Sometimes people make mistakes even when they clearly know.
Taking an exam at school and later grading it, there was nothing as frustrating as getting the questions wrong that you knew. It’s a common occurrence. Being captivated by what is right in front of you and not thinking a bit more carefully is something even a genius knight occasionally falls victim to.
In fact, upon reflection, it was such an obvious thing. Roo had already heard the story.
The sage in the central region, according to tradition, is always taken by the Emperor Perseta.
Roderick Callerhan, a former member of the Kaletta Imperial Knights and a disciple of the western sage, had explained it to Roo in Matop early on.
A lifelong honorary position.
Honorary position. Literally, a position given as an honor. In reality, it was a position where the power given was symbolic, just sitting in a position of honor.
Hayden being the central sage was literally because he was the emperor.
So where did that overwhelming power that surpassed all other sages come from? He was so overwhelming that he even forgot that the emperor, who was a central sage, had an honorary position.
‘Ah, I’m really foolish.’
Roo wanted to gently slap herself for not realizing the obvious.
“The central sage is literally an honorary position, so you can be humble. You’re already humble up to Matopju, so why can’t you be humble in other positions?”
With just a little change of perspective, it was so obvious, how could she not know!
“You originally heard that you’re not from the direct line but from the collateral line. So, Carlos Aser Ingram, if he hadn’t incited a rebellion, there was no possibility of becoming emperor.”
The boy, who had dreamt of playing with the titles, lands, and property inherited from the collateral line, smiled.
“So, so, you could have become another sage. I think that was the Northern Sage. Sophie Claris, the sage who disappeared because of Carlos. You were the successor to that sage.”
What are the criteria for becoming the successor to a sage? Roo thought that at least the criterion ‘not from a certain lineage’ was not included in the very human criteria. Roo, who was also a graduate of the Kaletta Academy and a southern sage, is there a law that a sage should not become a sage just because they are nobles?
“Were you born in the North?”
Hayden nodded quickly to Roo, who spoke very fast.
“That’s right. I was born in the South. Yes. So, you were born as the successor to the sage. But Carlos, that damned son of a bitch, did that terrible thing.”
“I don’t like calling his name, but I like the modifier. ”
Hayden murmured with satisfaction as Roo disliked calling Carlos by name.
“So, you’re the only one left to inherit the throne. Ironically, as the successor to the Northern Sage, you also became the successor to the Beler Dynasty. Because only you remained.”
“Because only I remained.”
He nodded.
“Right?”
At the words confirming while rolling her eyes, Hayden burst into laughter.
“Since when has it been like this? I don’t know.”
“No, this is my hypothesis, so now you have to check it.”
“I didn’t submit an answer, did I? Then I have to grade it.”
“There’s no such thing; we’re on the same side! We help each other! We check before submitting answers! We check before submitting answers!”
Hayden began to laugh as if he had suddenly lost a screw.
“Since when has it been like this? I don’t know.”
“I’ve been like this since I picked you up. And I can’t change it. We have to go together for a lifetime because we’ve shared a secret. So, is it right? Hurry up. I have to answer to Lady Ophelia.”
“Lustica Genesis Kye. Were you a person who used such a roundabout method? I know you graduated at the top of the Kaletta Knight Academy, but did you check your answers with the professor like this every time you took an exam?”
When he clenched his fist loosely, his thick biceps and chest muscles bulged even more.
“You can ask the professor questions before the exam! And if you think asking questions is difficult, you can never be the top scorer. And we’re on the same side. We have to help each other and live together.”
Roo widened her eyes and countered. To become the top scorer, this level was necessary. Isn’t this quite straightforward?
“Oh, the same side.”
After nodding, Hayden leaned slightly, approaching Roo. His gaze was somewhat suspicious. Roo pulled back. She put pressure on her waist and legs, stepping on the bed floor and slowly retreated.
“Even if we’re on the same side, there should be some give and take in a relationship, our Sage.”
Hayden placed his arm around her, and with his other hand, he started unbuttoning his shirt. This crazy, insane emperor! That’s why you have to be careful with all your actions in front of children. Running around without knowing the limits made her tired to the point of exhaustion.
“We’ve had enough give and take in our relationship. If we add more, I won’t be able to attend the banquet tomorrow.”
No, in fact, living a normal life was already impossible.
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.
