“Is it a village on the outskirts of the capital?”
“Yes.”
Impossible, right?
The place they left for monster subjugation was a place called ‘Abandoned Mountain.’
It was a very high and rugged mountain range where few people went, and during the peak of the territorial conquest war, soldiers of the Bellir Kingdom and the Phonnese Empire had fled to that mountain and fought, resulting in countless soldiers losing their lives.
The mountain became a sea of blood, and the blood flowing from the corpses created a ‘Red Spring,’ a legend that was handed down about that ‘Abandoned Mountain.’
Strange things had begun to grow in that mountain polluted by corpses, and scholars within the empire suspected the ‘Red Spring’ to be the source.
Nature usually selfcorrects, but even after several hundred years, only that spring retained its red hue, so that assumption had almost been accepted as fact.
In fact, the first monster that revealed itself was merely grotesque in form and was not known to be aggressive.
But in just a few decades, the monsters of ‘Abandoned Mountain’ had become aggressive, and the unintelligent monsters were expanding their territory downward from the mountain. To stop that, regular monster subjugation was undertaken.
Though monsters had come down to the villages around the mountain, it would be unlikely that they had appeared in the villages on the outskirts of the capital, right?
“Where’s the captain?”
“The captain said he has some discussions about the upcoming monster subjugation and has gone to the imperial palace with the deputy captain.”
“First, let me notify the captain by mail, is it just one monster?”
At Edwin’s question, Vanessa shook her head in confusion.
“I don’t know that much….”
“But why not the local guards but a knight of the Guardian Knights requested support?”
“The first to discover the monster were the local guards, but some Guardian Knights were nearby. They tried to handle it somehow, but when it seemed impossible, they requested support from us. Being on the outskirts of the capital, it’s much closer for us to go.”
The Guardian Knights, unlike the White Knights, were not regularly engaged in subjugation, so they were not familiar with monsters.
Moreover, monsters had different characteristics, and some would regenerate endlessly unless their vital parts were severed.
If such a monster had appeared, the entire village would be in danger.
“We should go and see for ourselves at least.”
“Understood, senior.”
“You guys go ahead to the stable. I’ll go find Lukas.”
Before Vanessa’s words even finished, I grabbed Edwin by the nape of his neck, who was turning towards the stable.
“Edwin, you should stay out of this.”
“Why? I have to go too.”
“With an injured leg?”
Vanessa, who was trying to leave the training ground, stopped in her tracks.
“Edwin, you injured your leg?”
“Yes. For now, I think it’s best for the senior, me, and Lukas, the three of us to go.”
Edwin, who was unable to let go of his attachment, expressed his willingness to go again, but Vanessa shook her head firmly.
“You know better, Edwin. Going with us with an injured leg will not help, but only burden us.”
At Vanessa’s words, Edwin’s mouth was tightly shut.
“Go get ready quickly, Rosebelia.”
“Yes, senior.”
As I ran toward the stable, leaving behind a frustrated Edwin, Ian unexpectedly stood at the crossroads.
“Senior, are you going to the village on the outskirts of the capital?”
“Yes.”
“I will follow.”
If Ian were to come with us, he would certainly contribute to our strength…
I shook my head briefly to stop the thought that suddenly came to mind. Although Ian’s swordsmanship was superior to Edwin’s, there was no guarantee that he could fight well against a monster just because he was skilled with a sword.
“You can’t. You’ve never faced a monster before.”
“You know my skills. You must also acknowledge that I’m in the upper ranks of the knights…”
“No. Monsters are different. Even the Guardian Knights, who are not allowed to join without basic skills, are struggling. Why do you think that is?”
At my words, Ian’s face darkened rapidly.
“But…”
“You could get hurt if you act rashly.”
“I don’t care.”
“What?”
I felt a force naturally building between my brows. Even though I might get hurt fighting with the demon beast, my face was calm, as if it were someone else’s business.
“I am confident that I will not be injured.”
“Any knight who joins the White Knight Order will dream of subduing the demon beast. I know your desire, and I know you’re skilled, but I can’t take you with me. Follow the proper way and work hard in your lessons to catch the attention of the captain.”
[Star Icon]Ian clenched his fist. He couldn’t bear to hold back Rosebelia, who was galloping towards the stable.
‘The accurate expression might be that I have no reason to hold her back.’
The demon beast had appeared in a village on the outskirts of the capital, and the news that a guardian knight had requested support from the White Knight Order had caused quite a commotion.
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.
