After that, I visited Lisa from time to time when I had a chance.
Lisa and I communicated quite well. Surprisingly, the two of us had similar personalities.
“What? You ended up merely taking away the monopoly from the merchant who tried to backstab you, and paying him a hefty tax? That’s ridiculous! If something like that had happened in the Eteria Empire, they would have pulled out fingernails and peeled off scalps…!”
Sick Lisa was incredibly tough. Talking to her, I could feel that she used to be a knight in her prime. And it seemed like I understood why they said the Emperor of Eteria was a strong woman.
“It’s, it’s okay. …That’s killing…”
“Of course! How dare you try to backstab the Empress of the empire? Death is deserved! In the Eteria Empire, such an act will never be tolerated! …Cough, cough!”
Lisa, who had been shouting vigorously, suddenly started to cough as she picked up her handkerchief. It was a severe cough that shook not only her shoulders but her entire body.
A maid attending Lisa quickly wrapped her up and handed her water, as if she were used to it.
“Cough cough!”
Even after taking a sip of water, Lisa’s coughing did not subside. Rather, it intensified and continued for a few minutes.
“Ha, ha. So, sorry. Teri. Cough. Did I surprise you? Ha.”
When Lisa removed the handkerchief that had been covering her mouth, it was stained with red blood.
It had been just half a day. Just sitting and talking seemed too much for Lisa, indicating that her condition was not good.
I was about to say something when…
Knock… Knock.
The sound of a faint knock, like that of an ant crawling, was heard. By now, just the knock was enough to know who it was.
At that moment, Lisa hurriedly wiped the red blood stain from her mouth, and the maid quickly stuffed the bloody handkerchief into her pocket.
They tidied up the bedding and straightened their disheveled clothes and hair.
It was not the skill of having done it once or twice.
And like the first time I came to meet Lisa, she spoke calmly.
“Come in.”
As the door opened, Lisa forcefully stopped her trembling by tightly holding her own hand.
It was an effort and consideration for the one who would be more worried and hurt to see her sick appearance.
Although they had been apart for just a few hours, the Emperor of Eteria approached and warmly embraced Lisa.
“Honey.”
As if to say thank you for being well during those few hours, it was a precious moment for the two, even though it was just a short time.
The Emperor of Eteria casually wiped the blood stain from Lisa’s lips with his thumb.
“I’ve brought the Prime Minister.”
Perhaps the Emperor of Eteria’s soft knock was also a consideration for Lisa, understanding his wife’s desire not to show her sick appearance.
“Oh my. Did Emperor Leonharta allow it?”
Lisa responded energetically, as if she were not sick at all.
“Yes. …But with a strange condition.”
“A condition?”
“Well…”
The Emperor of Eteria tilted his head and glanced at me, who was standing next to him. Wondering why he did so, I tilted my head as well.
“In exchange for receiving the blessing, do not speak to Empress Leonharta. Absolutely do not harbor any ulterior motives…”
I tightly closed my lips, and closed my eyes in embarrassment.
“Can you tell Empress Leonharta thank you for me? Since I can’t talk to her.”
In the same space, the Emperor of Eteria looked at me and asked Lisa to pass on his thanks. Lisa lightly clenched her fist over her mouth and laughed, nodding.
“Teriella. You are loved.”
“…It’s because of a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding.”
The Emperor of Eteria and Lisa continued to converse for a while. And with a kiss on Lisa’s cheek, the Emperor of Eteria entered with Prime Minister Elihu.
“Empress Eteria, I greet you.”
When Elihu entered, the Emperor of Eteria and I naturally stepped back. Elihu, not knowing I was there, sent a pleased smile.
And then he continued his task. He brought his two hands together in prayer and began to chant. As Elihu’s prayer continued, a bright light spread from his hands and soon radiated into Lisa’s body.
“Please. Show me the miracle of the Shrine that I’ve heard in rumors.”
The Emperor of Eteria, who was beside, followed Elihu and folded his hands devoutly, whispering so that only I could hear.
Lisa also followed Elihu and folded her hands devoutly, closing her eyes. The prayer for her beloved one spread widely.
(This is a time separator.)
Even though blessed by Elihu, Lisa’s condition was getting worse. Eventually, Elihu and I left the bedroom before Lisa looked at us with an apologetic face, asking for understanding.
“How is Lisa’s condition?”
“Don’t you guess?”
Elihu slowly shook his head with a dismal expression.
“The fact that we came to the Leonharta Empire is a miracle. There must have been many obstacles on the way.”
Yet coming all the way to the Leonharta Empire might have been a desperate act, hearing about the miracle Elihu performed at the Shrine, grasping at straws.
“Elihu. Can’t you do anything?”
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.
