I carefully scrutinized his demeanor. Unlike yesterday when he was dying, his appearance was neat. There were no traces of blood, and his dusty hair was well-groomed.
I smiled, raising the teacup.
“So, you visited the Liraneph mansion.”
“…I didn’t come to see Your Majesty like this early in the morning for that. And if it’s about the suggestion you made yesterday… I thought there was no need to hide my position from my father.”
“Fair point.”
Raven followed my gaze, lifting the teacup with a complex expression.
“Do you remember what I said yesterday?”
“…….”
“Come to the palace. Raven.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a loud noise came from beyond the reception room door.
“…I heard a noise like something breaking just outside the room.”
“Ignore it… about my proposal?”
“You saved my life, so I don’t have the right to refuse.”
Raven let out a long sigh. However, he nodded with a determined expression soon after.
“Of course. You didn’t come so early without finalizing your thoughts, right?”
“I’ll be a support for you, Your Majesty.”
Raven pledged with a serious and resolute gaze.
“I will come to the palace.”
“Good choice.”
“But I have no intention of giving up on my personal matters.”
“I have no intention of stopping you either.”
After lowering my upper body towards Raven, I whispered softly to ensure it couldn’t be heard from outside.
“I also have a reason to find Gennerva.”
“…Why did Your Majesty… Ah. Is it because of what you showed me yesterday?”
“Well, it’s not entirely wrong.”
Following my gesture, Raven also lowered his upper body. With the table placed in the middle, our faces rapidly approached.
“Your Majesty is a saint… Oh.”
Raven, who was about to ask if I was a saint, was startled when he saw my face up close and hastily stood up.
Raven, who covered his face, now as red as his hair, with his palm, bowed deeply.
“S-Sorry.”
“It’s not a big deal… What you’re thinking might be right.”
Upon hearing my response, Raven, with a face that seemed unable to comprehend, frowned.
“Why… then why…”
“If you’re asking why I didn’t reveal my identity earlier, there were vague circumstances. I couldn’t properly control the power either.”
“…”
Actually, I hadn’t thought about it.
Even with my vague words, Raven still had a face that couldn’t understand. It was a normal reaction.
If I had the power, I believed I could restore all this despair. That was why I had asked him to come to the palace.
“…I don’t understand.”
“That’s understandable.”
Just as I had said to Eleanor, Rejim, and Clint, I didn’t expect to be understood easily.
Phoebi and Revampel were blindly on my side, so they would naturally understand that I had hidden it. Eleanor worshiped gods, so she would be pleased with the birth of a saint rather than the fact that I had hidden it.
Clint… he would probably feel that his current situation was more important than saving the world, so he wouldn’t have time to think about it.
And Jareem valued Revampel more than me… If I could hide his secret by Revampel’s side, it would be enough for now.
But Raven was different.
He wasn’t a person who was favorable to me, and we hadn’t spent enough time together for him to understand.
I looked at Raven and chuckled bitterly.
“Raven, I didn’t think you would understand me…”
“But there must be special circumstances that only Your Majesty knows within the time I don’t know.”
Turning his gaze that had been directed at the empty space, Raven looked at me and smiled.
“Why do you look so gloomy? Are you afraid I won’t understand and will be disappointed?”
Feeling a pang in response to Raven’s words, I continued to smile without offering a proper answer. Raven shrugged his shoulders while taking a sip of tea.
“I believe that there are times that people can’t understand each other. For instance…”
He whispered softly.
“When I was young, I clearly remembered the face of the assassin who killed my brother, but I claimed not to know.”
“…!”
My eyes widened at his straightforward statement, addressing my curiosity. Raven placed his index finger on his lips, signaling for silence, just like he did when I was dying yesterday.
“You, Your Majesty, who didn’t want to let me into the palace, saved me from the brink of death. You are also the one who almost killed me.”
“…”
“I’ve thought about it all night. What Your Majesty and the Empress said to me is right. I will become a moth.”
Raven raised the corner of his left mouth slightly.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m scared and plan to shy away. So…”
“Yes?”
“So, I want to become a moth that can survive even by jumping into the fire.”
Raven politely pointed at me with both hands.
“If I almost die again, you’ll save me, right? Because I’m Your Majesty’s person.”
“You express the intention to use me very politely.”
His appearance was so absurd and cute that laughter burst out of me. When I laughed, Raven followed suit, laughing together like mischievous kids.
“Ah, I’ll be loyal to Your Majesty. I’ll be on Your Majesty’s side and be Your Majesty’s person from now on.”
Raven lightly raised the fist he clenched like a knight pledging loyalty, bowing slightly. Well, he was still sitting on the sofa.
Anyway, there was no need to refuse since he was willing to be on my side.
“Sure.”
“There’s a lot to do! At a glance, it seems that the state treasury and tax management are a mess!”
Raven, with his arms akimbo, ignited enthusiasm. His appearance was very pleasing.
‘I might receive praise from Jareem.’
When Raven becomes the financial officer, he’ll become a bureaucrat now…
‘I have to give him a lot of work!’
It’s a waste to let that clever head go idle.
I smiled brightly at Raven, and he, who didn’t know my inner thoughts, also smiled brightly.
And simultaneously, the rumor that I was bringing Raven into the government spread outside.
In the Emperor’s office.
Bang!
“What? What’s going on right now?”
“Yo-Your, Your, Your Majesty. That… Empress is inviting Raven Liraneph from early in the morning… telling him to enter the palace… and be a part of the government, they say.”
Revampel’s golden eyes burned hot with jealousy.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
