“Thank you, mother.”

“Well done.”

Ariadne smiled like a picture, and Cardinal de Mare, with a smile on his face, praised the two. Lucrezia, having no choice, forced a smile and nodded at Ariadne.

Then, a high and clear voice like a warbler flew in.

“Welcome back to the family. Ask me anything if you have any doubts.”

The most beautiful, small and pretty fairy of San Carlo.

It was Isabella.

She looked about ten years younger than the last time I saw her in her early thirties.

Unlike the past when she was as beautiful as a fully bloomed rose, little girl Isabella was like a fairy that suddenly jumped out of an old tale.

Unlike her mother who couldn’t hide her discomfort, Isabella smiled gently with an extremely affectionate expression.

“We are sisters. I will help you a lot.”

Unknowingly, Ariadne inhaled sharply. It was an overwhelming beauty.

‘I must not be fooled by that smiling face.’

Beautiful Isabella, who lures her prey with a sweet smile and stabs a knife in the back.

Ariadne’s hands were trembling involuntarily. She hid her shaking hands by placing each hand on the opposite side of her waist. And Ariadne gave a bow with the most innocent and friendly expression she could make.

“Thank you.”

She wanted to get along well with her perfect sister who always smiled sweetly, so she spent her life carefully serving and living humbly. She thought she was as warm and nice as her smile.

But even on the day she stabbed me in the back, she was smiling like that.

Isabella replied to Ariadne’s suppressed, wavering greeting with a polite smile.

She took a step forward, forcefully pulled out the two hands that Ariadne hid on her sides, and held them in her own.

“I have always wanted to do a lot with my peer sister. Let’s have a tea party, go sightseeing in the city… Do you like clothes or jewelry?”

“Oh, no, it’s all too much for me.”

When Isabella touched Ariadne’s body, Ariadne stiffened like a mouse in front of a cat. It was as if the memory of bowing from a young age was controlling her arms and legs.

Ariadne gritted her teeth, praying that it would not be visible from outside.

“Call me sister.”

Isabella recommended warmly, smiling leisurely with a natural master’s attitude.

“You sound like a sister!”

Then, a sharp voice came in from the corner.

“Why is she our sister? I can’t accept it.”

“Ara Bella!”

Lucrezia nervously silenced the voice’s owner.

It was a girl with amber hair who looked about ten years old.

The girl, unlike her older sister, had emerald eyes like Ariadne, taking after her father. However, her lowgrade hair and deep eyes did not harmonize well, and she did not have the looks of her older sister. Her cheeks were still chubby as her baby fat had not yet faded.

She was the youngest daughter of Cardinal de Mare, Arabella de Mare. In her past life, she had become famous at a young age due to the Black Death epidemic in 1123.

The young girl looked at Ariadne with a dissatisfied expression, pointing her fingers at her.

“Do we look alike? Our hair is jet black. You can’t even study, can’t even play the lute, can you speak Latin?”

At this point, Lucrezia, who had only been warning verbally, hurried over to see her husband’s mood and hugged Arabella from behind.

However, without waiting for her to comfort the youngest daughter, the angry voice of Cardinal de Mare echoed in the reception room.

“Stop!”

Cardinal de Mare swung his left hand and scolded.

“Lucrezia, how have you been educating your child? Do you want me to live in peace as I receive praise from the Holy See? Let’s just do the basics, the basics!”

“I apologize, your Eminence. Arabella is still young……”

“What’s so young about being ten years old! At the age of ten in places like the Bergamo estate, it’s time to do the work of a farmer!”

Arabella was glaring at Ariadne, filled with resentment because she was being scolded because of Ariadne.

Isabella looked as if this situation had nothing to do with her, with an expression of deep regret for the highpitched situation itself.

Pretending to be kind to the end when important people were present was the alpha and omega of Isabella.

“Get out!”

At his command, the rest of the family retreated towards the door of the reception room in unison.

They walked without showing their backs. It was a courtesy shown to the king by the subjects of the Etruscan Kingdom.

The followers of Cardinal de Mare were closer to his subjects than his family.

“Oh, assign a Latin teacher to Ariadne, like Isabella and Arabella. The rest of the home education is the same.”

Lucrezia accepted this somewhat reluctantly, without showing any dissatisfaction outwardly.

“I understand, your Eminence.”

After retreating from Cardinal de Mare’s reception room, Lucrezia gritted her teeth and said a word to Ariadne.

“Don’t cause trouble.”

Ariadne, on the surface, respectfully nodded her head, but inside, she imagined herself shrugging her shoulders.

‘What have I done? Your child caused the problem, not me. I haven’t even started yet.’

While the maid was standing at the door, Lucrezia went into the inner room first. In the corridor, there were only Arabella, Isabella, and Ariadne, who was just staring blankly.

Arabella gritted her teeth as if she couldn’t stand her annoyance.

“I can’t accept it!”

The tenyearold girl boasted and wagged her little finger.

“Raised as a farm maid! Born from a lowly maid!”

Ariadne was more amazed than angry. Where did this tenyearold learn these words? Obviously, it must have been her parents, or her snakelike sister, who whispered such words to the child.

However, Ariadne had pledged not to hold back in this life, even if it was the stubbornness of a young child. Besides, her natural disposition was not exactly gentle either.

She delivered a word, hiding a thorn behind a smile.

“According to father, it seems you’re going to the farm?”

“What?”

“He said a tenyearold is perfectly capable of being a farmer.”

“Eeeek!!”

Unable to contain her anger, Arabella shook her body and then charged at Ariadne. Behind her were the stairs.

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.
