Prince Harry stood behind her.
“Ah, Your Highness.”
“No need for formalities.”
Harry pulled out a book and handed it to Alicia.
“A book about magic, is there something you suspect?”
“Hm? No, I’m neither a priest nor a shaman. I was just curious because of the recent appearance of magical creatures.”
“Is that all?”
“Of course, not everyone will become interested in magic just because magical creatures have appeared, but my fiancé is a knight, so I thought it would be good to know a little.”
“I see.”
Harry momentarily closed his mouth.
Originally a quiet library, the atmosphere became almost oppressive as both remained silent.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Alicia was the first to speak.
“Thank you for the book. I’ll take my leave now.”
Alicia had walked a few steps past Harry when he finally spoke.
“Can Count Russel truly protect you?”
“What?”
“I hope so.”
Muttering, Harry walked past Alicia who had been standing there and left the library first.
Although there was no malice in the gaze Harry swept over her as he passed, neither was there any friendliness.
Alicia took a step back involuntarily, too flustered to determine what emotion his gaze held.
[Star Icon]In the carriage on the way back to Count Russel’s, Alicia leaned on the window frame, her chin resting on her arm, and stared outside.
Though the conversation was trivial, it bothered her.
It was as if she had forgotten something important.
Harry had been an awkward person to deal with both times they’d met.
“Huh? There are suddenly a lot of people in uniforms.”
Alicia, who had been looking outside the carriage, opened the carriage window and asked.
“Where are we?”
“We’re near the knight headquarters, miss.”
“The knight headquarters?”
“Yes, where Count Russel works.”
Alicia turned her head back to look outside.
She had never been there before and was curious, continuing to stare out when she spotted a familiar figure.
“Hm?”
Eric was walking along, talking with some woman.
[Star Icon]In the end, Alicia, who had followed Eric and the mysterious woman, hid behind a pillar on the first floor lobby of the knight headquarters and watched the two.
It was unlike her to stalk people, but curiosity killed the cat; she couldn’t just turn back without knowing.
‘No, it’s understandable to be curious. He barely talks to his own sisters, so I can’t help but wonder, right?’
Convincing herself, Alicia never took her eyes off the two.
Some passing knights gave her puzzled looks, but she had no time to pay them mind.
Then, the two stopped walking, and the woman faced Eric, talking and laughing.
Then she glanced toward the pillar where Alicia was hiding.
“!”
Feeling their eyes meet, Alicia hid her body behind the pillar and sank down.
Her heart was pounding.
“Did she see me? She shouldn’t have.”
Alicia sat down, her eyes tightly closed, not knowing what to do.
Only then did she realize that her voluminous dress wasn’t completely hidden by the pillar.
‘How stupid. I have no reason to hide.’
Alicia leaned her forehead against the cold pillar in regret and then quickly crawled to the hallway in front.
The woman who had been talking with Eric closed her mouth for a moment as she saw Alicia’s retreating figure.
“Why did you do that?”
“Ah, there.”
“?”
When the woman pointed, Eric turned his head and saw a bundle of cloth disappearing into a hallway.
[Star Icon]‘Did she notice? She couldn’t have, she was facing the other way, right?’
Trying to convince herself, Alicia continued crawling through the hallway.
If she entered the hallway, she would be out of their sight, but in her haste, she had not thought of simply standing up and walking.
“What are you doing?”
Startled by the familiar yet unwelcome voice, Alicia promptly sat up.
She then nonchalantly turned her head towards Eric.
“I dropped something and was looking for it.”
“What did you drop?”
“Well, it’s fine. I don’t need it.”
“You don’t need it, yet you’re crawling on the floor looking for it?”
Feeling embarrassed by Eric’s incredulous expression, Alicia replied as if unfazed.
“So? Is there a problem with me searching like this? Sometimes urgency calls for it.”
“Sure, urgency could. You might want to stand up now.”
Eric extended his hand, and Alicia took it to stand up gracefully.
She then avoided looking at Eric, embarrassed, and dusted off the hem of her dress.
“What did you drop? I can have someone search for it later.”
“It’s fine, I don’t need it. But what are you doing here?”
“I work here.”
“Ah, I noticed there were a lot of people in uniforms.”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Feeling embarrassed by Eric’s suppressed laughter, Alicia turned her head away.
“I should go now.”
“Alicia.”
“?”
“Since you’re here, why not take a moment to see where I work? Aren’t you curious?”
“I don’t want to be a rude fiancée who interrupts her busy fiancé.”
“What if I’m not particularly busy, and I invited you to show off my curious fiancée?”
“….That would be okay.”
“Thank you.”
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.
