The necklace, with a yellow diamond at its center that boasted a powerful presence, was clearly expensive at first glance.
Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to guess how much the Duke’s love was packed into the gift.
‘What did I get for my birthday this year?’
Suddenly remembering, Rellian found the answer.
‘Ah, I got a magic book. And I don’t even know how to use magic.’
Seeing the expression on the verge of crying, Nephir spoke with an even more excited tone.
“Did you hear about it? We were born in the same year. Father said I should also show my face at your debut. We’d look like twins if we match our dresses, and I think it would be pretty. Don’t you think?”
Ah. I didn’t like it. Rellian really didn’t.
Continuously using unpermitted terms like sister or sibling.
Bragging about the gift she received from Father.
‘I’m tired of it all…….’
“Rellian. Why aren’t you speaking?”
Nephir, seeming clueless, pouted her lips and tilted her head.
To Rellian’s eyes, Nephir was always an adorable child.
If the Seres of the De Pont Duke House were vibrant roses, Nephir seemed like a pure lily.
‘And I’m just like a wildflower.’
With no scent, no charm.
It seemed like Father preferred Nephir, and she saw the knights smiling at her more often.
If Nephir was grinning brightly, surely the princess would prefer Nephir over me.
‘The princess is my only friend…….’
“Hey, Rellian. It’s still far in the future, but I want to outshine you at the debut.”
“Do as you wish. I’m not really interested in that…….”
“Oh, my. I’m sorry. I said something unnecessary.”
Nephir, who was speaking casually, suddenly covered her mouth with exaggerated gestures as if she had made a big verbal mistake.
“Huh……?”
“Oh…… well, you’re unwell, so you might not be able to make it to the debut. Unfortunately…….”
It was quite a cruel comment.
Because the innocent face and sharp words that dug into her heart didn’t match at all, Rellian doubted her ears for a moment.
‘Princess. I wish you’d come quickly. No, I wish you wouldn’t come at all…….’
I don’t know what Nephir might do to the princess.
When Rellian bit her lip and stared down, Nephir spoke with a somewhat whimpering voice.
“I’m sorry for the verbal mistake, but honestly, I feel a bit wronged from my point of view. Right? The Duchess was the daughter of a local fief, and our mother was the heir to the pedestal.”
Nephir tilted her head while twirling her purple hair around her index finger.
“But I’m called a bastard, and you’re fully performing the duties of the Duke’s young mistress…….”
Nephir shrugged her shoulders and twisted her lips into a smile.
She couldn’t understand why, even though they had the same father, Rellian was being elevated nobly and she couldn’t even live in the Duke’s house.
The only consolation was that Rellian was physically weak and tenderhearted and couldn’t do anything to her.
“Oh, and did I mention this? I feel like I did, but I also feel like I didn’t.”
Nephir blinked her large eyes and put her index finger on her lips.
“You know…… sometimes they acknowledge a bastard.”
“Acknowledge……?”
“They say it’s possible with the approval of His Majesty, the owner of the imperial power, and the Duke, the representative of the divine power.”
“……!”
Rellian’s eyes widened as she tried to act nonchalant.
Seeing the reaction she wanted, Nephir’s lips curved into a brilliant arc.
“If it’s the request of a royal family member, His Majesty would not refuse, and Father is close to the Duke, so it’s a matter of time. I…….”
Nephir leaned towards Rellian and whispered in her ear.
“……Becoming the first daughter of our family.”
‘Our’ family.
Rellian trembled her lips.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Meanwhile, Evelia, excitedly running out to get a fairytale book, met Icrian after a few steps.
“Where are you going in such a hurry, princess?”
“Ah, fairy book fair, fair, fair! There is no next volume, so I’m going to get it!”
“Such precious steps. I will get it for you. You should stay and chat with Rellian.”
During the unexpectedly swift return to her room.
Evelia, through the crack of the open door, heard the conversation between Rellian and Nepher.
Precisely, from ‘You may not be able to withstand until the debut ball because you’re not well’ onwards.
With her back gently against the wall, Evelia, who heard all the following conversations, turned red with anger.
Hot breath gushed from her nose.
“Calon, don’t stop me.”
“……I’ll watch carefully.”
There was no point in stopping the young lady at that time.
Calon, who had brought his little master from the side, had a good understanding of the young lady’s nature of rushing without seeing anything.
Therefore, he was thinking of intervening only if that child dared to lay a finger on the young lady.
“Just watch. I’m going to give him a real blow. This is my fight, so don’t interfere, Calon.”
Having grown up watching the knights, Evelia’s face tightened as if facing a large battle.
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.
