“Then now, he won’t be the only one. My mother is also Oder.”
“That’s correct.”
Roben nodded.
“The Duke can move the books. Even so, the books couldn’t be taken out of the vault.”
Soon, a dove flew in through the window and folded its wings.
Reading the message sent by Mariela, Iris handed a note to Leon and said,
“If you can’t move the books outside the vault, it seems that the protective barrier is not for guarding the prophecy but rather a restriction preventing them from being taken out.”
“You could think that way. Until now, we believed that only possessors could enter inside.”
Elysia asked in response to Esho’s words, “Then what should we do?”
“We may need to figure out how the protective barrier works and potentially undermine the vault itself.”
There seemed to be no quiet way to handle the prophecy.
“I want to get rid of that book as soon as possible.”
Leon held Elysia’s hand, which had been placed on the table.
“I don’t want to leave Elysia here even for a moment.”
“I cannot assure that Harusha is safe.”
They hadn’t anticipated Sabiel to forcefully intrude. While there were rules and procedures to be followed for the dignity of the Crown Prince, Sabiel ignored everything and rampaged.
“He might be under a deep implication. When the time comes, he may become more obsessed with Elysia, especially at certain keywords.”
“Perhaps when Karina mentioned that she was pregnant, he entered a predetermined role play.”
Unperturbed by Esho’s informal tone, Leon asked, “Role play?”
Everyone fell silent at his question. Iris opened her mouth with a conflicted expression.
“This is a world inside the book. Events that affect the main storyline naturally, or through hints, are engraved in the minds. I thought it would be better for me, as a person from this world, to explain it rather than other possessors who might not understand.”
“The prophecy has a predetermined flow of time. However, the tragic event of the woman clinging to Sabiel because he had a child did not happen, and time has passed.”
“Then what happens? Does that event not occur?”
“No. Duke, you know it too. Coercion is at play.”
Leon chuckled in the heavy air. “You don’t need to make such faces. Isn’t this why we’re moving like this, to prevent things from unfolding as they are?”
“Yes, anyway, we need to further investigate the vault today.”
Two possessors, two non-possessors but priests, and the protagonist quickly dispersed the awkward gathering.
While unbinding the bandages and keeping the hood pressed down, Leon left Roben’s room, accompanied by Elysia.
As Leon and Elysia naturally walked through the garden, Elysia commented, “Harusha is much larger than I thought.”
“Adjacent to the royal palace, and with the opening of prayer meetings, there are designated areas where ordinary believers can enter.”
Elysia glanced at Leon without realizing it. “Are you okay?”
“What?”
“You might not be in a good mood.”
Reading the contents of the prophecy as events that will happen in the future? The only people who could read the book out of mere curiosity were those who did not appear in the book.
“Well. I don’t really care that much.”
“Really?”
Whenever Elysia read the prophecy, her heart felt heavy.
That book was a shackle.
He was the culprit who pushed himself, destined to die, and the mother Mariela who gave birth to him into agony.
So, Leon was worried about what he would think when he read the prophecy.
“Your future is written.”
As the protagonist of the book, Leon’s story is the most extensively written.
“Rather, I wondered how you would feel.”
“Me?”
Leon stopped his slow pace, looking at Elysia.
“It must have been tough for you.”
Elysia’s eyes widened.
There were behaviors that were sometimes hard to understand. “I like you, and I hope you stay by my side. Why does Elysia make such decisions?”
Leon spoke, and then sighed, feeling frustrated.
“When I read that book, I thought I might understand. Anyone would. If their own future is written like that, and it actually becomes one or two realities, it’s not easy to easily escape from there.”
“…Leon.”
Tuck.
Leon’s hand rested on her head.
Tuck. Tuck.
“You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?”
Ah. Elysia melted in the gaze of Leon, who pitied her.
Lifetime habits and thoughts don’t change suddenly.
Accidents often flowed negatively, and conclusions were reached in an escapist manner.
Unlike Rona when she lost her memory.
She had always been afraid that he would be disappointed in her for being that way.
Elysia couldn’t love herself to the extent of those aspects, and Leon suspected that he couldn’t either.
But Leon told her that he loved her just as she was.
As if confirming it several times.
There was a wall in her heart.
Even her mother, Mariela, detached her from Harusha, “to live without dying,” and “to avoid the contents of the prophecy,” pushing her into the unfamiliar world.
The self-erected wall was a self-defense mechanism to avoid getting hurt.
And above all of that was the existence of the prophecy.
But as Leon poured his affection on her, the layers of walls surrounding her heart melted away and disappeared.
‘I also… I also want to honestly tell him.’
When he confessed his love to her, Elysia couldn’t say the same words.
She hadn’t fully accepted his feelings yet.
Even so. Even so…
Even after looking at the prophecy that was the bottom of her life, she felt like crying and wanting to act like a child when Leon comforted her, saying, ‘It must have been tough.’
“Wait for a moment.”
While Elysia was unsure of what to do, Leon began to pick the flowers growing beautifully in one part of the garden.
‘Those are the flowers that Priest Kyori grows.’
Among the carefully cultivated flowers by Priest Kyori, Leon picked a few of the most beautiful ones and offered them to Elysia.
“Take it.”
“Thank you.”
“I won’t make you lonely.”
His confession continued.
“I won’t let you worry, be sad, or hurt alone.”
Even thinking that there should be flowers in a confession, how lovely it was.
…Lovely.
“Trust me, Elysia.”
Now, it seemed like Elysia could properly respond to Leon’s confession.
“I love you, Leon.”
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.
