Plot
“Tonight as well… I want to receive your purification.”
It was a life filled with misery.
Although she possessed the power to purify demonic miasma, Irenne was judged to be the lowest rank of purifier. Throughout her short life, she was never welcomed, never cherished, and never truly loved by anyone.
She died alone in the end.
Yet, for reasons she cannot understand, she awakens in the past—
Just before meeting Mikhail, the husband whose future she had ruined.
“The very first mistake I have to correct in this life… is making sure I never become entangled with Mikhail.”
But something is different about Mikhail.
“I… need you. Please purify me.”
Not only is he the one asking for purification first, but the Holy Knight—revered almost as highly as a priest—comes to see her every single night.
“Irenne. My Pair (a contracted purifier-partner bound to a knight for cleansing demonic miasma). My wife. Tonight, I want to receive your purification… for a very long time, and very slowly.”
Weren’t you the Holy Knight who, in our previous life, couldn’t stand the thought of even brushing fingers with me?
