Esellion’s hand covered Lyselia’s eyes.
“What I am seeing right now is the face of Delarta’s prophet, Lady Lyselia. I have no knowledge of what the Empress of Eliaden looks like.”
“What… What are you saying?”
“No, what on earth are you talking about?”
Both Lyselia and Serben were astonished, with Serben shaking his head so much that it made a buzzing sound due to his incomprehension.
“I have seen the Empress countless times since I became a Guardian Knight! The appearance of the Empress in my eyes remains the same! Of course, the personality is quite different.”
Lyselia touched her own face with a bewildered fingertip.
“This… my face?”
Esellion and Serben simultaneously replied.
“Yes, it is Lady Lyselia’s face.”
“Yes, it is the face of the Empress!”
“…”
First of all, it was absurd to say that my current face did not resemble that of Empress Cartahena.
If this face was not that of the Empress, Lyselia would not need to hide her identity from the beginning. Everyone in the palace would have recognized that the Empress had been replaced by someone else.
It didn’t seem like Esellion was lying. Moreover, at this point, when Lyselia had acknowledged her true identity, there was no reason for Esellion to lie again.
“Then, it would mean that I and Empress Cartahena Feliyon share the same appearance. …Is that possible?”
Esellion spoke.
“I am also puzzled. Lady Lyselia, have you never seen yourself in a mirror in the Empire? If the appearances of the two of you were the same, Lady Lyselia wouldn’t have been unaware of it until now.”
He still doubted whether Lyselia might be falsely claiming to be the Delarta prophet.
However, Esellion was wrong.
“It seems that his Excellency Esellion has never seen the prophet’s chamber.”
“Yes…? No, I haven’t. It’s not a place anyone can enter. Only a few dreamkeepers are allowed in.”
“There are no windows in that place. Just like there are no mirrors and bathtubs.”
“…What?”
“No, what are you saying?”
Esellion and Serben made similar expressions at the same time.
“And it’s very dark. The prophet wears the same clothes as the dreamkeepers, and when going outside, wears the same hood. As far as I remember, I have never seen my face. The first time I saw myself in a mirror was right after waking up in the Empress’s body.”
Serben clenched his large fist in frustration.
“Is that… even possible? No, the prophet claims to be the representative of the gods! But to live in such an… unreasonable place?”
Esellion was equally shocked.
“I… had no idea. How could such a thing happen…”
“The prophet must be cautious of visible things. It meant not to be deceived by what one’s own eyes see, only to believe in the truth shown by the gods.
Lyselia made a complicated expression.
“When I became a prophet at a young age, I heard these words from the Delarta’s High Priest, and at that time, I believed it to be an accurate statement. But it seems that wasn’t all.”
“If that’s the case, Lady Lyselia… do you believe that Delarta’s High Priest intentionally kept you in such a room?”
“Even if my face wasn’t identical to the Empress of the Empire, do you think it would have been different?”
“…”
“…!”
Serben opened his eyes wide, and Esellion tightly questioned with pursed lips.
On the other hand, Lyselia felt a sense of approaching the reasons she had been searching for.
Now she seemed to understand why she had been living in that room from before becoming a prophet.
That room wasn’t the Prophet’s Chamber. It was only later called that because she became the prophet.
It was a room to hide a certain girl. A girl who looked exactly like the Empress of the Empire.
“Then… does that mean Empress, Your Majesty, was born as twins? Like me and Ryan.”
After a moment of shock, Serben spoke, mixing a sigh.
“If their appearances are completely identical, there is no other explanation. …No, then why was the Empress, Your Majesty, in Delarta? Why was the person with the mark Kartahena Fellyon?”
Up to that point, it was not known. Only, it could be speculated about what had happened regarding his birth in the Duke’s residence.
“I don’t know if I was born as the Duke’s daughter, but the Duke knew of my existence. Before I lost consciousness, Duke Pheleon mentioned something about my past. He said there was a child who posed a threat to the position of Empress Kartahena Fellyon, and it needed to be found and eliminated.”
It might not have been about Lyselia, who looked exactly like the Empress.
“What kind of crazy…,”
Thinking that Lyselia might have died at any moment, Serben, who was trembling at the thought, continued to raise his head.
“No, something is strange about that. There was never any mention that twins were born in the Pheleon family.”
Kartahena Fellyon was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke. The fact that she was born as the only legitimate successor of the Duke with the mark was the most dazzling ornament in Kartahena Fellyon’s life.
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.
