Irriel recalled the time just before Cassard’s enrollment into École Parsard when he was at his worst.
He had acted as if he would kill anyone who touched him; it was an impressionable memory.
Irriel had often wondered why he hated joining the military academy so much, thinking that if Attila’s children were dying, and the two had shared this concern.
During École Parsard’s holiday season, he would always go to Lindköm, searching his territory for someone. Though they realized later that it wasn’t about the enrollment, it was something else.
Irriel, who had wanted to help, had also visited the Lindköm mansion under the pretext of recuperation, but never found the person in question.
He had learned of this first love from a drunken Cassard, speaking to Attila.
Now, years had passed, and at the time of their graduation from École Parsard, he seemed to have forgotten his first love entirely…
“So then… the person you were searching for so desperately… was that woman?”
“So don’t speak such nonsense in front of the woman who even has my child, and let the Grand Duchess and you two finish the conversation yourselves.”
“…Alright. Even so, regardless of her being your first love or how hard you looked for her, the Grand Duchess will never allow a commoner woman by your side.”
“Permission?”
The crazed man, who had been doing things uncharacteristic of himself, had completely vanished.
Despite talking about his mother, he wore a cynical smile. Only he could make such a mockery concerning the Duchess of Blahnath.
“I will grant the permission. I, the head of the Blahnath family.”
“Even so… His Majesty will never allow it. You must understand this…”
“I was already thinking about this since you two kept mentioning the Grand Duke title. Rather than granting me the title of Grand Duke, wouldn’t marrying me to Skaha be of more help to His Majesty?”
“What on earth…!”
The man who was to become the CommanderinChief, who had been weighing the Grand Duke title as though it were on a scale, tilted his head with a strange smile.
“It means I’m willing to do something I wouldn’t even if forced. The Duke of Blahnath, a symbol of the aristocrats, marries a commoner woman from Ébéren… It’s quite a good ploy to appease the Bakhra class, isn’t it?”
“Ah…!”
Watching Irriel take a breath as though astounded, Cassard lifted one corner of his mouth in a jest. The woman’s reaction was quite intense for one who scorned ungraceful behavior.
It seemed as though he could easily imagine the reactions of others.
“I’m telling you this in advance since you’re to become the Empress.”
“No… but, but even so… Imperial law isn’t mere decoration…”
Irriel’s voice stammered and grew fainter. Cassard decided not to fluster her further.
I had something to ask Iriel, so I didn’t want to make it more complicated and provoke resentment.
Attila wouldn’t have been negligent in escorting the prospective empress to the front line. Cassard needed that escort now.
Though I wanted to send ample forces on the escort mission to send Scáthach to Conwell, the situation didn’t allow it.
Cassard had now adopted a reasonable and calm attitude, unlike earlier.
“I understand. And what His Highness Agnomon is worried about.”
“…….”
“If you plan to return by train, I’ll have a vehicle take you to Lindkome Station.”
“I cannot get into the car without a gentleman’s company.”
“That rule does not apply to military vehicles. Rakhan is not a noble gentleman, but he will accompany you.”
The man who usually doesn’t ask twice was being overly kind in explaining, so Iriel’s eyes narrowed.
Even though the engagement with Cassard had come to nothing, Iriel who had watched him since he started walking, was not the one who wouldn’t notice that something was odd.
“What’s your scheme?”
“Scheme? What scheme?”
He was not benevolent to Iriel anymore.
But she knew right after getting into the car why he had offered a vehicle that only the admiral could use, and moreover, one reserved for emergencies.
With the thought of why Attila railed at Cassard so much.
He had brought her in front of the emergency admiral’s military vehicle, where Iriel had already boarded.
Cassard’s woman.
The woman carrying his child.
A beautiful woman who, while holding the admiral’s hand tightly, looked puzzled and innocent, regardless of what others saw.
“His Highness Agnomon also wants to stop by Conwell and talk to the Duchess, so he’d like to go with Scáthach. If His Highness Agnomon approves, that is.”
He had escorted her to the car suspiciously kindly. If she refused this, wouldn’t she have to get out of the high military vehicle awkwardly?
Moreover, she didn’t want to offend the woman carrying Cassard’s child.
“If you needed my permission, you would have asked earlier, right? Do as you please, Admiral.”
“Then thank you.”
In the spacious military vehicle, next to Iriel sat the captain of the imperial guards assigned by Attila himself, and beside Scáthach sat Rakhan.
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.
