Episode 27
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
Donations that could not be left behind in the prayer room were eventually delivered through the priest .
The priest seemed to be embarrassed at first glance as if it was unusual to deliver such a separate message, but eventually, I still passed the pocket money to her
That was my last conscience .
I’m a thief, but I left the money behind . I put in a lot .
I left the temple with the enchanted cloth that had been stolen so safely .
And in the coming carriage, I unintentionally took a memory test .
This is because I suddenly remembered reading a passage of the book about the crown prince I encountered today .
‘That’s right, there’s a passage like that . ’
The prince’s visit to the temple of love at this time of year was also described in “Spring of the Goddess Agrita . ”
‘I’m sure…’
When the weather changes at the beginning of autumn . Feeling a sense of unprovoked emptiness recently, the Crown Prince wondered if he could know the cause of this sudden emptiness and loneliness – although I think it was just the feeling of autumn – he visits the temple of love in the west .
And there, he hears a prophecy from a new official priest- whose task is not hearing a prophecy, that said ‘You will meet your destiny within this year . ’
Later, the seasons changed and on a cold winter day, as he ran into Agrita like fate in a deserted alley in the capital, the crown prince suddenly recalled what he had heard in a temple in the past, and the scene of the recollection was exactly what I read in the book .
‘Wow . ’
I was slightly impressed .
‘My memory skills . ’
Aren’t I a genius?
‘Anyway, there’s a scene like that on the temple . ’
I understood why the Crown Prince was in that distant temple of love at this time .
And at the same time, I also feel pity .
‘I have no luck… . . ’
The encounter between the Crown Prince and me was quite a coincidental overlap . Of all things, the place, the time .
And of all things, the enchanted cloth .
‘ck,ck . ’
How will the Crown Prince return to his senses and recall today’s events in the future?
Would he think like ‘why on earth did I do that’ or ‘was I crazy’ and wouldn’t it remain a painful dark history for him? Turning the bedclothes into rags before going to sleep, and advising himself to die?
It was a pity . Why did he pick it up and put it around my neck instead of just giving it to me… . ?
I gazed out of the window in a flurry at the disaster brought on by his own kindness .
No, wait, is it kindness when he put something that dropped from the floor around the neck of someone?
‘Well…’
Anyway, bad luck was bad luck . I wish the crown prince, who is known for being excellent in many ways and for his outstanding memory, would be blessed to forget it as soon as possible .
Then I arrived at the mansion almost exhausted .
“Did you enjoy sightseeing in the temple?”
“My soul is drained out . ”
It was just getting dark by the time we arrived . I’ve been riding a carriage for almost half a day, and I’m dying . Ugh, this is too much .
Of course, Ash was the only one with a lively face that didn’t show any fatigue, but the physical strength between Ash and I was almost not comparable .
I relieved myself with the bath that Bessie had given me, and I recovered my strength with a simple dinner .
Around that time, Ari glowed by my side .
“Eonni, eonni . How was it? Did it go well?”
Ari did not mention the object or the detailed act because there were ears around him .
I showed my thumbs up without saying anything . Ari gave a small round of applause .
After a little chat in the living room, the evening passed quickly .
I immediately took Ari to my room .
“Tda!”
Soon the enchanted cloth showed its full appearance .
“Wow!”
Ari admired first .
“Is this that enchanted cloth?”
“Of course . ”
“Can I touch it?”
“What are you getting permission for? Just touch it . ”
Ari, who did not hide her curiosity, touched the cloth around . She caressed it very cautiously .
I looked fondly at her . Cute .
“How did you steal it?”
“Well, I stole it well, didn’t I?”
“Wasn’t it difficult?”
“Hmm . ”
At this time, it passed through my mind that I would have been caught red-handed while stealing and that I might not have solved the box’s password if it wasn’t for Ash’s face, but I decided about forgetting the past .
“It wasn’t a big deal . ”
“Wow . That’s amazing . Eonni, you look like that, who is it again?”
“What?”
“Angel girl…”
“Neti?”
“That and the mysterious thief… . . ”
“Lupin?”
“Hehe . ”
The giggled Ari soon lifted the cloth with a slightly bolder touch than before .
Then she tilted her head slightly .
“So, eonni . If I wear this, will everyone fall in love with me?”
She was intrigued to hear that it was a treasure from the book, but she seemed to be curious because she had not seen any proof from it yet .
The enchanted cloth, in fact, was plain on the surface and seemed so ordinary .
Not only the shape and colour, but also the material felt by the touch was not unique at all .
If I had not read the sacrifice of the Crown Prince in the temple from the book, I would have wondered if this plain cloth really had that effect .
Seeing is believing . It’s action rather than words .
“Would you like to try it yourself?”
“What?”
I lifted the enchanted cloth and wound it around my neck .
‘Because it’s said it’s effective for the same sex . ’
The types of emotions were slightly different, but I heard that longing and friendship were formed or deepened anyway .
Ari had no time to speak, looking at me wrapped in cloth .
After a while, I thought this would be enough, so I untied the cloth . Only then did Ari open her mouth with a sober face .
“Eonni!”
“How was it?”
“I almost asked you to marry me, eonni!”
“…Huh?”
Ari spoke passionately .
“It’s blinding . If I were a man, I would definitely propose to you . No, if this was the Netherlands, even a woman would have proposed!”
“Ah, is it?”
That’s too much .
I was a little startled by Ari’s passionate reaction .
Ari fluttered her hands as if her words could not express everything .
“It’s so amazing . It’s so amazing! What’s the principle?”
“Well… . Would we know if someone told us? It must be magic . ”
“Oh, is that so?”
Ari’s eyes, looking down at the enchanted cloth, shifted . Ari curled up the cloth and soon wrapped it around her neck .
“Look at me too, eonni . ”
But I’m already watching her .
It was not long before I was startled .
“Huck! Ma, Marry…… . ”
“Look at that! Right?”
“No, to be honest with you, the proposal is a joke . But it’s still amazing . ”
How should I express this? When Ari wore the enchanted cloth, Ari lit up in a twinkle .
I mean, the effect is like some kind halo, isn’t it?
It was so bright that I couldn’t take my eyes off it, and my heart was fluttering .
I wanted to be close . I needed to know her .
My heart was pounding with the urge to let my opponent know I was there and win her favour .
‘This is crazy . ’
I looked seriously at the enchanted cloth,
Why did they make this? Are they really making this as a present to the goddess?
‘If I wore this, I would have been burned to death because I was called a witch, not the goddess . …’
Perhaps it was for Agrita’s safety, not jealousy, that the crown prince burned down the enchanted cloth .
‘Crazy temple . ’
With such a grand name like the temple of love, but actually, they are just snobby .
Well anyway, thanks to them, I was gratified for this .
There are some non-scientific objects of this ridiculous effect, which is why I can have a sense of shame .
Ari will now use this cloth to attract Ash’s attention .
And so I’m going to tie Ash’s eyes and attention to her, and I’m going to be able to run away as originally planned .
“…… . ”
“Eonni?”
“Oh, huh . ”
“So from now on, am I going to use this enchanted cloth to seduce the villain?”
I wonder if she could have agreed . Just in time, Ari brought up the subject .
I nodded, ignoring the strange bitterness on the tip of my tongue . Maybe it’s because I’m tired .
“Right . ”
“Oh, I’m nervous . Will it work?”
“Are you worried it wouldn’t go well? You just saw the effect of cloth . ”
“That’s true . ”
‘But he’s still a villain . To kill such a pretty, nice, perfect eonni!’ Ari pretended to shiver .
When did perfect come after being pretty and nice? Maybe it’s because of my good characteristics .
I laughed at Ari, who was so hyper that she was shaking .
“Are you afraid of Ash?”
“Of course, he’s a villain . ”
For Ari, who knew the contents of the book, Ash seemed to be called the villain completely .
I pulled one leg from the bed and asked with my chin up .
“You don’t get excited?”
“Yes?”
“He’s handsome . ”
I may be a much known Ash as a villain better than Ari, but sometimes it’s hard to take my eyes off when we’re close enough and he crinkles his eyes and laughs .
Come to think of it, Ari did not seem to have paid much attention to Ash since she first appeared at the banquet hall .
She was the heroine back then, so I thought, of course, she’d do it .
Ari asked back, jumped on the place and shook her head .
“Oh, that’s true . Right, he’s really handsome . I’ve never seen anyone that handsome in my life since I was born . ”
“And?”
“And what more, his hair and eyes are not black . ”
“Huh?”
Unexpected reasons popped up . Ari said seriously .
“I guess I’m Korean to the bone . No, Asian? Anyway, if your hair colour and your eyes are colourful, not black or dark brown, it doesn’t look like a person . Just the feeling of looking at a handsome painting or sculpture?”
“Aha…”
This was unexpected again . Well, that’s possible .
I couldn’t come with that presume, since even in my previous life, I always like western actors with blonde hair .
“So Sir Davery also doesn’t look very human, does he?”
“The knight? Yes, well . ”
“What about Alex? He’s got brown hair and almost black eyes, he- the one that moved the frame from your room before . ”
“Oh, him? He looks like a human being, but just his appearance looks like a human being . ”
“Aha . ”
After a flurry of talk, the subject returned to the previous one .
Ari, who raised the enchanted cloth again, tossed the topic .
“Then this cloth, when and where shall we use it? I don’t think I should wear it around anytime . ”
