Of course, believing that she could handle Jurgen might be a huge misconception. He was like an iron fortress that Vanessa could neither easily approach nor get close to. And that wasn't all. Though he looked perfectly normal now, he was a bloody avenger, madness incarnate. For Vanessa, who had directly witnessed his resentment and madness, even recalling that time made her shudder. "Why are you suddenly shivering? Are you cold?" "Huh? Oh, a little..." At Vanessa's response, Jurgen clicked his…-

"...What?" It was natural for Jurgen to question back with a bewildered tone. He wasn't sure whether to laugh it off dismissively or get angry. That's how absurd it felt. What was certain was the intense urge to immediately capture this woman before him and lock her up in the castle. To keep her always within his grasp, within his sight, so she wouldn't recklessly get herself ruined… "......" Jurgen ran his palm over his face, habitually suppressing his wildly surging emotions. It…

Garcia, who had been silently watching Vanessa struggle, said in a tone of disbelief, "You have the strength of a fawn. Really, how do you expect to help out at the clinic like this?" "No... I'm not that weak. This wooden tub is just too heavy." "Yes, yes, I'm sure that's it." Vanessa felt truly wronged. It was just that there were so many monstrous humans in this northern region, but for someone like Vanessa, she had above-average strength. She retorted with a slightly choked voice, "I…

Vanessa used the divine word on other patients in the ward as well, including the old man who had called her a demon. When all the patients, including the old man, looked at her with completely changed eyes, Vanessa inevitably felt bitter. If I didn't have God's blessing, I might have been accused of being a witch who brought the plague. I'm truly grateful to Vinea for giving me this blessing to prevent such a thing from happening, but… 'I can't help feeling gloomy.' Vanessa swallowed a sigh…

The nurses who quickly subdued the old man glanced this way with bewildered expressions. Jurgen had a terrifyingly stern look, and Vanessa couldn't even manage an awkward smile, just standing there blankly. A complicated and gloomy feeling filled her chest, making it hard to breathe. 'It's not like this is the first time.' The words about being an ominous woman, the accusations blaming everything on her, the looks mixed with contempt and fear. She had experienced so much of it until…

"Hey, Jenelly, are you crazy? What are you doing?" Garcia suddenly interrupted, grabbing Jenelly by the scruff of her neck and pulling her away from Jurgen. Jenelly, dangling from Garcia's grip, stomped her feet and threw a tantrum. "Sir Garcia! What do you think you're doing! Put me down this instant!" However, Garcia only lifted her higher while sneering. "Even if you're out of touch with the world from being cooped up in your tower, how could you not recognize the face of our future…

"I want to help people." At this, Jurgen showed an unexpectedly visible reaction. Momentarily taken aback, Vanessa was inwardly surprised at his unusual response. Though he usually appeared to be made of iron, unmoved by anything, there were times when he showed such unexpected sides. That small tremor might have stemmed from their past, which he had left as a mystery. Vanessa truly felt regretful that she couldn't remember anything. "...You want to help? How do you plan to do…

Indeed, the food was far superior compared to their previous lodgings. Though Vanessa had no appetite when ordering, she was amazed by the taste of the chicken and bean stew that was served shortly after. She then devoured her portion of the meal in an instant. The speed at which she ate could have made one wonder if she was possessed by a goblin. Later, she learned that the innkeeper, who was also the chef, had worked as a cook for a noble family in the north for ten years. This explained the…

Jurgen, who had just woken up, was in a somewhat dazed state. Vanessa was startled and froze at the sudden attack, but soon calmed herself and spoke. "Duke." "......" "Jurgen." He remained silent when called 'Duke', but when called by his name, he reacted with a subtle change in expression. He still seemed intoxicated with sleep, but... As this was the first time she had seen him in such a defenseless state, Vanessa's heart inexplicably raced. She wondered if perhaps now she could resolve…

The morning of the day she was leaving the Imperial City. Vanessa boarded the carriage, taking only Agnes' letter from the mountain of correspondence that had arrived for her. The nobles of the empire had sent letters to Vanessa because it had become known that she was a ‘Blessed One’. It was utterly disgusting how people who had been spreading nasty rumors about her until yesterday changed their attitude. Vanessa let out a faint sneer and opened Agnes' letter. To summarize, it expressed a…
