crone.
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.
