“Nonsense.”
In her previous life, Atia had been a pet owner, and memories of walking and living with puppies came to mind.
So, without knowing it, she grabbed Casus’ arm.
His thick muscles, felt even through the coat, she gripped, firmly.
Surprised by Atia’s sudden touch, Casus tried to push her away, but strangely, her grip was stronger than expected.
“Duke, but to kill a young one is a bit…….”
Atia said to Casus, her dolllike eyes softly closed.
Perhaps he read the sincere desire in her eyes to save Cerberus.
Casus let out a short sigh and explained.
“By nature, Cerberus never forgets the face of a human who messes with it.”
“But…….”
“If it comes back here later, it will be a headache, so it’s better to kill it now.”
“Duke……”
“And can you let go of this?”
“Oh…….”
Realizing late that she was holding onto Casus’ arm, Atia slightly let go of her hand.
At that moment, the puppy Cerberus whimpered and cried.
The sound made Atia’s heart hurt somehow.
“Oh, what to do! It’s too cruel! I can’t, no, I can’t watch!”
Atia’s fuss made the knights look back and forth between the Duke and Duchess, gauging their reactions.
“Isn’t there any other way?”
Unable to watch any longer, Zen chimed in.
“Zen, why are you interfering?”
Casus frowned.
“If Cerberus is tamed by human hands, the problem will be solved.”
“That’s impossible. You should know well.”
“…….”
“There has never been a case in history where Cerberus was tamed. Even if you raise it from infancy, success is impossible due to its nature.”
Casus shook his head in disdain as he looked at Zen.
Even though Zen knew it was impossible, he had tried to provoke.
As Casus signaled again, the knights, as if they had been waiting, drew their swords and took a step towards the puppy Cerberus.
“Wait a moment.”
Unable to bear it, Atia spoke.
Atia spread out her luxurious handkerchief and began to approach the net. It was an emergency handkerchief she had prepared in case she vomited blood.
“Baby….”
“Grrr!”
Even while showing sharp teeth, the little guy, struggling in the net, was cute.
Upon close inspection, it had a strange appearance, like a mixture of a country puppy and a black panther.
‘Are you crazy, it’s total puppyface cuteness, isn’t it?’
They’re going to kill that kid.
Even though it was a beast dangerous to humans, it was still a living creature.
There were also hard rocks that looked like ore in the net.
The Cerberus, mixed with the ore, was torn here and there as it floundered in the net, and blood was coming out of its skin.
Casus and Zen, arms crossed, watched to see what Atia was going to do, having no idea.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
The situation was similar to when I had brought home a lost stray dog in the past.
There was little difference from then and now.
If there was anything different, it was that it was a puppy then, but now it’s a magical beast?
As Atia gently tried to pet Cerberus with a comforting voice,
Smack!
The young Cerberus bit her arm forcefully.
“Ugh!”
The creature’s small teeth dug into Atia’s arm and bright red blood quickly spread on her dress.
The teeth were so sharp that the hem of the dress was slightly torn, revealing the skin underneath.
Her arm was particularly pale, contrasting sharply with the red blood.
“Ma, madam!”
From the side, the maid Kesha, who had been watching, cried out in surprise.
Kesha wasn’t the only one surprised. The same was true for the people around, including Casus and Zen.
“Kesha, I’m fine.”
As if she had expected to be bitten, Atia put her hand into the net.
Then she inserted her arm completely into the net, and stroked the legs of Cerberus, which were scratched here and there.
“He’s injured his leg.”
Leaving her bitten arm as is, Atia tied a handkerchief to the injured leg of Cerberus.
“Grrr… whimper!”
Cerberus, who was growling fiercely while crying in pain, didn’t know what to do.
Though still young, a beast was a beast.
“Kesha, do you have any extra handkerchiefs?”
“Ye, yes, here’s one.”
When Kesha, with her frozen face, extended her handkerchief, Atia took the handkerchief and quickly tied it over Cerberus’ eyes.
“Blocking the vision is the priority.”
For a young creature afraid of an unfamiliar environment, this was the best Atia could do.
Blocking the sight seemed to have noticeably calmed the creature’s restless behavior.
Casus watched Atia with a furrowed brow.
Why was she doing so much for a mere creature?
“You’re doing something useless.”
Casus said towards Atia.
“Sigh…”
“If you’re done with your business, I guess I have to finish what I couldn’t.”
Casus sent a glance to the knight who had drawn his sword.
It meant that Atia’s effort to save the young beast had been in vain.
“I’m sorry.”
Atia retreated helplessly, with a bitter smile, speaking in a tone that only Cerberus could hear.
Casus gestured with his chin.
“Dispose of it.”
At the command of Casus, the sharp swords cast a shadow over the net.
That’s when…
“Wait.”
A heavy voice came from behind.
Both Atia and Casus turned around.
The previous Duke, Heidegger, was standing at the door, looking at Atia’s arm.
Drop.
Drop.
Blood drops fell from her pale arm, wetting the floor.
Deep bite marks were engraved on her slender arm.
“One must commend your courage.”
Heidegger said, looking at the bite mark on Atia’s arm.
“……”
“You’re fearless, extending your hand to a beast.”
Heidegger looked at Atia with an emotionless face.
His blue eyes seemed to pierce through her.
When Heidegger looked at someone, most people would avoid his gaze.
But Atia was looking back at him, as if it was interesting.
Heidegger slowly opened his mouth.
“What do you want to do with that creature?”
“Me, me?”
Atia blinked her eyes, hiding her bleeding arm behind her.
“To be honest, I want to raise it. I think I can tame it.”
Everyone at the scene was astonished by Atia’s response.
Because Cerberus wasn’t a lifeform that humans could touch.
Heidegger’s eyebrows rose.
“You want to tame that savage creature?”
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.
