Chapter 3. The Enchanted Cloth
I stayed at the banquet hall for another hour.
And in that one hour, I was pretty busy.
Because the people of the banquet hall came in twos or threes and gossiped with me nonstop.
All the contents were just the same. They either ask if ‘are you okay?’ or ‘I’m glad nothing bad happened’.
That’s the fact that Kami’s young man is crazy, he’ll be punished a lot, he’s such a disgrace man who’ll be talking blah blah, nasty stuff, everywhere.
In the middle, the question ‘are you okay?’ was also directed to Ari.
And in the meantime, Sir Davery was on the lookout like a steel barrel.
How ironic he was, that throughout the time when the ladies and the wives had been talking to me in a row, and no matter how old they were, the men couldn’t even let them get close to me.
“……do you need to go this far?”
It was a question I threw when even a little boy, who barely reached my waist, came to greet me, failed, and went back holding his mother’s hand.
Sir Davery’s answer was simple.
“It’s an order.”
“…..”
Oh, Ash was the problem here.
Soon, I had spent so much time that it was around eight o’clock, I thought it was past dinner time, so I left the banquet hall and separated with Ari.
The way back to the room was busy.
In fact, I’ve only had one thought in my head since a while ago. I couldn’t even hear what people were saying at the banquet.
As soon as I arrived in the room, the first thing I did was to take out the “Spring of the Goddess Agrita” book and unfold it.
flap flap—
The hands that turned the pages were diligent.
Soon the touch stopped.
‘Found it.’
I mentioned earlier that there are a total of three Gods in the world.
The God of time, the God of love, the God of destruction.
Among them, a temple devoted to the god of time prepared beads to turn back the time as a gift for the goddess.
And in the temple where the god of love was honoured, they prepared a gift for the goddess, which is…….
“The Enchanted Cloth.”
It was this.
I slowly glanced with my eyes, searching for a passage that explained as the Divine Priest handed Agrita the enchanted cloth.
-The Goddess should not be hated by others, she should be loved by everyone. This is a present we prepared for her.
-This is… …
-It’s enchanted cloth. If you wear this, everyone who sees the goddess will have more than a crush on her.
In the same sex, in the opposite sex, in love, in the friendship between family and friends will deepen.
Yes. The enchanted cloth, as its name implies, had the effect of enchanting others.
Just by wearing the cloth, the opponent will feel unconditional favour and affection for the person.
Indeed, it could be said to be a treasure that suited the temple dedicated to the god of love.
I thought as I stared at the book.
‘I can just steal this.’
I thought about how I could implant Ash’s interest and favour for Ari, who seems to recognize Ari as the other one around me.
There was an answer to this difficult problem that seems vague. This is it.
The enchanted cloth, it was possible if I stole it and used it.
Why did I not come up with this fact like a fool?
‘……no, it was worth forgetting.’
I turned the pages of the book one by one.
In fact, the explanation of “the enchanted cloth” in the book was quite poor.
At first, Agrita did not use the enchanting cloth. Because there was no reason to use it.
Even if she stayed still, she was the main character, so male lead, villain, and everyone loved her. There were some jealous people, but they were motivated by her good heart and eventually fell in love with her.
Without the help of Gods, Agrita was loved by all people anyway.
Therefore, the enchanted cloth had great efficacy, but it was a treasure that was not very useful to the owner.
And more important fact.
The enchanted cloth is quickly destroyed as soon as it is settled in the book.
This is because the male lead of the book, Agrita’s lover, the Crown Prince, realizes the existence of the cloth and burns it up as if it was a mistake.
The crown prince, described as the incarnation of jealousy – was the emperor at this time – had no qualms about getting rid of the precious gifts that the temple had made over the years in a single day.
In this regard, this Prince also resembles Ash.
Anyway, except for the special effects, the enchanted cloth, which was just a cloth, turned into a handful of ashes and easily disappeared from the world.
To be honest, when I first read this passage, I couldn’t help but wonder why the enchanted cloth was introduced.
Was it just an assortment? If you prepare a gift alone in a shrine dedicated to the god of time, it will be out of balance somewhere or what?
For your information, the temple dedicated to the God of Destruction does not prepare gifts for the goddess.
As the name of God of Destruction, Moses had nothing to give to her no matter what he tried.
He didn’t have to give her a weapon that would increase her destructive power.
Instead, the sword and shield containing the power of destruction are delivered to the crown prince, who is the lover of the goddess.
‘Anyway.’
I closed the book.
I put the books back in the bookshelf and thought again about what I had to do.
Everything.
Steal the enchanted cloth.
And pass it on to Ari.
It may seem simple in word, but it wasn’t really that simple.
‘But I stole the beads.’
I recalled the past when I succeeded in stealing beads that turned back time.
Yeah, I can do it the way I did then. If it’s a temple, it’ll all have the same structure. The way the treasure was hidden is probably the same.
‘God, please let me be a successful thief again.’
I held my hands together and prayed eagerly.
Not just a theft like any angel girl, but it’s still a theft to live, so I hope you take it into account.
I spent a night in which my heart throbbed with self-conscience, hoping for success from God, as I planned to steal the treasure of the temple.
***
As soon as it was dawn, I sent a request for a visit to the temple, expressing my intention to donate.
Though at heart I wanted to start right away to steal the cloth of fascination, the deity of love was not a place to visit so bluntly.
Pre-requests and permits are mandatory, and even the permits have not been granted without a certain amount of donations.
‘Are they doing business?’
They were so obvious about that. It wasn’t like that when I visited the temple of time.
It can’t be helped that it’s their rule anyway. I spent my own money on a pretty large donation.
I’m sure the answer will arrive soon.
The butler wondered a little, helping to send out the request.
“Are you going to visit the temple?”
“Yes, well.”
“What brings you there, lady? Didn’t you hate the temple?”
I was a little embarrassed by the butler’s question.
It’s all because of my past that the butler asks like that. Because once I was angry and shouted with all my heart that God must have died.
It was a time of storm. As the storm arrived when I was particularly upset about my miserable fate, including my previous life.
I smiled awkwardly and opened my mouth.
“It’s not that I hate it…..”
Come to think of it, it was all thanks to my social status that I was not taken to the temple for contempt. Thank you so much for my social status.
“A temple dedicated to the god of love. God of love, it’s romantic, isn’t it?”
“One day a selfish God who only loves himself must be a narcissist…”
“Stop. Forget about the past.”
The butler shut his mouth and buried the ‘old days’ talks.
After that, I had lunch with Ari at lunchtime.
For your information, Ari had a crisis this morning as well. The frame hanging on the wall suddenly fell on her head.
It was Sir Davery who saved Ari at that time. He was able to avoid the frame by pulling Ari’s arm in good timing.
If I were Sir Davery’s employer, I’d certainly give him a bonus.
I thought of it in the morning and now.
“……are you usually this unlucky?”
Reclaiming the sword with his waistband, Sir Davery asked in a voice of bewilderment.
At one time, a snake with a colourful body separated from its head and body was lying around.
That snake suddenly appeared at the dining room during a meal, secretly approached, endangering Ari’s ankle, and was caught by Sir Davery, and died.
I opened my mouth calmly.
“I saw a fortune teller and he said this year was a particularly bad year. Right, Ari?”
“That’s right.”
Ari eagerly responded to the made-up excuse. Sir Davery nodded, worrying as if he should be careful.
I looked down at the body of a cold snake and asked a sudden question.
“But Sir, I have a question.”
“Yes?”
“You just caught a snake. Would other people be able to do enough like you?”
The reason I was curious about this was that the snake materialized really discreetly.
There was no sound, no sign, and I didn’t even know it existed until it was carved into Sir Davery’s sword.
It was the same for Ari, so she didn’t know anything and focused only on her meal, but later saw the snake who had already died, and she looked like, “Heok, what is this?”
Sir Davery was the only one who discovered the snake in advance.
He answered.
“No.”
“No?”
“To be honest with you, I caught it because it was me. Normally, other people would have pulled its sword out after the snake bit its target.”
“You mean then Sir Davery is not like ordinary people.”
“Surely speaking.”
His words went on like a joke.
“I’m Davery Sack after all.”
At first glance, it sounded like a joke, but it was actually a true fact.
Sir Davery’s handling of the sword was picked within the talented Widgreen family.
It was also said that he would have entered the palace and served as the head of a small group of knights if he had supporter for him, although he had once become the reception of the servants.
Well, Ash is the one who acquired him after recognizing his value first, regardless of everything else.
Needless to say more about his skills.
Anyway, that’s what Sir Davery did, and he was able to catch a snake.
I got a little serious.
‘No, who’s gonna save Ari when he’s not there?’
The fact that it is not that easy to save Ari means that it cannot be safe for anyone to put as her escort.
I brought him as an escort knight at best, but what’s the point if I can’t save Ari and let him die because he is not good enough?
‘There’s not much of a man with great skill like Sir Davery.’
I thought it was a headache, but the accident suddenly went crazy.
‘No, is she going to take care of this anyway?’
Oh, yes. As long as Ash likes Ari, he’ll be fully responsible for Ari’s safety after that.
From then on, these were not my tasks anymore.
‘Yes. I’ll just be thinking about how to steal the cloth.’
That’s when the dining room’s door burst open.
There was a middle-aged man crying in his eyes among those rushing in to see if they had heard from him.
“Floraaaa!”
“…..”
Immediately he knelt before the dead snake, screaming.
