With just one reply, this little guy who was jumping and flapping his wings, eagerly chirping, how should she deal with him? Loo let the huge man she couldn’t hold back hug her without stopping him from doing what he wanted.
When standing in front of the public as the Emperor and being in front of Loo, Hayden was an entirely different person. Hugging her with all his might, Hayden looked even more excited than usual. He seemed even freer.
Well, he had to show a stronger side in front of the nobles. Loo buried her face in his neck and patted his shoulder.
“What were you doing?”
The white falcon flew away to the wide-open window, perching on the sill and starting to pick its feathers. It was cool and somewhat dark here. In the center of the room, there was a large desk filled with tools, and nearby shelves and a table in front of the sofa were stacked with boxes haphazardly.
“Were you busy?”
Hayden, who had seated her on the sofa, just nodded.
“You came at the right time. I guessed your wrist size for the bracelet, but this one is a bit ambiguous.”
What? Watching Hayden walk toward the desk, Loo glanced at the boxes piled on the table. They were all wooden boxes with glass lids, so the contents inside were clearly visible.
“What’s this? Huh?”
Oh my. Loo realized that the boxes stacked carelessly, like stacking newspapers, were filled with sparkling sets of jewelry.
“Oh, take anything you want.”
“What is this? Where did it come from?”
“It belonged to Moiqufel. It’s a set of jewels used with the weapon during the assassination attempt. We confiscated them all.”
The jewels confiscated from the Moiqufel Duchy, which was the most pretentious among the Alsmone Alliance but lacked substance, were very diverse. In the darkness and shadows, the sparkling jewel sets were carelessly stacked away from the window.
“The Imperial Treasury vault in Persepta turned out to be much more meager than expected, so I wondered what happened.” Hayden looked at her coldly, holding a small and delicate pen.
“There were many mice,” he said with a cool smile.
“But is it okay to leave it like this?”
“I’m still sorting it out, so there’s nothing I can do. There are sets that belonged to the imperial family and sets that belonged to lower-ranking nobles under Moiqufel.”
Emeralds, sapphires, amethysts, aquamarines—jewels of various colors were all surrounded by diamonds and crafted into various shapes, sleeping peacefully. It was a collection that made your mouth involuntarily open wide.
“If Moiqufel alone has this much, what about elsewhere?”
To what extent? Without completing her sentence, Loo moved away from the stack of boxes.
“Moiqufel Duke said that jewels symbolize wealth and especially had a lot of them. So he reached out for the imperial jewels with magical properties as well. It seems like they’ve been collecting them for generations.”
Hayden spoke lightly, grabbing Loo’s shoulder and bringing her forward again.
“Pick what you like. It’s all yours.”
He kissed her pale cheek. For a while, Loo stared at the pile of boxes with a serious expression, unable to articulate her words. She raised her hand to cover Hayden’s knuckles as he gripped her shoulder.
“It’s not mine, though. They stole everything from the imperial family to swell their own pockets, didn’t they?”
It wouldn’t be just jewels. Many things, which Hayden should have inherited, were looted. It was breathtaking that the Imperial Treasury vault was emptied, considering the empire’s status and long history. Loo’s lips trembled, and her voice quivered. Hayden embraced her tightly from behind.
“Let’s get everything back.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll retrieve everything for you.”
“Okay.”
Hayden nodded with a smile.
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.
