The Demon King rules, and I’m to be a diplomat in the country where the demons are rampaging?
All this time, I’ve been just a knight, unable to fully utilize my magic and swordsmanship, only getting mocked and eventually quitting.
I can’t even use simple magic. I’ve been focusing on being a knight, but now I can’t be one. Rustica has become a cripple.
Before Rustica was knighted, the Emperor who had cherished her greatly when she was a promising genius at the Academy, didn’t look back at her once she lost her talent.
And suddenly, after 4 years, I should be thankful to be sent as a diplomat to a highly dangerous country? Who do you think you’re treating like a dog? Did you think you could throw me away and then wag your tail and come back?
“Hey, Rustica.”
“Tell them I’m dead. That I died suddenly from alcohol poisoning. Damn it.”
I’m already so angry that I’m drinking sip by sip, and I might really drown in alcohol today at this rate.
“Think about your age. You were the valedictorian at the Academy, it’s too much of a waste. Can’t you think of it as a good opportunity to build a new career?”
“What, hey, Aldwin Rochester. Do you see this as a good opportunity?”
Recently appointed diplomat Rustica Gennes pointed at the command.
“It’s telling me to go die. Telling me, who can’t even deal with demons, to go die.”
“It’s not like that either. Of course, we’ve been in a state of war until now, but we can talk now.”
Aldwin sighed, trying somehow to persuade Rustica.
“I volunteered too. I said I’ll go with you.”
“What, you madman?”
Rustica’s voice rose, and her face turned to shock.
“You need protection now too.”
“Why are you going beyond the barrier!”
It was absurd to see a nobleman, who was already inherited a baronetcy and would inherit his father’s earldom just by being still, smiling faintly.
“I really have to write a will before going. You know? Pick someone without family or attachment like me, even if you tell them to go to a place they don’t want to.”
In her late teens, Rustica, who was driven to the barrier just before being knighted, survived by fighting like a demon, drenched in the body fluids of the demons.
She was able to graduate from the academy and be knighted only after proving herself as an outstanding knight.
The Academy, where real combat in the barrier was the graduation exam, was indeed a dreadful place. She had fought since she was young, so she knew very well how terrifying and dreadful the demons were.
A country filled with such terrifying and fearsome things. Even thinking about it gave her the chills.
“No. It’s not that bad. His Majesty cherishes you very much, Rustica.”
Rustica gave up talking to Aldwin at that point.
She saw in him her old self. A fanatic who unconditionally believed in, respected, and followed the Emperor just because he said so.
In the Calleta Empire, anyone who opposed the Emperor’s will and doubted him became a traitor. That’s how it was.
Carlos Arthur Ingram’s empire, the country ruled by the god named Carlos Arthur Ingram for over four hundred years.
The Emperor was a great wizard who had transcended human limits and founded Calleta. The Empire was still ruled by its founding ancestor.
‘Why hasn’t such a great being thought of going beyond the barrier?’
Rustica scoffed inwardly, remembering once again the exact moment she had lost all her talent. Right after she had appealed to the Emperor to go beyond the barrier.
“He knew you were here. He was waiting for you to come back.”
In other words, there was nowhere to run from the Emperor, and she dared not oppose his will. Rustica, no matter how much she hated him, saw clearly what was to come and drank more.
The Emperor had deliberately sent Aldwin Rochester. He was the most suitable person to stubbornly pursue her, preach blind faith in the Emperor, and bring her back.
And Rustica considered herself somewhat indebted to Aldwin.
“And Rustica, you wanted to go beyond the barrier more than anything else, didn’t you? Don’t you think it’s a golden opportunity to bring back those who were drawn there?”
The emperor of the Caletta Empire was very cunning.
[Star Icon]Whether dying in the cabin or dying beyond the barrier, death is the same. The word that one could go beyond the barrier sounded extremely tempting, but even if it was a lie, there was nothing left in Rustica’s life.
She knew she had to go anyway. It was pretty obvious.
“The emperor truly thinks a lot about you, Rustica.”
That sound was especially so.
“If you say that one more time, I will kick you out and sit back here. Shut up from now on.”
As Aldwin quickly closed his mouth, Rustica finally began to clean the house. Well, there wasn’t much to call home. She always packed lightly so she could leave at any time, and she struggled not to increase her belongings.
Only the disposal of the food that she saved a little more for Hayden was a problem. This was something she could share with neighboring houses along with herbs.
The tidying was very quick. Since Aldwin helped, the cabin emptied quickly.
“Will you come back?”
Aldwin asked.
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.
