Episode 166 Chapter 39: Ghost Story(2)

Ghost Story(2)

The Cradle of Cheonryeong Tree, the White Castle.

Florin, the Elf King, rarely used her bedroom, was looking at herself in the mirror, while smelling a little human scent.
(TS: I Didn't get this part, maybe they are saying Florin now smells a little like humans since she spent a  decent time with a human(baek yuseol))

The thin black veil and dress completely covered her body, hiding any hint of her skin, and it had a distinctly different atmosphere from what she used to wear.

'Although I can't do much for you... I can at least do this.'

Yeonhung Chunsamwol, whom she met in the sacred space at the root of the Cheonryeong Tree, apologized to her and gave her a special gift.

The first gift: weakening the curse.

'Even without a divine item right now... I will transfer some of your abilities to Baek Yuseol using myself as a medium.'

In fact, Florin did not fully understand her abilities, except for the fact that she could enchant others forcibly.

However, according to Yeonhung Chunsamwol, she had numerous abilities.

Florin transferred a small portion of these abilities to Baek Yuseol. The process took three days and nights, but it was surprisingly simple and ordinary.

All they did was sit down, hold hands, and resonate with each other's energy.

However, this was an incredibly special event for Florin.

Holding hands with someone, feeling another person's warmth.
(TS: aah right, the most romantic and lewd event .... hand holding!... how vulgar!!..i should probably add 18+ tag now)

The passing of time could have felt tedious, but when Florin held hands with Baek Yuseol... she felt a thrilling emotion.

It was the first time she felt this way, and although she couldn't explain it, she thought this might be what people called 'happiness.'

Weakening the curse? It was something she had longed for, a good gift.

But... to her, this felt like a much bigger gift that touched her deeply.

And the second gift: the curse-blocking dress.

'I made this based on your dress. Previously, just breathing the same air as you in the same space would have affected those around you with the curse, and even hearing your voice was dangerous. But with this dress, you don't have to worry about that.'

The dress was far superior to the one Florin had handcrafted, and it allowed her to show her face in the outside world.

Having lost her trusted aide, Florin now had to handle royal duties herself, making it impossible for her to continue hiding in the forest. The dress was a truly necessary item.

She looked at herself in the mirror with calm eyes. She looked no different from before. Still, she hid her entire appearance, unable to show herself to anyone.

Knock, knock, knock!

"May I come in?"

Hearing a voice from outside, Florin quickly nodded.

"Yes, come in."

The door opened, and Baek Yuseol walked in, passing through the guards protecting the Elf King's bedroom.

Click!

As the door closed, he looked around the bedroom with curiosity.

He expected something grand for a king's bedroom, but it was rather ordinary, which slightly disappointed him.
