The fact was that Blake had greatly underestimated Odette’s lifelong skill of dodging trouble, honed through years of living in the palace as a weaker party.
[Dash] And I appreciate the offer, but something happened with Count Xavier yesterday. And since Count Xavier is quite close with my sister Lise Marsen, it might be difficult to see her for a while. The incident keeps coming to mind. Of course, I’m really grateful for your offer to help. I’ll rely solely on you! [Dash] …What? Pretending not to know until the very end. [Dash] I went through a lot yesterday and I’m very tired, so I’ll head in now. You should go in too.With that, Odette turned her back.
Fortunately, the distance to the 4th princess’s palace wasn’t very far, so Blake didn’t cause a scene and let Odette walk away at a brisk pace.
‘It’s a relief we met nearby.’
Otherwise, it could’ve been a big problem.
If it were any other situation, it would have been difficult to safely leave after refusing Blake’s request.
‘I guess it won’t work.’
Having experienced this, Odette’s thoughts changed a bit.
“Elly, could you prepare some paper while I change my clothes?”
“For a letter? Who are you sending it to?”
“I’m going to write a reply because the letter I sent to Cedric came back.”
Given Blake’s recent actions, the situation has changed.
‘Blake seemed convinced that I was Cedric’s spy.’
It was likely that he would try to obstruct her in some way. Furthermore, that obstruction could interfere with Cedric’s plans.
So it would be best to share this information with Cedric in advance.
‘Duke Ertman decided to meet after a few days of hiatus due to public opinion.’
So, in this gap, sharing first with Cedric seemed like the correct decision.
Thinking this, Odette wrote the letter, tied it to the leg of a bird created with her magic, and let it fly.
If Walter had known about this, he would have ground his teeth and objected, but…
Sadly, Walter was not here.
Thud.
The bird cut through the dark night sky and flew away loyally.
Completely unaware of the ripple effects that this would cause.
Meanwhile, Blake returned to the Queen’s Palace without any notable accomplishments.
The Queen Katarina was away due to affairs at her maternal home, the Duke of Rodel, leaving only Lise Marsen in the Queen’s Palace.
And as Blake entered the Queen’s Palace, a loud noise greeted him.
Crash!
A glass vase was shattered into pieces with a loud noise.
“How dare you answer me back? You think I’m a joke!”
“Ah, no, Your Highness. I apologize. I will do better next time.”
“That’s enough, clean it up. If a single shard remains, you’ll lose your wrist!”
The maid, who appeared to have been slapped, began picking up the vase’s shards with a bow.
Seeing this, Blake clicked his tongue.
“Enough, shut up, Lise Marsen. You were nagging when I left, and now… how long will you keep this up?”
“I’m only calming down now!”
Lise Marsen shouted in response to Blake’s chiding.
Her appearance was in disarray, more than usual, unable to control her temper.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the maid cleaning the vase.
It was because she sensed that public opinion had shifted after Count Xavier’s party.
The reason was simple.
“Duke Ertman first brought in Odette, and now he’s even pulled in some rural young lady I’ve never heard of! They’re making a mockery of me!”
The emergence of Elodie had caused more of a stir than anticipated.
Of course, Lise Marsen had humiliated Elodie at the tea party, but people mostly seemed to enjoy the confrontation between the two rather than mock Elodie.
Duke Ertman had a woman he was particularly favoring.
It was clear how this would circulate in society.
‘At least lovers, and at best a future wife.’
Since Walter had openly revealed his desire to marry a princess, no one talked about him possibly marrying Elodie.
Rather, there was more talk questioning whether Elodie was just boasting.
The problem was that Odette was involved in this.
[Dash]At Xavier’s party, Duke Ertman only seemed to be with the 4th Princess. [Dash]I saw them dancing, and the atmosphere was so affectionate…… [Dash]Someone saw Duke Ertman carrying the 4th Princess. I think there might be wedding talks soon.Amidst the buzz about Elodie, the public opinion completely shifted because Odette timely got involved.
If Walter was going to marry anyone, it would certainly be the 4th Princess 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.
