After the get-well visit, they all gathered in the dining room. Idrysh and I were also present.
The beastfolk discreetly glanced at Idrysh.
It seemed like an intimidated glance.
Well, in the midst of these harmless small animals, Idrysh stood out excessively.
While everyone else had a petite build, Idrysh was gigantic.
He looked like a giant who accidentally fell into a land of small creatures.
Moreover, considering the last chieftain gathering… where Idrysh displayed his abilities, overwhelming everyone to the point where they couldn’t move, it was natural for them to be intimidated.
Shaden, the chieftain of the friendly mole beastfolk, sitting right next to Idrysh, seemed particularly terrified. His hands holding the teacup trembled.
Perhaps due to his thin and frail physique or his curly, long hair, he looked extremely fragile.
Suddenly, Shaden spilled tea on his chin and clothes.
“Ouch.”
As everyone’s gaze, especially Idrysh’s, fell on him, he seemed even more unsure of what to do.
I nudged Idrysh.
Before coming here, I had made it a point to warn him about having patience.
〈To them, Idrysh might be scarier than a ghost, more dreadful than a demon. Our small animals see it that way. You’re an inevitable predator, and we were born as your prey. So please, don’t be scary. Be funny. Softly, okay?〉
Idrysh gave me a displeased look. I gestured with the napkin.
After Idrysh let out a short sigh, he casually handed the napkin to Shaden.
Shaden alternated his gaze between the offered napkin and Idrysh in bewilderment, then stupidly opened his mouth.
The scene before my eyes was unbelievably ridiculous.
“Take it.”
Idrysh said in a low voice. His tone almost made him sound like a thug.
As if on reflex, Shaden immediately accepted the napkin.
“Thank you, th-thank you.”
Whether or not to greet, Idrysh resumed drinking his tea.
Ah, that wasn’t it.
Everyone subtly exchanged glances.
I secretly wiped my forehead.
At that moment, the crow chieftain, Pinoria, stepped forward.
“Ahem, we came to inquire about Hivido’s well-being, not to meet Artiglado. But being seated together like this feels somewhat awkward.”
It was a cautioning statement, putting up a wall against us. The other chieftains nodded.
“But we heard that you helped Skitas this time.”
The rabbit chieftain stepped forward. He was relatively friendly toward us here.
In truth, our rabbit beastfolk also have grudges against Agila. Vida murdered the innocent rabbit family last time.
It was the story of the protagonist, Jyka. It was actually the work of Servian, but for now, I didn’t bother correcting it.
It’s the easiest way to form an alliance when you have a common enemy.
However, it seemed that the others did not share the same opinion.
“Nevertheless, predatory beastfolk like them can never be on our side. From birth, they consider us as creatures they must catch and eat to survive. If I have to continue sharing this space with them, I will leave now.”
Talipinus, the chieftain of the mole beastfolk, abruptly stood up.
No.
“Talipinus, wait a moment!”
Although Talipinus seemed to listen to our words a little, he was still about to leave.
When we met at the last chieftain gathering, he clearly claimed to understand me and told me to contact him whenever I needed help.
“Listen to Idrysh Artigrado for a moment, Talipinus.”
“Cecilia Eryzo. I want to help you. But I’m not them. Please stop this now. It’s obvious that being with carnivores will end badly. We’ll meet separately later.”
He truly seemed ready to leave this place immediately. Even the friendly chinchilla beastfolk seemed to want to follow him.
However, before they could leave, Heron stepped forward.
“We apologize for unilaterally arranging such a gathering. But even if we have to go against our traditions, this must be said. Skitas decided to trust Artigrado a bit more.”
“That… What do you mean? Trust him.”
“It’s not a complete commitment, but we have decided that we need to observe a bit more. Skitas doesn’t plan to be hostile to Artigrado thoughtlessly.”
“Heron Skitas! Do you know the meaning of what you’re saying?”
“I may have overestimated you as the chieftain of Skitas. Just recovering the Night Tree Forest doesn’t seem to be enough to sway you so easily. Well, what would you know? You haven’t experienced why our Deload beastfolk risked their lives and rebelled. I guess being young can’t be helped.”
Pinoria sneered. Heron’s usually confident face was visibly shaken this time.
“Pinoria, be careful with your words.”
“You should be careful, Heron. We don’t want to hear more, so we should leave now. What are you doing? Come out quickly.”
Egged on by Pinoria, Talipinus also seemed ready to follow her.
Ugh, I tried to stay still in this situation, but now that it has come to this, there’s no other choice. I have to step up.
“The Night Tree Forest was just recovered. Did you, who claim to be Skitas, willingly help when Skitas lost the Night Tree Forest?”
I didn’t say it loudly, but everyone fell silent.
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.
