“Thinking you can run to a witches’ nest that’s falling apart like rats…”
Carlos couldn’t finish his sentence. A white light suddenly coiled around his neck, pulling his arm as well. Lu, who had been desperately tearing at Carlos’s hand and throwing punches, finally took a deep breath.
The moment the light tore his hand away, Lu fell but quickly got up and drew her sword.
“Ah, I was going to catch you.”
Hayden, who finally caught her, spoke.
“There’s no need for that.”
Lu rejected flatly, ducking to avoid the incoming magic from Carlos.
She had no time for idle talk right now. If she couldn’t even engage in combat, she should be running.
Hayden, who had unleashed the magic, narrowed his eyes at Lu, who was coughing heavily from her choked throat. The white light attacking Carlos intensified.
The fight was so intense that even Lu was scared. In the short span, countless attacks were exchanged. If her vision wasn’t clear, Lu wouldn’t have been able to see. Her skin felt prickly, and her legs wobbled.
‘I’m scared.’
Lu thought as she looked at the man standing in front of her.
It wasn’t Carlos she feared, but Hayden.
The aura and murderous intent all pointed at Carlos. Despite not being targeted, she felt like cowering.
Moreover, Carlos couldn’t fend off Hayden’s attacks, while Hayden twisted his lips into a savage smile.
“So, the Emperor Kaletra is so obsessed with dignity, but that’s because you’ve got none. Crawling in like a rat and what, taking down a knight with bound limbs?”
But something was strange. Lu kept noticing that the white light couldn’t firmly grasp Carlos.
“I learned to be a rat from you. Haven’t you been sneaking around like a thief once or twice? You taught the knight well.”
Carlos countered Hayden fiercely.
“You still don’t understand Lu. That’s why you couldn’t become Emperor of Feruseta. Your caliber is just that.”
“To claim a deteriorating lineage, only someone with a lack of vision like you would do that.”
Is the building alright? Lu looked anxiously around but surprisingly, the tower withstood the clash of these formidable beings well. Could Hayden be taking care of it all?
“Carlos Arthur Ingram, you coward.”
Perhaps it was because of Ophelia, who appeared with that calm voice. She materialized at the other end of the corridor with the wind and walked toward this side. Each step felt weighty. Her blue eyes were brimming with anger, and the aura surrounding her was ominous.
Lu felt suffocated by the killing intent and presence that Carlos, Hayden, and Ophelia emitted.
“Thought you’d be crawling in this dump all your life, Ophelia.”
It was the first time Lu had seen Carlos mock someone like that.
But Lu wasn’t surprised. Only contempt followed. Lu knew that what Carlos would show now would be nothing but the dregs.
“Talkative for someone who not only stole powers that aren’t yours but still can’t digest them completely.”
Ophelia looked like a powerful queen, contrasting her usual graceful and dignified appearance. The star on her waist belt from the western sky shone brilliantly.
“Cowardly guy who only exploits and deceives. You can’t even show up yourself, so you’ve only brought your figure here. No wonder all those who served you without knowing turn their backs as soon as they arrive here.”
For a moment, Carlos’s eyes shifted to Lu. Apparently, Ophelia had hit a raw nerve. Emerald mist ominously extended toward her, but Hayden blocked it.
“Why are you blaming me for the lies you three have been spouting?”
“You’ve gotten into the habit of blaming others again. You doubted Duke Genes the moment you appeared!”
Ophelia, fed up, shouted as she came closer.
“Duke Genes chose to stay here of her own will! She chose Emperor Perseus, not you.”
Upon hearing this, Lu unconsciously looked at Hayden, who smirked.
“You’ve got good judgment, Lu.”
She shouldn’t have looked. Carlos’s face, glaring at her, only grew darker with anger and killing intent.
“That’s not possible.”
No, it wasn’t just anger and killing intent. Strangely, Carlos looked at Lu with desperation.
“You didn’t do it, Rustica, did you?”
Those words sounded oddly like a plea. Unbelievably so.
“Did that guy threaten you?”
Lu suddenly remembered the resignation letter she had carefully written earlier.
Calling her Rustica in a friendly manner now was disgusting. He who did not even listen to Lu, who was beneath him, and who choked her without even giving her a chance to speak, she wanted to shatter his strong, oversized ego.
She wouldn’t ask for more than one blow.
“What threat did that guy make to you?”
His voice softened, but the boundary of light still clashing with Hayden’s emitted an unpleasant noise.
Creak, creak. In this tense situation of clashing forces, Lu rummaged through her pocket and took out the resignation letter envelope.
“He didn’t threaten me; they’ve introduced me to my parents and even gave me a title. They’ve also promised to lift the curse.”
Hayden nodded as she looked at him as if to say, “Right?”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Indeed.”
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.
