At the entrance of the mountain, there were three people from the Ainsten Kingdom.
They were all dressed quite well, seeming to be from the affluent class, but their faces showed signs of tiredness.
Seeing the dark circles under their eyes, it seemed like they hadn’t slept well due to their travels, perhaps?
“Kyahng.”
The rabbit in my arms made a threatening sound, swinging its front paws towards them.
Yeah, I get it. I don’t like those people either.
With a hostile feeling, I approached them and spoke in a cold voice.
“Hey, you three.”
“…?”
Certainly, this is a specialty of a villainess.
I’ll freely use Gloria’s villainess image.
Turning around to face me, the three of them wore confused and awkward expressions.
After glancing at the rabbit in my arms and my companions behind me –
As if they suddenly realized something, they clapped their hands rather than applauding.
“Oh! You must be the Beastkin travelers from another town! Nice to meet you! Haha.”
…These people, don’t they know Gloria…?
Well, that’s okay; they might not know. It’s fine if I tell them.
About to open my mouth again, Ainsten 1, showing interest in the rabbit, asked.
“Is this rabbit here possibly a rabbit Beastkin? Then, are you…?”
“…….”
Alternating my gaze between me and April, their eyes sparkled brightly… What’s this…? This somewhat creepy but seemingly harmless attitude…?
“We are researchers from the Ainsten Royal Academy! We are traveling to investigate the lifestyle of Beastkin!”
Academy… Researchers…?
Some knowledge surfacing in my mind.
So, the researchers from the academy mean –
{Something like graduate students lol}
{Ah, funny lol, these guys look tired like graduate students.}
{Dark circles from staying up all night for research ㅠㅠ}
“…….”
That’s what it was.
These three… are not kidnappers, human traffickers, or slave traders…
‘Researchers genuinely obsessed with academic fervor…’
…It seems that way.
The slight shiver was… feeling their madness for research…
“What kind of Beastkin are those behind you…?? Ah, they don’t seem to be rabbit Beastkin at all…! I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable!”
“Um, may I ask the rabbit, too?”
“I’d like to ask a bit, too…”
“Woongkyet.”
My eyes widened.
Indeed, there are people like them in the Ainsten Kingdom.
Well, yeah – it’s possible. If I tell them, they’ll know.
But, as I was about to speak, they began to have a conversation with Grayan from Ainsten.
“…So, um…”
I suddenly came to my senses and focused on that voice. It’s not the time to be absent-minded.
“Oh, I see…! In fact, we also came after hearing rumors that a Azure Dragon Beastkin lives in this mountain… But, judging by what you’re saying, it seems difficult to see the Azure Dragon Beastkin directly…”
I couldn’t hear what Grayan was saying, but judging by the Ainstenians’ reactions, he seemed to have persuaded them well. It seemed they were convincing us not to climb this mountain.
“Well, it’s a shame, but we better return to the village… If you happen to meet the Azure Dragon Beastkin, please! Be sure to tell us about it!”
“From a Rabbit Beastkin to a Dog Beastkin, and even a Black Mamba Beastkin! It was nice to meet such diverse Beastkin…! Thank you for sharing your stories!”
Meanwhile, Arwin was pretending to be a Black Mamba Beastkin again. Well, it might be less annoying this way.
After the Ainsten Kingdom people left, we officially entered the mountain path.
As expected, the mountain path was steep and rugged, making it challenging for climbing unless you were a seasoned mountaineer.
“Ugh…”
So, without saying a word, I was practically dying. While tapping my knees and trying to catch my breath, Grayan, looking at me with a concerned expression, suggested.
“Madam, if you find it difficult, I can carry you.”
“Ah… No, it’s okay…”
“Kyaungit!”
“April also says it would be better if you did.”
Grayan pretended to understand April’s words. The little guy had moved to Arwin’s arms to comfort me.
Glancing at the rabbit with its round eyes, I let out a deep sigh.
There’s no other choice. I can’t burden a child with my worries…
“Well then… I’ll ask within the limits that don’t strain you too much.”
“It won’t be a burden at all, Madam.”
Smiling gently, Grayan sat in front of me and offered his back.
I hesitated for a moment and then carefully got on his back. The warmth coming from his closely pressed body was surprisingly warm.
‘His back is broad, so it’s quite stable…’
Why do I feel embarrassed thinking like this?
“Well then, please hold on tight, Madam.”
Nodding, I tightly embraced Grayan’s neck.
Soon, Grayan started climbing the mountain at a rapid pace. It was almost like running.
Astounded, I quickly looked around. The rest of the party was also speeding up like Grayan, even my maid Anna!
‘Again, in this world, I’m the only weak one!’
Beastkin must be lucky. Their physical abilities are excellent…
‘I wish I were a Beastkin, especially if I’m going to be transmigrated…’
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.
