Grayan slowly turned his head. And through the butterflies perched on his shoulder, I too could glimpse the owner of the voice.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, a beauty that made one’s eyes widen in awe.
She did not have a rich or flamboyant appearance. Modest and graceful… Yes, it felt exactly like she was a ‘good person,’ one who could easily dismantle anyone’s guard.
‘This must be…’
It smells of a cult religion!
I had an abrupt hunch. Memories from Korea came flooding back. Those cult religion missionaries I frequently encountered on the streets!
‘May I have a word with you…’
‘Wow, you have a really good face for fortunetelling.’
‘Excuse me, can I ask you a few survey questions…’
‘What’s your MBTI?’
This woman, she had exactly the same vibe as them!
“Why is such a cute little one wandering around here alone… Where are your parents…?”
The woman’s speaking tone was so soft and sweet. Unknowing children would be mistaken to think, ‘She is really a kind person.’
However,
‘Her eyes are demented…’
Upon closer inspection, the woman had the eyes of a madman deeply engaged in a cult.
It’s always best to avoid such people. There’s nothing good to come of engaging with them! The problem is, avoiding this suspicious woman is less of a priority than actively engaging with her!
‘This woman might be involved with the kidnapping of beast children.’
No wonder, the butterflies have been…
{I feel bad.}
{I think I’m going to throw up.}
{A bad energy is flowing.}
{I smell death from this woman.}
That’s right, they were chattering about something so ominous.
‘The smell of death…’
…It feels strong. Not a good sign.
“…I got lost. My parents are… not here…”
Grayan bowed his head, clutching the hem of his clothing with his small hands.
…I was momentarily stunned with admiration. This person’s acting is topnotch!
‘Even a con artist would be fooled!’
With acting that good, there’s no chance of being discovered. …If that woman is truly one of the beast child kidnappers, the real question is how deep her abyss is.
“Oh dear, that’s terrible… Where are you staying…? A relative’s house? An orphanage…?”
“…At a relative’s house, but…”
As the woman asked with an air of pity, Grayan made an even darker expression and moistened his lips.
At this point, even I was curious about what storytelling Grayan would proceed with. To think that Grayan had this kind of talent!
“…I don’t want to go back to that house.”
“Oh my… Why?”
“Because, that house is…”
With a shadowed face, Grayan hesitated, then with a choked expression, he continued,
“In that house, I… every day, get scolded… and only get beaten.”
“Oh dear…”
The woman sighed as if truly disheartened, and reached out to touch Grayan’s shoulder.
Grayan flinched in surprise at that moment. …What should I say? It was a reaction that could not be identified as acting or real.
“Poor thing… It seems your relatives are bad people…”
“…”
“Child, if it’s alright… will you come with me…? I work at a facility that helps children like you, who have nowhere to go…”
“…A facility, you say? Like an orphanage?”
“In a way, yes. It’s a facility run by our ‘Salvation Society’… If you come, there will be tasty snacks and a warm bed…”
The woman smiled sweetly. Being so beautiful, she looked almost like a saint. Any child that wasn’t overly suspicious would likely be easily fooled.
‘But Salvation Society…’
What is it, that even the name reeks of a cult group?
‘Is this woman truly a beast child kidnapper? Or simply a missionary of a cult religion?’
Either way, it doesn’t feel good. The words of the butterflies also weigh on my mind…
“Let’s go… It’s okay, I’m a good person…”
…I’ve never seen someone who calls themselves a ‘good person’ and actually has good character. Anyway, Grayan hesitated for a moment and then gently took the woman’s extended hand.
All the actions were too natural to be acting, and he really looked like a poor child who had lost his parents.
“Shall we… go…?”
The woman smiled and led Grayan somewhere. Grayan meekly followed the woman, glancing over his shoulder. It was where transparent butterflies were perched.
{Yes, we are here!}
{Though you may not see us!}
{You may not hear what we say!}
{Anyway, don’t worry! We will protect you!}
The butterflies fluttered their wings frantically at Grayan. These mindless forms were visible only to me. That is, one butterfly saw the other butterflies through its eyesight.
‘It’s quite a strange experience…’
Anyway, the successfully “kidnapped” Grayan continued to play the innocent child, following the woman, while the knights and I prepared to use the mobility magic tool, ready to support Grayan at any moment.
No matter how great a skill he has, and even if he is the leader of the wolves, the alpha wolf, he can’t plunge alone into a group of unknown origin.
“We’re almost there… See? If you go down that alley, it’s just right there…”
The alley the woman pointed at looked narrow and dark, very suspicious.
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.
