The Sanctuary was located a little far to the northwest of the imperial capital.

It was a place separated from the empire, and the use of magic was strictly forbidden within.

In other words, it meant that the teleportation of Irtis could not be activated within the sacred area.

So they decided to use magic to move only as far as the destination, and the rest would be traveled by carriage.

Irtis was rather dissatisfied with Prodia’s decision.

“It’s not that magic can’t be used at all. Let’s just teleport to the back door of the Sanctuary in one go. It’s fine as long as we don’t get caught by the clergy.”

But Prodia’s thoughts were firm.

“If we get caught by any chance. Do you want to go to war with the Sanctuary even before the tournament starts? Absolutely not.”

Irtis seemed to feel it was a waste, clicking his tongue.

“Tsk. We could get there in just a few seconds.”

“Still, thanks to having a capable contractor, we can quickly get to the vicinity of the sacred area. Be grateful.”

Saying so, Prodia smiled.

Irtis was startled at her sudden compliment.

‘She has become very flattering now.’

But despite the agitation in his heart, Prodia seemed preoccupied with scheduling.

And a moment later.

The two met in the reception room to teleport after completing their preparations.

Prodia asked Irtis,

“What should we do now? Do I just hold your hand?”

Irtis chuckled.

“If that were the case, only the hand would be transported, right?”

“Um, that would be difficult.”

Prodia’s face didn’t change even after hearing this terrible story.

Irtis was amazed.

“You really don’t get surprised even after hearing something like that.”

“What’s there to worry about when I have a skilled magician? You won’t leave my body to be severed, will you?”

Is this, a sign of trust?

Irtis coughed awkwardly.

“Ahem, ahem. Anyway, here.”

Irtis opened his arms wide toward Prodia.

As if to hug him.

Prodia’s unchanging expression finally cracked.

She frowned and asked,

“Don’t tell me, to teleport, I have to hug you?”

“… Aren’t you making it too obvious that you don’t like it?”

“It would be stranger to show that I like it here.”

“See? You always say I’m handsome, but it was all a lie.”

“Just because you’re handsome, should I want to hug you?”

“This is the safest way. Bear with it even if you don’t like it.”

“Sigh.”

Eventually, Prodia approached Irtis and reluctantly hugged him.

The moment Prodia came into his arms, a pleasant fragrance filled Irtis’s nostrils.

Suddenly, Irtis’s heart pounded.

‘What’s this, why does it smell so good …’

Irtis glanced down at Prodia.

But she seemed to dislike hugging him, her face as if she had tasted something foul.

He was displeased that only his heart was pounding.

What was that thing he learned during training with Prodia? What was it?

‘… Endure.’

Thinking so, Irtis tightly hugged Prodia.

Soon the two disappeared into the magic circle.

(This is a time divider.)

Soon after reaching their destination, they continued their journey by carriage.

Irtis walked, throwing the question ‘What is life?’ to himself.

It was because his heart had beaten so fiercely when he hugged Prodia earlier.

‘I must have been mad for a moment.’

Even Prodia didn’t seem to feel anything.

It hurt his pride.

But Prodia was thinking something entirely different while looking at Irtis.

‘I wish he could maintain that calm state a little longer.’

It was a shame that the effects of mental training didn’t last a few days.

Should he train more often? No, save it for when it’s really important.

Prodia never imagined that the reason for his quietness was because of her.

Soon, the carriage carrying them departed for the Sanctuary.
Prodia looked at Irtis, who was sitting across from her.

He was closing his eyes, soaked in tears.

She nodded her head as if satisfied.

‘She must be meditating, preparing for the ceremony. Good, it’s desirable.’

But in fact, Irtis was calming his mind for an entirely different reason.

Because the feeling when he had embraced Prodia earlier kept haunting him.

‘You crazy fool, your opponent is Prodia. The devil teacher! Forget it, just forget what happened earlier…….’

On the other hand, in Prodia’s eyes, he appeared only as an excellent student who thoroughly practiced and applied what he learned.

Then, a breeze blew through the open window.

Irtis’s blueviolet hair fluttered.

Then, his whole face was illuminated by sunlight, shining brilliantly.

It could not have been so beautiful.

Prodia began to admire it, resting her chin.

‘He really is handsome.’

It’s fine if he keeps his mouth shut like that.

Prodia inadvertently chuckled.

He must be tolerating his temper quite a bit. A brave lad.

But what was Irtis’s past story?

Leaving a grown child with only a necklace and abandoning him in front of a stable.

‘What deranged parents…….’

How could they do this to such a pretty child?

It was understandable that his personality turned so wild.

With the stable master added, it must have felt like being abandoned twice.

But that was the end of her sentiment.

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.
