WELCOME, LADY IRENNE RODIAM. YES. THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME, PRINCESS CECILIA. ...EVEN COMING HERE AGAIN, THIS ROOM IS TRULY INCREDIBLE. A SPACE LIKE A GLASS GREENHOUSE AT THE VERY TOP OF THE FORTRESS CASTLE. IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE, I WAS OVERWHELMED FROM THE MOMENT I ENTERED THIS ROOM... BUT... P-PRINCESS! IRENNE STILL DOES NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT GATHERINGS, SO SHE WAS UNABLE TO PREPARE A GIFT. OH MY... PREPARING A GIFT WHEN INVITED IS COMMON SENSE EVEN AMONG COMMONERS... THOUGH SHE WAS RAISED IN A COUNT'S FAMILY, IT SEEMS SHE WAS NOT PROPERLY TAUGHT ETIQUETTE. A PURIFIER'S CONDUCT IS DIRECTLY TIED TO A KNIGHT'S HONOR. MY, SHE REALLY IS RUDE AND SHAMELESS, JUST AS THE RUMORS SAY! SHE IS A PURIFIER WHO CAME TO THE FORTRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, SO IT IS ONLY NATURAL THAT SHE MAY NOT KNOW. THIS MUST ALSO BE HER FIRST TIME ATTENDING A GATHERING. As expected, Your Highness is so merciful! UNLIKE LADY IRENNE, WHO IS HOLDING HER HEAD SO STIFFLY... COME CLOSER, IRENNE. SIT BESIDE ME. IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE, THE SEAT I WAS GUIDED TO WAS IN THE FARTHEST CORNER. A CHAIR USED TO PLACE THE ATTENDEES' SHAWLS AND BAGS. THEY HUMILIATED ME BY HAVING A MAID HURRIEDLY PRETEND TO MOVE THE BELONGINGS AWAY. BUT IN THIS LIFE, SHE'S ASKING ME TO SIT BESIDE HER EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T BRING A GIFT. WHY HAS HER ATTITUDE CHANGED FROM MY PREVIOUS LIFE? WHENEVER I SEE PRINCESS CECILIA, UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS KEEP COMING TO MIND. WHY DID THE PRINCESS TELL ME THE WRONG INFORMATION THAT SIR MICHAEL WAS IN THAT LOW-GRADE DUNGEON? DID SHE TRULY NOT KNOW, OR... DID SHE WANT ME DEAD? DID THE PRINCESS HATE ME ENOUGH IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE TO WANT TO KILL ME? BECAUSE I HAD FORMED A PARTNERSHIP WITH SIR MICHAEL? BUT THIS IS ONLY MY GUESS, AND I HAVE NO PROOF. NOW, I HAVE EVEN LESS WAY TO CONFIRM IT, SO FACING THE PRINCESS IS SIMPLY UNCOMFORTABLE. THAT MUST BE THE RING THAT CAUSED SUCH A STIR IN THE FORTRESS. IF YOU DO NOT MIND, WOULD YOU GRANT ME THE HONOR OF SEEING IT UP CLOSE? ...OF COURSE, PRINCESS. COULD HER ATTITUDE HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE OF THIS RING...? I SEE. AT FIRST GLANCE, IT IS QUITE AN ORDINARY RING. STRONG ARTIFACTS OFTEN TAKE FORMS THAT ARE NOT VERY FLASHY IN APPEARANCE. ON THE OTHER HAND, SOME ARTIFACTS LOOK MAGNIFICENT, YET POSSESS DREADFUL POWERS. YES, JUST LIKE THIS RING I AM WEARING. IS IT NOT BEAUTIFUL? WHAT LOOKS LIKE A RUBY IS A PURE FIRE MAGIC STONE FOUND ONLY IN DUNGEONS. ...HUH? THAT RING LOOKS FAMILIAR. THIS IS... DEFINITELY FROM MY PREVIOUS LIFE... IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE RING SIR MICHAEL LEFT IN MY ROOM ON THE NIGHT I PURIFIED HIM! ...PRINCESS CECILIA, IF IT IS NOT RUDE, MAY I TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS RING? OF COURSE. I WILL TAKE IT OFF MY HAND, SO LOOK AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE. THE NAME OF THAT ARTIFACT IS ROTTEN RUBY. IF ONE ENTERS A DUNGEON WHILE CARRYING IT, IT DRASTICALLY REDUCES THE HOLDER'S STRENGTH AND ABILITIES. ENOUGH TO MAKE SOMEONE SKILLED ENOUGH TO EASILY DEFEAT HIGH GRADE MONSTERS STRUGGLE AGAINST LOW GRADE MONSTERS. BUT OUTSIDE A DUNGEON, IT IS NO DIFFERENT FROM AN ORDINARY ACCESSORY, SO I CHERISH IT AND WEAR IT FROM TIME TO TIME. COLLECTING ARTIFACTS WITH STRANGE CHARMS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME HOBBY OF MINE. I heard precious artifacts are piled all the way to the ceiling in the storage rooms of the Visconti Royal Palace. I am so jealous, Princess~ OH MY, THE ROYAL FAMILY DOES HAVE MANY TREASURES, BUT NOT TO THAT EXTENT. THOSE ARE ALL EXAGGERATED RUMORS. ...WHAT DID I JUST HEAR? IF THE PRINCESS'S EXPLANATION IS CORRECT, THEN IT MAKES SENSE THAT SIR MICHAEL, WHO HAD THIS ON HIM, SUFFERED A FATAL INJURY SEVERE ENOUGH TO LEAVE HIM ON THE BRINK OF DEATH. THE USUAL SIR MICHAEL WAS PERFECTLY FINE EVEN AFTER ENTERING HIGHEST GRADE DUNGEONS SEVERAL TIMES. HOW DID THIS ARTIFACT END UP IN HIS POSSESSION? DID THE PRINCESS GIVE THIS TO HIM AS A GIFT OR SECRETLY SLIP IT AMONG HIS THINGS? BUT WHY WOULD SHE GO THAT FAR... WAS SHE SO OBSESSED WITH SIR MICHAEL THAT SHE WANTED TO HARM HIM? AND AFTER THAT... WAS I, HIS PARTNER, HER NEXT TARGET...? LADY IRENNE? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING SO DEEPLY ABOUT? ...I WAS THINKING THAT THE RING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL, JUST AS YOU SAID. HERE. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING IT TO ME. YOU ARE WELCOME. COME TO THINK OFIT, THERE IS SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT, LADY IRENNE. PARDON? WHAT ABOUT ME... LADY IRENNE'S PARTNER IS PALADIN MICHAEL, ISN'T HE? DOES HE ALSO... ASK YOU TO PURIFY HIM? LADY CORINNE!! WHAT~? YOU WERE CURIOUS TOO, LADY VANESSA. AFTER ALL, SIR MICHAEL IS ALWAYS ENTERING DUNGEONS, SO HE MUST BE POISONED BY DEMONIC ENERGY EVEN MORE SEVERELY. IT SEEMS PURIFICATION WOULD BE TERRIBLY DIFFICULT. ESPECIALLY WITH MISS IRENNE'S PURIFYING POWER, ALL NIGHT... ## See also - [WebtoonLib — My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin #20](/series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv/chapter-20-544pnf) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
