Roo walked at a moderate distance behind Emperor Fersecta.
Her mind whirred in confusion before it all drained out, leaving her feeling completely futile.
Emperor Fersecta had obviously transcended human boundaries, and Roo had not fully understood Fersecta.
All she knew was that there were no magic users here. That seemed to lead to a relatively advanced development in science. That was all she knew.
What’s the use of fussing over this? While this Emperor was recklessly blundering about, the other Emperor was detecting everything and evaluating it as if looking into the palm of his hand.
‘How did he notice?’
Well, the fact that someone had secretly crossed the barrier and appeared at the edge of Momentum was a dead giveaway.
He had detected the trace of Emperor Carlos of Kaleta, who she thought was the strongest in the world. Moreover, from the way he talked, it was certain that he had seen Carlos appear yesterday.
A cold sweat trickled down the back of her neck. By now, it had all been a total disaster from the start. And Roo had come here to die in that ruined place.
“I didn’t ascend to the throne in a normal, peaceful way, so I thought this was enough. But I have to do this, and that, there’s so much to say.”
With her heart shriveled, Roo only quietly listened to the casual words of Emperor Fersecta. He was no different from a predator playing with a trapped mouse.
He would play with it at will, and once he was bored, he’d crush it to death.
“Duke Gennes.”
Seeing only his feet, Roo had been walking stiffly. But when those feet stopped, she hesitated. She looked into the eyes of Emperor Fersecta, who had turned around.
What was he thinking? The barrage of Scakaman magic beasts at the barrier and the giant monster she saw in the wilderness yesterday came to mind.
“Do you know how to dance?”
“…Dance, my lord? Dance?”
She looked at Emperor Fersecta, who nodded, and murmured inwardly that there were indeed many ways to play with a mouse.
“Not at all. I am not of noble birth, Your Majesty.”
“Here, even if you’re not of noble birth, most can dance, Duke. It’s the same in Kaleta.”
Strictly speaking, it was true that Roo hadn’t even attempted such a thing.
Even when she was in school and other students dreamed of rebellious escapades, she devoted herself solely to studying, swordsmanship, and magic. Since there were no parents to rein her in, she couldn’t afford to slack off.
“But not me.”
She didn’t know why, but Roo strongly shook her head. But, as always, Emperor Fersecta cheerfully nodded.
“Good.”
Ah, could she survive today? Roo slowly began to feel it harder to maintain her composure. She had been so tense that her whole body had been tingling since the morning.
Every day she lived, wondering if she would die today or survive tomorrow.
“Come this way.”
Emperor Fersecta’s stride wasn’t wide for his long legs. Plus, he walked slowly, so it was easy to follow. She glanced around the empty corridor before she opened her dry mouth.
“Your Majesty, about what you said earlier…”
How should she, as a Duke, behave? It didn’t matter what happened to the likes of Carlos Arthur Ingram, but young knights and enlisted soldiers dying horribly at the barrier shouldn’t happen.
“As the Duke of Kaleta, I…”
Emperor Fersecta cut her off abruptly.
“Duke Gennes is quite tactless.”
That bastard! Roo very seriously considered contacting the columnist who had viciously written an article about their mutual hatred.
Hello, since we both hate this guy, let’s be friends.
“Crossing the border of someone else’s country is a big deal.”
The Emperor quickly closed the distance she had been desperately maintaining at three paces or more.
I was dying to know, but I was terribly careless. How desperate I must have been to have to hide my ears so no one could see. Ah, I’m not blaming the embassy, I’m blaming Emperor Kaleta. Don’t misunderstand.”
“You mean you were near the embassy last night.”
“I love taking a walk in the diplomatic district. Sometimes I go near, so I stop by the Kaleta embassy.”
She simply chose not to say anything. After all, Emperor Perseus spoke for himself.
“Anyway, back to the point. I’ve caused such a big problem, but if the embassy cooperates today, doesn’t it mean I’ll just let it go?”
The words ‘Are you so oblivious?’ were omitted, but clearly followed.
“I still don’t know what you mean, but if Your Majesty needs my help, it’s my job to cooperate whenever.”
‘I’ll cooperate because you let it go, but that doesn’t mean I admit it!’ was the meaning.
And since Lu didn’t basically trust Emperor Perseus, she didn’t believe his words about letting it go.
“I happened to need someone who can’t dance at all.”
“What do you want me to do?”
She was somehow anxious. In the meantime, having reached another large door, the emperor himself opened the door and led her inside.
“What. A dance partner. Don’t be so nervous, Ambassador.”
Inside was a surprisingly large hall with a ceiling three stories high. Several chandeliers were lowered, and the right wall was filled with huge windows.
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.
