Chapter 236

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

 

“Your Highness! Welcome!”

 

“Grand Duchess Frazier is also welcome. Please feel free to look around.”

 

My goodness.

 

I really entered this place.

 

This is none other than the heart of the Grand Temple. The deepest part of the Temple of Light.

 

The official name was the Corridor of Sacred Night, wasn’t it?

 

‘Even Emperor Alessandro can’t easily enter this place, yet Ferdinand just walks in with a single word.’

 

Even the haughty high priests were clinging to Ferdinand, busy worrying about his health.

 

“Your Highness the Crown Prince. To visit us again like this… How is your health? We are very worried.”

 

“How long will you be staying? Please stay long and rest well.”

 

“Well, Your Highness is a very busy person… Still, we’re truly happy that you came to visit us. Your Highness.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

But Ferdinand himself just responded briefly with an indifferent expression and kept walking steadily.

 

‘Is that not it?’

 

To my ears, Ferdinand’s answers were utterly insincere, but the high priests just had bright faces.

 

So in other words.

 

‘He usually doesn’t even give answers like that.’

 

There’s only one reason I can guess for why Ferdinand is unusually responding to the high priests now.

 

‘Because I said my wish was to see inside this place.’

 

I said I wanted to see a ‘sacred relic’ as my coming-of-age gift.

 

The official name in this world is…

 

‘Han Ina.’

 

That very fake poop star that had verified Coriko as the true saint.

 

The Corridor of Sacred Night where the fake poop star was enshrined was very spacious. Moreover, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

 

The walls, floor, and even the ceiling were all pure white marble.

 

As if the stars of the sky had been drawn down with nets and preserved, each step I took made my heart flutter with profound sparkles.

 

Angels carved in relief on each pillar were blowing crystal trumpets, and the feathers carved on their wings were so vivid that each one was intricately detailed.

 

It was so beautiful that I fell into a dreamy suspicion that real angels had descended and made their nests in the marble.

 

This vast space itself seemed exactly like the divine realm that embraces infinite stars. So sacred that no evil could dare invade it.

 

And in the center of it all.

 

Han Ina was there.

 

Han Ina placed gracefully in a precious box on a sparkling altar that was undoubtedly made of pure silver…

 

‘This feels disgusting.’

 

I should just call it the fake poop star.

 

I stopped at an appropriate distance like a noble admiring the sacred relic of the century, and quietly gazed at the fake poop star.

 

‘I’m certain.’

 

It was truly amazingly identical in appearance to the original Kim Ddongbyeol. Even down to the very finest details.

 

Looking at that eerie foreign substance with the name Han Ina, which was frighteningly identical to Kim Ddongbyeol, I checked my thoughts one by one.

 

 

 

First. Coriko is wearing the mask of Han Ina.

 

Second. The reason is to kill me and become me.

 

Third. That fake poop star, which is like an early version of Kim Ddongbyeol, is for Coriko.

 

 

 

So the conclusion I can deduce is.

 

‘I just need to get rid of that thing!’

 

But how do I get rid of it? Should I smash it here?

 

This is truly the heart of the Grand Temple. Above all, since such a precious sacred relic is stored here, even Ferdinand had to undergo a light belongings inspection.

 

So what about me? A same-gender priest came and even gave me a light pat-down inspection.

 

Even that was only because of Ferdinand’s cold gaze – if just any noble had luckily visited, they probably would have stripped them naked to check before letting them in.

 

In other words, there was absolutely no way I could secretly bring in a hammer or something.

 

“Grand Duchess. You seem very interested in the sacred relic.”

 

Then, one of the high priests spoke to me. It was just for a moment, but I saw it. It was clearly a wary expression.

 

I smiled and answered.

 

“My cousin became a saint, you know. In a way, I think the saint and that sacred relic are connected, so I find myself staring at it with reverence.”

 

When I brought up Coriko, the high priest smiled slightly.

 

“Many nobles want to see this sacred relic in person. It seems Grand Duchess has received good fortune.”

 

“His Highness is only kind to me.”

 

“…!”

 

At my meaningful addition, the high priest’s eyes changed slightly. I had said it hoping our relationship would sound ambiguous.

 

“Ahem… Grand Duchess. If there’s anything uncomfortable, please feel free to tell us anytime.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

As I intended, the high priest’s behavior became much more cautious. I smiled and turned my head.

 

‘Does this high priest also know? That the temple is kidnapping children.’

 

Whether he knows or not, everything said today will be reported to the high priests.

 

‘And the high priests definitely know about using children as sacrifices.’

 

The top leadership couldn’t possibly be unaware.

 

‘Then that means they’re connected to Coriko from that level.’

 

I smiled wickedly inside.

 

‘You guys, try getting screwed over.’

 

I came wearing a very glamorous dress today. Of course, I didn’t forget to wrap a layer of white lace around it to express sanctity befitting the dignity of the Grand Temple.

 

The purpose was just one.

 

‘The fake poop star.’

 

I’ll definitely steal it and go back.

 

Despite my wicked thoughts, I observed the surroundings with a gentle smile.

 

‘Since the entrance security is thorough, the interior isn’t actually that strict.’

 

Well, wasn’t it the same in my previous life?

 

Even the masterpiece Mona Lisa didn’t originally have such tight security, but after it was stolen once, a double, triple, quadruple thorough security system was established.

 

It seems to be the same everywhere.

 

Closing the barn door after the horse is stolen.

 

This saying is not just a truth of all times and places, but a truth that transcends dimensions.

 

‘The Mona Lisa was recovered, right? But the fake poop star won’t be coming back.’

 

Because I’m going to steal it and go back, and whether I have to dig through all the ancient books in the world or shovel out the flames of hell to save it, I’ll definitely destroy that thing!

 

‘It would be really nice if a Quest appeared.’

 

Actually, I kept waiting for a related Quest to appear…

 

‘But none are appearing.’

 

Thinking about it, Quests made my life too difficult but also served as a kind of guide.

 

But now that damn Quest isn’t appearing for such an important matter, so I’m actually a bit anxious.

 

‘But what can I do? I have to do it.’

 

Near my right waist. Right here, a fake of the fake poop star was hidden.

 

Then what about near my left waist?

 

Another fake of the fake poop star was hidden there too. But if you looked closely at this one, you could feel that the details were different.

 

In other words, what I’m going to switch is this very ornament hanging near my right waist.

 

‘If you’re a wealthy noble, you can decorate endlessly without limit. This is the first time I’ve felt grateful for that.’

 

Though I say they’re hidden, these Fake Fake Ddong Stars were swaying beneath the pure white lace, just like the other ornaments I wore today.

 

It was a visual that no one would suspect.

 

‘I suppose I could say Coriko helped with this.’

 

Thanks to her becoming a saint, a new trend spread across the continent.

 

 

 

“Lisian oppa.”

 

“Yeah. Tulia.”

 

“I heard it’s trendy these days for people to make Coriko’s sacred artifact ‘Han Ina’ into decorative totems and carry them around.”

 

 

 

Lisian’s eyes, shining like spring water, turned toward me.

 

 

 

“I want to make a few too.”

 

“Let’s do that.”

 

“But I need to make just one secretly, is that okay?”

 

 

 

Lisian’s smile deepened as he gazed at me.

 

 

 

“Of course… If my younger sibling… wants it.”

 

 

 

The Secret Fake Fake Ddong Star completed that way. Even while bringing it here, I worried about what to do if the shape was different.

 

‘My memory isn’t wrong.’

 

When placed together, they were identical enough that you absolutely couldn’t distinguish between them.

 

That’s proof of how much I stared at Kim Ddongbyeol from the very first day…

 

I couldn’t delay any longer. I immediately activated my benefit, ‘Super Lotto’!

 

Maximum luck!

 

Perhaps even Ferdinand’s luck too!

 

As soon as the benefit activated, all eyes simultaneously turned elsewhere as if on cue.

 

I quickly switched what was in my hand with ‘Han Ina’.

 

Cold sweat broke out on my back, but at that very moment when I felt the thrill of success.

 

 

 

[System] Let

 

[System] Me

 

[System] Let me go

 

 

 

“…!”

 

Like a computer screen with errors, letters instantly filled my vision completely.

 

 

 

[System] Let [System] Me [System] Let me go [System] Let [System] Me [System] Let me go [System] Let [System] Me [System] Let me go [System] Let [System] Me [System] Let me go [System] Let [System] Me [System] Let me go

 

 

 

.

 

.

 

.

 

 

 

[System] Let me go instead.

 

 

 

In an instant, my vision flickered.
