My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Trisa heard the news that the temple of life was completely eradicated.

Even though there was no confirmation about the identity of the culprit, she was absolutely certain that it was the clone-like existence that was sent by Eren’s alter ego.

She knew that the alter ego was so strong that it could wipe the Ice Maiden Palace within a few seconds, but even she didn’t imagine that it could eradicate something like that Temple of Light.

It meant that even if Eren was to step on the Central Continent, there were only a rare few forces that might be dangerous for him.

Except for the powers that were stronger than the Temple of Light, or the Ancient Families, there were not many who could threaten him.

If he had this kind of strength, then why did the alter ego not want him to step foot in the Central Continent? Was it simply to avoid an annoyance and live a comfortable and lazy life here? Or was something more at play?

She didn’t know exactly what kind of mess she had gotten herself involved in. The only thing she could confirm was that she was going to be in danger if she couldn’t tread through the murky water carefully.

Trisa couldn’t keep her balance, and stumbled the moment she heard the news. Eren was forced to step forward and wrap his arms around her waist to hold her in place.

"Are you alright?" he asked, unable to understand why Trisa was behaving as if she had seen a scary ghost.

"I don’t think you were close to the Temple of Light. Was there someone that you cared about, that might have gotten hurt there?"

He remembered that Trisa didn’t seem fond of the Temple of Light when she talked about their previous master’s death.

If anything, she looked like someone who was enjoying their misery. It made her present reaction come across as even more surprising.

"N-no. I was just a little shocked to hear the news. With the Temple of Light being destroyed, the Central Continent will become even more chaotic. It’s going to be a true mess."

Trisa recovered her expressions, not wanting to let Eren know that everything was because of him.

"It looks like we have no reason to go to the central continent anymore." She brought out the invitation from the Temple of Light, inviting them for the coronation ceremony.

With the temple of light being eradicated, the invitation had lost any value that it had. They couldn’t attend the Coronation of corpses after all.

She burned the invitation in her hands, and watched it turn to dust.

"Hmm?" She watched the flames slowly die as the letter was destroyed, and a thought crossed her head.

’Could it be something planned by his alter ego as well? He erased any excuse we had to enter the Central Continent, which was precisely what he wanted.’

She didn’t know how accurate her assumption was, but it was truly frightening. They had destroyed a mighty force like the Temple of Light just to stop Eren from stepping foot in the Central Continent?

"I am fine. I think I just need some rest." She rubbed her forehead, the thought slowly overwhelming her.

She had barely felt a headache in her life, but in the last few days, she often had such headaches. Now, her entire head was spinning.

She tried to walk away on her own, to calm her chaotic head. There was only one problem. The entire world was spinning for her, and she couldn’t even walk straight.

Her steps were unstable, and she appeared as if she could fall at any moment.

"You don’t seem fine to me." Trisa heard Eren’s voice, as an arm wrapped around her shoulders. Another went under her knees, and she was picked up like a princess.

"At this rate, you will fall somewhere and get hurt. I will take you to your room," he said, holding Trisa close to his chest to stabilize himself.

He had already seen Trisa’s room, which made it easier for him to escort her back. It was just a little longer journey, since he couldn’t use teleport again. Or rather, he didn’t have the courage to.

"Cough, that’s right. Lord Eren should escort the Palace Master back." The Elder quickly retreated, not wanting to become an obstruction between the husband and wife.

"I have a feeling that the Elders look at me strangely. I wonder what it is?" Eren mumbled, watching the Elder disappear.

He didn’t know what it was, but their gazes felt less like they were looking at a junior, and more as if they were looking at someone who was equal to them. It was a strange feeling that was further intensified when he was with the Palace Master.

Was it simply because he was the supposed son in law of their Palace Master? Even for that possibility, their reactions felt a little extreme.

He had even seen some of them giggling in secret when they walked away from them, which made it even more bizarre.

"I can walk on my own. You don’t have to carry me. My room is far," The Palace Master said, placing her hand on Eren’s chest to push him back.

"You don’t have to be stubborn. I have already seen how well you can walk. If I let you go, you might fall a hundred times in two hundred steps. So let me carry you."

Eren held her firmly, to ensure that she didn’t fall because of her resistance. It made him bring her even closer into his embrace as he carried her.

"Palace Master, can I ask you something? There has always been a question in my mind that I wanted to ask, but couldn’t get the time."

He didn’t call her Mother-in-law as that was only something he was allowed to do when they were absolutely alone. He didn’t want to cross any red line and offend Trisa.

"What question?" Trisa asked, her resistance growing weaker.

"When I first came here, I remembered that I was in an extremely bad condition. The Medicinal Elder told me that I wouldn’t have survived if I hadn’t received the healing essence," Eren said, remembering the conversation he had with the Elder when she was asking him about his physique.

"She told me that my physique was really unique, and it couldn’t accept direct essence transfer. How did you people really transfer the medicinal essence then? I asked the Elder, but she just didn’t answer. She said that I should ask you."

"How did you do it?" Eren asked, wondering if there was some weakness in his physique that allowed them to pass his bloodline defence.
