“Thanks to the saintess, I feel much better.”
Tobias stood up from his seat, swinging his arm around.
I swallowed dryly.
He may look fine, but the pain he must be feeling is beyond imagination.
“The doctor can come see me later. The saintess has treated me so well that I don’t know if I need to go there.”
He glanced at the diplomatic delegation.
“For now… shouldn’t we protect the saintess?”
“You are right, Deputy Commander, saintess! We will escort you to the annex.”
I made a quick decision.
It would only look suspicious if I insisted on sending him to the doctor even though Tobias said he was fine.
‘There’s no other way.’
For now, I have no choice but to believe that Tobias will hold up well.
I nodded my head and turned my body toward the viceroy.
“Viceroy, is it okay to move now?”
“……It’s fine.”
The viceroy’s eyebrows twitched. He seemed surprised that I went along quietly without protesting.
‘Of course.’
I knew my role well.
A government firm enough to make the princess feel threatened and humiliated.
‘I must not carelessly challenge.’
After Tobias was injured, the road to the annex with the delegation was as quiet as a dead mouse.
Occasionally, the knights glared at the delegation, but none of them uttered anything problematic.
Finally arriving at the annex, the viceroy briefly greeted me.
“Thank you, saintess. Thanks to you, we were able to get here safely.”
Although there was a hint of sarcasm, I answered politely.
“I’m just glad I could help, Your Highness.”
“…….”
The viceroy led the diplomatic delegation into the annex without saying anything.
‘Phew.’
Just when I let my guard down, I heard a word that made me doubt my ears.
“Saintess, are you alright?”
I looked at Tobias incredulously.
The one who should be asked if he’s okay was me.
Not this man.
In the end, I couldn’t help but open my mouth.
“……Why did you do that?”
“Excuse me?”
“Why did you do that?”
Tobias’s answer was somewhat slow in coming.
“How can I just watch the saintess being insulted by such a scoundrel?”
I tightened my lips.
To others’ ears, it would only sound like he was talking about threatening the viceroy.
But the reality was different.
At least I was talking about Tobias bravely standing by my side despite the pain.
And there was a high chance that Tobias knew that too.
“……Don’t do this next time.”
“I can’t promise you that.”
Tobias’s deep purple eyes harbored a strange light.
“Protecting the saintess is my duty.”
“I can take care of myself to some extent.”
I answered coldly.
“And instead of arguing about everything, go see a doctor. This is an order.”
Fortunately, Tobias didn’t ignore the command.
He earnestly asked the other knights to escort me to my room, then headed in the opposite direction to find the doctor.
My heart felt much lighter, but my head was complicated.
Why did Tobias go so far?
‘It would have been much easier to just pretend to faint…’
It was hard to explain with just loyalty to Hades or a sense of duty to me.
‘……What could it be?’
It seemed like it would be hard to fall asleep tonight.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The concern brought an unexpected result.
“My, look at your swollen face. I told you not to overdo it……!”
“I couldn’t help it yesterday.”
I yawned and got up.
I thought the envoy would have arrived yesterday. Even though I was sick, I had to push myself.
“Ugh…….”
I tried to get out of bed, but dizziness overcame me, and I laid my head back down on the pillow.
“Are you alright, Saintess?”
Carefully opening my eyes, I saw Amy examining my complexion with a worried expression.
“It was just a momentary dizziness. What’s the schedule for today?”
“There is breakfast, but… seeing your condition, it would be a disaster if you went. I’ll tell His Grace that you should rest.”
“No.”
I answered firmly.
“It’s the first meal with the envoy; I can’t be absent.”
Amy put her hands on her hips and glared at me.
I cleared my throat.
Amy, who had always shown me a cheerful face, seemed strangely fierce this morning.
“What if you collapse by forcing yourself to go? It’s a diplomatic faux pas.”
“Amy, when did you start using such difficult words?”
“Don’t change the subject.”
Amy responded firmly.
“Where are you going with that body? I’ll speak well to His Grace, so please rest today, Saintess.”
I made a face.
Should I really tell Hades Croitner about my condition?
“It’s just fatigue.”
That excuse didn’t fly with Amy.
“If you get tired twice, you’ll be gone.”
“Amy…….”
I tried an illfitting act of coquetry, but I ended up sitting back down on the bed under Amy’s sharp gaze.
“Okay, how about after breakfast, what’s the rest of the schedule?”
“…… Let’s hear from the doctor first.”
“The doctor won’t have a bright idea either. It’s just that my body’s naturally weak.”
Indeed, the resident doctor in the Duke’s castle had said the same thing.
That my body was weak, and I had no choice but to be careful.
But there was one thing I could rely on.
“Try something, Denesor.”
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.
