Blake stood in front of the bed, holding Liche and looking down at the basket.
Zekebert, fully awake, bristled and watched Blake warily.
‘Animal smell.’
Deon stood next to Blake, holding his breath.
There’s only one thing that has such a strong animal smell.
‘It’s a Serdiya’s ability user.’
That was something even my father would have known. The feature of Serdiya wasn’t just the smell.
But Blake silently stared at the wolf, and suddenly spoke.
“Liche brought it?”
“Ah, Lord. That’s the thing.”
Jed opened his mouth.
He met Liche’s impatient eyes and blinked one eye, as if to say trust only in him.
“Liche just followed the squirrel, and I brought it [dash].”
“I, I brought it! I’m sorry…….”
Liche hurriedly confessed to being the culprit at Jed’s words.
The day she returned from the Forest of Magic Beasts.
She left Zekebert near the castle gate and returned to her room, where she and Pythons concocted the plan. She was the one who did it.
‘Did Dad recognize that it’s a Serdiya’s ability user?’
Liche looked at Blake with a pounding heart.
She hoped he didn’t recognize it.
She didn’t regret her choice to rescue Zekebert from the Forest of Magic Beasts, but she didn’t want to trouble Blake or others.
“……A puppy wild dog.”
Jed who heard Blake’s mutter responded with “Oh,” in agreement.
Redhaired wild dogs were common. They looked similar too.
“That’s right. It’s a puppy wild dog. You think so too, right, councilor?”
“It seems the Duke is right. This, darn it. I know how to see people, but I don’t know animals, so I made a mistake.”
Cland also joined in the agreement.
Their appearance, quite aware of Liche and calling it a wild dog, made Deon snort.
Blake asked Liche,
“Liche, you brought it, so decide what to do with it. Do you want to keep it?”
“You want to keep that?”
Deon frowned and interrupted, and Liche looked up at Blake in surprise.
Though taken aback by the unexpected question, it was only for a moment. Liche shook her head.
“No.”
“Then?”
“I want to take care of it until it gets better.”
Hearing Liche’s words, Zekebert made a pitiful sound of “Kkuh…..” and tucked his tail in.
That didn’t change Liche’s mind.
Zekebert couldn’t be raised in the Ludwick Duke’s house.
‘Serdiya’s ability user. If we keep it, Dad will be in trouble.’
She had brought it because she couldn’t leave the sick Zekebert, but it couldn’t stay in Ludwick’s house for long.
Above all, since the ability user was missing, the Serdiya Duke’s family must be in chaos.
“When it’s better, I’ll send it back to where it lived. It must have a family.”
Blake nodded at her words.
“If you want to do that, do so. Just keep this beast until it gets better.”
“Thank you!”
Liche smiled brightly, and Blake patted her head.
Liche stared at Blake and asked,
“But Dad…….”
“Speak.”
“Never mind.”
Liche shook her head.
She wanted to ask if he was alright, but it seemed like a random question.
Liche’s silver eyes turned to Blake’s upper body.
The Qi, which had tasted purification several times, was calm and didn’t rush at Liche as before.
The day before Blake left. Considering she wouldn’t see him for over 2 weeks, she purified a few days’ worth of Qi.
It was the best she could do without Blake feeling something off and suspecting her.
Even so.
‘The Qi has gotten thicker.’
Blake’s Qi was more accumulated than she had expected, as if he had used his ability.
‘Jed said that they don’t use abilities in the hunt.’
It was a rule for the Hwang family and the noncombat abilityhaving Gerwer family.
She wanted to ask if there was any danger that required using his ability, but she couldn’t admit to knowing, so it was a problem.
“Liche.”
Blake spoke to the little worried head.
As Riche locked eyes, she opened her mouth with a face filled with strange anticipation.
“I brought a gift.”
Ever since buying the gift in the imperial city, she had wanted to say those words, her mouth itching to utter them. Of course, thanks to Blake’s typical stoic expression, it didn’t show.
Under Blake’s guidance, Riche and the others moved to the living room to admire the gifts together.
They had bought so much that once one box was opened, other boxes that had arrived from the carriage filled the living room floor.
Overwhelmed by the relentless gift offensive, Riche was at the brink of spinning eyes.
Then, Deon threw a puppy doll at Riche, saying it looked stupid like her.
“……”
“Looks alike?”
The lifted corner of his mouth clearly showed his intent to tease.
Was he challenging her? Riche’s eyes filled with determination at that moment.
Just then, the python that had been rustling in nearby wrapping paper said to Deon in its mind,
[The little guy’s cocky attitude is cute.]Who’s calling whom little and cute?
Riche was so dumbfounded that she lost her momentum. Yeah, what was the point of fighting with Deon?
‘Deon is 9 years old after all.’
[And you are 7.]Fighting with a 9yearold seriously isn’t very mature.
Riche hugged the doll and smiled brightly.
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.
