“If you don’t like the snow, you can leave the North. Balok has barely half a year of winter, and not even half of that has the sun shining!”
“We should communicate and talk to each other! What are you saying to outsiders!”
“Outsiders? Be careful with your words! I am strictly a knight of Balok.”
“You? A knight of Balok?”
Annoyed, the man who had been shaking his hand looked disdainful and sneered at the sight of the man clenching his fist, as if holding back anger.
“Let’s be straight even if our mouths are twisted. How can you be a knight of Balok? Weren’t you a knight of a French count or something?”
“I am a knight of Balok.”
“Ridiculous. Who would think of you as Balok? Do outsiders have a very firm delusion?”
The man’s sneer made the youth feel a sense of rising blood.
Is this shabby person really a knight of Balok?
It wasn’t like this when he first came to Balok.
But at some point, it started to get strange.
People openly slandered the Duchess, and knights from the French lineage were stamped as outsiders, and they kept trying to distance themselves from people.
Not everyone was like that.
A few were.
Especially this man in front of him.
It was always a problem that this man, who tried to drive away anyone who wasn’t born in the territory of Balok, unless they were from the Balok territory.
“Then can you say that in front of the Duchess?”
“No, why are you getting so upset? Because I’m in the same position as the Duchess… Uggh!”
Thunk.
With a clear sound, the man’s arm bent backward.
“In my territory, there’s a guy saying such absurd things.”
“Gguuuuh!”
Thunk.
The angle of the man’s arm twisted more and more oddly.
The man couldn’t scream properly and dribbled saliva while shaking.
“In front of the Duchess.”
The young knight, who had been struggling with the man, belatedly recognized Gillian and clenched his fist, striking his chest.
“It seems like it’s not the first time. Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I thought it was just a minor complaint.”
“Why would you judge that? As His Majesty said, the ‘princess’ is inherently noble. She is now also another master of this Balok territory. Are you just letting those who insult your master go?”
“If I had said it, would you have believed me?”
Jillian’s lips stretched long at the audacious question.
“You are my knight, aren’t you?”
“Am I really a knight of Balok?”
“Did you think my words that day were just a joke?”
Words can be terrifying, and if they are subtle, the repercussions become even more enormous.
The status of being an ‘outsider’ and a life of ‘rejection’ were probably more than enough to shake even the ‘trust’ in the owner.
Jillian looked closely at the young knight as he spoke.
His green eyes, clear as they blinked slowly, seemed to reveal thoughts.
“If you knew well what kind of person Samz Franz is, you should have come to me when you heard such remarks.”
If, even though he considered the knights horrible and gave up on the revival, he had known the feelings of the owner sent to Balok Duke, considering only the disposal of the knights.
“Even if you didn’t trust me, you should have believed in Samz Franz’s insight and come to me.”
The words were much heavier than asking to trust him.
“I apologize.”
The young knight lowered his head.
“Creta, find all the groups that associate with Isya.”
“Understood, Your Grace. Should I kill them if I catch them?”
With a dignified appearance and a refined tone, no one had even thought of such words.
Even the man who couldn’t move because he was grabbed by Jillian and later realized the meaning of the words began to scream.
“Aaargh!”
“Don’t kill.”
“Then…”
“Well, since we have time until the wave, it might be interesting to see how desperate the owner in the South was. Bring them all. I’m curious how many were planted.”
The owner in the South?
The young knight blinked and muttered softly.
“Cartan?”
Jillian smiled faintly at the young knight’s words.
“Aren’t those Isyas not originally from Balok?”
“I don’t know. Duke Balok himself is not originally from this region either. He came in to monitor the Ice Wall.”
Towards the surprised knight, Jillian added as if nailing it.
“No one says they are Balok natives. Unless they are ignorant outsiders.”
At the end of his words, his cold gaze, like a knife, pointed toward the ‘outsider’ in his grasp.
“Your owner took my words too lightly. I clearly said there is no second chance.”
Although it seemed like a mutter, Jillian’s ominous intonation was conveyed clearly to everyone through the wind.
“You didn’t seem so lacking… Are you curious about what a merciless disposal is?”
It was around the time when the chilly wind, which made the whole body shudder, had settled.
Ah.
Jillian, who took a short breath, asked the man in his grasp.
“You probably know that the Emperor presided over this marriage. It’s strange that the flawless king of the South would covet the Duchess. Does he have some other intention?”
Like imperial provocation.
In the cold intonation, the surroundings fell silent.
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.
