Ah, how long I had waited for this moment. I felt as though my ears were clogged with fat listening to that swine.
“What are you going to tear down!”
“Just in time, the audience is entering.”
With the Emperor’s knights coming up, the wizards who were in the tower hurried into the room of the Tower Master. A pathway cleared as if by the parting of the sea, given the order to kindly make way if the tower’s wizards were to come in.
A group that looked rather pitiful and some who didn’t seem to be in a good mood, who appeared high-standing to anyone watching, quickly entered.
“What is going on here.”
One who looked to be of the highest rank among them spoke first.
“Ah, I apologize for the late introduction. I am Isabella Verochi, here to meet the Tower Master today.”
“And?”
And what? Why are you oppressing the Tower Master like this? Their high-handed attitude was palpable.
The attitude of the tower was infuriatingly the same.
‘I bet he’s friends with that swine.’
Otherwise, why would they be this hostile to someone they’ve just met?
Frowning at such behavior, Ken moved closer to my side, showing his hostility toward him.
“Mind your words, she’s soon to be the Queen Mother.”
“Queen Mother?”
“Yes, and we are the First Imperial Army.”
“Ha. You came without even a notice? The Emperor wouldn’t intend to treat the tower as an enemy. Is this some sort of inspection?”
I looked at the confident man.
“Inspection? You must have a lot of things to hide, considering you thought of ‘inspection’ as soon as you knew I am from the imperial palace.”
“Then why did the Emperor send the future Queen Mother here?”
I looked him up and down with a smirk.
“As I mentioned earlier, I am a woman from the Verochi family. I came here as Shannensia’s sister, and the Emperor was merely concerned for me, so he sent knights.”
“Hmm, so it’s not an inspection?”
“No.”
He clicked his tongue. The man’s attitude, which had been high-handed until now, changed completely.
“Alright, if that’s the case. However, I do want to discuss why you’re binding the Tower Master like this. Are you making the tower an enemy?”
“Yes.”
“Excuse me… yes?”
“Of course. He tried to harm me.”
I answered without hesitation. The Tower Master, who had been silently assessing the situation, roared.
“When did I ever do that!”
“Weren’t you reaching out your vile hand toward me just before the knights came? It could have been a serious issue. If they hadn’t come in just in time…”
I feigned wiping away a tear with my hand.
“Is that true, Shasha?”
“Can… can I speak?”
“Of course. You should, Shasha.”
Shasha’s eyes sparkled. As if filled with a sense of mission, the child nodded her head.
“Yes. The Tower Master threatened me, saying he would prevent me from using magic. He was threatening my sister with his huge hand…”
“No, it’s not true. They are all liars!”
The Tower Master hung his head, but we moved as if we were one body. I spoke, Shasha testified, and immediately after, Ken opened his mouth.
“As soon as we, the Imperial Knights, entered the room, we saw the Tower Master reaching out his vile hand toward Isabella, who will soon be the Queen Mother. If we had been a bit late…”
“That’s not true! Elder Roywick, you know I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Hmm…”
The man who had been talking to me earlier was lost in thought. He seemed to be the next highest-ranking person after the Tower Master.
The Elder Council Chair, likely referring to the Chair of Matop’s Elder Council. That swine may have been elevated to the Lord of Matop, but the position of the Lord of Matop was not one to be attained solely by one’s own power. He was fairly chosen through a vote in the Elder Council.
Although most had been bought off by the current Lord of Matop, the importance of the position he occupied was not trivial.
If one had become the Lord of Matop solely through force, he could have been easily discarded when something like this occurred. That’s only his own opinion. We don’t think so.
However, because he was chosen through a vote, the Lord of Matop represented the thoughts of all of Matop.
‘It seemed to have been different in the past.’
Isabella wasn’t particularly fond of books, so she didn’t know everything, but she did have basic knowledge of the long history of the great empire.
Of course, this included stories about Matop.
In the distant past, Matop served the strongest among them as their Lord. His name was Rediak, a man who possessed absolute power.
There were no problems initially, perhaps because he was a just man. But at some point, he became obsessed with power and eternal life, and ended up doing something he shouldn’t have.
He performed experiments on children to gain eternal life, which eventually came to light, leading to a rebellion in Matop and his subsequent death.
‘Rediak. There were rumors that he was an ageless being. That’s how Isabella knew of this story.’
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.
