“Do you know that it’s just that much? Not only did she run away, but she also kidnapped our youngest daughter. Did she think our youngest daughter would bring in money, so she took her away…!”
“How noisy. What’s she doing at someone else’s wedding feast?”
Eventually, Rian, unable to endure it any longer, walked into their midst. Finally, the face of Count Velocchi’s wife brightened as she saw him.
The people gathered around hastily stepped back at our appearance.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
After exchanging greetings with Rian, she looked at me behind Rian and chuckled. It was an uncomfortable and peculiar expression.
“I thought I wouldn’t see you again, but why are you here?”
“As parents, it’s only natural for us to come when our daughter is getting married, isn’t it? However, it seems our daughter doesn’t even consider us as parents. How can a child not invite her own parents to the wedding? The child who doesn’t even call her parents. How can there be such a child?”
The Countess’s gaze reached me, who stood beside Rian.
“I didn’t invite you. Is there a reason to call you, knowing you’d make such a fuss in front of the Empress?”
“Isabella will take care of what she did.”
“No. Do you not trust Jim’s words? Jim sent all the invitations.”
“I-I trust, but…”
“Then do you have a reason to cause a disturbance here, even if the Empress didn’t invite you? Even if the Empress didn’t invite you, is there a reason for you to cause trouble here?”
The Countess’s expression distorted greatly.
“Whether there is or not. Still, we are her parents.”
“What’s the reason? Should Jim explain everything one by one? Seeing that you caused a disturbance earlier, it seems quite absurd.”
“Absurd? Your Majesty. I haven’t said anything wrong. Is it not embarrassing for a grown woman to run away, causing trouble for her parents? What have we done wrong, and she runs away, even making our youngest daughter disappear?”
Whether she intended to settle things here today or not, on this joyous day, the Countess shouted loudly, her face flushed.
“Run away? It’s not running away but protecting. Weren’t you trying to force Isabella into marriage? So, as the Emperor, I just protected her. Is your trouble because of the money you received from the forcibly pushed marriage partner? Is that Isabella’s fault?”
“…Whatever happened, Isabella is a child full of greed. Kidnapping even my sister.”
“Kidnapping? That’s not funny. You’ve been making money by using Isabella who is not even ten years old. Now, you’re upset because of the money you received from the forced marriage partner. Is that Isabella’s fault?”
Unable to endure any longer, I stepped forward.
“L-look here. Everyone, look at this. A person who has become the Empress of the Empire is begging and pleading as if she’s going to devour my mother! Just the fact that such a person became the Empress is a mistake in itself!”
“According to your words, do you mean Jim’s choice to welcome Isabella as the Empress was wrong?”
“Oh, no. It’s not that. It’s more like Isabella Velocchi is not fit to be the Empress… Haha.”
Whether Rian didn’t want to see him angry or whether the Countess didn’t want to see him angry, the Countess raised her voice, looking around, giving the impression of being watchful.
“And I heard a very interesting story. Can I tell it here?”
“An interesting story?”
“In fact, His Majesty and my daughter Isabella had no relationship. If you look into it, until recently, His Majesty and Isabella had never met separately. It’s not a love marriage…”
Deliberately, the Countess blurred the end of her words. It was an expression and behavior that seemed to ask if we would stay silent even after going this far. However, Rian just nodded slowly.
“So?”
“Yes? Can I keep talking?”
“If you opened your mouth to speak, then continue talking.”
“There are also rumors that Isabella used medicine or magic to cloud the Emperor’s judgment. So, I think that child should be investigated.”
The sudden words were so absurd that a sense of absurdity rushed in. It was true that there was no relationship, but pushing someone into a corner like this was unexpected.
Rian, who had been silently listening to the words, chuckled.
“Do you know the crime of insulting the imperial family?”
“What?”
“If you insult the nobility with an uncertain story, it’s a crime.”
“Why all of a sudden… I didn’t talk about Her Majesty. I just mentioned if the Emperor wasn’t also mistreated by that wicked girl…”
Rian chuckled and shook his head.
“From today, Isabella has become a member of the royal family. It’s not Isabella Velocchi anymore; she received the title of Solébren, becoming Isabella Solébren. And you are insulting Isabella Solébren.”
“Oh, no, I didn’t mean to insult her…!”
“Seeing how you talk about the Empress or whatever, it seems like you know Isabella has become the Empress. However, why can’t you have a simple thought that every action you take against her is considered insulting the nobility? How foolish. It worked out well. I should just finish it all now.”
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.
