GMYB Chapter 2

Chapter 2. I Need the Power of the Northern Duke

“Liez, let’s go to the North.” “The North……?” “Yeah. The Northern Grand Duke is also a royal family member, right? Let’s receive the power from him.” At Jaina’s words, Liez blinked for a long time and then shook her head. “I just want to stay in the forest of Elim.” “What…?” “I want to accept my fate.” “What are you talking about? Fate? This shitty fate to endure a time when you can’t do anything and you might die at any moment?” Liez let out a few short sighs as she watched Jaina getting angry, and then soon told her. “Actually, I’m scared.” “Scared, what?” “That, receiving the power.” Jaina looked at Liez, who was mumbling, with a puzzled expression. After a long time, she finally realized exactly what she was scared of. She had definitely become an adult, so she would be afraid of the act of sex itself. Although they learned about how to gain power from a young age, the pain varied greatly from saint to saint. Some even said that the act of inserting a dick into their hole to receive holy power was really fearful. With saints exaggerating their stories, the young saints were most afraid of the act of receiving power. Jaina let out a short sigh and said to Liez. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’ll hurt a little at first, but it’ll get better as you keep doing it.” “How would you know? Anyway, I’m scared. I don’t like having to put that disgusting thing in my body to receive holy power.” Watching Liez grimacing at the disgusting smell of a man’s dick, Jaina wondered how to explain this to her. But Liez was adamant. “Go if you want. I’ll stay here.” There was nothing more to say to Liez. She said that if she was going to die anyway, she would rather die without experiencing such a terrible thing. She thought that since her choice was hers, there was nothing more she could do. So Jaina left Liez behind and headed to the north alone. *** With pitch-black hair, black eyes, and a look that seemed to have been elaborately sculpted by a god. Leo Theron had a handsome appearance and a strong physique that didn’t match the rumors. Jaina sat there, unable to take her eyes off Leo. He came into the reception room and sat down on the sofa in an elegant posture. Leo asked, looking down at the uninvited guest who had come to the siege. “What is the saintess of Elim doing up north?” ‘Wow! His voice is crazy, his voice is crazy.’ Jaina exclaimed inwardly as she looked at Leo, who had a good voice as well as looks. “Can’t you speak?” Leo furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Jaina not answer his question. “Oh, no. I can talk.” Jaina quickly waved her hands and continued. “It’s just that… I, I received word that there are frequent monster attacks in the north.” It was a hastily made excuse based on the original story that suddenly came to mind, but Jaina smiled inwardly. She was feeling satisfied that she had done well. The North is always a place where monsters attack frequently, and Leo must be very busy dealing with them. “Who told you?” However, Jaina’s face hardened again at Leo’s unexpected question. She rolled her eyes, not knowing what to do, and then shouted as if she remembered something. “I-It was anonymous!” Leo’s eyebrow twitched, but Jaina tried to pretend not to notice and continued. “Anyway, I can stay at the Grand Duke’s residence for the time being and set up a sacred barrier in the North.” Leo seemed to be thinking about something for a while at those words. Then he picked up the golden bell next to his teacup and shook it. The butler quickly came in at that sound. “Give the saint a room.” Although he was wary of the saint who suddenly came, he seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with putting up a barrier in the north. Jaina was secretly happy that she had succeeded halfway and said to Leo as soon as the butler left. “It’s Jaina.” Leo looked at Jaina with a puzzled expression. “My name. Jaina, not the saint. Please call me by my name from now on.” Leo, who had been trembling at her words, nodded once and said in a flowing voice. “Yes, Jaina.” “Can I call you Leo too?” They had to stay together for a while, but it was a little uncomfortable to call him Your Grace every time. It was also because she thought it would feel a little closer if she called him by his name. Leo looked at her with a strange expression and nodded once at Jaina’s question. “Thank you, Leo. Then, when can I receive your power?” He allowed her to call him by his name and gave her a room. Hence, she asked right away, thinking it was time to get to the point. Leo’s face hardened for a moment. “Power?” “Yes. If you give me the power, I can use it to create a sacred barrier.” “…You’ll take the power from me.” “Yes.” When Jaina nodded as if it was obvious, Leo looked at her with his usual strange gaze. Raising one corner of his mouth, he said. “It seems you haven’t heard the rumor about me and came here.”
