Rustica Gennes had directly experienced all her wellhoned skills disappearing without a trace.
The magical theories in her mind had not materialized, and the same was true for her swordsmanship. To put it more directly, her trained muscles had not functioned properly. Just like this.
Clang.
The heavy Emperor’s sword fell to the ground.
“Your Majesty!”
The knights who rushed in as soon as the door opened saw the sight of Calleta, a highranking official, trembling as she looked at her hand, enveloped in a sinister emerald light.
The blade of the fallen Emperor’s sword was directed at her, not the Emperor. And the Emperor was grasping the official’s neck. To any observer, it looked as if Calleta had attempted suicide. Gray eyes turned towards the door.
“Leave.”
At the dripping cold command, the knights immediately retreated and closed the door again.
“Madam Gennes.”
Lu stared at her violently shaking hand, as if unable to comprehend it. It was a familiar situation. The moment she swung her sword, imbued with magic, the strength would drain from her arm, and she couldn’t attack properly. She was used to that.
But this was the first time she had lost strength in her arm while attempting such a simple action and had even dropped her sword.
“Madam Gennes.”
Moreover, what was this ominous emerald light rippling all over her? This was the first time she had seen this light, binding her from her wrist to her arm and shoulders, engulfing her body.
It was tightly knotted, as if it had been tied a long time ago. Intricate magical spells were inscribed on the knots.
It was the first time in four years that she could properly see magic, but Lu felt not joy or gladness but revulsion. The shape of the magic was abhorrent.
“Rustica, Lu!”
At the strong call of her name, Lu’s head snapped up. Hayden was grinding his teeth, grabbing her trembling hands with his other hand.
“You should have stabbed me.”
Though his eyes were filled with anger, he couldn’t raise his voice. He suppressed his voice and merely enveloped her hands.
“You pushed me to stab you, so I should have stabbed you. I, I’m sorry.”
The strongly pushing voice suddenly faltered and gave way. Distorting his face in pain, he pulled Lu’s dazed hand and kissed it.
“I’m sorry, it was my fault.”
She thought that she would willingly stab him, for his eyes were full of a willingness to die, but Lu had not let go of everything to the end.
“Lu. Lu?”
But Lu was not listening to Hayden’s words. Breathing rapidly, she tried to pull away her hand, caught by him, and tear off the emeraldknotted binding around her.
But the knots were transparent. Her hand couldn’t grasp them but slipped through. The more she couldn’t grasp, the more she forced strength into her drained hand to grasp, but only scratched herself.
“What is this……?”
Just as Lu’s hand, with her nails out, was about to make a red mark on her neck, Hayden caught her hand again.
“Do you see it? Lu, look at me.”
Hayden pleaded with her.
“Look at me. Can you see the knots now?”
She had no strength to resist him with her drained body. Pale and drenched in sweat, Lu managed to nod her head.
“Then it’s okay. You’ve regained your sight for now. Calm down. It’s okay.”
It wasn’t okay. Even a fool would know something was wrong, and Lu was someone who had learned magic.
She could see clearly that this magic binding her was suppressing her. She had to get rid of it. She had to tear it off right now.
“No. Even if you wanted to die, you couldn’t. The knots are connected to your life. You can’t do it now.”
Hayden’s face was furious, but he shook his head firmly.
“Ah. ……Ah?”
She couldn’t understand. Lu looked down at her constantly slackening body, feeling helpless. The ominous emerald light was now slowly fading away. The knots were getting fainter.
She couldn’t understand. What was this? When had it been there? Why hadn’t she noticed? She thought her hands were trembling, but it wasn’t just that. Her whole body was shaking. Her legs had already lost strength, and she had collapsed.
“It’s okay. It was my fault. I’m really sorry for frightening you.”
하지만 몇 분 전으로 돌아간다 해도, 헤이든은 똑같은 방법을 선택했을 거다. 빌어먹게도 그게 최선이었으니까.
창백하게 질린 루는 그녀를 위협하던 남자의 품 안에서 무너지고 말았다.
[Star Icon]In the Calleta Empire, daring to question all the actions of His Majesty the Emperor was soon considered treason. The Imperial Knights protected the Emperor, and everything the Emperor did was always wise and prudent.
Never question what His Perfect Majesty the Emperor does. Only a fool would question it.
But Lu always had doubts. Why can’t we go beyond the barrier and rescue our lost colleagues and family? Why can’t we go over the barrier and root out the demons? Isn’t every war supposed to end like that?
But Carlos Arthur Ingram seemed to have no intention of ending the war.
“The first mission of the Imperial Knights is.”
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.
