Bought the same as with Esella, but never gave it to Olivia, gifts that had been piling up. Couldn’t send or throw them away.
Thinking she was my sister, but that stupid thing that was not.
Jade closed her eyes. It became dim not knowing why she was so angry.
Beyond the black view, Olivia appeared.
Ten years old. After learning about my mother’s death, me who opposed Olivia, and eightyearold Olivia who had been hanging around me.
Because of the expectation in those green eyes, Jade’s breath was even more choked. She thought it was a wish that could never be fulfilled.
Why I piled up those gifts. If I had thought a little more, it would have been an easy path. Jade at this time could not think that little more.
[This is the time separator]1st floor of Madeleine’s mansion.
Olivia was watching the sunrise. The green juice made for her father looked like it was going to be thrown away again.
Waited since dawn. Thought that someone, either Father or Conrad, would come and ask me. Whether it’s the Duke’s oath or the relationship with Leopold or anything.
But the morning was actually quiet.
“Miss, the meal is ready. Please leave this to me and have your meal.”
Sally took the juice and said. Jade said she left early in the morning. In the empty dining room, only my seat was set with food.
Eating alone tasted bad.
When was Esella coming from the house of Count Haelquin?
Olivia kept trying to think about something else as a distraction. It was the only escape she could do now.
Sally, who had been standing behind, came forward and carefully poured juice into the empty cup, saying,
“Uh, Miss, can I ask you just one thing?”
“What is it?”
“Miss, did you really receive an oath about Ladyship from His Highness the Duke yesterday?”
“How do you know that?”
Sally grinned with a flushed face.
“It was true! I knew it would be! Miss, you looked so beautiful yesterday! Even the newspapers were all about how beautiful you were,”
“Newspapers?”
“Yes! The newspapers were filled with articles about you!”
A chill ran down her fingertips. Newspapers? Who would dare spread what happened at the palace?
Sally asked with an excited face.
“Shall I get them?”
Olivia nodded, and Sally hurriedly left the restaurant.
Olivia closed her eyes for a moment.
The palace, especially at banquets, was all treated as ‘unofficial.’
The gossip was usually about who was Leopold’s partner at the banquet.
There were two stories about me being the feature of the article.
Either the palace wrote the article about me,
“……Or someone deliberately leaked the article.”
Olivia murmured lowly as she opened her eyes.
“What?”
Sally brought a few influential newspapers to Olivia. The big headlines were all about Olivia, my story.
Duke Vicander, the hero, vows to Princess Madeleine?
Breaking News) War hero, finally fulfills the vow to the Lady?
Olivia quickly skimmed through the newspapers.
That the Duke had vowed to me, that was all there was.
For the time being, it seemed she would be living a secluded life that was not even on her schedule.
Olivia calmly thought about what I should do. Stay home except for when entering the palace, I’ll have to call someone about the finances of the Crown Princess’s palace. Leopold’s thoughts popped up as she organized her thoughts.
Had Leopold seen this article? What would he be thinking?
……He would care, surely. Olivia chuckled as she rummaged through the newspapers.
“So many letters have come to you since morning. I left everything else in the room and just brought this one. Here.”
Sally handed over a letter with an expectant face. Olivia, guessing whether it was from Eshella or Leopold, blinked as she took the letter.
The seal stamped on the elegant envelope was clear.
“A person came directly from the Duke’s house!”
Vicander had.
With an ornate rose and sharp thorns, the pattern that Olivia had only seen in noble emblems, she carefully opened the letter.
The moment she read the elegant handwriting, Olivia’s eyes widened.
I did not take the sword. I’ll prepare a more precious gift, so give me a chance. I’ll wait for you whenever. Edwin R. Vicander
Is this really all? Reading the letter again and again, Olivia burst into laughter at some point.
What a person to be! Surely the Duke was known to be dangerous and cruel. But the letter spoke a totally different story from the noisy articles.
Such a strange person.
Olivia muttered to herself. The gloom that had enveloped me since early dawn seemed to wash away, and suddenly her appetite returned.
Somehow, everything seemed fine, and as Olivia picked up her fork, she called Sally softly.
“Sally.”
“Yes?”
“Let’s go out for a while this afternoon.”
There were a lot of letters to send to Eshella. It would be fine to send at least one of them. If there was time, it might be nice to reply to the Duke.
The sunlight coming in through the window felt warm.
[This is the time separator]At the same time.
Eshella was leaving the Duke’s residence in Haelquin in a carriage.
Her destination was the Imperial Princess’s palace in the royal palace.
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.
