Under Winter’s intimidation, the knight shrank. As he hesitated, the wailing of a demon echoed from behind.
Startled, Winter turned his head to find the source of the sound. In the distance, a giant figure large enough to catch the eye penetrated the field of vision.
“What is this…”
“Th-the demon has rushed in!”
Soon, the knight conveyed the news.
“It seems that there is a group struggling to deal with the demon without Sir Freihed’s help, so I humbly came to report this late at night!”
“How big is it?”
“Oh, yes. It’s even larger than the creature you defeated last time, Crapter.”
“Got it. Hurry and get ready to go.”
Returning to the mansion, Winter quickly grabbed his sword. Before going outside, he explained the situation to Cloe and warned her.
“Miss Cloe, a demon has appeared in the central square. I’ll quickly defeat it and come back. Until I return, do not go outside under any circumstances, and do not let anyone else enter this place.”
“Got it. Be careful and come back safely.”
With Cloe’s resolute assurance, Winter was finally relieved and left the mansion.
As he got closer to the central square, he could feel the power of the demon firsthand.
‘Why on earth would a high-level demon come all the way to the mansion?’
While ordinary demons lacked intelligence, those who reached a certain level of power seemed to imitate human behavior. Usually, they stayed quietly in their habitats since appearing in places with many people only increased the danger.
“Kraang!”
According to the knight who came to get him, the demon had been causing a commotion for about an hour. Although such unproductive activities should have tired it out, the demon was still rampaging, breaking down mansions.
As Winter’s body leaped upward, extending upwards, he agilely sensed something strange as he jumped onto the demon’s body.
‘…Fragrance?’
It was similar to the faint scent Kun had mentioned before. It was a tool used when dealing with demons, adding drugs to strong blood to shake the demon’s mind.
Although it was occasionally used to find the demon’s habitat, it had been a long time since it was discontinued due to the sudden rampage of the demon.
‘Who could it be?’
Lost in surprised thoughts, Winter’s abdomen was struck by the demon’s tail. Even using such strength, it was a tremendous force that even he couldn’t control.
He flew far and landed on the roof of a collapsed mansion.
“Ugh…”
Whether he got caught on a piece of broken wood or torn by the falling debris, immense pain racked him. Using his sword as a support, he stood up and let out a faint groan.
‘What on earth is happening?’
Beyond his blurred vision, there was a group standing below the collapsed mansion. Some were worrying about Winter in fear, while others were holding their swords to protect those who couldn’t return to the mansion, waiting outside.
“Oh, where is Duke Argent? He surely said he would defeat the demon together with Sir Freihed…”
The voice, which should have been blurry from a distance, was surprisingly clear. The penetrating voice intensified Winter’s suspicions.
“Duke Argent?”
“Yes, yes?”
“Explain exactly what that means!”
He shouted with his side, where blood was gushing like a fountain, blocked by his hand.
Unable to easily grasp the situation, the man who was dumbfounded blinked his eyes repeatedly.
Reacting to the loud noise, the demon raised its arm this time.
As it emitted a wicked groan and swung its massive hand down, Winter, seizing the moment, leaped onto its back. Climbing up its slippery skin, he planted his sword as he balanced the gradually tilting body.
“Hurry!”
Still not receiving a response, Winter expressed his frustration. In response to his impatient urging with a nervous voice, the other party finally revealed the truth.
“Ah, Duke Argent noticed the signs of the demon and requested support from us. He insisted that Sir Freihed also needed help, so one of us went to bring the knight as a representative. However, Duke Argent himself is not visible…”
As Winter listened to the explanation, his head chilled.
It couldn’t be just because of the demon that his sword was stuck straight. There must be something else.
‘I already knew the Duke’s identity. So, he came to ask why the Duke, who had severed ties with Lady Cloe, came here.’
‘I came to ask her something. As someone who has nothing to do, I have no reason to meet the Duke who severed ties with Lady Cloe!’
A few days ago, Calis, who had visited Cloe, came to mind.
When he revealed his appearance at the Imperial Army mansion, suspicion would be raised, and the man who couldn’t possibly be unaware of that fact behaved boldly.
Today, someone used the drug to lure the demon here, and Calis appeared at the right time, detecting the signs of the demon.
Summoning Winter under the pretext of demon extermination, separating him from Cloe, the true instigator disappeared without a trace.
‘Miss Cloe, a demon has appeared in the central square. I’ll quickly defeat it and come back. Until I return, do not go outside under any circumstances, and do not let anyone else enter this place.’
At that moment, an absurd scenario crossed Winter’s mind.
Calis Argent intentionally lured Winter here and then went to find Cloe, leaving her alone—a terrifying imagination.
“Damn it!”
Simultaneously, a foreboding feeling came over him.
His intuition wasn’t wrong—an extremely strange premonition.
Winter drew his sword deeply into the demon’s skin, and blood sprayed everywhere, even on Winter’s face.
Thump, thump, his heart pounded.
Was it because he was facing a strong demon? Or was it because his body was startled by the sudden movement?
If not that, then…
“Go to His Majesty right now!”
Winter shouted towards the back.
“Yes?”
“Rush to Emperor Freihed and inform him. Lady Cloe might be in danger right now! Hurry!”
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.
