A few days later, during the day.
It was around the time when the carriage began to run through the garden.
“Our own city date! I’m so excited, Lady Bee!”
Bianca, watching the mansion gradually getting farther outside the window, shouted with excitement.
Bianca and I decided to take some time to tour the northern city by ourselves before heading to the capital for the Emperor’s birthday celebration.
It was a sudden promise made this morning during our visit to the Dark Garden and our conversation.
“If I knew you’d like it this much, I would have taken you out more often.”
I nodded, patting Bianca’s sunny head while smiling.
“Me too, Bianca. Today, let’s go wherever you want. It will be fun anywhere with you.”
“Hehe, me too! Maybe because the promise was made suddenly, it feels even more exciting!”
It was when our hands, like ferns, were tightly holding each other.
The carriage, which had been running, reached the front gate and suddenly came to a stop.
“May I open the window for a moment?”
The knight outside the carriage politely requested, knocking on the window.
It seemed that the recent security around the castle had indeed become stricter.
‘They would send me away quickly once they know who I am, anyway.’
With that thought, I casually opened the window.
“Lady Bee…!”
The knight’s face turned pale at the sight of me.
‘Is there still someone left in this castle who turns pale just by seeing me?’
As I wondered with a smirk, the knight hastily shouted to the surroundings.
“Lady Bee is inside the carriage!”
Then, there was a buzz around the carriage.
“Lady Bee?!”
“What are you hesitating for! Report to Duke immediately!”
“Oh, yes… Yes!”
The lower-ranking knight who received the order hurriedly ran towards the Light Mansion.
Then, the knight standing in front of the window awkwardly spoke again.
“Lady, I’m sorry, but please wait for a moment. You cannot leave the castle gate right now.”
“What does that mean?”
Rather than stopping people from entering the castle, the guards were preventing someone from leaving. And that someone was me?
“Why are you holding me and Lady Bee? Is there something wrong in the Dark Mansion? Just this morning when I left the Light Mansion, there was nothing wrong…”
Bianca also seemed as puzzled as I was.
When the knight widened his eyes in surprise, he hesitated for a moment and then urgently exclaimed to the surroundings.
“Lady, I’m sorry, but you have to wait for a moment. You cannot leave this gate right now because it is Duke’s orders.”
“Bianca, not me?”
At that moment, when Bianca and I exchanged perplexed glances, a young knight’s shout came from the garden behind the carriage.
“And here comes Duke!”
Soon after, the carriage door was opened forcefully.
From the garden behind the carriage, the young knight’s shout could be heard.
And not long after, the carriage door was opened abruptly.
Bam! At that moment, what appeared outside the open door was Cedric with a noticeably solemn expression.
“Rebecca, where are you going?”
After exhaling rough breath for a while, he asked with a frowning expression.
His tie was in disarray, and his usually neat hair was now tousled.
Despite that, he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt in frustration and leaned against the doorway, observing me with one arm on the frame.
Gradually, his eyes became sharper.
“Your schedule today clearly did not include going out.”
Although quite some time had passed since returning from the Grayzone Village, Cedric’s anger towards me had not yet subsided.
‘No matter how you look at it, it’s too much. Is he keeping me like this because of a mistake I made that day?’
It was a moment of resentment.
Bianca, who had been observing the situation from behind, suddenly stuck her face out.
“Duke?”
Cedric’s two eyes widened slowly, clearly unexpected by Bianca’s appearance.
“Bianca, why are you here…?”
“Why wouldn’t I be? We were out for a city tour together.”
Answering on behalf of Bianca, Cedric blinked his eyes slowly with a puzzled expression.
Then, with a relieved expression, he sighed lowly.
“…Thank goodness.”
I opened my eyes, staring at Cedric, who was muttering incomprehensible words.
“Why are the knights holding the carriage I’m in? I know you’re angry with me, but this is too much!”
As I strongly protested, Cedric blinked his eyes slowly in apparent confusion.
“Rebecca, it’s not like that…”
Suddenly stopping his words, Cedric bit his lower lip.
A perplexed expression appeared prominently on his face.
“…Good grief, I can’t even come up with an excuse.”
Cedric swept his forehead with his large hand a couple of times.
As a result, the disheveled bangs covered one of his eyes.
It was a disheveled appearance that was incomparable to the usually flawless one.
The knight who had been holding the carriage all along approached cautiously.
“Your Grace, what should we do? Shall I send Lady back?”
At the same time, an inexplicable anxiety began to color Cedric’s eyes again.
“Hey, look at that, Lady Bee! There are colorful sugar cookies!”
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.
