He, who suggested the bet first, kissed her cheek while she was looking at the sun. He was kissed on the lips as a penalty. The touch of her soft yet warm lips was so vivid.
“….”
Hyacinth sighed. The longing piled up day by day, pressing down on him. The weight of emotions was too heavy and heavy, but because it was invisible, he couldn’t show it to others how hard it was.
Then there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The one who entered the office was another secretary. The secretary, who came in with an urgent face, approached Hyacinth and handed him a thin piece of paper.
“Your Majesty. The investigation results regarding the matter you mentioned before have been released.”
The chief secretary glared at the secretary who had just entered. The look on his face was like saying, ‘There’s more than one issue! You have to say what the issue is first!’, but the new secretary did not notice due to nervousness.
Without a word, Hyacinth pulled out the cover of the paper and examined the inside. In it, there were the results of the investigation into the disappearance of all the letters and gifts he had sent to Latil over the last three years.
According to the report, about half of the gifts were safely dispatched from Karisen. However, about half were stolen without even leaving Karisen.
The culprit who stole the letters and gifts is presumed to be the Duke. Even if he wasn’t the one who stole them, it is clear that he ordered to hide the fact that your property had been stolen.
The investigator wrote a list of the managers who had lost the gifts, stating that it was already confirmed, and that they had been bribed and threatened by the Duke to keep their mouths shut.
“Duke…”
After reading the report, Hyacinth crumpled the document with a thump.
The Duke. The father of Empress Aini, he had been trying to monitor the emperor frequently since Hyacinth ascended to the emperor’s throne. He couldn’t even write a personal letter until he sent a marriage proposal to a foreign country.
As Hyacinth solidified his power, the situation gradually reversed, but there were still many things that bothered him.
Hyacinth couldn’t recognize Aini as his wife, or as the Empress, because of this.
He knew that she didn’t actively help her father. But she didn’t stop him knowing this, and she took full advantage of the benefits that the Duke had achieved.
No, rather, when the Duke investigated Hyacinth’s every move and reported it, she read the information and used it.
However, Hyacinth did not even feel betrayed by her. He couldn’t help it. From the beginning, they weren’t a couple, but shared a crown, and Aini was not his wife, but the Duke’s child.
Hyacinth exhaled a heavy breath, took out a cigarette from inside his desk, lit it, and put it in his mouth. As he closed his eyes and exhaled smoke, his anger burned even darker, but his head cooled down.
“What will you do, Your Majesty?”
“I’ll blow it up all at once. Gather this as well.”
“Yes.”
Hyacinth could have placed a bet of 1 billion bart. Even if the Duke’s child is born to the empress, he would have been a figure capable of assassination.
Aini would mock his corpse joyfully, claiming she finally made him pay the price for killing her lover.
“For now… Roert.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Bring me the letter.”
“Yes.”
On the letter brought by the chief secretary, Hyacinth quickly jotted down the story to tell Latil. Half of it was gone here, and the other half had disappeared in Tarium. Latil also had to know this fact and prepare for it.
After quickly jotting down the story to tell Latil, Hyacinth put it in an envelope, sealed it well with wax, and then handed it back to the chief secretary.
“Don’t send it through the mail, have someone trustworthy deliver it directly. Like when I sent the marriage delegation before, you can go disguised as another delegation.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
[This is the time separator]On the evening of the day the incident occurred, Latil went to Guesta without a second thought.
It was not only to comfort Guesta but also a kind of warning to the person who threw the stone. If you bully someone, I will take more care of the person being bullied.
“Your… Your Majesty?”
Even though Guesta must have heard that Latil was coming, he was flustered and unable to compose himself when she arrived.
“Are you okay?”
Latil took the flustered Guesta to the bed, sat him down, and asked while checking his hair. This must have been where the stone hit, she thought, and checked his head, but his forehead and head were clean.
‘Ah. He said he wasn’t hit.’
His escort cum attendant said he had deflected it with his sword. Remembering this late, Latil stopped fiddling with Guesta’s hair and withdrew her hand.
Guesta shivered as if a strong static electricity had jumped when Latil’s fingertips touched him.
“I’m fine, I wasn’t hit.”
“Your guard seems quite skilled.”
“Yes. Because I’m weak, my father carefully selected him.”
Upon hearing that, Latil blinked at the sudden thought that came to her mind.
‘Was Guesta weak?’
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.
