As the music came to an end, the entrance of the emperor and other royal family members was announced. Everyone in the audience stood up.
With the emperor’s wave and his seating at the highest seat, the audience also sat down.
Alicia glanced briefly at the royal box.
‘Where’s Prince Harry?’
Last time, he had definitely said that he would also be involved in the joint training, but Prince William was the only one visible.
Then the military band’s music echoed grandly, and at the same time, applause and cheers erupted.
Turning her gaze back to the square, she saw the commander of Edinburgh and Eric, each leading their knight squads and stepping into the square.
The sight of cavalry and infantry marching together was indeed a spectacle.
The First Knights, called the Red Wolf squad, and the Second Knights, known as the Black Lion squad, were mixed together, presenting a powerful color contrast.
“Wow, sister. Look at that! It’s really amazing.”
“……”
“Oh, sister, there’s our brother!”
Edward had been watching even before he spoke.
She was so focused on watching that she couldn’t respond to Edward.
Eric, who was wearing all black uniforms, riding a large black horse, and leading the Knights, was so different from others that she had to concentrate.
It was completely different from his usual playful and teasing, and sometimes cunning attitude.
‘He’s working so hard.’
Thinking of Eric, who was grumbling about not understanding why he was doing this, Alicia smiled quietly.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“I’ll go look around for a bit. Edward, can you stay here alone?”
“I’m not a kid, you know. Have a good time, sister. I’ll stay here.”
Edward thought that without having to wander outside, he could eat plenty of delicious things in the cool shade.
So when Edward declined, the duchess said with a laugh,
“We’ll keep an eye on Edward.”
“Then I’ll leave him in your care for a bit.”
Alicia rose from her seat and stepped outside.
The sun was still glaring, so she unknowingly created shade with her hand and looked up at the sky.
“Alicia?”
At the sound of her name, Alicia turned around and a lady with a melancholy expression and short brown hair approached with a bright smile.
“?”
“It’s me. Don’t you remember? We attended Huanglip School together. I’m Jena Heily.”
“Jena? Jena. It’s been a long time.”
To the delighted Alicia, Jena gave a sly smile.
Her familiar melancholy smile made Alicia even more glad to see Jena.
“That’s right. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? But I’ve heard quite a bit about you lately.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Alicia smiled awkwardly.
“How have you been, Jena?”
“Well, I quit my nun training and now I’m helping my father with his work.”
Jena shrugged her shoulders and chuckled.
“Thanks to me, my father’s blood pressure has been steadily rising.”
“Oh, I see.”
She hadn’t seen Jena for a while since graduation from Huanglip School, so she didn’t know what she was like now, but back then, Jena was a calm child who spoke little.
For that reason, Jena’s current speech felt strange to Alicia, and she laughed awkwardly.
“My life is currently at its most boring peak, so forget about it. Let’s talk about you.”
“Huh?”
“Your engagement story. I want to hear it from the person who turned the empire upside down.”
“There’s nothing particularly special about it.”
“Ah, are you too embarrassed to talk about it? I understand if that’s the case. We can talk about it separately later. Then…”
Jena lowered her voice and whispered.
“Does Earl Russell really feel like a fallen being from the demon world?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Huh. He looked like he could beat up anyone, whether they’re a demon or whatever.”
“I thought he looked good.”
“Of course you would.”
Jena chuckled, and Alicia, embarrassed, was just about to change the subject.
“Oh my, we meet again here.”
At the sound of the familiar but unwelcome voice, Alicia turned her head.
There stood Kate O’Brien, still beautiful and dazzling, smiling under her parasol.
Alicia responded to her greeting with a smile.
“It’s been a long time. Miss Kate O’Brien.”
“I see you’re still engaged?”
“That’s one way to put it.”
Alicia and Kate looked at each other, laughing.
Feeling that the atmosphere was unusual, Jenna intervened.
“Ah, my name is Jenna Hailey.”
“……Isn’t it rude to butt in like this?”
Kate looked Jenna up and down with an arrogant expression, seemingly displeased.
Then Jenna opened her mouth, laughing and sarcastically.
“Isn’t it the same thing when you interrupt? I was talking first.”
“What did you say?”
“It’s not easy to talk about her as she is the talk of the town these days. So please respect the order. You said it yourself, so you won’t have any complaints, right?”
“So you’re telling me to wait now?”
“Yes. Until I finish my story. Or you can leave.”
Jenna grinned at Kate’s bewildered look, as if she had heard wrong.
“Jenna. It’s okay. Miss O’Brien just came to check on me out of concern.”
“Check? What kind of check?”
“She was very concerned about my engagement. The same reason you asked.”
“What?”
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.
