“The First Prince is right, Your Majesty. In times like these, there’s no rule that says the elder must marry before the younger. We can’t keep them waiting.”
“Hmm. If Kahilrun thinks so, then let it be.”
With the King relenting, the Queen sighed. Kahilrun averted his gaze from her.
Floria Violet, sitting beside the frustrated Eric, appeared innocently oblivious to everything being discussed.
However, Kahilrun, who had seen all sorts of people on numerous battlefields, saw through her fragile mask.
Even now, she placated Eric with an angelic expression, but her jaw was clenched in frustration.
“Well, let’s proceed with Eric’s marriage first, but you too should start looking for a spouse. I already have someone in mind.”
Floria clutched her dress tightly.
“First, we should focus on Eric’s marriage…”
“But at this rate, when will he marry? He’s already twenty-five. It’s already quite late. Along with Eric’s marriage, we should also decide on a partner for Kahilrun. I have someone in mind.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“The Princess of Etra. She’s still unmarried and of similar age to Kahilrun. As we maintain good relations with that kingdom, it would surely benefit our country.”
The King’s intention was clear; he had already been exchanging friendly letters with the King of Etra. His mention of the Princess was practically urging Kahilrun to marry her.
The Queen’s face contorted in displeasure.
Even if Floria was favored by the people, the thought of her son marrying merely a daughter of a fallen noble, while Kahilrun was to wed a princess, was unacceptable to her.
As Kahilrun contemplated marriage and the possibility of becoming more closely tied with Etra, the thought of the people’s support shifting towards him made the Queen’s blood boil.
She wasn’t the only one harboring such thoughts. Floria, maintaining a calm facade, was equally displeased with the situation.
Her position in the palace wasn’t yet solidified, and the entry of the Princess of Etra would inevitably lead to unfavorable comparisons. Floria needed to delay Kahilrun’s marriage until she fully controlled the royal court.
Moreover, in their kingdom, marriage was a prerequisite for ascending the throne. Therefore, preventing Kahilrun’s marriage was crucial. But in the current setting, there was little Floria could do. She bit the inside of her cheek in frustration.
“It has been only a few hours since the end of the long war and your return. Discussing marriage now seems a bit hasty while the victory celebration is still ongoing.”
Kahilrun cut in nonchalantly. Floria looked at him, puzzled by his stance, but his expression was unreadable behind the mask.
Kahilrun, noticing Floria’s reaction, let out a short laugh. For someone who played the part of a benevolent figure so well, she was poor at managing her expressions.
“Eventually, I will have to marry. The Princess of Etra is fine with me.”
Royal marriages were often entangled with interests, and Kahilrun was aware of that. He planned to marry accordingly, knowing the Princess of Etra would be beneficial to him.
However, as he spoke, the face of someone who had playfully fluttered in his mind flashed before his eyes.
Kahilrun slowly rubbed his fingers together, feeling a peculiar sensation.
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.
