Even just before fainting, Klaus was tender towards her, whatever wind had blown into him. Despite knowing she was a man. His kindness and tenderness were sometimes burdensome, but after being sick, she felt a bit grateful. Whether it was rescuing her from the Denver incident or something else, she thought she should properly express her gratitude. At the moment she contemplated this, a familiar carriage stopped in front of the mansion.
It was the Duke’s carriage driven by Klaus.
“Speaking of the devil.”
Behind the blunt comment from Kloset, Klaus appeared with a neat appearance as he got off the carriage. Seeing him looking more masculine and robust than usual, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Wondering if he would come closer and pretend not to know her, Roselia, swallowing dry saliva, looked at him cautiously. However, Klaus passed by without looking at her for a moment, leaving her momentarily surprised.
Did he not see her?
When he got off the carriage, their eyes had definitely met…
As if representing her inner thoughts, Kloset responded in a bewildered manner.
“What? Why didn’t you pretend to know when you were worried? Did something happen outside?”
As Kloset spoke, was there something bad happening outside? With a puzzled expression, Roselia thought that she should personally go to Klaus to say hello, and she cautiously sipped her teacup.
Standing in front of Klaus’s office, a tense Roselia calmed her anxious heart and delicately knocked on the door.
“Lord, it’s Antonio.”
Contrary to her tension, the answer from beyond the door came quickly.
“Come in.”
Opening the door cautiously and stepping inside, she observed Klaus’s expression.
Contrary to her expectations of something bad happening outside, he was as indifferent as usual, flipping through documents.
Sensing his gaze staring at her face, he looked at her and asked calmly.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
As he said that, he put down the documents and put on his gloves, making it seem as if he was waiting for something she had to say.
Reacting to his unexpected response, Roselia, initially bewildered, averted her gaze and tried to speak casually.
“Well… the incident in Denver and even when I collapsed this time, I feel like I caused you a lot of worry. I came to properly express my gratitude.”
Roselia’s words seemed to be unexpected, and one of Klaus’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Gratitude… that’s fine. Antonio…”
At that moment, Klaus’s gaze, as if penetrating her, made Roselia meet his eyes with innocent confusion.
“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”
“Anything else…?”
Looking at Roselia with innocent eyes, Klaus sighed deeply.
“Did you know that you’re a Laphelios descendant?”
Ah, was that it?
Roselia thought the question he asked was related to the lineage, and she opened her mouth firmly.
“No, I don’t know about that either. It’s just speculation about whether there might have been someone related to the lineage among our distant ancestors…”
“Besides that, is there anything else you’re hiding?”
“Hiding something?”
Seeing Roselia’s face, seemingly ignorant of everything, Klaus, reminded of the previous night, felt a sense of unfairness.
Having made her so desperate in her sleep, could she really not remember?
It seemed certain that she couldn’t remember, judging by her innocent face.
How could she not remember that day?
Even though he spends every night staying awake because of that day, how could she maintain such an innocent face?
Moreover, did he really think he wouldn’t know her true identity until the end? Klaus, with his twisted pride, slowly rose and approached Roselia. Sensing the unusual atmosphere in Klaus’s intense gaze, Roselia unconsciously took a step back. Before she knew it, her back touched the wall, and she looked up at him with a bewildered expression.
“Is there really nothing hidden?”
Could it be… did he notice that the real Antonio had appeared?
No, if that were the case, and she knew she was hiding her true identity and imitating Antonio, he would have drawn his sword.
Come to think of it, Antonio’s mentioned two-week deadline was approaching.
Klaus, holding her chin as if warning her, whispered in a low voice, “Antonio, how much patience do you think I have?”
She was startled by his strong legs pressing between Roselia’s thighs, and she involuntarily held her breath.
“So, please, if only you had heard it from your own mouth.”
“With my mouth… What…”
In response to Roselia’s bewildered voice, Klaus twisted his lips.
“Do I have to tell you myself?”
Klaus, who had been leaning against the wall, suddenly leaned his elbow against it.
As a result, the distance between them narrowed in an instant, and they reached the point where their breaths touched each other’s noses.
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.
