Calm down, Jung Yeseo.
Benjamin, Ganael.
Stay calm.
It looks like Im about to beco a slacker.
I could not be completely calm.
After assessing the situation, I had the divine beasts dangling on as I proclaid that, witnessing the two attendants faces going dark.
The teary Ganael flailed both hands around saying that sothing like that would absolutely not happen. Youll get your ether back soon, your highness! He comnted.
Benjamin calmly nodded his head.
Huh? Hold on.
How did you know?
I blinked in confusion.
I never told them about my ether not coming out but the two of them already seed to know about my condition.
Benjamin and the young boy exchanged glances before struggling to speak.
Your highness Our dreams returned to normal since you lost consciousness. All of the staff in Juliette Palace have been clearly feeling that. However, nobody dares to speak about it.
Ah. I forgot there was sothing like that.
It is not that we are suddenly struggling with nightmares. It just beca similar to how it had been during the winter before you entered the palace, your highness. We have not said anything about it because we thought you might get shocked if we told you first.
We have simply returned to our old normal, your highness. Please do not feel apologetic.
In fact, we have been benefiting from such an esteed individual until now. Thank you very much for everything until now, your highness. The middle-aged man smiled benignly.
Ether truly was not flowing through and the regular people around knew about it as well.
In that case, that damn Imperial Crown Prince obviously knew about my condition.
I barely managed to flick my chin as I worked hard to gather my scattering thoughts.
I could not continue to live in a shocked state. I needed to calmly plan for the coming days.
Did her Eminence leave anything for ?
I asked. My teacher should have been the first person in the Imperial Palace to inspect .
There was no way that she would not know about such a peculiar situation, and the Imperial family might be even more desperate than I am right now because her godson needed a priest partner.
Benjamin and Ganael both nodded their heads at my question. I had been correct.
She left behind a few books for you to read and a letter, your highness. She also said that she would co again when she has ti.
Ganael cautiously answered. I humored the harp seal on my back and solemnly clenched my teeth.
Yes, it was ti to return to my basic schedule since I have finally returned to the Imperial Palace for the first ti in a long while.
I needed to stay as a hermit in Juliette goshiwon, studying and eating hard. (TL: Goshiwon are a kind of single room occupancy class of building found in South Korea. Originally designed for students preparing to take exams, they are characterized by low rent, shared bathrooms and kitchens, and very limited private space.)
I could not let my will be broken because my superpower has disappeared.
I already made up my mind to survive and return ho no matter what it took.
*
Then it was the next day. It felt as if I returned to March when I first transmigrated into this world.
It was like that first week where I had no abilities and studied my butt off to survive.
The priest will end up dead Nope, not that one.
I received the warmth of the autumn sun as I sat out on the first floor terrace.
I heard that the weather in the Imperial Capital was pretty gentle other than the heatwave season, and it really was the case.
It was the middle of October but the air was pretty warm until the sun went down.
The wide table was full of snack plates and my teacup, with the < Biweekly Riester >, a guide to the Church of the Almighty God, and other books opened as well.
The page of my notebook where I had summarized the < Kaboom! Yves Great Adventure > fluttered up and down from the breeze.
The ssage my teacher left for was at the center of the table.
Listen to this, Tith. There are two main reasons a priest would beco unable to use their ether.
Aarf
I explained to the harp seal on my knees.
One is because their heart stops. Then the body is unable to create anymore ether. They die.
Oo
It must have been too scary of a story for the little guy as Tith moved his black eyes and nose away and flattened himself on my knees.
The red pandas, who had been biting on the lamp on one side of the table, ran over and smacked with their fluffy tails.
Outsiders didnt know about this but the divine beasts of the Empire were so ferocious and violent.
I scoffed and apologized.
Im sorry, I scared your youngest bro. I didnt do it on purpose.
Cruuu.
Ill reflect on my actions. The second is the ether disappearing because they broke a Promise of Ether. This is a similar reason to a Holy Knight.
I recalled a few facts about the Promise of Ether of a believer of the Church of the Almighty God.
They received the penalty of loss if they broke a Promise of Ether, but a priests penalty was random while a Holy Knight would only receive the divine punishnt of their power being sealed.
In reverse, a priest could be extrely unlucky and have their power sealed.
Based on what I read in the books, there were indeed cases of priests losing their ether instead of money or mories and returning to life as normal people.
However, this seed to only be the case when they broke an extrely grand Promise of Ether.
But ? Ive never broken a Promise of Ether. So this is not it either.
I crossed things out in my notebook. There was only one ti I even made a Promise of Ether.
That had already happened five months ago. On a night before the heatwave
[I swear.]
You are making a Promise of Ether.
I promised to Sadie that I have not been communicating with the Holy Kingdom and that I would continue to not do that.
I had not gone against that, so it wasnt as if my ether was sealed as a penalty.
This should be obvious, but my body did not fall under a typical case.
My eyes darted over to Cardinal Boutiers letter again.
On the day that the hole appeared in the Almighty Gods sky, I heard that you went into ether overload. I did not personally see it, so I cannot tell whether it was overload or sothing that showed similar symptoms.
Vice Captain lisabeth and Crown prince Cdric had seen that day.
The two of them do not know that the Paten of Wishes is inside my body, so it probably looked like ether overload to them.
The bleeding and fainting that followed the intense golden ether exploding out of my body made that a logical conclusion.
If that was overload, I think a temporary shock has closed off your plate.
We are considering a temporary sequelae and researching it. We are also looking into whether there were any priests who temporarily lost their powers because of ether overload.
Sequelae I petted Rhea, who was dangling on my neck, and mumbled to myself.
I was about to organize my thoughts but Perry bit my quill pen and would not let .
Demy plopped down on my notebook and didnt budge either.
Big bro is not hurting anymore. I am not overdoing it. Ill sleep with you guys in your playroom tonight. I had to console them for a long ti before I could get my stationery back.
Black letters quickly appeared on top of the white paper.
A gate to go ho has opened.
Reason 1: Because four divine items gathered together in one place and activated
Reason 2: Four divine items gathered together in one place and activated The Paten of Wishes activated
Reason 2 is probably closer to the truth.
I went through the things I saw that day fra by fra.
Ooooooong!
First, the four divine items, including Percy, released lights.
Those lights shot out like laser pointers to the center of the sky.
A weird reaction happened from a bit later after that.
Thump!
My heart loudly thumped and
Eek!
My breathing was interrupted and I felt an extrely ominous feeling.
The feeling of the whole world rejecting endlessly pressed down on my peripheral nerves.
The last thing I saw was ether bursting out of my body and shooting up into the sky.
When I snapped back to my senses, I was coughing up blood and there was already a hole in the sky. Then
Screeeech!
Sorry. Big bro held you too tightly. Does it hurt a lot? Im really sorry.
I was shocked by Rheas screeching and snapped out of my thoughts. My palms were damp.
The red panda that was tightly held by had her mouth open in shock.
I urgently apologized and patted her back, but she acted as if she was dying and went over to lie down next to Tith.
What I, this powerless temporary guardian, could do was to rub her black belly and blow air at her.
I continued to write in the notebook with my other hand.
Principles behind the opening of the gate (hypothesis): four divine items reached the sky > Sothing happens > The Paten Activates > Listens to my wish of wanting to go ho
Sounds possible? It sounds reasonable enough.
I mumbled to myself.
If these were all correct, that sothing happens section is especially important and mysterious.
The paten inside my body had been quiet all this ti.
Of course, it did provide a ton of extrely clean and pure ether and my Holy Land being larger than most Archbishops was probably related to it, but that was it.
It had never responded to my wishes or desires.
Mm. If I put all of my imagination to work
The other four divine items set up a sort of foundation. That was why the paten, which has been quiet until now, activated. But after that, no ether is coming out.
Pruuuu!
Demy and I looked at each other and tilted our heads.
Did it use up all of its powers to open the gate?
Pruu?
No That seed unlikely.
It was the patens power that gave a second chance to the dead Prince Jesse by transmigrating here and turning back ti. At least that was my thought on the matter.
If the divine item was a one ti use item, I would not have had so much ether until now. It would have just kept alive and then left all alone to fend for myself.
Furthermore, Christelle, who also has a divine item inside her body, did not lose her powers.
I chewed on a pickled orange peel as if it was a squid and scowled.
Then is it really sequelae? When will I recover?
Piruuuuu, pipipi
Percy, who finished his afternoon stroll, landed on the terrace ledge.
I was about to greet the chimney bird when I gasped.
Percy, co here. What are you holding?
I saw sothing sparkling next to his two small feet.
I was scared that he might have looted the Empress or a guest of the Imperial Palace!
Pii!
Dont turn around and bring it here. One.
Piiriii
Two.
Piruuuuu
Two and a half.
Pipo!
Percy looked at as if he knew he couldnt win, sohow managed to bite down on the golden item, and placed it in front of .
He then flapped his wings extrely discontently and landed on Tiths back.
What, are you angry and going on a drive to cool off?
What are you going to do if your beak gets into such bad habits? Hmm? Who taught you such a thing?
Piiiii
I cant call you the Jung family chimney bird if you do things like this. Im too embarrassed.
I attentively inspected the sparkling item Percy brought. This looks like so kind of emblem
The Riester Imperial family coat of arms is in the middleholy shit.
Percy Jung, you, this
I opened and closed my mouth without being able to say anything as I looked at the troublemaker looking back at with extrely innocent looking eyes.
I urgently placed the little troublemakers on the table and leaned over the ledge.
I could see a familiar silhouette on the other side of the garden.
The man must have had an event sowhere as he was wearing formal attire with a luxurious cape as he stood there with his attendant next to him.
There was an empty spot on his chest, which made it look very likely that Percy stole the emblem from there. His orange eyes made eye contact with mine.
The crown prince did not approach or even greet with his gaze.
He imdiately walked into Roro Palace as if he did not see anything.
He was completely ignoring .
I need to apologize to him.
I quietly mumbled.
I hurt that punk so I wanted to properly apologize but it seed difficult to even create an opportunity to do so right now.
*
Sending him a letter should be okay, Cdric.
lisabeth grumbled.
Eva, who was stuck next to her, looked extrely anxious.
They were not the only ones with such gloomy expressions on their faces.
Next to Cdric, who was seated at the head of the table, Christelles blue-gray eyes were sending daggers at him.
I would understand if you confined him to protect him, your Royal Highness. Her Majesty had done so when crown princess Elise had co, and his highness Is the most powerless he has ever been right now.
Her voice beca quiet.
Christelle had deeply despaired after entering the Imperial Palace despite Cardinal Boutier sending her a ssage in advance.
She could not feel the Princes warm and clear ether despite coming all the way to Roro Palace, which was right beside Juliette.
There wasnt even a trace of it, as if it was so terrible trick or a magic spell.
Her instincts as a Holy Knight naturally made her frustrated and sad.
However, that was that and this was this.
Prince Jesse was her partner, but more importantly, he was her friend.
But I dont understand why you are preventing us from sending him letters and presents, your Royal Highness. Why are you going so far?
There is no need for to explain the will of the Imperial family.
The crown prince growled.
His ether then viciously threatened and tried to suppress Christelle.
Share barely managed to hold back against his fiery provocation and scowled. Sothing was weird.
The crown prince was clearly overreacting, and this was not like him.
Even if he has not received Prince Jesses ether for half a month
Sothing must have happened that day, didnt it, your Royal Highness?
Christelle tilted her head and inspected the crown princes face.
She too had seen sothing when she regained consciousness for a mont in the middle.
However, she could not tell whether she really did see it or if she had just imagined it. That was why she was more concerned about it.
Her throat felt dry and it made her nervous.
She was curious whether her partner and her partners partner had also seen what she had seen.
Had they also seen the veranda of a house that looked like it was in Korea through that black hole?
Translators Comnts
Ohhhh so Chris saw it too.
