“Senior.”
Startled by Ian’s voice, I slowly lowered my gaze. Somehow, it felt like the sword had been sticking to my palm since a while ago. Was it because my hands were sweaty?
“The weather has gotten quite dark.”
While I was calmly regulating my breath, I raised my head and looked out the window. The familiar scenery was silently locked in darkness.
As I was about to reply to Moore, Ian, who had approached unnoticed, draped a cape over my training uniform. Watching him tie it up, even the knot, with a carefree manner, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“…Thank you.”
“I thought it was impressive seeing Senior.”
“Huh? What?”
“Even though you’re already at a high level, don’t you train the hardest? Among the knights, Senior probably has the most intense training.”
“That’s…”
I had my reasons.
It was somewhat like wanting to incorporate my will into Rosevelia’s swordsmanship, which naturally flowed like synchronized. Maybe I couldn’t properly use the Ora given the possibility that I might only be imitating Rosevelia’s swordsmanship.
Whatever the reason, I felt that I had to try it first to avoid regret.
Even when I was a fencer in my previous life, no one supported me as much as when I worked hard. If possible, I wanted to incorporate what I had into this swordsmanship.
“Working so hard, it’s no wonder you’ve reached that level.”
I awkwardly smiled, suppressing the words I couldn’t show in front of Ian.
Today, at least, it’s fortunate that you can’t hear my inner thoughts.
“Shall we go practice then?”
“Should we?”
Today was the day Ian and I decided to stay at the lodging to practice using Ora. After leaving the training field, we found a deserted forest path as usual.
Before practicing using Ora, when I reached out my hand to Ian, he hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“The method you mentioned last time. How about trying it today?”
“Huh?”
What was the method I mentioned last time?
“You said to try changing the contact area.”
Ah, that’s right…
‘Try embracing like this to widen the contact area.’
“At that time…”
It wasn’t something I said. It was the unconscious part of me that spoke through my mouth.
If I justify it as an excuse, he might think I’m even weirder.
“Should I just transmit it with my palm?”
Ian, who seemed to be glancing at my expression, asked cautiously.
“I want to try a method of widening the contact area…”
It was a bit embarrassing to lay the trap so openly.
“Then why not give it a try?”
As I raised my gaze, Ian reached out and pulled my shoulder, embracing me gently. Without warning, his strong arms tightly encircled my waist.
Soon, the sensation of our two hearts meeting became vivid. Through the heartbeat pounding heavily, I felt the transmission of his Ora.
How long had it been like that? The moment I felt that Ora had stabilized significantly, Ian released me from his embrace and asked.
“How are you feeling?”
“The speed at which Ora stabilizes seems to be fast. Is it because a lot has flowed in?”
“That could be it.”
“Is it okay for you to transmit Ora to me like this?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Relieved by the laughter-filled voice, I turned around and drew my sword. After pushing Ora away slowly, I swung the sword several times in the air.
By now, I should be feeling dizzy or the surroundings should be spinning…
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. This time, it seems there’s no dizziness either.”
“That’s a relief.”
I sheathed the sword and turned my body. When our eyes met, a faint smile appeared on Ian’s lips.
“This may be temporary, but it seems to be quite effective.”
“Until we find a fundamental solution, it’s better for you to continuously receive Ora from me.”
“We may face situations where we are separated, so we need to find a solution…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll always be by your side.”
There might be a situation soon where the expedition team splits into two for a campaign…
I swallowed the words that were rising to the tip of my tongue. Since nothing has been decided yet, there’s no need to unnecessarily fuel anxiety.
“Right, there’s something I wanted to tell you.”
“Something to say?”
“Soon, there will be a grand event hosted by the Riley family. I want you to come then…”
As soon as I mentioned the “Riley family,” Ian’s neatly raised eyebrows slightly twisted.
“The Riley family…”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“I briefly stopped by the lodging in the morning, and there was an invitation on the desk.”
“An invitation to the Riley family’s event?”
“Yes.”
Who could have sent it?
The event was hosted by the members of the Riley family, a gathering for the royal family and the ghosts, but many outsiders also attended.
The Riley family wanted to show off their influence by hosting a grand event.
It’s not strange for Prince Ian to receive an invitation to the event, but if they wanted to invite Ian, shouldn’t they have sent it to the palace instead of the knight’s lodging?
“Was there a name written on it?”
“It said ‘Klein.'”
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.
