In a space where only silence flowed, the gazes of two people collided forcefully, neither one looking away first.
‘Why is he looking at me like that?’
Evenel wanted to know the meaning behind Shuher’s gaze.
“Why have you been looking at me like that since earlier? More than that, I’d like you to let go of this.”
Shuher obediently loosened the grip on her hand at her request.
“It’s bothersome.”
“What are you talking about?”
Since he had openly said it was bothersome, she naturally didn’t feel good about it. If she were to argue, it seemed like something she should have said.
Shuher spoke honestly and without reservation about what he had felt when he looked at her.
“From the beginning to the end, everything. Even that look in your eyes as if you had anticipated this situation, your tone. It seems more reasonable to think that someone else came in place of the original young lady.”
Staring into her pitchblack eyes like the night sky, Evenel felt as though she might unwittingly speak.
Who was inside the noble young lady’s appearance?
It was natural to have such suspicion since she had heard about how this body had been before. Therefore, she absolutely couldn’t show any cracks.
She had to prevent the misfortune of everything being revealed to the man in front of her.
“I was abandoned and lived outside of everyone’s attention. Therefore, it may be more reasonable to say that not all the information about me is true.”
Shuher could understand that far, one hundred times over. But there was still one thing that remained incomprehensible.
“What about your shooting skills then? You seemed quite adept at handling a gun.”
“I trained discreetly, away from people’s eyes, because I was interested.”
“The young lady?”
“Is there a reason why I shouldn’t? I just did it because I liked it.”
Since there was no lie in her words, Evenel could say it confidently. If she had only continued shooting for the visible result, she wouldn’t have achieved this level of skill.
There was still a lingering question for Shuher, but all of it now had no meaning. And she seemed to be still unaware of the reason.
“I definitely said that. What’s with Ao Din and all the others? Already, the reputation of the young lady is not good……”
“Regarding that part…… I will apologize.”
As soon as the words of apology came out of Evenel’s mouth, Shuher didn’t hide his perplexed expression. She had bluntly criticized him, but now she was obediently apologizing.
Reading his thoughts from his expression, Evenel also made an awkward face. But soon her eyes became serious.
She hadn’t noticed at that time because of the situation, but now, thinking calmly, she realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have.
She was angry that she had put Lia in danger, but regardless, what was wrong was wrong.
“At that time, I was excited, and the words came out without going through my head. It was something I shouldn’t have said.”
It was a mistake that the usual Evenel would never make. But given the situation and thinking of Aran’s incident, she lost her composure.
“Are you begging for your life now? Anyway, you survived.”
“No. I’m just acknowledging that I was wrong.”
Even though he purposely provoked her, her gaze staring at him didn’t waver even a little.
That’s why there was more resentment. In Shuher’s position, Evenel was nothing short of an enemy.
“What’s the meaning of you saying that?”
Evenel honestly revealed the emotions she felt at the desperate moment just before Lia was torn to death by a demon.
“When I faced the fact that I couldn’t protect even one of my people, I felt emotions that words can’t describe. Helplessness, a sense of defeat, even contempt for myself. If it weren’t for me, Lia wouldn’t have had to go through such agony.”
She had felt those excruciating emotions when she had to send Aran away without power.
Then suddenly she thought, ‘Maybe the Emperor, this person, felt the same way.’
I thought His Majesty might have faced even deeper despair. If he had no choice but to watch his own people die before his eyes. Of course, I cannot presume to fathom that depth myself.
Shuher, while calmly listening to her thoughts, clenched his hands tightly on his knees.
Then, unable to control his boiling emotions at her last words, he roughly shoved Evenel’s shoulders, trapping her with his arms as she fell on the bed.
Evenel was momentarily taken aback but quickly found his eyes flickering black and closed her mouth. What she saw was an unfathomable rage.
“It’s not something for someone of Aodin to utter. You must have forgotten the bloody tragedy that happened here 20 years ago, Aodin.”
‘Bloody tragedy?’
Of course, Evenel wouldn’t have known. What specifically happened between the two empires in the past.
Whether he thought she was pretending not to know, Shuher’s cold voice reached her ear.
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.
