As the price for snatching others’ power, what on earth did Carlos do? Ophelia thought of the children of Belle Hwangjo, who had been used as experimental subjects, and countless talents who had been noticeably dying for 430 years in Carlos’s eyes.
The price for mighty power was never justified.
“Miss Ophelia.”
Roo reached out her hand.
“Hmm? Why?”
Ophelia reflexively smiled and held that hand.
And as soon as she held it, she had to be surprised. The tremendous power of the Southern Sage pushed into her, or more precisely, the curse that still bound her, surged towards her.
“Miss Genesis, you mustn’t overdo it. I clearly said that…!”
Trying to help someone lying on the bed trying to offer help, what kind of act was this? It was a moment when a shocked Ophelia, who was usually not like herself, spoke sharply.
“No, I’m not trying to help.”
Roo quickly spoke. Even before her words were finished, Ophelia also realized that it was true. It wasn’t Hayden.
“Miss Genesis…”
From the curse binding her body, the power of the Southern Sage that Carlos had used from the remaining second ring was draining away.
“In the end, this is Hayden.”
“Well, that’s true, but you’re not in pain, are you?”
In response to Ophelia’s question, filled with assurance that there was no way she could be in pain, Roo sighed and nodded. Unlike the curses she had experienced so far, it wasn’t difficult or painful at all.
“Yes, I’m okay.”
However, the second curse that bound her was slowly and steadily losing the tightly woven power and creating holes.
Already, Roo had been gradually dealing with parts where the curse had been lost. Now it was becoming loose and full of holes.
“Carlos has learned something very interesting.”
“The structure is somewhat unique.”
Is it okay for a young sage with numerous fractures to do this?
While thoroughly examining Roo’s body, Ophelia couldn’t hide her complex feelings. However, Roo, with an elated expression, continued explaining.
“So, it’s the structure of the power that Carlos has built up so far. It was quite complicated, but the basic principle is this. Taking it out.”
Swoosh, swoosh, the power of the Southern Sage was returning to Roo.
“But Carlos has been using this power for a long time. Like leaving a straw stuck in it. I don’t know how he does it. I can just take it out, but I don’t know how to use it whenever I need it.”
Ophelia confirmed Roo’s steady breathing, absence of sweat on her forehead, or any sign of fatigue before turning her attention to her own curse. The second ring, which had tightly bound her like a snake, was changing into a net with holes.
“Such a method is not something I particularly want to know, but still, you need to know how to deal with it, right?”
“That’s true. Of course, Her Majesty may say that she doesn’t need to know.”
Amazing. Honestly, Ophelia was in awe while watching the curse with holes being created.
The curse binding her was much more crude compared to Roo, but the formula and structure that made up the curse were remarkably delicate.
Carlos had been preparing for a very long time to swallow the Perseta Empire.
However, what truly amazed her was Roo, who, by simply entering Carlos once and experiencing the curse, produced such results.
“Oh, yes. That’s true. But it’s very effective.”
Ophelia’s disciple, Roderick Callahan, who knew Roo well as a former member of the Calleta Empire Knights, commented.
Although they haven’t spent much time together, Roo is famous as a genius that everyone knows about. So, even if she wasn’t a new Southern Sage, Carlos would have taken notice of her.
“Well, she’s a Southern Sage, so being a genius is a given.”
Like thin paper burning in fire, the curse frighteningly created holes.
The second ring, which tightly bound her, was made of the power of an old Southern Sage. Now, the power returned to the new owner, unraveling itself from the dirty knots.
“Miss Genesis.”
Pulling out power and doing the curse was a new experience for Roo, so she found it quite amusing. However, when Ophelia called her, she raised her gaze.
The face that was only white, holding Ophelia’s hand, suddenly gained vitality.
“When everything is settled, please take the time to come to the mausoleum. Make sure to record this achievement and fill up the mausoleum’s archives.”
“Yes!”
“If there are more achievements, make sure to record those as well. The archives are completely empty.”
“Of course!”
Having gained the genius who volunteered to fill up the archives without knowing anything, the Mausoleum Sovereign smiled contentedly.
Far away on the battlefield, Hayden could feel his annoyance at this fact, but it didn’t matter.
Roo, who volunteered as a machine writing papers, playfully tilted her head and casually tapped the second ring, which now only had its framework remaining.
The peculiar curse snapped off.
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.
