It doesn’t bother me at all that it’s the king and not me, as I came to see Princess Renina.
“Cecilia.”
Idriss smiled broadly. How could his expression change so quickly from being serious just a moment ago?
“Did you come because you missed me?”
Ugh, saying such things so casually.
“Unfortunately, no. I came to take Renina with me.”
At Queen Cecilia’s words, Idriss’s eyebrows twitched. Then, as if not considering handing Renina over, he instead embraced her tightly. I had a useless thought that Renina might burst because she was too small compared to Idriss’s bulk.
“Don’t make me jealous of my daughter.”
“Haha, but it’s true. Give Renina to me. I’m already busy enough.”
“Don’t. She’s heavy. Your arms are not even half of mine.”
“But still, there’s substance in it, you know? It’s not heavy at all.”
“I’m fine holding her.”
“You looked distracted.”
Saying that, Queen Cecilia accepted the princess.
Renina, being in Cecilia’s arms, seemed to be in a good mood, giggling and smiling while wiggling her hands. Every time she smiled, her chubby pink cheeks moved round and fluffy.
“It’s really okay. Besides, it’s nice that you’re here too. How about being here every time I work in the future? Should I put a bed here, or is it okay if I work in your room?”
Idriss kissed Queen Cecilia on the forehead and lips.
Ugh.
I quickly turned my head as I didn’t want to see that.
It’s a bit strange in front of my younger brother, who hasn’t even become an adult yet. I’m still a child.
“Hey, Your Highness. It would be great if you could restrain yourself a bit, considering I’m also here.”
Idriss, as if noticing my presence just now, turned his gaze towards me.
“Rodrigo, why are you here?”
See! When he talks to me, he’s cold again. Idriss only likes Queen Cecilia and Renina. Pfft.
“Well, I’m not here to see Your Highness, but to see Princess.”
My lips twisted.
“Why Renina again. So unnecessary.”
“Don’t say that! Why do you treat Rodrigo like that for no reason?”
Cecilia intervened, taking my side.
If it weren’t for Cecilia, I would have really gotten upset.
Idriss is really mean. I’ll tell Grandpa about it. Tesmillion is on my side.
Idriss, seemingly indifferent to Queen Cecilia’s reproach, sat next to her as if nothing had happened. Then, he casually embraced the queen’s waist. Ugh, let’s just pretend I didn’t see that.
“Renina, your uncle is here. Say hello.”
Queen Cecilia shook Renina gently and showed her to me. Renina stared at me with wide, round eyes. Each time she blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered.
“Hello, Princess.”
Upon greeting, Renina burst into a hearty laugh.
“Do you like being called a princess? Princess!”
Renina burst into laughter again. When she opened her mouth widely, her small front teeth peeked out. It seems like she’s just starting to grow them.
“I’m glad you’re in a good mood today.”
As I extended my hand, Renina wrapped her tiny fingers around my finger. In her small, chubby hand, even the nails were delicately adorned.
“Do you want a hug?”
“Me, me?”
Before I could answer, Renina hugged me. Small, soft, and warm! Although Renina seemed uncomfortable at first, she soon found her place and played by touching my hand ornaments.
“Wow… you’re so cute, my niece.”
Cecilia and Idriss looked at me, who didn’t know what to do, with laughter.
A bit heavy, but still cute enough to overcome that.
“So cute like that?”
“Yeah, Cecile, no, Queen Cecilia. Incredibly!”
After that, I held Renina until my legs felt numb. It was an amazing experience. Of course, when the nurse took Renina away for her mealtime, saying it was the princess’s mealtime, I was exhausted as if I had run a lap around the training ground, but…
“It’s fortunate that Rodrigo gets along well with Renina.”
Cecilia smiled.
“Well, I’m her uncle. And Renina is so cute… I shouldn’t say this… but… I feel like asking Queen Cecilia to have one more niece.”
At my words, both the queen and the king burst into laughter.
“You can’t help being cute since you resemble him. But there won’t be a second niece. Don’t expect it.”
King Idriss said, playing with Queen Cecilia’s hair.
“Why? I’d be fine with a second one.”
Idriss, seeming surprised, looked at Queen Cecilia.
“Are you serious?”
The two of them stared at each other without saying a word. It felt like some kind of silent conversation was going on. Some kind of conversation of love…
As a young child, I couldn’t understand.
Ugh, I can’t take it anymore. I have to go! I feel like I have to go right now!
I got up and immediately left the office.
“Oh, geez! I really can’t understand Idriss. How can a person change so much?”
Cecilia is truly an amazing person. Or is that the power of love?
I still don’t know what love is. So I don’t really understand.
But at least, even if I have someone I love, I don’t think I’ll completely change like that, falling deeply for them.
“Idriss is really foolish.”
I whispered quietly and even looked around to make sure no one heard me.
“No one… agh!”
“Lord Rodrigo, I apologize for surprising you. I came to deliver a message.”
It was my page.
“What’s the matter?”
“A guest has arrived.”
“For me?”
“Yes, Lord Heron Skeetas has arrived. He is waiting right now…”
“Heron? If it’s Heron, I have to go right away!”
I hurriedly tried to urge my steps but stopped again. I turned back to face the page.
“How do I look now? How’s my face?”
“Um… you look magnificent.”
“Is that all?”
“Even before, you looked magnificent, but today, um… you look more mature and manly.”
“Will Heron see me like that?”
“He probably will.”
Really? I chuckled softly.
“Great! Let’s go to Heron quickly!”
I hastened my steps.
[End of the Side Story]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.
