The state of Duke Hebetzman was critical, but it could improve with purification. Now that Pythonus has returned, there’s no need to risk lives as Blake did before. Liche attempted to purify the aura Duke Hebetzman obtained in this recent battle. However…
“Oh, brother?”
As Liche was about to enter the room where Duke Hebetzman was, she was startled as Deon grabbed her shoulder.
‘How am I not noticed here?’
She used her cognitive manipulation ability to lower her presence to that of a pebble.
Until just a moment ago, when she rose from the living room sofa to grab the doorknob, everyone treated her like a transparent human. Clearly, her ability was in effect.
[But he’s not within the human realm.]Pythonus murmured.
“Let’s talk.”
Deon grabbed Liche’s hand and walked her outside the guest room. Passing through the busy hallway and reaching a deserted area, they stopped. However, Deon didn’t let go of Liche’s hand, as if anxious about her getting away.
“…Is that magic?”
“Magic?”
“Right now, you look faint, as if you’re about to disappear.”
Though it wasn’t noticeable, Deon’s heart was beating faster than usual. A moment ago, he was observing Liche looking at the bedroom door. Suddenly, she vanished, as if her existence evaporated from his consciousness. How surprised he was.
Deon quickly sharpened all his senses. When he felt the familiar breath, the blurry form of Liche appeared, following the shape heading towards Duke Hebetzman’s lying room.
“I can’t see myself properly.”
Deon thought his ability didn’t work as usual. Liche released the cognitive manipulation and asked Deon.
“How did you know?”
“By your breath.”
Don’t do that in front of me again.
Deon grumbled. Unlike Deon, who inwardly sighed in relief, Liche felt awkward.
‘This is bad.’
To be caught by Deon. She thought of various excuses, but Deon stared at her as if urging her to speak.
“…It’s magic?”
“Magic?”
“Right now, you look faint, as if you’re about to disappear.”
Pythonus murmured.
“Let’s talk.”
Deon held Liche’s hand and walked her outside the guest room. Sweating in tension, he must have thought, ‘Now Deon will ask how you knew. I already have plausible excuses.’
He discovered a collection of the Roadwick family’s belongings in the private library. It had the effect of alleviating illnesses. He thought it was a reasonably convincing excuse since the previous Roadwick Duke lived until he was over 40.
‘Excuses are available.’
Touching the star fragment in her pocket, Liche looked at Deon’s stern face. She had to speak naturally, so Deon wouldn’t suspect.
“Well, you see…”
“I get it.”
“The library… you know?”
Liche looked at Deon in surprise. Know what? Perhaps her true identity?
“I know? What…?”
Suddenly, her spine turned cold.
Please, if he didn’t know.
Regardless of whether Gerwer Duke found out, she hoped Deon didn’t know. Also, Blake.
Maybe they would consider it deception. Right now, Deon’s words might be blame towards her.
Deon gazed silently at Liche’s trembling eyes and then spoke.
“You’re stubborn.”
“…Huh?”
“You’re a nag, and you don’t listen to my words.”
Deon lightly tapped Liche’s forehead.
Deon silently stared into Liche’s trembling eyes and then spoke.
“You’re stubborn.”
“…Huh?”
“You’re a nag, and you don’t listen to my words.”
Deon lightly tapped Liche’s forehead.
“This time, I can’t make concessions either.”
“…Brother.”
The living room of the guest room where Duke Hebetzman stays.
Liche called Deon, who was sitting next to the sofa.
“What’s this…?”
Liche’s raised wrist had a string tied to it. The other end was tied to Deon’s wrist.
Liche shook the string with a perplexed face.
“What.”
Deon glanced at Liche like that and answered nonchalantly.
Afterward, he spoke to Ian, who was sitting on Liche’s right.
“Gerwer.”
It was rare for Deon to initiate the conversation. Ian, who had been watching the two with a smile, immediately shifted his gaze to Deon. At the same time, something flew into Ian’s hand.
It was a string similar to the one tying Liche and Deon’s wrists.
…Déjà vu?
In Ian’s ears, reminiscing about the past, Deon’s voice echoed.
“You too, tie up.”
“What?”
Tie up? Was he telling Liche to tie her wrists like Deon did?
Although she wanted to say it’s impossible, Deon, who reached out, quickly tied Liche’s other wrist and Ian’s wrist with separate strings.
He’s as fast as a royal knight donning armor.
Ian looked at the knot and subtly asked Liche.
“Liche, should I untie this?”
“It’s okay.”
Even if he untied it, Deon would probably glare at her and tie it again.
At times like this, it was better to find another way to break Deon’s stubbornness.
Liche leaned back against the sofa backrest.
[It’s tied up tightly. It won’t be easy to get out of it no matter what you do.]Pythonus chuckled. It was a valid point.
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.
