“Here! It’s a new development. It can digest everything you ate in a week at once. Want to try it?”
“I didn’t eat much sweet, so I think I’m okay.”
“Oh, really? Then, how about this? Just a few drops on your tongue will numb your taste buds for about a day. It’s good to use when you want to eat a lot of sweets.”
“…I don’t think I’ll eat that much sweet.”
Looking at Estelle, who spread out various vials as if she were showing off, Delina responded as if she were used to it.
“Did you release a new product this time, too?”
“Yeah. That’s right. Did you see it, too? The drug that changes color?”
“Yes. I haven’t seen it, but I heard about it. Initially, it’s transparent like water, but it changes color after some time, right?”
“Right. Actually, this is a secret, but I had already developed it when I was an Awakened.”
“Is that so?”
“It was good for avoiding seats at social gatherings. Before the meeting starts, inflate the dress, and as time passes? You can smoothly escape to the lounge, using the excuse that wine spilled on the dress!”
It was a truly Estelle-like idea.
“How about it? Delina, do you want one too? It could come in handy at social gatherings you want to avoid.”
“I can’t say I don’t need it at all. I’ll buy it, so could you send a few to the Ulpherim Ducal House?”
“Ah, what’s with buying between us? Just take them. Take other things too.”
Estelle smiled brightly and handed Delina the vials, and Delina also smiled as she received them. Although the court alchemist had visited several times, Estelle’s passion for inventions was still exceptional.
“Right. Did you come to check the guns again today? Did anything unusual happen?”
“Yes. There is something. Actually, I have a question.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Well… Did you also receive something like an engagement proposal before, Marquess?”
It seemed like consulting with Estelle, who was probably the same in this regard, would be a good idea. Without hesitation, Estelle responded.
“An engagement proposal? Of course, I received several. Most of them were families trying to enter as relatives because I was the heir to the Elphesha Marquess’s family at that time. So, nobles from other empires and kingdoms also came.”
Although Estelle talked about it casually, Delina thought the number must have been enormous. It was only natural, considering that her opponent was an Awakened from the well-known Elphesha Marquess’s family within the continent.
“Come to think of it, the famous families from the Empire all sent someone. No, there were some who didn’t.”
“Where?”
“The Ulpherim Ducal House and the Diamon Viscount House.”
“Oh, there… Maybe because they already knew your taste well?”
Estelle and Delina probably knew that Estelle would prefer wrapping paper for vials rather than engagement letters.
“That’s true. By the way, Delina, are you already at an age to think about marriage? After all, you’ve already undergone the coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Yes. I was a bit surprised when I received an engagement proposal recently. I thought I was already this age.”
“Well, Delina, you’ve grown a lot. But what should I do? I probably don’t know much because I didn’t pay much attention to such things.”
After a brief hesitation, Estelle added.
“But don’t think too seriously about it. If there’s someone you want to meet, just meet them.”
“…”
“Still, wouldn’t Bellion be delighted? That you’ve already reached this age.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. Bellion treats you like his own daughter.”
“But I’m… Originally, I’m a sponsor with Your Highness.”
Delina strongly denied Estelle’s words.
“Of course, I know that Your Highness is doing something for me. But a daughter… it’s a different matter.”
Celin.
It was an unforgettable name during the past few years spent at the Ducal House. Now the time was approaching. The time when Celin would appear at the Ducal House.
“Oh, right. By the way, would it be okay to give the guns a different color? It seems like the paint is peeling off after prolonged use.”
Delina quickly changed the subject.
“Yeah. It shouldn’t matter, right? Just changing the color. Or maybe it would be good to have a special paint for guns. I should research that sometime.”
While Vansent showed genius talent in the field of weapons, Estelle undoubtedly excelled in the field of potions. However, since Estelle also had basic knowledge of guns, occasionally she would inspect the condition of Delina’s guns.
“But now, I probably don’t need to check anymore.”
“Huh?”
“Probably because I can’t surpass the original creator.”
Delina’s eyes widened at Estelle’s cryptic words.
“So, maybe…”
“Yeah. It arrived this morning. It’s about time for the child to wake up.”
As Estelle finished speaking, a shadow loomed over Delina, frighteningly swift.
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.
