There were too many things he wanted to ask, but he couldn’t gather the courage to ask them. He was afraid of the positive answers that might come back.
So, Khalif kept taking steps back involuntarily. He couldn’t hide his feelings at all.
“Eve needs time as well. Since it’s related to her, I hope you respect her thoughts.”
The look in Khalif’s eyes towards Felix was filled with fear. Because of that, Felix couldn’t widen his narrowed eyes.
It wasn’t very characteristic of Khalif. He knew why he was acting like this, but Felix, too, couldn’t suppress his heightened sensitivity.
“Did she ask you to? To stop me?”
“Is that the only way you can say it? You know very well that Eve is not that kind of person.”
“It’s not like that. I don’t understand why you’re coming forward like this to stop me. Clearly, Ibelia said that to me yesterday. She said she would think about it. So, give her some time.”
“Yeah. What she wants is time. So, don’t be so hasty.”
“I never said I would help her awaken from today. Not at all.”
The mental clash between the two men continued with fierce intensity. Khalif was the first to explode emotionally.
“Why does Eve have to awaken an ability that I don’t even know? Am I insufficient for you?”
“It’s not a matter of emotional thinking.”
“No one has ever asked for recognition of my skills and abilities, yet you’ve made yourself dry from talking.”
“I’m not saying I don’t recognize you!”
“Then what is it? Are you unable to believe in yourself? Afraid you’ll be frightened against an opponent you can’t possibly defeat with your own strength?”
At Khalif’s outburst filled with frustration, Felix’s face cooled down coldly. His lips, which had opened as if to counter, were closed in an instant, and his gaze toward Khalif was as sharp as a blade. Only then did Khalif realize that his words were too emotional.
“…”
“…”
The chilly silence instantly surrounded the two men. Felix couldn’t erase the intense gaze directed at Khalif. It was filled with indescribable emotions.
If it were a different time, Khalif would have criticized that gaze several times. However, this time, he maintained silence, and Felix, realizing Khalif’s feelings, closed his eyes tightly and let out a heavy sigh.
“To be honest, your words are correct. I can’t defeat such an opponent with my strength alone. If I could have won alone, I wouldn’t have been so obsessed with Ibelia’s ability.”
“…”
“I completely destroyed a peaceful kingdom. Unable to prevent it, I could only helplessly watch it happen. I don’t want to go through that terrible experience again. Neither you nor Ibelia… I don’t want to helplessly watch the Valche Empire, the successor of the Tritan Kingdom, trample on Tritan’s fate again.”
Felix’s voice, laying bare his inner thoughts, was filled with nothing but agony. His face twisted as if in pain, and there was nothing but pure sincerity without a hint of falsehood. Therefore, Khalif couldn’t bring himself to say anything.
“Just like I felt that aura, he should be sensing me as well. So, he probably concealed his presence like a sly fox. Being an entity that accurately knows I can read the aura with just a small amount of power.”
“…”
“Nevertheless, even for a short moment, revealing his presence means he’s ready to move in earnest.”
“…”
“I must be prepared for that horrifying situation that might happen at any time, Khalif. I’m not unaware of your feelings, but I’m desperate even for Ibelia’s power if she can send it to me.”
At the end of his words, Felix closed his eyes tightly once again. The eyelashes that couldn’t bear the strain trembled. It seemed like the movement of a helpless gesture of incompetence.
Khalif felt his throat tightening again. He couldn’t oppose Felix, who was confessing so humbly and putting down his pride to this extent, with any words.
At that moment, Ibelia’s voice echoed in his ears once again.
[No. Khalif, I’ll handle everything. You’ll remember everything, and I’ll solve the problem with Felix. I really want to do that. So, Khal…] […] [Can you stay by my side like you are now? If you just do that, I’ll be truly happy.]In the end, what she wished for was not to solve the problem with Felix but silently watch over her side.
He still felt uneasy. However, Khalif couldn’t help but let out a resigned sigh.
After contemplating for a while, he softly spoke to Felix.
“What I wish for is consistent, be it now or before.”
“…”
“I don’t wish for Eve to get hurt. I hope she doesn’t go through difficulties. That’s all I wish for.”
Whatever Felix decides to do, it was a statement indicating respect and acceptance.
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.
