“Still, if it doesn’t work out, I will think intensely,” Eric had said when faced with a situation of choosing between the empire and Alicia.
Somehow, it seemed that the serious conversation from that time had not yet come to an end.
“Do you want me to say, ‘Let’s run away together’? Even when there are wizards and monsters coming out?”
“Yeah.”
Alicia was pleased with his words, but Eric’s nonchalant response also puzzled her.
Whether that feeling showed on her face or not, Eric chuckled.
“Like it or dislike it, just choose one.”
“Ugh.”
Grabbing the bewildered Alicia, Eric spoke naturally.
“If I were to disappear in this situation, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“…Are you threatening the empire?”
“Unfortunately, the empire needs me right now.”
Smirking, Eric traced his lips from Alicia’s delicate ear down her jawline.
Whether that emotion showed on her face or not, Eric chuckled.
“Whether you like it or not, just choose one.”
“Ugh.”
Holding the flustered Alicia, Eric spoke naturally.
“If I were to disappear in this situation, wouldn’t it be difficult?”
“…Are you threatening the empire?”
“Unfortunately, the empire needs me right now.”
With a sly smile, Eric traced his lips from Alicia’s delicate ear down her jawline.

“Looking at their momentarily joined hands, Alicia lifted her head to gaze directly at him.
Now, the greenhouse garden was starting to come into view properly.
“The fragrance of the flowers is nice.”
“Yeah.”
“The sunlight is warm too.”
Glancing at the various colored flowers spread out before them for a moment, the eyes of the two suddenly met.
Quickly, soft smiles adorned their eyes and lips.
“Always smile like this. Don’t cry.”
“······.”
“If you cry, I really don’t know what to do. I feel like I’ve become a bad guy.”
“I didn’t cry because of Eric.”
“That’s right, um, if the guy who made you cry appears, I feel like I’ll kill him all.”
“Because of my father, I cried?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Due to Eric’s embarrassed explanation, Alicia eventually burst into laughter.
In difficult situations, she wanted to show a determined and cool appearance as his fiancée, but the conclusion fell far short of her standards.
“Okay, well. Since you laughed, it’s fine.”
Finally, Eric chuckled and looked up at the glass ceiling of the greenhouse.
“Yeah. It’s really beautiful.”

Unexpectedly, Eric was surprised to see Count Lancaster appearing at the Zero Knight Order meeting without notice.
“You came.”
“I need to assess the situation first.”
“Yes. You should. Please sit.”
There weren’t many agenda items, so the meeting itself wasn’t long.
The main points were a brief briefing on the ongoing difficulties in tracking the sorcerers and the absence of any suspicious movements among the sorcerers of the Replacement Ceremony.
“Is it true that Prince William is dead?”
“Yes. He was injured during the appearance of monsters at the Imperial Museum.”
“Why do you think he was a sorcerer?”
To Count Lancaster’s question, Eric responded.
“The injury inflicted by the sorcerer we fought at the Imperial Museum was in the same location as the injury Prince William suffered. It was confirmed by the doctor who treated the artist.”
“I see. Do you know about Prince William’s last words?”
“No. I don’t know anything about his connection with sorcerers. I’ve only suspected that he had doubts about his relationship with Empress Dowager before.”
“Empress Dowager?”
“Yes. I saw him having a close conversation with Empress Dowager. So, His Highness was keeping some distance.”
Count Lancaster nodded with a slightly wrinkled forehead.
It was unexpected and somewhat strange that the Empress Dowager was mentioned at this point.
“Is there anything strange about it?”
“No, it’s nothing. Is the meeting over with this?”
“Yes. If there’s nothing else.”
With Eric’s words, the attendees began to stand up one by one.
“Let’s talk.”
“Oh, yes. I had something I wanted to ask as well.”
“Good.”
With curious eyes, the subordinates of the Zero Knight Order looked at the two as they left the meeting room.
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.
