“In fact, last time, I went to the square and met Rose. She was with a man.”
“Rosebelia was with a man?”
Both Hermann and Caden’s gazes were simultaneously fixed on me. Lifting my wine glass, I nonchalantly replied,
“Oh, Mother is right. I was with a colleague from the Knights that day.”
“Rose, don’t you think Hermann should properly know that you refused a strategic marriage because you have a man you meet separately? It’s to prevent Hermann and me from making the same mistake.”
“Is that true?”
“…There is someone I meet, but we met after the suppression was over. Before that, I genuinely had no leisure to consider a strategic marriage because the suppression was imminent.”
Olivia’s complexion brightened as if she heard the answer she had been waiting for. Her raised eyebrows were about to pierce the ceiling.
“Hermann, how about inviting that man to meet him? If he’s a good man, it’s fine to introduce him to Rose.”
“Even if you’ve been on a mission after the suppression, if you’ve met someone, you should have introduced him to the family and obtained permission.”
“I’m sorry; we haven’t been able to confirm each other’s feelings for long. Father.”
Swallowing a sigh inwardly, I spoke with a calm voice. Hermann’s dilated pupils were met with a faint smile spreading over my face.
“Rose, if you say you like him, I’ll approve just by seeing the person.”
Hermann frowned sharply at Olivia’s gentle tone.
“Just by seeing the person? Still, there should be some level of status.”
“Hermann, haven’t you forgotten the advice you gave me a few days ago? You said it would be better to consult and decide with Rose about anything related to her. What’s the use of a family if Rose likes him? As long as he’s not a commoner.”
In response to Olivia’s pointed words, Hermann, who was chuckling, lifted his wine glass.
“Father, if Lady Mother has given her heart, he must be a good person.”
“Bring him over once.”
“…I’ll do that. Then, I’ll get up first.”
Although I didn’t want to introduce Ian to Hermann and Olivia, it was something I had to face eventually if I wanted to maintain our relationship.
I am Rosebelia Winters.
“Rosebelia.”
As I tried to step onto the stairs, I stopped at the sudden call. Turning around, I saw Hermann standing there.
“Yes, Father.”
“I think I’ve misunderstood you greatly until now.”
“…”
“I thought you were looking at me with resentment all along, but today, I realized it was my misconception. You’ve become much softer than before, and I didn’t notice it.”
「I resented you, but to resent someone, you need to have feelings for that person. So, I stayed at the mansion for a long time, creating various excuses to linger, feeling attached enough to have regrets. But I hope you won’t do that.」
Your gaze has become much softer than before?
Well, I don’t have any special feelings for you.
The Rosebelia who resented you and knew you no longer exists.
Suppressing the words lingering in my mouth, I clenched and unclenched my inexperienced hand.
‘When I see your eyes mixed with resentment, words never seem to come out.’
As Rosebelia mentioned in the letter, hating and resenting someone ultimately involved pouring out emotions. Resenting someone is like liking them; it requires continuing to be conscious of that person’s existence.
Even if there was deep resentment in the eyes of a daughter looking at herself, as a father, he could have extended his hand first at least once. If that had happened…
After closing my eyes for a moment and then reopening them, I raised my lips lightly. Setting aside the relationship with Olivia, it was a clear fact that Hermann hadn’t fulfilled the role of a proper father to Rosebelia.
There was one truth that I wanted to convey to him.
“I’ve changed my mind a bit. Can we say that I’ve prepared myself for things to change in the future?”
“Prepared?”
“There’s no need to think too hard about it. Just simply…”
Looking straight into Hermann’s eyes, I continued the sentence.
“Just think that the old me you knew is no longer in this world.”
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.
