It was awkward.

It was so awkward that I couldn’t help it.

I couldn’t bring myself to turn my head and kept staring blankly into the air.

Apparently, Leoprick had asked Arnold to call a servant to prepare a bath on his way out.

So he was undressing to take a bath…

The timing was really uncanny.

Arnold, who went to fetch the servant, forgot to tell me that Leoprick was preparing for a bath, and I met Leoprick before the servant did.

Hence, the disaster that was not quite a disaster.

Fortunately, not long after I entered, Gale, Leoprick’s servant, came in with the bath water, and I decided to wait for him in the awkward atmosphere.

Soon after, he finished his bath and came out.

What would have happened if Gale hadn’t shown up in that situation?

I tried to think of how I would have broken the awkwardness that I didn’t want to imagine and cautiously opened my mouth.

“Um… I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

But Leoprick looked even more embarrassed by my apology.

“You don’t have to apologize, Amelia.”

“But it really wasn’t my intention…”

It’s true that I don’t have to apologize.

But it’s also true that I made him feel awkward.

It was completely unintentional, but it happened because I impulsively came looking for him.

So, no matter what, I think I should apologize…

No, actually, I’m not sure what’s right either.

Even though I tried to sort out my confused mind while waiting for him, everything still seems to be a mess.

That’s when I was mumbling to myself.

“Is that so? That’s rather disappointing in its own way.”

But he really didn’t seem to mind.

No, he even expressed a hint of regret.

His voice was filled with inexplicable disappointment as he spoke to me.

His slightly damp hair from just finishing his bath, his not fully dressed attire, and the moist atmosphere.

When he looked at me intently with a face full of regret, I felt like I was doing something wrong in a slightly different sense.

“If you’re disappointed, what do you mean…?”

In the midst of this, he’s disappointed.

Faced with his almost dejected appearance, I had to think for a moment about what to say.

Leoprick tilted his head to one side and smiled as he watched me.

“I thought you would have intended it to some extent by this point.”

“Intend… me? What?”

No, what do you mean by ‘by this point’?

Are you saying you thought I would have completely fallen for you by this point?

And what exactly am I supposed to intend?

My voice unintentionally gained strength from the confusion.

There’s nothing good about intending to do it.

There’s no gain other than making people feel awkward.

I tried to erase the vivid colors and lines that were still flickering before my eyes and spoke slowly and clearly.

“It was really a mistake, Your Majesty. There was no intention at all.”

“I know, Amelia. I know you were startled too.”

But even as I asserted my innocence, Leoprick remained nonchalant.

No, he was even smiling with a slightly languid air.

“But the fact remains that you came looking for me first. Regardless of the reason.”

He smiled, his eyes crinkling.

It was a willing smile, as if he had been waiting for this very moment.

“I thought you might have forgotten about me because you were busy…”

His voice, almost like a whisper, seemed to take me back to that moment earlier.

The moment I opened the door and the sunlight pouring through the window illuminated the perfect subject.

The moment that was utterly disconcerting, yet at the same time, I couldn’t take my eyes off.

“What time do you expect to finish work tonight? It would be nice to sleep together.”

We can also share what happened today.

Leoprick concluded his words as if he were reciting.

“Oh, have you had breakfast? If not, shall we eat together?”

Then, without giving me time to answer, he changed the subject and smiled.

Somehow, it seemed like a slightly excited smile.

“Refrain from attending social events for the time being, Father! What do you mean by that?”

Adela screamed impulsively.

She was already under a lot of stress due to the cancellation of her appointment as the empress.

And now, on top of that, she was told to refrain from attending social events.

Doesn’t she have to attend social events to bring down that damned crown princess!

Adela leaned forward toward her father, who avoided eye contact with a heavy expression.

“There’s a reason, right? Don’t tell me it’s that damned Count Vermerian again?”

At her words, spoken through gritted teeth, the countess sitting next to her also chimed in, glancing around.

“Your father wouldn’t do that. There must be a reason. Otherwise, he wouldn’t stop a young lady in her prime from attending social events…”

“You should also refrain from leaving the residence for the time being, Countess.”

But perhaps that had the opposite effect, as the count’s firm voice fell.

The countess’s face lost its color at the sound.

“What do you mean, Count? I can’t leave the residence? Just this week alone, there are gatherings I have to attend…”

“Write down where you were supposed to go, and I will make up a suitable excuse for your absence. Don’t worry and return to your room.”

“Father!”

This can’t be, this can’t be happening.

Attending social events was her only chance to even dream of what was not allowed to her.

The opportunity to at least gaze at Leoprick Baldini Reinhart from a distance, who was not by her side.

In addition, she had to seize the opportunity to take revenge on Amelia Vermerian, who had suddenly changed her attitude.

Adela looked at her father with a dumbfounded expression.

“Is this Count Vermerian’s order? You’re also a count just like him, so why do you have to listen to him?”

Adela shouted, clenching her fists with all her might.

Her father’s sharp gaze turned to her, but this was a reasonable suspicion.

A few days ago, Count Vermerian, who had come to talk about appointing her as the empress, visited her father again today.

And after he left, her father summoned her and her mother to his office.

To tell them to refrain from attending social events.

“Not only did he change his mind after coming to promise to appoint me as the empress, but now he’s trying to change my residence as he pleases! What’s the reason?”

What the hell is Count Vermerian, that bastard?

The father of the crown princess, the prime minister of the empire.

That’s all he is, isn’t it?

He wasn’t her father’s direct superior, and he was even less of a figure who could have a major impact on her father, who was slowly trying to step away from state affairs.

And it’s not like the crown princess had the power to directly influence Gloitte to that extent.

All Vermerian had was the Jenit Trading Company, one of the largest in the empire.

That was it.

Adela couldn’t understand why her father was going to such lengths to fulfill their demands.

Especially since it was blocking her purpose.

So she provoked her father even more, her veins bulging in her neck.

“This isn’t right, Father. If you said you’d make me the empress, you should take responsibility and make me the empress, or at least find me a decent marriage prospect, shouldn’t you?”

“Y-yes! Even though Adela is well-educated and has better qualities as a noblewoman than other young ladies, it’s not right to just cast her aside like this.”

When she screamed in anger, the countess next to her also chimed in.

Although she seemed to be taking her side, her father looked back and forth between the two, but Adela didn’t even glance in that direction.

It’s all because it would be good for that woman’s son if she becomes the empress.

Because she’s someone who would do anything as long as their interests align.

As she thought that and was about to open her mouth again to her father…

“So, did you go to Her Highness the Crown Princess’s trading company and cause a disturbance? Because you were angry that you couldn’t become the empress?”

“How do you…”

Her father, who seemed to be listening quietly, spoke first, and Adela had to close her mouth.

Then, could it be that Count Vermerian came today to ask about what happened at the trading company?

Glancing sideways, the countess was also at a loss for words, her face drained of color.

She didn’t expect the crown princess to tattle on her to her father.

“It wasn’t me, Father. And they were rude to me first!”

“T-that’s right. Why would I do that for no reason? The employees of that trading company were so disrespectful and looked down on people…”

When Adela opened her mouth, the countess hurriedly made excuses.

Her claim was that they were at fault first and they started the incident first.

She wanted to cover the mouth of her stepmother, who was babbling on, but Adela focused on watching her father, who had his mouth shut with a heavy expression.

Since she didn’t know if Count Vermerian had grasped the whole situation and told her father, all she could do for now was quietly observe his reaction.

“Then why did you hand over the Beber Trading Company to Viscount Alois?”

“What? Father, what do you mean…”

“You’re not going to tell me that a smart girl like you doesn’t know how dangerous Viscount Alois is, are you?”

Count Gloitte’s voice sank heavily.

They were talking about what happened at the Jenit Trading Company, and then suddenly the Beber Trading Company.

Not only Adela but also the countess had no choice but to remain silent, unable to grasp the intent of this conversation.

And then, the count’s voice, like a blade of frost, struck their ears.

“It’s a pity that you’re only thinking about what you’ve lost without considering what you’ve done.”

“…!”

“I at least expected that you wouldn’t be foolish enough to clumsily try to hide your mistakes.”

Count Gloitte looked at his daughter and wife with cold eyes.

The two of them were frozen in place, not knowing what to say.

Could they really have thought that he would know nothing and spouted off those absurd excuses?

“You are prohibited from going out for the time being.”

“But…”

“The Empress’s birthday celebration is over anyway, so there won’t be any major banquets where you absolutely have to show your face for a while. Until then, stay in your room and think carefully about what you did wrong.”

“Father!”

Adela called out to him like a scream, but he turned his head, ignoring his daughter’s cry.

Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away

This is also on my reread list!

This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.

Definitely worth a read, y’all!

The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.

But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.

Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.

I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.

The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.

As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

Su Heng assists a divine lord in his cultivation, aiming to make him experience all the sufferings of love, so that he can attain the Great Dao.
