There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

Just now, Daniel inwardly clicked his tongue while peering into Frey’s future.

To strip a man and make him kneel down.

Isn’t it a perfect future for the idiotic princess who only causes trouble?

‘It’s pathetic to cry in front of a woman.’

I couldn’t see the man’s figure because the vision was unstable and blurry, but I could see the tears falling to the floor.

The scene soon focused and the man’s appearance became clear.

Daniel looked the future with a sullen expression.

Looking closely at the background, it seemed that Frey was staying in a place other than Grand Duke Prause’s residence.

As she said, it seemed like their divorce had indeed taken place.

“As the princess said, there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the divorce…”

Daniel, who was speaking in an indifferent voice, paused for a moment.

It was because the man’s voice in the vision was so familiar.

[“Frey, you can’t leave me.”]

The identity of the pitiful man kneeling naked in front of Frey was—

[“Daniel, before marriage, you were afraid that I would not divorce you, so you used your ability to see the future, right?”]

“!!!”

It was Daniel Prause himself.

The shock made him forget to breathe for a moment.

‘That clingy mess of a man…’

Me?

Daniel doubted his eyes.

Meanwhile, Frey asked.

“If he has silver hair, he must be from the north. Does he have a familiar face?”

“It is a familiar face.”

I couldn’t say I didn’t know my own face.

No, is it strange to say it’s me?

“I think I was mistaken.”

Daniel changed his words.

Unable to accept what he saw, the future of Frey slipped away.

However, the image of a man with the same silver hair as his kneeling with his shirt off was imprinted in his mind.

There was also the purple eyes unique to the Prause bloodline.

When I concluded that I was clearly not mistaken, the question shifted in a different direction.

‘Me to Princess Frey?’

Daniel looked at Frey with a puzzled expression.

She was certainly beautiful with her voluminous blonde hair.

It was clear that any man who was even a little interested in the love business would be dizzy just by talking to Frey Obelir.

It seems to be true that even roses in full bloom paled in comparison to the Princess.

But that was all.

He wasn’t interested in a princess using her father’s authority to complete a jewelry collection.

But why…

“Grand Duke Prause, did you see any interesting scenes from my future?”

“…”

Daniel could now declare that he had no crush on her in the slightest.

In addition, he had a mission to protect the order of time as Grand Duke Prause.

Unlike his father, who was crushed by his mother’s death, love could not make him irresponsible.

‘But what the hell happened in the future?’

Frey asked Daniel, who was confused.

“Didn’t the future me give you a divorce?”

Daniel answered Frey’s question in a slightly sullen voice.

“No.”

Rather, he felt no sympathy to the man who threw off his top and fell to his knees.

Daniel struggled to deny what he had seen and rose from his seat.

“As the princess said, we seemed to have divorced around that time.”

It was Daniel who didn’t bother to say that one of the two couldn’t accept it and looked sappy.

Frey found his reaction strange.

“Yes, what… As you can see, I’m going to give you a divorce. There will be a lot to gain for Prause too.”

“I understand. I’m tired from traveling, so I’ll go now.”

“Is that all you have to say to me?”

“For now, yes.”

He had no doubt that something was wrong with his ability to see the future because of the fatigue from the long journey.

* * *

I couldn’t figure out why the Grand Duke suddenly turned pale.

I thought he would show a little more interest in my proposal if I confirmed the divorce.

‘Could I have been having fun with my future lover?’

If a man who wasn’t interested in women saw such a future, it was understandable that he would be shocked and avoid talking to me.

“Then, see you in two weeks, my groom.”

I got up from my seat with a smile on my face.

It would be better to leave quickly before my favorability rating took a further hit.

‘What the hell was future me doing…’

I already have a bad image, but it got worse because of the future.

At this rate, the Grand Duke might go into hiding to avoid the marriage.

I was very embarrassed, but I tried to soften my hard face.

I had to refrain from displaying my discomfort in the hallway where people passed by.

Moreover, wasn’t I going out alone with the man I was supposed to marry in two weeks?

Unless I wanted to fuel unnecessary rumors, it was best to hide my emotions as much as possible.

As I walked with that thought in mind, I noticed someone approaching me.

Clean shoes without a single speck of dust, dark gray hair neatly combed through, and indifferent blue eyes.

It was a man who radiated coolness and life from his body.

“Long time no see.”

“…”

“Did you miss the welcoming ceremony because you were hiding in the corner like a rat?”

Crown Prince Tahar Obelir.

My body shrank a little when I faced his face, which looked nothing like the emperor.

I think it was because of the fear that was deeply ingrained in me.

[“The lowly thing does not even know the subject of the imperial event.”]

[“Tahar, I was just on my way to my room after a walk.”]

[“Can’t you grasp the situation with your foolish mind? If you had any sense, you wouldn’t have returned or left your room unnoticed.”]

When Tahar clicked his tongue, I lowered my eyes and froze.

I went back to my room and cried and screamed for hours.

‘When the prince looked at me like this, I couldn’t even sleep because of fear and contempt.’

Even now, Tahar was looking at me as if he was looking at livestock.

His face was filled with disdain, as if he were counting down the days until he could slaughter a troublesome beast.

Besides, he was always with someone.

Those behind him now were either the heads of noble families with strong bones, or members of the Council of Elders who had turned their backs on the emperor and sided with the empress.

The betrayal of the elders, who had traditionally supported the Emperor in state affairs, pained me deeply.

‘Because my father’s divine power perfectly blocks the undead monsters, not only nobles but also commoners in the capital forget the importance of holy power.’

Originally, Tahar could not manifest his divine power and had to resign from the position of successor when he was over twenty-five.

However, the Empress’s family swiftly manipulated public opinion to protect Tahar.

[“The undead monsters have degenerated and are of no use.”]

[“Now is the time to lead the empire to prosperity with the power of the Duke of Gelon and the Mage Tower, rather than relying on outdated divine power!”]

From the nobles to the commoners, and finally the elders.

People accustomed to peace began to question the significance of my father’s service and divine power.

In short, they regarded me as a thorn in their side.

{thump, thump}

The fear etched into my body caused my heart to race.

I tried to calm myself by summoning memories from the distant past.

‘It’s okay. You’ve seen this look in your past life.’

[“Mom! Why did you pass my clothes on to her?”]

[“Then do you want to buy new clothes?”]

[“I don’t know! Seeing her wear my clothes makes me feel bad. Can’t I just throw away these clothes instead of handing them over?”].

It was a face similar to the one my cousin used to wear when pointing and yelling at me.

There was nothing to be overly frightened of.

Furthermore…

‘I have divine power that this man doesn’t have. Because of that fact, Tahar is seething with even greater malice.’

The day I touched the Divine Power Sensor in the Great Temple, I heard that Tahar had destroyed countless pieces of furniture and decorations in his room.

The life he showed me was nothing but jealousy and envy stemming from an inferiority complex.

I’m only scared because I’m not confident.

I reassured myself and opened my mouth.

“It’s been a while, Tahar.”

“…”

Naturally, his face crumpled like paper and veins bulged on his forehead.

Until now, I couldn’t even make eye contact with him, let alone address him directly.

But I couldn’t help but offend him by looking into his eyes and calling his name as if we were on equal footing.

“What did you just say?”

Tahar’s voice was filled with displeasure.

I emptied my head and answered naturally, just like I did when dealing with a guest at my previous part-time job.

“It seems like it’s been a while, so I said hello.”

“Are you finally losing your mind after all the misfortunes, or are you trying to flatter me to save your own skin?”

In the first place, Tahar Obelir was a noble who could take care of a concubine’s daughter.

I had never even considered that option in the first place.

“No. I’m getting married to Grand Duke Prause soon and leaving the capital, so I thought I should give a greeting.”

Tahar let out a mocking laugh.

“Ha! Frey, do you think you own the world just because your father used his absolute authority to give you to Grand Duke Prause?”

“…”

“You must have inherited your mother’s vulgar appearance and her poor instinct to seduce a man to secure a position for yourself.”

A sharp gaze that took my breath away.

He, along with the family heads and elders who followed him, scolded me with disdainful eyes.

As if he knew that I would become frightened and shrink back.

However, when I overcame my fear and thought about it calmly, I felt sorry for him.

A person called the crown prince who will take care of all people in the future had to talk about his bloodline and argue about where he came from.

‘He could never be a good emperor. Although he actually becomes a tyrant.’

Tahar was an emperor who self-destructed because of greed and insecurities.

Thinking that way relieved my tension.

He was the one who brought up blood and lineage first, so I decided to poke at his inferiority with a smile.

The empress and the prince had already resorted to schemes against me and my mother, so there was no need to hold back.

“But in terms of appearance, I resemble the Emperor more than you.”
