Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 138
Gilrod smiled with satisfaction as he saw the carriage bearing the royal crest entering the castle grounds. His daughter, coaxed back with sweet words and a few lashes of the whip, had returned to him in no time—a clear demonstration that no amount of gentle cajoling could ever rival a single strike.
Standing beside his daughter as she stepped down from the carriage was a tall knight with fiery red hair. Gilrod recognized him instantly—the Second Sword of the Royal House.
This knight, who shared command of the king’s army alongside Soar of the North, was of Chesa origin and had been personally entrusted by the king to his queen.
As if foreseeing his own inability to return, the king had left behind for his queen a portion of the royal army. Though new conscripts had been levied to fill the resulting vacancies, they could hardly be expected to match the competence of the departed. Only upon their return from the mountain range would the newly formed troops begin to resemble a proper fighting force.
Of course, the king would never return from those mountains. Gilrod anticipated news of the king’s death to arrive any day now. Given that messengers from the mountains were due shortly, the tidings he so eagerly awaited might already be on their way.
“Oh, hello, Father.”
His daughter bowed deeply as she approached him with affected grace. Gilrod smiled, pleased that Sianna finally seemed to understand her place—though that satisfaction vanished the moment he caught sight of the tall knight standing beside her.
Hazelle Chesa, despite having come as his daughter’s escort, offered him only the briefest of nods. Her demeanor stood in stark contrast to Sianna, who trembled beside her as if on the verge of prostration.
Gilrod cleared his throat pointedly at the woman’s stiff posture, but she didn’t so much as raise an eyebrow.
Though infuriated by her rudeness, he couldn’t directly demand a proper greeting from her. Unlike Salode Chesa, his own subordinate among the administrators, this knight held one of the two highest positions in the military—and thus ranked above him, despite his role as royal financial advisor.
Her arrogance wouldn’t last much longer. Gilrod shot the haughty knight a sidelong glare before turning his back. After all, someone like her—without noble lineage or inheritance—would be no better than a bird with clipped wings once the king was gone.
Regardless, the evening’s purpose was to bring his daughter together with Lochiden, so a banquet had been prepared. Gilrod deliberately seated Lochiden and Sianna side by side.
Lochiden seemed quite taken with Sianna. Unusually humble for a man of his station, he even spoke to her using honorifics.
“You’re very shy, aren’t you? That’s quite all right. A woman ought to possess a quiet charm.”
“I-I suppose so…”
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.
