Normally, Mila would have ignored the words she didn’t want to respond to, pretending not to hear. However, Mila’s recent reaction was quite different from usual.
Although it was on a minimal level compared to others, there was a clear emotional fluctuation.
Sara quickly noticed that Mila was acting differently than usual, and skillfully continued the conversation, subtly scratching Mila’s nerves. She didn’t forget to mockingly laugh at intervals as well.
“Yeah, who would’ve known you were so cunning in deceiving people? You thoroughly deceived our Princess Anette. Is that all? You returned the golden lily, but at night, you came secretly and withered it. The princess took such good care of it, not even aware of your ingratitude. I don’t know how much the princess was saddened by seeing the lily in that state. It was really tough to comfort her.”
As Sara shook her head, other maids standing nearby patted her shoulder as if comforting her. They seemed like a condensed version of Princess Anette’s group, behaving just like them.
Mila redirected her attention away from Sara, staring at the notebook in her hand.
It was a deliberate gesture, but in reality, not a single word from the contents of the notebook caught her eye. Moreover, the notebook had fewer things to report than on other days.
The issue was that it seemed like even the other maids believed Sara’s words.
While Sara was talking, except for Bess, the other maids were standing at a distance, glancing at Mila with eyes as cold as Sara’s.
Mila, who was secretly acknowledged by the head maid, felt both envious and proud. Even Mila’s trivial actions seemed precious because of her status.
“If someone sees, they might think she’s the princess.”
“Look at how she pretends to be high and mighty. Could you be any more careful? Can’t you at least stand next to her?”
The words, as if shouting to be heard, flew into Mila’s chest and stung like needles. However, Mila calmly continued reading her notebook without any hesitation. Bes, who was not usually present, stepped forward to block Mila’s way.
“Why are you doing this? There’s no need for us to fight among ourselves. Sara, stop it. Why are you doing this to Mila? And honestly, we all saw that day. Princess Anette picked and discarded the flower, saying that Stella Princess should take it. How is that stealing?”
As Bes took a stand, Sara, unable to control her anger, shouted with a reddened face.
“That’s where the problem lies. Even at that time, Princess Stella knew it was a golden lily, which means she must have asked for it. She took it without saying a word, even though she knew it would turn gold if she waited a bit. Our innocent Princess Anette, not knowing any of this, generously gave away other seedlings as well. Betraying people’s kindness like this is not right.”
Hearing Sara’s words, murmurs spread among the other maids. Some looked at Sara and Mila with puzzled expressions alternately.
“So she took it again. She came to Verdura Castle, pulled out all the carefully grown golden lilies, and took them away. Why?”
Bess, now even putting her hands on her hips, spoke boldly. It was due to her nature that, as she spoke, her anger surged more and more.
“Haven’t you heard? Princess Stella secretly came at night and made all the golden lilies unusable?”
“Princess Stella? Is she your friend? How dare you casually call the princess?”
“Me, when did I! You must have misheard!”
Calling the princess casually was an obvious mistake, so Sara insisted that Bess had misunderstood.
“Did you see it? Princess Stella idly coming to someone else’s garden and making flowers unusable? That’s delusional paranoia.”
The fight between Mila and Sara now warped into a quarrel between Bess and Sara. Mila, looking more tired than before, closed her notebook and stood up from her seat.
If Sara had said something only to her, she could have continued to pretend not to hear. However, unintentionally, Bess intervened, complicating the situation.
“What? What did you just say? Are you saying Princess Anette is delusional?”
“You, what did you say? Have your ears gone deaf? Should I open them up for you?”
Bess had no intention of backing down either.
After the last conversation with Mila, Sara and her cronies carefully thought about their attitude towards me. It was because I had come to a clear realization that they were using me.
Now, I had no intention of being manipulated by them in any way.
Mila seemed indifferent, but Bess couldn’t just let it go. In Bess’s eyes, Mila was a much better person than those damn brats.
When Sara growled as if she were about to rush at Bess, the maids around quickly held her back.
“What’s going on here!”
The lady-in-waiting appeared at that moment. Sara, who had been growling as if she were about to tear out Bess’s hair, suddenly became quiet, as if to say, “When did that happen?”
“Mila, Sara, and Bess. Each of you gets a deduction of 10 points. Write the maid’s oath ten times and bring it to me by tomorrow.”
Anne scolded them, including Mila, who was standing up.
“Yes, understood.”
“Yes.”
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.
