I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Fortunately, Aria and Ailt did not offer to send me escorts any longer. Perhaps my dissuasion had worked, and they left, hoping for another opportunity.
Although we had disagreed until the end, it was not a major issue.
I sighed softly and carefully picked the flowers in my arms.
‘I have to take them home!’
There was a mountain of flowers, enough to create a flower garden.
Still, I was warmed by their genuine concern for me.
I wanted to preserve them with magic so that I could look at them for the rest of my life.
Knock, knock-
As I was immersed in my appreciation, inhaling the fragrance of the flowers, a polite knock sounded.
“May I come in?”
It was the familiar, gentle voice of Noctis.
“Come in.”
At my words, Noctis opened the door and entered the room.
“It’s been a while, Miss Rosette.”
Noctis was still smiling, but it felt a little awkward, unlike usual.
‘Is he tired?’
He said he had healed me with divine power while I was unconscious, so I thought it was because he had overexerted himself.
Divine power was not unlimited, and he said that if a certain amount of divine power was consumed, one would feel fatigued.
If he was mentally exhausted, it was only natural that it would show in his expression.
Feeling unnecessarily sorry, I greeted him with a bright smile.
“Ah, Sir Noctis. Hello.”
“It’s good to see you after a long time. Are you feeling well?”
“Yes. I heard that Sir Noctis healed me with divine power. Thank you.”
As I bowed my head, Noctis shook his head as if it were nothing.
“I wasn’t much help. Miss Rosette has such a fast recovery rate.”
Noctis continued with a smile.
“It seems you have awakened divine power because of this incident.”
I know that too. I remember the feeling of divine power flowing through my hand.
The problem is that no matter how hard I concentrate, the divine power doesn’t move as I want it to.
“Um… but the divine power doesn’t come out like it did then.”
I had tried hard earlier, but all I could do was wave my hand in the air.
“May I check your divine power once?”
“Yes, please.”
Noctis carefully took my hand and closed his eyes.
Whoosh-
After a moment, divine power slowly entered my body, and a refreshing energy swirled inside me.
However, unlike before, the refreshing energy did not disappear like magic.
Clearly, the divine power was continuously entering my body, shining brightly, but I couldn’t understand why.
“How is it?”
At my words, Noctis’ golden eyes fluttered slightly.
“There’s no doubt that you’ve awakened divine power, but this is… rather strange.”
“Strange?”
“You know that divine power is awakened when one receives the grace of the god Moreus, right?”
Of course I knew. Divine power was like a calling from God.
“However, some people are born with a lot of divine power, while others have less.”
“Yes, that’s why you said I have a lot of divine power in me.”
“That’s right. But… Miss Rosette’s divine power is a little different.”
“What do you mean?”
“…It feels a little more pure. Like the energy I felt when I received the god Moreus.”
I thought that all divine power was the same, but it seemed that there were subtle differences.
“So, you’re saying I’m a special case?”
“I’m not sure, as this has never happened before… but it seems so.”
Noctis, who had blurred the end of his sentence, rarely showed a bewildered expression.
There was no reason for the high priest of the Grand Temple to lie, so it seemed that I had indeed awakened pure divine power.
In addition to awakening divine power, I now have a special constitution.
‘There’s also the divine beast.’
I don’t know why special things keep happening to me when I’m just trying to enjoy my single life. If I really do receive God, I have a lot to ask about this and that.
“So, is my inability to use divine power related to that? I’m concentrating, but there’s no response.”
“Well…”
As Noctis was about to open his mouth, the door suddenly burst open with a loud cry.
“Whap!”
Noctis’ and my gaze turned to the door.
Mary was awkwardly smiling, holding Snow in her arms, and Kiris was leaning against the doorframe with a frown.
“Miss. Snow suddenly wanted to see you…”
Snow quickly slipped out of Mary’s arms and ran over, its fur fluttering.
And then.
[Mistress!]
A strange voice echoed in my ears like thunder.
