“Who took her?”
“After you danced, Miss disappeared, so I looked for her, but… it seems like Count Floren’s house took her.”
Duke Bellion’s face wasn’t so good as he heard Felic’s report. Kidnapping a noble’s daughter from the palace was virtually an impossible story. However, if those who took Delina away were from Count Floren’s house, the story changed.
“Count Floren’s house is where that clown originally belonged.”
Edwin spoke instead of Bellion.
“Then there’s no way to stop it. Even if it’s you.”
Currently, the place where Delina officially belonged was Count Floren’s house. So if someone from Count Floren’s house wanted to take Delina, even if the opponent was the Ulphrium Duke, nothing could be done.
“Taking her back to Ulphrium would be a kidnapping indeed.”
“…That’s correct.”
That was why Felic, unable to handle it on his own, had reported to Bellion. Felic and Edwin’s gazes were focused on Bellion. Bellion, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, opened his mouth.
“Did the clown go there on her own?”
“No. According to the palace knights, it seemed like she was forcibly taken.”
“Then it’s settled.”
With those words, Bellion slowly moved his feet. Edwin asked from behind.
“Going? To fetch that young lady?”
“…”
“Do you know? The moment you go to that Count’s house, the ripple effect will be enormous.”
Bellion and the Ulphrium Duke, who received attention wherever they went and whatever they did. The very fact that he was going to Count Floren’s house would attract people’s attention.
“It’s sure to spread to the palace as well… and then the young lady will be noticed too.”
Delina, naturally under the sharp eye of Haire, who was always keenly watching the Ulphrium Duke, couldn’t escape notice. And that wasn’t necessarily good.
“She might be in danger if you’re careless. Will you go to rescue her even then?”
A silence fell between the two men at Edwin’s question, which seemed to drive home the point.
(This is a time separator.)
“Miss. Are you okay?”
At the eastern side of Count Floren’s mansion. Lilia, standing in front of the attic door in the corner building, asked with a worried face. She looked at Delina, who was trapped inside, holding food.
“I’ve brought something to eat and drink. Please have it.”
“Thank you, Lilia.”
Watching Delina quietly take the food, Lilia started to choke up.
“What’s going on, Miss? Do you know how happy I was when I first heard that you had come back? But why are you trapped like this?”
All the servants were happy to see Delina brought back to the mansion after the debutante ball. But that happiness was shortlived as Niel and Charlotte locked Delina in the attic right away.
[If you don’t tell us where you got that sponsorship, we have no choice but to lock you in the attic.] [Delina. Understand? We don’t want to punish you, but sometimes discipline is necessary.]‘Discipline? If you’re going to lock me up, at least put me in a room.’
In fact, the discipline was just an excuse, and they were watching Delina closely in case she escaped from the mansion again. Having lived in the attic for years, Delina was sick of it.
‘They even took my dress…’
Charlotte had already taken away the dress Delina wore at the debutante ball. It was clear where the dress had gone. The thought of Jane wearing her dress made her so angry that her whole body twisted.
“I’m fine. So don’t cry like that.”
“But still. You must have had a hard time outside, and now you’re trapped in the attic again…”
“Hard time? I was really fine, you know?”
Of course, she had almost been killed by wolves, almost killed by Bellion in his bedroom, and had many other neardeath experiences. If Delina told Lilia the whole story, she might faint. But the fact that she was fine was no lie.
“Look at this. They fed me well there, and I even gained weight.”
“It does seem a little like that.”
“…Was that just a saying, or did I really gain weight?”
Lilia, sobbing, acknowledged Delina’s words and touched her belly with a serious face.
“Anyway, Miss. Right now, those two are probably just surprised that you’ve disappeared. I’ll quickly ask for you to be able to come down from the attic.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. The other servants are also worried about you so much. So, don’t worry too much and just hold on a little longer, Miss!”
Lilia, who had cheered up again, quickly went downstairs. Delina, watching her back, smiled and went towards the window with food in hand.
“…….”
Looking down through the small window, the only source of light and wind, Delina realized she was at a considerable height. From a glance, it looked impossible to jump down from; Delina chewed her bread, sopping it up.
Should I just close my eyes and jump down?
Of course, she’d have to be prepared to break something, but it was essentially a huge gamble. The knights and servants she would encounter if she broke the attic door and ran away were the problem. She couldn’t overpower even a child of her age, let alone an adult, with her current ability.
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.
