The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Filled with shock and doubt,

Helena quickly turned to the next page.

Chapter Eleven Unrequited Love

Turn the pages.

A clear hissing sound came from the fingertips.

As Helena read the contents of her diary, her feelings became complicated, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

[August 21, 293 in the Ferran calendar, Sunday, rain]

[To make a joke, I became the most devout follower of the God of Justice.]

Previously, I would only go to the Church of Holy Light to pray during major holidays such as the annual festival, but this month, starting from the 6th, I have been going to the Church of Holy Light very frequently.

In truth, I knew perfectly well that I was merely using the pretense of praying to the God of Justice as a pretext to bump into Helena, who lived in the church.

Helena doesn't seem very bright; she probably can't see that those serendipitous encounters were actually meticulously planned by this prince, right?

The Church of Holy Light in Guberland is the main church of the Church of the God of Justice.

Helena was assigned to live in an apartment building near the church.

At that time, Helena would wake up to the church bells every morning and then follow her mentor, Bishop Miriam, to learn the skills and knowledge of the priesthood within the church.

In this world, everyone has the potential to awaken a special talent at the age of fifteen.

Of course, if a person does not have awakened talent skills, it means that the person does not have "spirituality" and cannot carry out normal cultivation.

However, this only applies to those born with extraordinary abilities. In fact, through divine blessings and the preparation of magical potions, one can still acquire "spirituality" and become an acquired extraordinary being.

Acquired extraordinary individuals can cultivate just as normally as those born extraordinary individuals. The biggest difference between them is that those born extraordinary individuals possess an innate talent skill.

Furthermore, those born with extraordinary talent are more gifted in cultivation than those who acquire it later in life.

This leads to the fact that those who are born extraordinary are generally stronger than those who become extraordinary later in life.

Helena is one of those born extraordinary, possessing the innate talent of "healing."

Leon is also a born extraordinary individual, and he has innate talent skills that he has awakened from birth.

Now,

The attributes of this talent skill that awakens at the age of 15 basically determine a person's upper limit and the career they will develop on the path to extraordinary success.

Helena's awakened talent skill is "Healing," a support ability, so her main profession is priest.

As for professions, they are not fixed and can be adapted flexibly.

It's like choosing a major in college. You don't necessarily have to study only the knowledge of your chosen major; you can also minor in other professions.

Because minor studies allow for faster advancement, sometimes even surpassing major studies, many people switch professions for this reason.

During his stay at the Church of Holy Light, Leon did indeed come to the church to pray every morning, noon, and evening.

Helena was a clergy member in the church at the time. She spent most of her time studying with her mentor and on duty in the church, so she naturally met with Leon every day.

Now think about it,

Every time they met, Leon would greet him very warmly.

Before entering the palace, Helena and Leon had no connection whatsoever.

After all, Leon was a noble imperial prince, while she was just a commoner girl who grew up in the countryside. His life was luxurious, while hers was simple.

So she didn't know if Leon liked going to church before, but in her memory, Leon definitely went to church several times a day.

But now, judging from the contents of the diary,

Leon didn't go to church often before.

So during that period

The reason he went to church so diligently every day was...

Is it all just because they want to see themselves more?

Therefore,

Were all those unexpected encounters during that period actually premeditated by Leon?

Thinking of this,

Helena's hand, holding the diary, suddenly trembled.

At this point, her opinion of Leon began to waver.

The person you hate the most

He actually likes himself that much.

This is simply a joke.

If you really like yourself that much, then why did you treat yourself that way later?

Regardless, Leon's despicable behavior cannot be erased.

He still deserves to die.

Yes,

He still deserves to die!

After taking several deep breaths of the damp, chilly night air, Helena tried to calm herself down and continued to quickly flip through the rest of her diary.

[September 1st, 293rd year of the Ferran calendar, Thursday, cloudy]

I have never been so diligent and studious before.

Lately, I've been spending most of my time at the Kingdom Library until almost dawn, but I haven't gained much.

I'm a useless piece of trash; I can't help Helena at all.

My teacher asked me why I had suddenly become so diligent and eager to learn.

I told him the reason.

He seemed quite interested in this as well; he was a highly learned archmage who had lived for over two hundred years.

Perhaps he has a solution?

teacher?

Helena paused upon seeing this.

If I remember correctly—Leon's teacher should be Bancroft Grace, right?

The most learned sage and archmage in the entire empire, hailed as a "living encyclopedia".

While studying at Guberland College, Helena attended Bancroft's lectures and classes; he was indeed a very learned scholar.

At that time, it was no secret that Leon was his direct student at the university.

Leon also graduated from the University of Guberland. Actually, Helena graduated a year later than Leon, so she was his classmate and junior.

Helena knew Leon when she first entered university.

At that time, Leon was the most handsome guy at Guberland University, with many female admirers and suitors.

As for Helena...

She was the kind of quiet, unassuming girl on campus who didn't like social activities and just focused on not failing her courses.

Moreover, she doesn't dress up much, doesn't like talking to others, and compared to those female college students who dress up every day, she naturally doesn't have much of a presence.

Besides, with so many students at Guberland University, Leon wouldn't have known she was his junior if Helena hadn't entered the palace.

However, this Leon is not the same Leon as before. He is, of course, fully aware of Helena's past.

[Friday, September 9th, 293 in the Ferran calendar, rain]

Today, my teacher told me about an old prescription that might help Helena.

Although I was a little unsure, I decided to give it a try after confirming that the medicine wouldn't be life-threatening.

I didn't tell Helena that I had secretly drugged her tea.

An ancient prescription?

September 9th...

If I remember correctly,

It seems to have been on the night of September 9th.

I suddenly started hallucinating in the middle of the night.

Then, it felt like countless ants were gnawing at my bone marrow all over my body, causing excruciating pain.

After regaining her senses, Helena also suspected that there was something wrong with the tea Leon had poured for her that day.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with that tea.

But was the reason he put the drug in the tea actually to help him overcome the drawbacks of his "healing" skill?

Moreover, were they deceived by Grace?

This……

That's impossible.

This can't be real, right?!

Leon, he—

How could he be so...?

It will be like this—

I suddenly feel a little heartbroken.

Helena couldn't think of a specific adjective to describe Leon.

At this moment, she was in a state of utter confusion. The image of Leon that she had been holding in her mind had been greatly impacted, and she was simply unable to calmly evaluate the matter.

Chapter Twelve: Whitewashing

Starting from the evening of September 9th,

Helena gradually lost her sense of self.

From then on, she began her life as a tool, imprisoned and constantly performing healing rituals.

During the time she lost herself, even after she regained consciousness and developed drug resistance, her memory remained hazy.

Therefore,

What was Leon doing while he was under the influence of drugs?

Helena was filled with boundless curiosity.

After calming herself down, she continued reading the rest of the diary.

[September 11th, 293 of the Ferran calendar, Sunday, sunny]

Today, I had a huge argument with my teacher. I even wanted to chop off that old man's head, but my father gave me a severe scolding.

That's when I realized I'd been scammed.

My father and teacher want to use me to turn Helena into nothing more than a tool that only uses healing abilities to treat the wounded.

They even went on to tell me about Helena's crucial role on the Imperial battlefield.

Looking at their despicable faces, I felt an overwhelming sense of disgust for this country for the first time.

But I didn't have time to think about that; I just wanted my Helena to get back to normal.

I'm sorry, Helena, it's my fault.
