On a chilly afternoon when a cold wind was blowing.
Today was Lena’s first day of magical education at the palace.
“I can only go this far.”
As the two arrived at the entrance of the Palace, Velige let go of Lena’s hand.
“Thank you for bringing me.”
Since access to the Palace is severely restricted, Velige could only go up to the entrance.
Even this was only possible because he was the Duke of Fermannes, but originally, he needed permission to enter.
“Relax your expression. If someone sees, they might think I’m being taken away.”
And the Duke’s face was dark all the way because he seemed uneasy about sending Lena alone to such a place.
Could it be that he worried Lena would receive unfair treatment in this place as the Duchess?
Lena, with a worried look, approached Velige, who held her hand.
“In fact, I didn’t tell the Duke, but I wanted to learn exactly how to handle magic. I was curious about how much power I have. I’m actually happy that it ended so well like this.”
Lena had been thinking that the reason for her recent decline in health might be related to magic.
‘I need to know exactly about my curse.’
On the other hand, Lena had also thought that meeting Velige might have lifted the curse.
Because she had already confirmed her love with the Duke in the past.
But.
Lena lightly touched her clean back of the hand without any wounds.
Last night, she deliberately caused a wound on her hand to check if her healing ability had disappeared.
And indeed, although it was a bit slower, her abnormal healing ability had not disappeared.
‘The curse hasn’t been lifted.’
Still, her appearance was changing.
It was clear that she had misunderstood the curse for a long time. A man from the spell that seemed to know about her curse a long time ago.
Lena had a strange conviction that the man was a magician.
‘If that’s the case, there might be a magician who knows about this curse.’
Taking the opportunity to learn magic at the palace, Lena planned to uncover the truth about the curse she was under.
As Lena was contemplating seriously, Velige ruffled her hair.
“Yeah, if you think so.”
Only then did a smile appear on the Duke’s face, as if he was slightly relieved.
“Duchess Fermannes?”
Lena nodded to the man who seemed to have come out to meet her.
“Nice to meet you. I’m McCullen, an assistant to Professor Leopold, who will be in charge of the Duchess’s lessons.”
“I’m also glad to meet you. I’m Lena Fermannes.”
“I came to accompany you instead of the professor. Please come with me.”
“Yes. Duke, I’ll see you at the mansion in a little while.”
Lena greeted the Duke lightly and entered the Crystal Palace with McCullen.
The man with short, blue hair wore thick glasses, but even with the glasses on, he couldn’t completely hide the shadows under his eyes.
‘He looks quite tired…’
Magicians were known to be engrossed in research all day, and staying up late was a daily routine.
At that moment, while Lena was wondering if she would become like that while receiving magical education, she turned around at the warm gaze directed towards her.
Then, she noticed that the young students who seemed to be magicians residing in the Crystal Palace were whispering as they looked at her.
Somehow, she couldn’t get used to this kind of whispering.
Unconsciously, she stiffened her whole body.
McCullen, who noticed Lena’s gradually slowing steps, opened his mouth as if he realized something.
“Don’t mind them too much. They are just fascinated by the Duchess. You are currently the most famous person here at the Crystal Palace.”
“…Me?”
“Yes, because there has never been a case where black color came out of the Crystal Sphere in history.”
‘Does that mean black color represents a vast amount of magical power?’
While it might not be present in the empire, Lena had thought that it might be a color that occasionally appeared elsewhere.
Judging by their reactions, even that seemed to be a rare occurrence. A slight anxiety bloomed in Lena’s heart.
“The professor who will teach the Duchess is currently the most skilled person here at the Crystal Palace. Surely, it will be beneficial for the Duchess.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Yes, so don’t worry.”
At that moment, McCullen, as if they had arrived at their destination, stood in front of a cherry wood door and knocked on it.
As permission to enter was given, Lena cautiously stepped inside. Then, a man greeted her with a face that seemed irritated.
‘He looks much younger than I thought…?’
The man looking down at her seemed much younger than expected, contrary to the image that comes with the title of a professor.
He even looked a few years younger than Velige.
“The professor who will teach the Duchess starting today is Professor Leopold.”
“Nice to meet you, I am—”
“You, what?”
The man with red hair looked at her with an annoyed expression, as if seeing something troublesome.
“Professor, this person will receive education starting today.”
“Ah, the one with the black color?”
As McCullen spoke, the man, as if remembering something, annoyingly brushed his hair.
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.
