The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 123

For years, Raheen had been a constant source of concern for me.

Although my God hadn’t revealed everything, I pieced together the truth by combining the contents of the book I read as ‘Kim Aram’ with reality.

I am the incarnation of the Celestial God.

Raheen is likely the incarnation of the Evil God.

I had never met Raheen, but strangely, I felt like I had known her for a long time, which allowed me to roughly predict her behavior.

‘If she’s awake, I expected her to make a wish and appear here within a few days. She’s not known for her patience.’

While in Arcalik, I communicated with the Celestial God two or three times a year.

The Celestial God usually asked me for simple favors, like purifying certain objects with divine power.

Then, I would ask my dad to find those objects for me.

According to the Celestial God, the curses Raheen left behind were diverse in shape and form.

From rings that simply brought misfortune to their owners, to fans that caused fever with each use, and daggers that brainwashed people into harming their loved ones.

Raheen’s touch was on all of them.

‘No, since it’s not divine, I should just call it divine power. It’s hard to imagine leaving behind such creative curses.’

Only one thought crossed my mind.

Raheen was truly wicked.

Being somewhat selfish is one thing… but enjoying tormenting others like that was close to a mental illness.

That was probably an action she could take because she believed she would never be retaliated against.

The ‘Saintess’ status she gained from her first wish.

That would be her shield-

Who would think that Raheen was going around cursing people with divine power?

“You don’t need to worry about it. It’s a good thing. I couldn’t even kill her when she was sealed away.”

At that moment, Father chuckled and threw out a sarcastic remark.

It didn’t sound like a joke, but I felt like I should take it as one, so I awkwardly laughed, “Ahahaha.”

‘Is Raheen still obsessed with Father? Or is she not making any moves because she’s given up on her obsession?’

It feels like being swept away by a rapid current. All the beats are right, but it feels like a dissonance [a lack of harmony].

I felt sick, as if something unexpected would suddenly burst out one day.

Of course, it’s all probably just unnecessary anxiety…

I couldn’t shake the feeling that she and I, who had never even met, were disgustingly intertwined.

“So, Meatball. Is Yuri not a good match as a husband?”

“Ah, Yuri…? Suddenly…?”

I almost bit my tongue at the sudden change of topic, and I replied a beat late.

“Uhm, well. I mean… uhm.”

“I don’t need to hear it to know.”

“If I were to get married, it would be Dante or Ian. But I don’t know what to do about Yuri’s obsession. Of course, I haven’t met him yet, so I don’t know what it will be like.”

I was different from Ariadne. That much was obvious.

If I had a husband and children, I would want to be devoted only to my family.

But I was very worried about Yuri’s reaction if that happened.

Would he just stand by?

“A shark’s obsession is very annoying. I know how unsightly that Emperor’s obsession with my sister was.”

“Yuri is less than His Majesty the Emperor, right? He let me go to Arcalik, and he hasn’t said anything now…”

“We’ll see.”

I tried to be optimistic, but Father replied very skeptically.

“I’d bet that he knows your every move.”

“…Every move?”

That’s a little… very scary, isn’t it?

“Did one of the Arcalik people leak my news to Yuri?”

When I asked with a serious face, Father burst into a hearty laugh and shook his head.

“He wouldn’t use such an obvious method.”

“Then…?”

“I guarantee it will be a method you can’t know or guess at all. However, he wouldn’t have let you go so easily unless he was in a superior position to the other guys.”

Father’s words sounded very plausible.

But the problem is, Father doesn’t make empty promises.

“I’ve tried to find out how Yuri is watching you, but it’s no use even if I visit him unexpectedly.”

“Hmm.”

“He’s just like his father and sister, a cunning fellow.”

“Hmm.”

This is a disaster. Yuri has grown into a perfect obsessive man, hasn’t he?

I remember him asking me if I would become the head of the family right before we broke up. I was uneasy from the moment he said those words with such a pretty face…

‘He was so innocent when he was very young.’

I recalled Yuri’s adorable and cute childhood and briefly teared up.

“Ah, one more thing.”

“Yes?”

I was wondering if I should go into the crowd and have various conversations. I was about to take a step when-

“!”

My ears are ringing. The surrounding noise becomes murky as if I’m submerged in water, and the gazes that were glancing at me and Father faded.

“I’ve deployed a subspace [a separate, contained area]. This is a space that no Iculus [a type of magical being or creature] can penetrate. If Yuri is watching you using Iculus, you can hide the conversations you have in here.”

“Amazing.”

I’m still standing in this spot, but it’s actually inside a subspace that surrounds only me and Father.

I’m almost afraid to ask how much more Father’s abilities have developed.

“Meet Yuri, and if you still don’t want to marry Yuri. Florin.”

“Yes, Father.”

The duration of maintenance will be short as it is a great space.

Father spoke concisely to the point, and I quietly listened to not miss the key.

“Say these words to him. I want to fall in love.”

“Love…”

“The Shark Clan has an abnormal mental illness called Shark’s Attachment, but in all other respects, they are surprisingly cold and rational. Love is not an emotion they can understand. But from the moment you mention love, Yuri will be careful in everything he does to make you fall in love with him.”

“!”

“He might even try to imitate the person you love.”

It’s better that way, you’re saying.

Yuri is an animal that you never know where he will bounce, so… it means to make a tank to limit his actions.

“But Father. Then Yuri is too pitiful… He barely got out of the tank.”

It’s like taking him out of a physical tank and putting him back in an emotional tank.

Will Yuri have to live like that for the rest of his life?

“That’s the only way to prevent a rampage. When you decide on a head of household, Yuri will think like this in his heart. There is still a way to win your heart.”

“So, if you ask me, I had a political marriage, and you’re saying he’ll think he can be my lover.”

“Yes. It didn’t take long to choose the head of household. He’ll think you chose based on conditions. And since you said love with your own mouth, from that moment on, love would have become a more precious value than any condition in Yuri’s heart… Yuri will be willing to endure it.”

It’s a deception.

However, the reason why it can’t be said to be a complete deception at this point is because, frankly, I’m not in love with anyone.

So it’s possible that I could fall in love with Yuri.

I tried to wash my face, but then I realized that Linda’s makeup would be ruined, so I stopped my hand.

“After meeting Yuri in person, if I need to do as you advised… can I say that then?”

“Do so.”

Father’s turquoise eyes were deep.

Knowing that he was saying this only out of concern for me, I hugged Father tightly.

Father gently stroked my head and then whispered softly.

“I promise it won’t take long. I’ll bring you a medicine that can cure Shark’s Attachment.”

“There’s such a medicine?”

“In the Holy Empire. Their imperial family is also a sea animal. When I looked into it, I found out that the Toothed Whale Clan also had severe attachment issues, but after taking a medicine made from a special plant, the entire clan got better.”

Oh my gosh. There was such a miracle drug!

I hope Yuri doesn’t obsess over me and lives his own life. At least, I hope he doesn’t live like Emperor, like he’s dead…

Attachment can’t be cured with divine power, so I hope that special medicine works.

“I’ve requested it several times in the name of the family, but there’s been no reply, so I’ll have to step in myself soon. I’ll have to go on a long journey.”

Father smiled faintly and patted me on the shoulder. At the same time, I felt like my ringing ears were clearing up.

‘The subspace is gone.’

Father mingled naturally among the people as if he hadn’t said anything.

After waiting for a while, I found Dante and approached him.

I wondered if Yuri, who wasn’t here, would know who I spent all my time with today.
