He couldn’t erase his concerns for her, and she ultimately shed tears as his daughter. However, one thing was certain: her complexion had brightened in a way he had never seen before.
Though he didn’t show it, Edward’s decision to help the Crown Prince became even more resolute at that moment.
The brightened complexion of my daughter was something I saw for the first time after her entry into the palace. Ivelia always pretended to be cheerful in front of me, but as a father, I could easily discern that it was a feigned expression.
As the days passed, her complexion grew darker and more sullen, in contrast to pretending to be happy. If one believed that the bright facade was real, it would be an act unworthy of a parent.
Since seating Ivelia as the Crown Princess, Edwick hadn’t felt at ease for a single day. Even if Ivelia chose to become the Crown Princess, he felt responsible for making his daughter unhappy.
However, the Ivelia he faced after the entry into the palace had a changed complexion for the first time. While her expression was darkened with worry, her complexion was not only brightened but also filled with vitality.
Surely, this meeting was to inquire about Ivelia’s intentions regarding recent events, but I felt like I had heard all the answers just by looking at her complexion.
If the Crown Prince is the one who restored vitality to Ivelia, that alone was sufficient reason to support him.
Edwick pondered over that sentiment once again, gazing straight at the Crown Prince.
“I will do anything that Your Highness commands. However, could you make one promise to me?”
“What promise would you like me to make?”
In response to Edwick’s words, Khalif responded as if he had been waiting. He could fulfill any request Edwick made, and he met Edwick’s gaze with sincerity.
“The day you first came to visit me as the landlord. I hope you won’t forget the reason and the feelings you had when you decided to meet me that day.”
In his continued words, there was a full and tender denial. Khalif looked directly at Edwick, who earnestly observed his expression.
It wasn’t a difficult decision to make. Edwick’s throat tightened at the depth of the feelings that had deeply penetrated his heart, regardless of his own intentions.
On one hand, he felt fortunate. The fact that Ivelia had a warm father like Edwick.
Khalif, trying to erase his heavy heart with warm thoughts, readily nodded with a smile.
“Of course. The sentiment has not changed even once since that day. And it will remain the same in the future.”
“……”
“I will protect Ivelia. I will do everything I can until the moment she feels completely safe, without any regrets.”
Khalif’s continued response was a sincere expression of his true feelings, without a hint of falsehood. It was evident in his voice, as well as in his gaze and expression.
Only then could Edwick genuinely smile with a light heart. With such a steadfast commitment, he felt that he could face whatever awaited at the end of the road with the Crown Prince without regrets.
“Your words have lightened this old man’s heart. Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Gratitude should be extended to the landlord. It must have been a difficult decision, and I sincerely appreciate you coming to me like this.”
For the first time since entering the palace, Khalif showed a genuinely warm smile. Such a feeling was usually experienced when he was with Ivelia, but the sentiment he felt towards Edwick was slightly different.
Even when he was with Ivelia, his heart was at ease, but at the same time, he could never completely relax due to his worries about her.
However, now, facing Edwick, he could momentarily let go of even that tension. A fanciful thought crossed his mind, wondering if he could feel this way with a father with whom he could meet with ease.
Along with that thought, Guardro’s face briefly flashed in his mind, but Khalif quickly brushed it away.
It was unrealistic to expect such things from Guardro at this point. While it was clear that he was his father, the beginning had gone awry. It was better not to entertain thoughts that would only lead to unnecessary disappointment.
Khalif took a deep breath. Then, he organized the stories he needed to convey to Edwick in his mind.
It was going to be a long tale. Edwick probably anticipated this fact just by looking at Khalif’s resolute expression that seemed to have strengthened. However, there was no hint of discomfort in Edwick’s demeanor.
On the contrary, he stared at Khalif with eyes filled with more determination than ever. It somewhat eased Khalif’s heart, burdened with the need to share many stories.
Khalif took another deep breath and slowly exhaled.
“I plan to expel Duke Dwayne from the palace.”
With that, he uttered words that were akin to the opening act of a long story.
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.
