Odette was skeptical, but unfortunately, her intuition was correct.
And Odette vaguely heard the story of Louis attending the Belfort Academy.
“What seemed like a curse was actually due to the influence of a relic. I don’t know the details because they haven’t shared it, but it seems to be a very useful case.”
“Really? Well, at least it wasn’t a curse.”
“That’s right. I thought it was just a pretty face value.”
In addition to discussing how unpleasant the Department of Sacred Studies is, Odette added a few words about her upcoming wedding.
The content mainly included her anticipation of going to the palace, the story of the dress Odette gave to Anne-Sophie, and the confirmation that they would have to stay up late on the wedding day.
“Thanks for your time, Anne. I’ll be going now.”
“Oh, Your Grace! I almost forgot. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“A prophecy came to me from you some time ago.”
Anne-Sophie’s prophecies were irregular and came to her mind suddenly in a somewhat disorganized manner.
Because of this, it was often difficult to distinguish whether this was a prophecy or just another random thought in Anne-Sophie’s scattered mind.
Due to this, Anne-Sophie didn’t trust her prophecies very much.
She usually ignored most of her prophecies or, even if she felt something like a prophecy, she didn’t directly tell the person involved.
So, it was rare for her to talk about it like this.
“I tried to ignore it as much as possible… but this one is certain. I didn’t recall a certain vision or thought; it just felt like I had to convey this to you.”
However, Anne-Sophie seemed uncertain if it was such an important matter, and she looked a bit suspicious.
The prophecy she heard was just one sentence.
“Beware of loss. That’s all.”
“Loss?”
“Yes. Do you have any idea?”
“If there’s nothing particularly important to lose… What is it?”
“If you don’t have anything important, then it’s fortunate…”
Even Odette, hearing Anne-Sophie’s words, seemed puzzled, propping her chin with her fist.
“Since the wedding is approaching, could it be something like losing the wedding ring?”
In the dim night.
“I almost got caught.”
There was a shadow moving discreetly in the darkness.
The shadow’s destination was a large banquet hall located in the vicinity.
This banquet hall, where lights were regularly turned on in each room, was created for one purpose only.
“A masquerade.”
It was a place where people could enjoy freely with fancy masks, wigs, and other items to completely conceal their identities.
In fact, though it may be called a “masquerade,” the atmosphere here is quite different from a typical one. Thanks to concealing their identities, a free-spirited atmosphere prevails, where social status and dignity are not considered. Participants can freely indulge in dancing, scandalous socializing, as well as gambling and drinking without restraint.
Because of this liberal atmosphere, if you were an adult noble, you probably secretly stepped in here at least once. However, it was never a place someone about to get married would visit.
And it was precisely for this reason that Inyeong and Ellie ended up coming here.
She had witnessed something not long ago. It was none other than Walter, the audacious man who is to marry her precious princess Odette, mentioning that he would attend this masquerade!
Actually, Ellie had been keeping an eye on Walter’s actions for a while.
“Although there wasn’t much evidence at Duke Ertman’s estate that day…” Still, there was an uneasy feeling that wouldn’t go away.
Lysaena’s words, who had been gossiping about Elodie and Walter secretly meeting, had always lingered in Ellie’s mind.
However, considering that the marriage process had progressed significantly, and it was difficult for Odette to avoid the marriage, Ellie decided to confirm it with her own eyes first. There was no reason to disturb the soon-to-be-married Odette, who knew nothing about it.
“If Your Highness insisted on assigning a guard, it could have been a big problem.” If that had happened, she might have been caught chasing after Walter’s actions.
Ellie swallowed her dry spit, recalling the conversation she overheard when she went to Duke Ertman’s estate.
“Your Excellency Dash, are you really going there? This time, let me handle it. It’s not good for you to keep going to such places, especially with the wedding approaching.”
“If you just go this time, there won’t be a need to go after the wedding. Please handle this quietly so that Odette doesn’t know.”
Going to a masquerade was shocking enough, but telling Odette to handle it quietly was even more surprising. The moment Ellie heard those words, her heart sank.
“Maybe he’s going to meet Elodie Montjoie.”
He might be deceiving our princess, committing adultery, and who knows what else!
Ellie decided to go and see what Walter was doing at the masquerade. If it turned out to be true adultery, she planned to gather evidence and bring it to Odette.
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.
