The confidant lowered his eyes and then shook his head.
“It’s hard to believe there was a communication mismatch at the Lorentz estate in the first place. It’s confusing because Lorentz’s daughter didn’t follow the plan. So, either Hubert Lorentz didn’t give proper instructions or the Lorentz girl pretended not to understand.”
The king recalled Eigraine’s demure face.
‘There was nothing particularly odd about her.’
Calm, quiet, unassuming. In a word, a well-behaved woman.
That was his impression of Eigraine Lorentz.
She was somewhat pretty, but not outstanding in the social circles filled with beauties.
“Even if she’s smart and loyal, she’s still an unmarried young woman. Maybe she schemed because she didn’t want to sully herself with a barbarian.”
“That might be the case.”
“Whatever her motive, it’s quite clever. She managed to get a reaction from that gruff barbarian, which we can use.”
The king smiled contentedly.
“Eigraine Lorentz, no, my new daughter, send her a lavish gift. She may not be my blood, but as a father, I should show my generosity.”
“I’ll do as you wish.”
“Given a title and cared for by me, she’d be ungrateful not to be moved.”
The king was relaxed. He visualized Eigraine moving as he wished.
Knock knock.
The attendant who had been standing outside entered and bowed respectfully.
“Your Highness, the princess has arrived at your summons.”
The king’s face brightened.
“Let her in.”
The door opened, and a beautiful woman in an elegant dress walked in.
Each step she took was dripping with adorable elegance.
“I have come at your summons, Father.”
It was not the fake princess for use but the true jewel of the royal family, Lalahtu Lakshio Luwiosa.
“I shall return later, then.”
The confidant tactfully left.
The princess took his seat.
Her long, elaborately adorned golden hair, bright blue eyes, and baby-soft cheeks were incredibly lovely.
She looked at Hermannon curiously, wondering why she was called.
“I summoned you because we won’t see each other much starting tomorrow. I have something to tell you.”
The king’s voice was very gentle and soft.
Unlike his usual irritable self, he was different towards his beloved daughter.
“Command me.”
The princess replied with a melodious voice, looking down.
As the only child of the king, she had been somewhat willful, but as she aged, she became more dignified.
But the king’s reaction was mixed.
“Why do you speak like that?”
“Hehe.”
A light laugh burst out.
Lalahtu, startled, covered her mouth with her palm, then slowly lowered it and fidgeted.
The king clicked his tongue.
“Reading those vulgar novels again?”
“Don’t say that. Don’t I look demure and dignified? I thought you’d like it!”
Lalahtu quickly reverted to her natural tone.
She was addicted to popular novels, especially turbulent romantic ones.
“Weren’t you told not to read such things? There are theological novels too. You used to read them well.”
“Of course, I’ve read all of Dufeng’s books! I read others because I had time left.”
“Oh dear.”
“……But I’ve reduced it lately.”
The princess slumped her shoulders, looking like a puppy with drooping ears.
Hermannon almost clicked his tongue but then smirked.
‘I did well to have such a daughter.’
He was about to smile fondly but frowned.
Suddenly, he remembered the talk of marriage with the empire.
Sending such a lovely and beloved daughter to a barbarian of the empire was an unthinkable act.
Just the thought of that empire’s barbarian stationed in a corner of the royal palace felt like a heavy stone in the king’s chest.
The king hardened his face and spoke sternly.
“You haven’t forgotten, have you? During the banquet, you must stay in your room. You must not come down to the banquet hall.”
The princess hesitated briefly at his words and then replied somewhat sulkily.
“Yes.”
“Don’t even think about going out. Stay in your room at all times.”
“But Father, is it really necessary to go that far…”
The king’s gaze turned menacing.
“Is, it……?”
Bang!
As the king slammed his hand on the table, the startled princess flinched.
“Good heavens! How dare you question your father’s words!”
“…….”
“I know you’re feeling cooped up. I’ve instructed your maids to prepare some activities for you. You won’t be bored.”
“…….”
“Even after the banquet, the same applies. Limit your outings as much as possible, especially avoid the annex where the prince is staying.”
The princess, who seemed to be listening quietly, pouted her pink lips. It was an expression she often made as a child when something didn’t please her. Her composed demeanor from just moments ago completely vanished.
“Princess, why aren’t you answering?”
She looked straight into the king’s eyes and asked.
“Is that man really that cruel?”
“What?”
“Father, aren’t we being too prejudiced? Even in novels, there are so many stories of people suffering from their prejudices.”
She was referring to those popular novels.
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.
