JUST A LITTLE MORE... WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT IF I TOUCHED SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR HAND? ...MORE THAN THIS? I AM ALREADY AT MY LIMIT JUST HOLDING HIS HAND... BUT IT IS RARE FOR SIR MICHAEL TO ASK ME FOR A FAVOR... ABOVE ALL, IT IS A REQUEST FOR PURIFICATION, SO I DO NOT WANT TO REFUSE... RATHER, JUST LIKE IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE... I WANT HIM TO DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, TO ME... SO MUCH THAT IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY... I-IF YOU LOWER THE AMOUNT OF DEMONIC ENERGY YOU RELEASE JUST A LITTLE, AND LET IT FLOW IN SLOWLY... THEN I THINK IT WILL BE ALRIGHT... UNDERSTOOD. BUT... IF NOT MY HAND, WHERE IS HE TRYING TO... TOUCH...? HUH? HOW DID I...? YOU ARE AWAKE. AH...! I FAINTED JUST LIKE LAST TIME...!!! I DO NOT REMEMBER HOW I FAINTED, BUT IT IS A RELIEF. DID HE WAIT FOR ME TO WAKE UP? It seems well past midnight. I AM SORRY, SIR MICHAEL. IT SEEMS MY PURIFICATION POWER WAS INSUFFICIENT TO HANDLE YOUR DEMONIC ENERGY. I AM THE ONE WHO SHOULD APOLOGIZE FOR ASKING TOO MUCH OF YOU. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THE DEMONIC ENERGY FLOWED IN DIFFERENTLY THAN BEFORE. HE SUBJUGATED A HIGH GRADE DUNGEON TODAY, SO IT MUST BE THE AFTERMATH OF THAT. UM... I HEARD YOU SUBJUGATED A HIGH GRADE DUNGEON WITH AN UNRECORDED GRIFFIN DURING THE DAY. MISS REINA ASKED ME TO CONVEY HER DEEPEST GRATITUDE TO YOU, SIR MICHAEL... I SEE. HAVE YOU BECOME QUITE CLOSE WITH MISS REINA? PARDON? AH, YES! ALONG WITH LADY CYNTHIA, WHOM I MET AT PRINCESS CECILIA'S GATHERING, THE THREE OF US HAD TEA TOGETHER... PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE ALL THREE OF US HAVE PRACTICALLY FALLEN OUT OF FAVOR WITH THE PRINCESS, BUT WE BECAME CLOSE QUICKLY. DID SOMETHING TROUBLING HAPPEN AT THE GATHERING? WELL... I CANNOT TELL HIM ABOUT THE PRINCESS'S RING SINCE IT IS TIED TO MY PREVIOUS LIFE, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO BRING UP THE PRINCESS'S HARASSMENT BECAUSE IT MIGHT DAMAGE LADY CYNTHIA'S REPUTATION... NOT TO MENTION HOW THEY INSULTED SIR MICHAEL AT THE GATHERING... IT IS JUST... I THINK IT IS HARD FOR ME TO FIT IN WITH SOMEONE AS NOBLE AS THE PRINCESS. OR MAYBE I AM JUST FAILING TO ADAPT WELL TO THE FORTRESS. IT CANNOT BE HELPED. HOWEVER... PRIORITY ACCESS TO DUNGEONS WITH BETTER REWARDS. RAIDS WHERE ONE CAN AIM FOR A LARGER SHARE OF THE LOOT. SOCIALIZING AND FRIENDSHIPS AMONG PURIFIERS ARE MERELY EXCUSES, THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE GATHERING IS A STRUGGLE FOR RIGHTS AND INTERESTS BENEATH THE SURFACE. IF THE PLACE WHERE KNIGHTS FIGHT IS A DUNGEON, THE PLACE WHERE PURIFIERS FIGHT IS INSIDE THE FORTRESS. I REALIZED THIS TOO LATE... EVEN IF I HAD KNOWN IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JOIN THAT GAME ANYWAY... ...I AM JUST A LITTLE WORRIED THAT THERE MIGHT BE DISADVANTAGES BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER ATTEND THE GATHERINGS. FOR LADY CYNTHIA'S PARTNER, MISS REINA'S PARTNER, TOO. AND... FOR US AS WELL. I SAID IT. I CALLED HIM AND MYSELF "US"... WHAT IF YOU WERE TO CREATE A GATHERING YOURSELF, LADY IRENNE? PARDON?! ISN'T THE WHOLE POINT OF A GATHERING TO BRING LIKE-MINDED PURIFIERS TOGETHER? WOULD IT NOT BE WONDERFUL IF YOU BECAME THE CENTRAL FIGURE AND LED A NEW GATHERING? TH-THAT IS ABSURD! I CANNOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER... OR LEAD THEM! YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY. I BELIEVE YOU WILL DO A STELLAR JOB, LADY IRENNE. H-HOW DO YOU KNOW? THAT I WILL DO WELL... IT'S NOT EVEN BEEN LONG SINCE WE BECAME PARTNERS... ...WHEN I WAS YOUNG, THE PRIEST WHO MEASURED THE LIGHT OF PURIFICATION TOLD ME SOMETHING. HE SAID THAT THE NATURE OF THE LIGHT OF PURIFICATION CHANGES DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF PERSON THE PURIFIER IS. REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OR GRADE OF THEIR POWER, YOU CAN FEEL IT THROUGH ITS COLOR, ITS WARMTH, AND THE SENSATION THAT SPREADS THROUGH YOUR BODY. HOW PURE THE PURIFIER'S SOUL IS, HOW WARM AND GOOD, HOW UPRIGHT AND STRONG... SINCE I HAD NEVER RECEIVED PURIFICATION BEFORE, I HAD NO WAY OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT THAT MEANT, BUT... THAT DAY, DURING THE NIGHT OF CONTRACTS, THE MOMENT I HELD YOUR HAND, I KNEW. I REALIZED JUST HOW WARM AND STRONG YOUR LIGHT IS, LADY IRENNE. SIR MICHAEL DID NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD AFTER THAT, AND SIMPLY CONTINUED TO GAZE INTO MY EYES. AFTER STARING BLANKLY INTO HIS EYES, I BELATEDLY CAME TO MY SENSES AND HASTILY PRETENDED TO WORRY ABOUT PASSING MY COLD TO HIM. TRUTHFULLY, I HAVE NEVER CAUGHT A COLD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY. LEAVING THOSE WORDS BEHIND, HE RETURNED TO THE PALADIN QUARTERS. WHETHER IT WAS BECAUSE I FAKED AN ILLNESS, OR BECAUSE I REALLY WAS COMING DOWN WITH SOMETHING. ...OR SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PURIFICATION HAD EXHAUSTED ME, I ENDED UP BEDRIDDEN FOR THREE DAYS. Lady Irenne~!! AND THE DAY AFTER I RECOVERED, A PRIEST CAME TO REMEASURE MY PURIFICATION POWER AT SIR MICHAEL'S REQUEST. SEEING THAT THERE WAS NO CHANGE AT ALL EVEN AFTER PURIFYING THE MONSTER'S BLOOD, IT SEEMS YOU WILL NEED TO PURIFY AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF DEMONIC ENERGY FOR YOUR POWER TO INCREASE. BECAUSE I HAD HEARD THOSE WORDS PREVIOUSLY, I WAS NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING AT ALL, BUT... congratulations on becoming a 7th grade purifier, irenne! THANK YOU, CYNTHIA, REINA. i heard you are the first purifier in history to increase your grade? you truly are amazing, irenne! exactly. CYNTHIA, BEING THE OLDEST, DECIDED TO DROP FORMALITIES! THE FORTRESS IS IN AN ABSOLUTE UPROAR OVER THIS... THERE ARE MANY WHO MARVEL AT IT, BUT IT SEEMS THERE ARE QUITE A FEW WHO ARE JEALOUS, TOO. PRINCESS CECILIA'S CLOSE AIDES, IN PARTICULAR, DID NOT LOOK PLEASED. I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO STAY CAREFUL FOR A WHILE, IRENNE. ...UM, I HAVE A PROPOSAL FOR THE TWO OF YOU! IRENNE RODIAM, HOW DARE THAT B*TCH... HOW DARE SHE...IN "MY" FORTRESS... ...FORM A NEW GATHERING? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin #24](/series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv/chapter-24-sn9tcr) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
