Thinking of the Empress’s words, the surroundings turned dark. It wasn’t easy even for the Empress, Olivia’s mother, to take away a mining document from Olivia. She couldn’t properly recall what was said afterward.
It felt like the whole world was pressing down on her.
The chandelier’s light, which always illuminated her, was dazzling today. The lights reflected, clouding the princess’s vision.
Distracted by the incessant dance music and the buzzing sounds around her, nobles continued to approach the princess as she breathed heavily.
The princess unconsciously laughed. Hahaha.
Suddenly, the surrounding voices stopped.
What’s wrong again? Did something go awry?
In a moment, she felt keenly aware of cold sweat flowing beneath the tightly laced corset.
All the noise, the splendid lights, the pounding drumbeats, and the resonant tones of brass instruments made the princess’s heartbeat uneasy.
It was stifling. No, it was unjust.
Why did the situation become so distorted? The princess clasped her hands together and tapped her knuckles on her palm.
Even though her father and the Empress were not present, now was the last chance.
Whether it was a fake necklace from Rical or her fertile land, or even her father’s affection, she had to wager anything.
If she didn’t do that, she might truly be cast out of the Emperor’s favor. Amidst the spreading fear, the buzzing sounds roared again like bees.
At the moment when her taut nerves couldn’t bear it any longer, the desperate princess shouted.
“…Quiet, please!”
All sounds abruptly ceased.
The princess’s cry echoed slowly above the high-ceilinged banquet hall. Quietly. Please, quietly!
Only then did the princess suddenly come to her senses. The eyes of the nobles who had been anxiously watching her gradually turned a bit cold. The princess hastily grabbed the hand of Lady Rivorne, who was beside her.
“I’m sorry, Bianca. I’m distracted because of the banquet.”
“No, Your Highness. It seems my advice for rest was too loud.”
Along with the blunt tone, Lady Rivorne subtly withdrew her hand. Lady Rivorne, who was a playmate, sometimes acted like this.
But the princess knew well how to calm her. She could easily bring her back.
“Bianca, no. I was too much just now. Your sincerity means a lot to me.”
Like this. Lady Rivorne’s tightened face loosened a bit. The princess smiled apologetically to everyone and kindly suggested.
“Shall we go up for a moment?”
“…If you insist.”
When Lady Rivorne, who had hesitated, came over, other nobles also expressed agreement. The princess smiled graciously and led the ladies.
That was the moment.
“Miss Olivia, please enter!”
The princess abruptly let go of the ladies’ hands. Following the shouting of the courtiers from afar, entering the hall was undoubtedly Olivia. Although the bewildered ladies looked at the princess, she couldn’t afford to pay attention to them.
“I’ll be excusing myself for a moment.”
“Your, Your Highness!”
Though she heard the voice calling her from behind, she couldn’t stop walking.
Nobles’ favor could be regained. But not the mining rights.
Without the mining rights, she couldn’t avoid the Emperor’s wrath. So, it was only natural for her to run towards Olivia at this moment.
“Unhappiness in my life? No, there’s none.”
In the midst of catching her breath, the princess murmured.
She could still prevent this misfortune. Watching Olivia descend the stairs from a distance, the princess smiled with exhilaration.
“Just a short respite from the long banquet! Let’s talk for a moment, Lady.”
Olivia silently stared at the panting princess.
The urging of the banquet host and the gaze of the nobles were not the only things concentrated on her. The probing gazes trying to figure out what was happening were sharp.
After meeting Edwin’s smiling gaze, Olivia silently straightened her posture.
Under the sparkling chandelier light, the splendid, colorful dress radiated light. From the layered jade necklace and diamond necklace to the platinum earrings swaying from her earlobes and the elegant gem decoration on her neatly tied hair.
The contrast between the disheveled princess and the dignified appearance left a lasting impression on everyone.
Meanwhile, the princess shouted again with determination.
“Lady! Can’t you hear me?”
“…As I mentioned before, Your Highness, I am no longer a lady.”
Huh? The eyes of the nobles who hadn’t attended the tea party widened. Startled nobles, including the princess, hadn’t seen the distorted faces of Marlene Duke and Marquess Duke.
But Edwin, who checked everyone, recalled Olivia’s words from before she entered the banquet hall.
“…Actually, I came here by mistake.”
“What?”
“I thought everything was settled at the tea party, but upon careful thought, it seemed like there was some corner left untied.”
“…….”
“So, I came. Fully armed.”
Shaking hands with the gloved hand Edwin had given her, Olivia laughed playfully. Inappropriate as it was, Olivia, fittingly dressed, entered with an air of determination, whispering.
“So, will you watch me today? I want to finish everything definitively today.”
“I’ll be back soon. Edwin.”
Olivia’s voice overlapped again. Smirking at the voice that exuded strength, Edwin grinned.
“Anytime, Olivia. While you’re away…”
Edwin shrugged his shoulders, pointing towards himself, Winchester, and Howard.
“Please, do not forget that your esteemed knights are behind you.”
Clang [dash]. Along with the light dripping sound, Edwin kissed Olivia’s backhand, which he held for escort.
“Anything. Do as you wish. I’ll be here not just watching but cheering. You know what I mean, right?”
The red eyes that did not avert their gaze spoke with pure trust.
It was a perfect response.
Olivia smiled brightly and took a step towards the balcony first.
“Hand over the mine to me, Lady. No, Your Highness.”
Inside the quiet balcony.
The princess ordered, as if spitting out, her cold tone hiding her anxiety. Olivia, who blinked for a moment, looked silently at the princess.
It was when a few seconds of silence began to press on the princess.
Olivia burst into laughter with a chuckle.
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.
