As if driving out Illeon and Elisia, Lev had them leave, and then his face became cold again.
“It seems like the storm has passed. Mariella, you should explain more to me.”
Mariella nodded.
“Oder is the bloodline of the god guaranteed by the worldview of this world. That was the original setting.”
“So?”
“Oder plays an important role in every event, but, in fact, he is not bound within the worldview. Because he is the protagonist.”
“I see. Then what should Illeon and I do from now on?”
“From now on, we’ll capture Sonatec.”
Mariella’s gaze was firm.
“I don’t have the power to capture him. But Your Highness and Duke can.”
“Don’t you have to appear to catch him? Besides, he uses something like a doppelganger technique?”
“We will set a trap. We have to make it inevitable for him to appear.”
It seems different from before, probably because my daughter came back from death.
Watching Mariella explain various plans with dedication, Lev felt a twinge of conscience.
“My son has been wandering for several days, and I didn’t even welcome him to the engagement?”
There could have been a way to send Illeon and Elisia to a third location.
If we don’t know who will stay anyway, it wouldn’t have been a big problem to send Illeon to the Yutel Mansion. It could also serve as a form of seeking guidance from the Duke externally.
“But I asked him to do that because Illeon would like it.”
Mariella will forever be unaware of Lev’s petty jab that he treated Illeon like a pawn and forced Elisia to stay in the Grand Manor.
Illeon and Elisia, who quietly left the mansion, headed toward the mansion’s sponsor.
Illeon’s gaze sank.
“What are you thinking?”
“Who I am.”
Illeon made a bitter expression.
“I’ve been doing what I chose until now. I believed it. But it’s hard to explain the feeling of seeing evidence that it might not be like that.”
Hearing his words, Elisia wanted to comfort him in some way.
But the right words didn’t come to mind.
Because Elisia had rarely lived a life she had chosen herself.
“Why do you have such an expression?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Tell me.”
Elisia sighed.
“I understand why you’re confused. If you start to doubt that what you’ve chosen so far might have been manipulated by implication, it will be endless.”
She held Illeon’s hand.
“So I want to say something comforting, but I… I’ve never lived as I chose, so I don’t know what to say.”
Elisia smiled weakly.
“So now, I want to think a lot and make many decisions. But it won’t change suddenly.”
It’s overwhelming what to do.
Elisia had no idea how to stop Sonatec, who aims for the new divine seat of this world.
If she followed what Mariella told her, wouldn’t it be a life no different from before?
Living according to what mom decided for me.
But there was no way to reach Sonatec without doing that, so her head was complicated.
“Elisia.”
“Yes?”
“You have only one thing to do.”
Illeon said firmly.
“Being with me, that’s all you need to do. Then, I’ll protect you.”
Elisia hesitated with an awkward expression before lightly pulling Illeon into an embrace.
“Thank you.”
A sandalwood fragrance emanated from him, enveloping her.
“It’s very reassuring.”
“Anyone who touches even a fingertip of yours…”
Just as they stopped, they found themselves in front of the tent where Elisia had been kidnapped.
Illeon’s grip on her hand, which had been holding tightly, tightened.
“I’ll protect you.”
Elisia closed her eyes and leaned her head silently against his arm.
But an unknown anxiety continued to unsettle her chest.
Because of me.
It shouldn’t be that Illeon becomes endangered because of me.
Even though she knew he chose her willingly, Elisia couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt.
The Solar Palace Alhyunsil was filled with an excited atmosphere.
Seeing the Emperor Marcus, who was standing in the room pacing, with a tense expression, Empress Seraphina spoke discontentedly.
“Your Majesty, please calm down.”
“Yeah, yeah. Haha.”
However, he couldn’t hide his good mood.
Soon after, a loud voice called out.
“Lrev Oder Constance, Your Highness, is here.”
A woman with long, wavy hair, red eyes, and a youthful appearance despite her age of thirty-three, entered the Alhyunsil. The vitality surrounding her seemed to have come not from a carriage but from riding a horse directly, as she was dressed in riding attire, and she blended perfectly with Lrev, who was also dressed for riding.
“Oh, Lrev.”
“I hope you have been well, Emperor Your Majesty.”
“You’ve come back well. You’ve come back well.”
He seemed so delighted that tears seemed to gather in Emperor Marcus’s eyes.
“How have you been all this time? Without even a single letter. How can the Imperial Princess travel from one country to another without thinking about it?”
“I had many shortcomings and wanted to broaden my horizons.”
“That’s true, but…”
The Emperor suddenly lost his energy and began to look somewhat like a grandfather.
“Indeed, like a grandfather.”
If he knew that his granddaughter was pregnant, the delicate Emperor might faint. It was fortunate that he could hold his grandson before he got too old.
“By the way, I haven’t found the Imperial Princess Karina yet.”
A few days ago, there was a big commotion at the Grand Manor.
It happened just after Illeon left to chase Elisia. Sabiel rushed into the Grand Manor and caused a commotion, riding a horse himself, causing trouble, so Lev had to knock him out by slashing a sword with runes. Later, Sabiel’s subordinates explained that they had come to greet the news of the Imperial Princess. Still, Lev couldn’t believe their words. Sabiel, who always quarreled with his son, had not been there to see him off, so Lev found it strange.
“It could be an excuse for a greeting, but it might also be to find Karina.”
However, Lev couldn’t casually disclose the pregnancy of another family’s princess to the Emperor. Since it was an insult to the Lady’s family, Lev decided to keep it a secret.
“Nice to see you after a long time, Empress.”
Lev bowed his head, and Empress Seraphina smiled gracefully.
“That’s true, Princess. Since when has the Emperor been looking for the Princess? This person put off an envoy to a country where the Princess had visited several times, and after she left repeatedly, there hasn’t been any response.”
“Yes. It seems that there are many places I want to look around, so I hurriedly traveled and ended up like this.”
Empress Seraphina feigned composure, but her heart was pounding.
‘She surely couldn’t recognize me on the Siren’s ship.’
However, for some reason, Lev’s gaze, looking at her, felt uncomfortable, as if saying, ‘I know everything.’
“Greetings were wrong. I unintentionally greeted you by saying that it’s been a while.”
“Hmm?”
The Emperor, who was drinking tea, opened his eyes wide.
“I saw Empress last week, but I forgot about it.”
Clang.
The teacup in the Empress’s hand fell to the floor and shattered.
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.
