I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
THIRTY EIGHT

The great priest looked down to see Daniela. "Nobody can hit you anymore, you can calm down."

Daniela gave a short nod and then suddenly felt pain in her right upper arm.

Daniela quickly rolled up her sleeves and looked at the scar as if it had been slashed by a sharp object.

"Ah, you're hurt!" Shouted one of the ladies.

The other lady immediately swarmed Daniela.

"Duke Vilvred hurt you?"

"Yes, geez. When did the duke use the sword? It's like slashed with a sharp object."

"Are you okay? Not sick? The wound looks new."

"It's best treated quickly."

"Don't let it go, these wounds can cause scars."

"High map, please treat."

The ladies talk at the same time.

Daniela was encouraged by the priestess of Rohan to follow the great priest who had walked first.

"Thank you for worrying about duke Aelthred. We'll treat him soon, ladies please follow the other priests."

Daniela touched the dried wound, it was a bit sore. Is the first prince injured now? I wanted to ask the temple for help but there was no way the temple would be suspicious about my condition.

In the high priest's private study, Daniela was seated on a sofa and the high priest treated Daniela with a clean liquid and cloth.

"This water is holy water that has been prayed for and the cloth is also clean." The great priest took off his mask and handed it to the high priest Rohan.

High priest Rohan permits to resign because he has to clean up the mess that duke Vilvred had made.

Daniela, who heard that, closed her wound. "That's right! Can't you use holy power?"

"What's a waste of energy just to treat a wound?"

"Isn't this small wound easy to treat with holy power?"

The great priest flicked a finger on Daniela's forehead. "Have you not learned anything at the temple? Don't rely too much on holy power."

"Why?" Daniela rubbed her tingling forehead. "Can holy power be used only in a limited way?"

"No, holy power can be used at any time. The problem is humans are forbidden to rely too often on the grace of the gods, so that if something happens in the future, we will not blame the gods." The great priest pulled out Daniela's injured hand then examined her upper arm then the cheek that the duke slapped. "Duke is too strong to use his powers, even though you're just a girl. Does he expect you to be a boy?"

Daniela remembered her heartache and then looked down.

"What's wrong? Do you still expect the duke to regret and want you to come back?"

Daniela shook her head quickly, her tears slowly coming out as the great priest cleaned the wound with holy water.

"Do I not deserve to be born in this world?"

"Who said that?"

"Dad. He seemed to hate me from birth."

"Of course she'll hate you, she loves her butler's daughter and then suddenly your mother shows up and blocks their love. Right now no one blames the love of a duke and a butler's son, they find it romantic and then hate those who get in the way of their love."

"Ouch!"

The great priest gently pressed Daniela's wound with a clean cloth. "Hold."

Daniela looked straight at the great priest who was patiently cleaning her wounds. "I knew my father hated me, didn't want me to be born. But, I hope dad changes his mind - apparently that thought carried over until now."

Daniela shakes a short. "No, I'm not afraid of the duke. It's just that I can't fight back, once against even the small heart that is spoken of. I'm very upset."

"You grew up in the Vilvred family, even though you've decided to leave, there's still something left. It's not easy to take it off, it takes time to take it off."

Daniela wiped away the tears with the back of her hand and then sobbed. "I want to fight it, I want to fight those who have hurt me and my mother."

"Yes, right. Opponents only or better avoid it for a while."

"Dodging?"

"It seems that fighting duke Vilvred is your current weakness, the best path is to dodge."

Daniela shakes. "No, I can't just avoid it. In the future it will definitely be against dad and the adults, I-"

The great priest patted Daniela on the head. "You're only fifteen, don't think hard against them. Gather knowledge first and then fight them all."

"Knowledge?"

"You can ask the empress about the royals list and what kind of business they develop."

"Business? Do I have to take revenge by disrupting their business? Just be right! I just got out of the shackles of the Vilvred family and had to use my brain to fight them?" Daniela did not believe it.

The problem is Daniela just realized that she does not have much knowledge and experience. Just relying on the confident nature of his modern life.

Daniela realized it while at the monthly meeting of the nobles and facing her father.

"From the beginning I did want to grow the business and relate well to them but-but-"

"But when you meet duke Vilvred, everything evaporates just like that. You don't have confidence in fighting back."

Daniela could not argue with him, she was indeed still afraid of facing the duke from getting used to it.

Daniela in any life is not very close to the god and rarely to the temple, but she is very appreciative and respectful of her biological father because only that person's family is left. That feeling had unconsciously been planted in his mind since childhood.

"Do you know what the story of the duchess's death was?"

Daniela nodded briefly. Her mother died in loneliness, no one was taking care of her because the duke was busy taking care of her lover, so were the servants there.

"After you know that, do you still expect love from your mother's killer?"

"I-"

The great priest raised Daniela's hand which the duke had pulled. "You see this? Have you ever seen a duke do the same to your sister?"

Daniela shakes a short.

"Then what do you expect of him? Duke Vilvred had already stolen the treasures, status and even the life of the Aelthred family."

Daniela took a breath and held it for a while to gather anger and sadness in him and then exhaled slowly.

"Don't expect love in murderers and thieves, they'll never care about the fate of others and only think about their own loss."

Daniela bit her lip.

"Just think about the resurrection of the Aelthred family, along with it will surely appear the one who truly loves you. Love does not need to be pursued, love will come alone. Same with the gods' gifts given to the priests."

Daniela asked the high priest. "Why did you help me get this far? I obviously harmed the temple and gave nothing away. But why you-"

"Should it be questioned again?"

"Yes?"

"What is clear, is it questionable?"

Daniela did not know what to answer, the problem was that she was confused about what was clear?
