The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 98.1

Chapter 98.1

“Are you saying I did this on purpose to kill someone? Why are you doing this!”

“…”

“If I really wanted to kill someone, I wouldn’t do it this way! I would grab a sword…!”

“Be quiet. What the hell are you trying to say!”

“Now the Priest has come too!”

Sir Vieira finally expressed his anger, but his attitude did not help the current situation at all.

He, who had participated in the hunting competition and was trying to get engaged to Yuria again, was rebuked harshly.

“U-ugh…”

The priest, who had come on a fast horse, breathed out harshly as if his motion sickness was severe.

However, he immediately checked on the sick people.

His face was full of tension because he thought it would be too late, but… it didn’t take long for his tense shoulders to loosen up.

“Did you say they might have consumed poison from a mountain toxic bird?”

“Y-yes. That’s correct.”

But the priest tilted his head.

“I’ve seen a lot of people collapsing after eating toxic bird meat by mistake. But these people don’t seem to need my healing powers… Rather, they’re very healthy.”

“How are they healthy? Everyone here has fallen one after the other!”

“Hm. Maybe it was just abdominal pain and there was a misunderstanding…”

“No, that wasn’t it. They were in such horrible pain that we were so worried they were going to die soon… But they’re now like this because Lady Lilika Primrose cured them!”

Although he had regained some of his composure, the priest looked exhausted from riding the horse.

However, his eyes shone brightly when he heard the story about Lilika.

“What do you mean they were cured? I’d like to hear exactly what happened.”

“Lady Lilika’s body shone! Just like when the priests use their divine power!”

“She healed the people in an instant?”

“Yes, exactly. Just like in a legend.”

“That is something difficult to do even with divine power… Did Lady Primrose really do it?”

The priest soon fell into thought after hearing the details of what happened.

“No matter how earnest you are, it’s not common to manifest divine power… In this case, the power of blessing that descends upon the duchy of Primrose may have been manifested through healing.”

In any case, the priest took a closer look at the patients and watched how their condition improved.

He even used more of his divine power just in case, but there was no major change. It was as if divine power was not needed from the beginning.

“Look at that. Lady Primrose has already healed them, right?”

The light emanating from the priest’s hand was weaker than the one coming from Lilika’s body earlier. There was no such thing as the dignity that overwhelmed the crowd.

The nobles who had been treated by the priests several times before realized how magnificent Lilika’s power was, though they couldn’t say anything because the priest was right in front of them.

“In any case, I’m sure they’re healthy, so don’t worry. I will definitely go back and report the story of Lady Lilika Primrose to the Head Priest!”

Once it was confirmed that everyone had recovered safely, Yuria’s worried mind gradually moved to a different thought.

‘The power of blessing has been manifested through healing?’

Yuria finally remembered something when she heard those words.

‘… I thought it was a relief earlier, but it’s certainly strange that Lilika awakened at this point.’

In the novel “Please Love the Poor Princess!”, it certainly didn’t happen at this point.

The hunting competition didn’t even happen in the first place.

The Primrose duchy’s hunting competition, where people suddenly collapsed and were in a precarious situation for some unknown reason…

And the duke’s daughter, Lilika, had saved them.

‘It’s too dramatic and coincidental.’

In any case, Yuria tried to tell Lilika that she had done a good job, but she failed.

Lilika, who was about to lean on the crown prince, had a sulking expression on her face because her attempt had failed. However, it was momentary. Soon, she was surrounded by people and smiling softly.

“Lady Primrose, is it true that you have the blessing of healing according to what the Priest has said?”

Lady Primrose. It was a name directed at Lilika, but it was the name they had been calling Yuria for a while after her downfall.

But it seemed to have returned to Lilika now.

“Ah… I don’t know either. But I felt like I could do it somehow.”

“This is a miracle. God gave the Lady power!”

“If it weren’t for Lady Primrose…!”

The ladies, who had come to their senses after a while, thanked Lilika.

“I heard you cured me. Thank you.”

Princess Vivian was also bewildered, but she thanked Lilika first.
