Chapter 190 – The Love Potion
#190.
At that time, everyone else in the party was in their own situation.
“Chorin, actually, I don’t love Ha-yeon and Priscilla at all. Hirencia is just trying to take care of the guilt. The only person I love is you.”
“Go, Mr. Gaon…”
Cho-rin, who is a little taken aback by the whispered words as if the present moment for the two of them is an opportunity, but presses down on her beating heart.
“Our Hayeon is pretty. You know I love you, right?”
Hee hee! I’m a master…”
Ha-yeon frolics in Ga-on’s arms.
And,
“I’m angry after a long time.”
Gaon faced Hirencia, whose usual brilliant white hair and bright amber eyes had turned gray and died.
He looked at Hirencia, who had been in his previous life just before he died, and tried to calm the blazing heat in her heart.
Gaon noticed at once.
That this would be nothing more than an illusion of divine magic.
But knowing it doesn’t mean it’s okay.
If he relaxed even a little, his body, which was shaking from the agitation, might be consumed by anger and smash the temple at random.
If that happens, the purpose of coming here cannot be fulfilled.
However, at the continued words of welcome, the hot inside of my heart cooled down at once.
“It is because of you. All I died because of you!”
“…”
“I could have lived without you! You traitor!”
It was all right.
Without him, Hirencia might be a little lonely, but she would have grown up step by step and eventually inherited the title of duke, met a good man, had a successor, and lived happily ever after.
Although it was a welcome, the words he shouted with the same face and voice as Hirencia pushed the thorn in Gaon’s chest even deeper.
To leave a scar that will never be erased even if forgiven.
Gaon felt the strength drain from his tightly clenched fist.
I wanted to go on a rampage and destroy this temple right now, but even if it was a fake, I couldn’t move hastily because I was afraid that Hirencia would get involved in it, or hurt it again.
“You cheated on me. Thanks I lost it all It’s because of you that my life is ruined!”
“…”
“I can’t forgive you. Never!”
Hirencia continued to spit out her resentful words after that.
To be honest, Gaon thought that this illusion of Hirencia would draw his sword and attack, saying he would seek revenge, but strangely, it showed no signs of doing so.
Perhaps, since it is a temple dedicated to the goddess of love, it is possible that it is a welcome for some other purpose rather than simply a threat to one’s life.
If this hypothesis is correct, you can worry a little less about the rest of the party.
‘Of course, I can’t be completely relieved.’
There is no immediate threat, so I think it’s better to wait and see.
Even though they are clearly aware of the fact that it is an illusion, the fact that they cannot escape means that they need to act separately.
Gaon faced the illusion of Hirencia, hoping that Jaehee would destroy the magic.
***
“Woah, what are you talking about? Gaon has other people.”
“It was. But this time I realized. The one I truly love is Jaehee.”
Gaon lowered his head and tried to kiss his lips as if he had enough of his words.
Jaehee was so confused right now.
Her talent for magic is truly amazing. As such, her pride in herself was stronger than anyone else.
So helpless was she that she was oblivious to nothing and was not sure that she was possessed by her visions.
The identity of genius genius genius who is not the pitiful genius on earth, but the immediate disciple of Reinkel Heinrich, is not to accept that assumption.
As she watched Gaon’s approaching face, her eyes were shaking as if an earthquake had struck.
Her heart also beats violently, sending blood throughout her body, making her body run hot.
She didn’t know what to say and just pursed her lips before biting her lip.
“But it wasn’t like that when we first met. Why did you come now?”
“Because at that time I hadn’t fully realized my feelings yet.”
“… Isn’t it because of the face? Because it wasn’t so beautiful back then. Isn’t it because Chorin is much prettier than me?”
With her union, there is as much difference as heaven and earth between her when she just transitioned and her now.
Many aspects such as the level of magic and personality, but above all, the biggest change occurred in appearance.
Of course, she can’t help but think that Gaon’s sudden change in attitude must have played a big role in her appearance.
Gaon didn’t answer, and Jaehee was disappointed.
It was questionable whether it was possible to be disappointed with the subject who was deceiving others by covering her face with her welcome, but it was also something she could not help because she thought that Gaon would only look at people themselves without being bound by her appearance. .
Soon, Gaon moved again.
Their lips drew closer, and now his entire field of vision was filled with his face.
If you just accept it as it is, you can become a lover with Gaon.
But is that really right? Is it possible to live like this, covering up the truth and just looking at what looks good?
Jaehee, who continued her worries, came to a conclusion and immediately pushed Gaon away.
Widely!
“Miss Jaehee… ?”
“It can’t be like this either. I cannot accept this.”
“Why?”
“… I want sincerity. It’s not a relationship that’s only decorated on the outside like it is now.”
She stepped back from her, distanced herself from Gaon, took a deep breath, then carefully raised her hand and scanned her face.
At the same time, the illusion covering her face peeled away, revealing her bare face.
“How about this? Can you really love me like this?”
“…”
Looking at Jaehee’s appearance objectively, it’s absolutely not that she’s ugly.
Even with a round bone metamorphosis, her skin improved and her features became clearer, overcoming the disadvantages of blurring her presence.
She deserved some of her confidence, but she was never satisfied with herself.
Because the lovers by Gaon’s side weren’t just beautiful, they were unparalleled beauty throughout Union.
Jaehee, who couldn’t bear to face how Gaon would react after seeing her real face, hung her head and waited for her answer.
An awkward silence fell.
The sound of footsteps reached Jaehee’s ears as her face began to grow pale with nervousness as time passed.
Thud- thud-
I feel a presence right in front of me.
I waited nervously for an answer, but a hand was placed on my head.
– Passed.
Jaehee’s eyes widened.
What was in front of her was not Gaon, but a beautiful woman with blonde hair.
A brilliant halo shines behind her back, adding even more beauty to the formidable beauty that even feels absolute.
Jae-hee, who had learned for the first time in her life what it was like to be overwhelmed by her looks, stood still as the woman introduced herself.
-… I am the goddess of love Adriana. Love is caring for each other. Growing together is what makes love so great. Your courage is very well seen. May blessings be with you on the road ahead.
What was left here now was nothing more than the dregs of the thought that remained after the main body had completely disappeared.
Adriana, who left short words, was reconciled with a handful of mana and scattered in all directions.
The illusion went away with her, and Jaehee could see the door again that had collapsed and been blocked earlier.
“Ha…”
A sigh escaped from her mouth.
She thought that would be the case, but when she confirmed that Gaon’s confession was nothing more than an illusion, she couldn’t help but lose her strength.
Gaon approached her immediately.
“Jaehee, thank you for your hard work.”
“Ah, Gaon. And also Chorin and Hayeon. I’m glad everyone is safe.”
She turned right behind her to check on her safe and smiled, but the group’s gaze swept all over her face.
With that kind of reaction, she belatedly recognized that she was now revealing her bare face, so she hurriedly turned her back and covered her vision.
‘You stupid idiot!’
She blamed herself for showing her true self through a ridiculous mistake and wrapped her head in pain, when Gaon’s voice was heard.
“I don’t think there is a need for a welcome.”
“… Yes?”
“I think I’ll be the same as I am now even with makeup.”
“… Don’t lie. It can’t be done with makeup. It is not enough to say that this appearance of me is a transformation.”
I am grateful for Gaon’s words, but there’s no way I can follow the illusion magic to the extent of makeup.
Though Jaehee thought so and denied it, Gaon answered without concern at all.
“Isn’t it said that a woman’s transformation is innocent? There is no difference between makeup and illusion magic.”
“… Because it is different.”
“I can’t help it if you think so.”
“Go faster than that. Perhaps there is a love potion ahead of you.”
Jaehee quickly turned her back on Gaon.
The indifferent yet warm words of comfort penetrated deep into her heart.
I was grateful for that consideration, but I hated it.
Barely, if I managed to somehow manage her heart and build up a barrier, I would break it down and come inside as if nothing was wrong.
She reminds me of Chorin and reminds me that I shouldn’t have her, but now that she’s here, she just lingers around empty-handedly and doesn’t have any influence.
Rather, only the shameless echo of what it was like pops out from the depths of the heart.
‘I can’t…’
Her feelings, now fully defined by her, she closed her eyes and reached out her hand to shove her door open.
There was an altar inside, and on it was placed a potion that glowed pink.
The party who arrived right in front of them hurriedly exclaimed.
“And! Master, this is so pretty!”
“How amazing. I definitely feel a completely different power from the Healing Church.”
“Yes, because the goddess of love must have had her own special powers. Fortunately, nothing is wrong. Jaehee, thank you. Thanks to her, she was able to get there safely.”
“… No. You’re welcome. Rather, come back soon. It’s a little frustrating.”
“All right. Let’s go.”
Unfortunately, there were no valuable items except for the love potion in the temple.
Except for the love potion imbued with power, all the items were in a grotesque state with half-shattered shapes, so they left the temple without any regrets.
Now it was his turn to meet the Fallen Knight.
