I looked at her blankly.
‘Me, a spy from the South?’
Her tone was full of conviction.
Her eyes widened in anger when she saw me.
“Look at this cunning girl!”
Are all Nugents so blunt?
She raised her hand to slap me, but I easily stepped back.
Then she tried again, but Arcadia caught her wrist.
“How dare you lay a hand on someone. What are you doing!”
“How dare? Ha.”
“Apologize. She’s my benefactor.”
“What?”
“Apologize, Lady Nugent.”
“I refuse, Lord Nugent.”
She glared fiercely at me with tearful eyes and quickly left.
Arcadia frowned as if in pain, then sincerely apologized.
“I’m sorry, Estelle.”
“It’s fine. I wasn’t hit.”
‘It won’t be easy.’
If Julia can’t be handled by Arcadia, I need to find another solution. But what?
“Commander, if the Lady knows I lived in the South, she should also know what the Duke did for you. Was she always this hostile?”
“No, not like this.”
He spoke gravely.
I stared intently at Arcadia.
“Then, maybe she has already received the ‘gift’?”
Arcadia’s eyes gleamed sharply.
“How can you be so sure?”
“Just intuition.”
Medea’s gift isn’t just a physical item. It’s a vessel for ‘lies’ and ‘division.’
Julia’s behavior clearly crossed a line.
I considered delivering Hans’s letter of guarantee to the housekeeper but decided to wait for the most opportune moment.
Instead, I began secretly monitoring Julia’s movements, quietly and without telling anyone.
I couldn’t ask Arcadia for help, as his emotions might compromise the task.
‘The gift isn’t just the diamond mine.’
In terms of wealth, the North had far greater resources than the South.
I entered the main castle under the simple pretext of meeting Arcadia. I wanted to discuss Medea’s ‘gift’ with him. “Perhaps around here?” When I reached around the 3rd floor in search of Arcadia, suddenly loud arguing could be heard.
“Julia! You know nothing, you naive foal!” It was Arcadia. The noise came from inside a room adorned with clear crystals, deep in the hallway.
“You’re the one who knows nothing, brother! I’ve guarded this ducal castle even when you were away! I know more about the North than you!”
“What North do you know?”
“The real North! The one you, blinded by the Duke’s words, don’t know!”
“What did you say?”
“You’re the one who knows nothing!”
Julia Nugent growled furiously.
‘Julia Nugent.’
I coldly swallowed her name. Then, feeling an unfamiliar presence behind me, I turned around. There stood Lewine Axel. She nodded lightly at me. Her gaze was not particularly warm, probably having arrived before me and heard the quarreling siblings.
“Fine, fine. Let’s assume you know the North better. But I know the South far better than you. You could be in danger! I’ll show you a video.”
“A video?”
“A video my aide went through great trouble to obtain.”
“That girl is a spy from the South! Foolish brother!”
Bang— the door opened. Julia Nugent stormed out. I looked at her blankly.
‘Me, a spy from the South?’
Her tone was full of conviction. Seeing me, her eyes widened in anger.
“Look at this cunning girl!”
Are all Nugents so blunt?
She raised her hand to slap me, but I easily stepped back. She tried again, but Arcadia caught her wrist.
“How dare you lay a hand on someone. What are you doing!”

‘The gift isn’t just the diamond mine.’
In terms of wealth, the North had far greater resources than the South.
“What. Listening to the truth is the legacy bestowed upon me by my father, the former Regent of the North.”
“Indeed. Lady, you’re more beautiful and wise than anyone I’ve met. Have you seen the Southern spy I mentioned?”
“Yes. The girl with the mask, right? She’s audaciously arrogant.”
“You observed correctly.”
Such absurd conversation unfolds.
That’s it.
After waking from hypnosis, fake princess candidate Cecilia reported to the Emperor that the person who hypnotized her was a man with red hair speaking in a Southern accent.
A reference to the Red Caterpillar.
Medea also heard this.
Medea, you sent the caterpillar here to escape the royal family’s scrutiny, transforming him into a gift to bewitch Lady Nugent.
You expected me to combine forces with your ‘gift.’
That’s why you told me about sending a gift. You hoped I’d remain your Bella.
After a while, the lady left.
I drew my sword from its sheath.
An isolated warehouse in the forest.
A place where no witnesses could emerge.
I briefly turned off the recording stone.
Then, standing on the roof, I imbued my steel sword with energy. The sword vibrated with a silvery glow, beginning to sing.
I thrust it straight into the roof.
The entire roof burst open, and I plummeted down.
The Red Caterpillar’s eyes widened in shock.
Without giving him a moment to blink, I struck his abdomen with the back of my sword, sending him flying through the air.
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.
