I CAN ALREADY SEE THE KINGDOM ALLIANCE FORTRESS. TO THINK I WOULD COME BACK HERE ONCE AGAIN... THIS IS NOT A DREAM. I REALLY RETURNED TO THE PAST! AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY LIFE FLASHING BEFORE MY EYES. SO I ASKED THE COUNT FOR HALF A YEAR, JUST LIKE BEFORE, THEN WENT INTO MY ROOM AND WAITED FOR TRUE DEATH TO COME, BUT... ...HUH? WHY AM I NOT DYING...? Instead, I slept soundly. MISS IRENNE! HOW LONG ARE YOU PLANNING TO SLEEP? HURRY, FINISH YOUR MEAL, COME DOWNSTAIRS, AND HELP WITH THE DISHES. AH, YES... IS SHE REALLY GOING TO THE FORTRESS TO FIND A KNIGHT WHO WILL BECOME HER PARTNER? HOW WILL SHE DO THAT WHEN SHE IS LOWEST GRADE? WHO KNOWS~ THE MAIDS WHO SNEERED AS THEY TOSSED ME MY MEAL WERE THE SAME. THE HEAD BUTLER WHO THREW OUT MY BAG AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE QUICKLY, AND THE COACHMAN WHO WAS ANNOYED THAT HE SUDDENLY HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FORTRESS, WERE THE SAME TOO. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME, AND A FULL WEEK HAS ALREADY PASSED, MAKING IT THE NIGHT OF CONTRACTS. I REALLY AM THE ONLY ONE WHO RETURNED TO THE PAST... THE PAIN OF MY BONES AND FLESH BEING TORN BY A MONSTER'S CLAWS IS STILL SO VIVID... PRINCESS CECILIA CLEARLY SAID ALL THE MONSTERS IN THE DUNGEON WOULD ALREADY BE CLEARED. SHE SAID SIR MICHAEL WOULD BE INSIDE... BUT SIR MICHAEL WAS NOT IN THE DUNGEON, AND THE BOSS MONSTER GUARDING THE REWARD ROOM APPEARED AND ATTACKED ME. BUT THIS STRANGE METAL FRAGMENT I FOUND IN THE REWARD ROOM BEFORE I DIED... WHEN I OPENED MY EYES, IT WAS IN MY HAND AFTER I HAD RETURNED TO THE PAST. LOWEST GRADE DUNGEONS USUALLY HAVE UNIMPRESSIVE REWARDS SUITED TO THEIR LEVEL, BUT VERY RARELY, A RARE ARTIFACT THAT WOULD NORMALLY ONLY COME FROM A HIGHEST GRADE DUNGEON APPEARS... ARTIFACTS. THEY POSSESS UNIQUE MAGICAL ABILITIES, AND ARE THE MOST VALUABLE REWARDS THAT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM DUNGEONS. A GEM THAT LETS ITS HOLDER BREATHE UNDERWATER, A RING THAT SHINES BRIGHTLY ENOUGH TO LIGHT UP AN ENTIRE ROOM, A NECKLACE PASSED DOWN AS A ROYAL TREASURE BECAUSE IT SLOWS THE WEARER'S AGING, AND SO ON... ARTIFACTS LIKE THOSE CAN CHANGE A PERSON'S LIFE, OR BE SOLD FOR A PRICE JUST AS GREAT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST USELESS JUNK THAT NO ONE BOTHERED TO TAKE... WAS THIS ALSO THAT KIND OF ARTIFACT? AH, NOTHING HAPPENED. STILL, I SHOULD KEEP IT SAFE JUST IN CASE. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHY OR HOW I RETURNED TO THE PAST, BUT FOR NOW, BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE FORTRESS, I RECORDED EVERY BIT OF THE FUTURE I COULD REMEMBER. THE TIMING OF DUNGEONS THAT WILL APPEAR OVER THE NEXT YEAR, THEIR REWARDS, MONSTER ATTRIBUTES AND CHARACTERISTICS, AND SO ON... I NEVER THOUGHT THE TIME I SPENT ALONE AT THE FORTRESS, LOOKING THROUGH DUNGEON RECORDS IN THE ARCHIVE WHENEVER I WAS BORED, WOULD COME IN HANDY LIKE THIS. IF THE DUNGEONS APPEAR AGAIN EXACTLY AS I REMEMBER, THEN EVEN IF I MAKE AN UNFAVORABLE CONTRACT AT THE NIGHT OF CONTRACTS, I CAN SELL ARTIFACTS AND PAY BACK 100,000 GOLD IN NO TIME. THEN I WILL NOT NEED TO FORM A CONTRACT WITH SIR MICHAEL. SIR MICHAEL... HEY! WE'RE AT THE FORTRESS! GET DOWN! ...RIGHT. MAYBE THIS IS A SECOND CHANCE GIVEN TO ME BY GOD SO I CAN FIX MY MISTAKE. IF SO, I WILL NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BECOMING SIR MICHAEL'S PARTNER AGAIN. I WILL NOT LIVE FOOLISHLY LIKE I DID BEFORE! GOOD, THE ATTENDEES ARE THE SAME TOO. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THE PARTNER I NEED IS SOMEONE FAIRLY STRONG, AND SOMEONE WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WILLINGNESS TO FORM A CONTRACT WITH ME... ...MOST IMPORTANTLY, ANYONE BUT SIR MICHAEL. THERE HE IS! THE KNIGHT WHO MOCKED ME DURING THE NIGHT OF CONTRACTS IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE. I HAD THOUGHT HE WAS SIMPLY A LUSTFUL MAN, BUT HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE UNTIL A YEAR LATER. THIS TIME, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE HIS FONDNESS FOR WOMEN AGAINST HIM. FOR THAT, I DRESSED UP A LITTLE MORE CAREFULLY THAN I DID IN MY PREVIOUS LIFE. HE SPOKE TO ME EVEN WHEN I WAS WEARING A HOOD BACK THEN, SO IF I SHOW HIM JUST A HINT OF MY SILHOUETTE NEARBY... HEY THERE, PURIFIER LADY. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PARTNER? HE TOOK THE BAIT! YES, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL KNIGHTS, SO I HAVE NOT DECIDED YET. OHO... EXCUSE ME, BUT WHAT PURIFICATION GRADE DOES OUR POPULAR LADY HAVE? 10TH GRADE. 10TH GRADE? HAHA! YOU MUST BE JOKING! WHAT KNIGHT WOULD EVER BECOME PARTNERS WITH A LOWEST GRADE... ...THERE MIGHT BE ONE~? I KNOW MY PURIFYING POWER IS VERY SLIGHT. THAT IS WHY I INTEND TO YIELD A GREAT DEAL ON THE CONTRACT TERMS FOR MY KNIGHT. OH, AND HOW MUCH WOULD YOU YIELD? YOU MAY TAKE ALL THE REWARDS FROM THE DUNGEONS. HOWEVER, ONCE A MONTH, YOU MUST GIVE ME ONE REWARD FROM A LOW GRADE DUNGEON. ...REALLY? THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH? YES, BUT I WILL CHOOSE WHICH DUNGEON THE REWARD I RECEIVE COMES FROM. THERE ARE NO OTHER CONDITIONS. GOOD. I LIKE THOSE TERMS. WHY NOT CHOOSE ME WITHOUT GOING ANYWHERE ELSE, AND SPEND THE NIGHT CHECKING WHETHER WE ARE COMPATIBLE AS PARTNERS? I MAY NOT LOOK IT, BUT I AM QUITE SKILLED IN MANY WAYS. RIGHT. A PARTNER WHO IS NOT SIR MICHAEL. THIS IS ENOUGH... WHAT IS THIS...?! THAT MAN, COULD HE BE... SIR MICHAEL?! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? EVERYONE ATTENDING THE NIGHT OF CONTRACTS IS THE SAME AS BEFORE, BUT ONLY SIR MICHAEL APPEARED EARLIER THAN HE SHOULD HAVE. AND WHY IS HE COVERED IN BLOOD LIKE THAT...? WHY IS HE COMING... TOWARD ME? MY LADY. I HUMBLY BEG YOU TO GRANT ME THE GRACE OF YOUR PURIFICATION. WHA... WHAT DID YOU SAY...?! ## See also - [WebtoonLib — My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin #4](/series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv/chapter-4-jkcryv) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/my-husband-is-definitely-a-paladin-54041nrv ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
