Luca might have kissed Prodia.
The moment he thought that, Eurtis felt like his blood was rushing backward.
Why on earth?
The answer was obvious. Prodia is my contractor.
Anything that could threaten her safety must be thoroughly removed before the tournament ends.
But is that all?
What snapped him out of that thought was Prodia’s cold voice.
“Why are you curious?”
It was a tone as if to say, what’s it to you?
Yeah, that’s right. Prodia, even if you kissed another man, what does it have to do with me?
But for some reason, the answer that came out was the exact opposite of reason.
“How can I stay still after hearing such talk?”
“Why? If Luca kissed me, will you hit him again?”
Why are you talking like that?
Looking at Eurtis’s serious face, Prodia sighed.
“Calm down. For now, nothing happened.”
“What? Then you should have told me earlier…”
“Even if it did, why do I have to explain it to Eurtis?”
It’s an incredibly scornful response.
“……Because I’m worried.”
“I’ll take care of my own affairs. So don’t worry about unnecessary things, just focus on the tournament.”
“What do you mean unnecessary? How can you say that?”
“The most important thing for you now is the Buma Preliminaries. You don’t need to care about anything else.”
Even if it’s you?
But seeing Prodia’s expression, Eurtis’s words were blocked.
So he just clenched his fist without saying a word.
At that moment, Luca, who had been leaning against the wall, slowly opened his eyes.
“Uh….”
But his pupils were golden, not red.
It was Papiere.
He drew a heavy breath and asked Prodia with difficulty.
“P, Prodia? Cough! Again…… Luca? Was it Luca again…… who caused trouble?”
Prodia approached Papiere and patted his shoulder.
“It’s okay, rest for now. I’ll tell you the details later.”
“Heuk, I’m sorry…….”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, Papiere. So wipe your tears and get up.”
After helping Papiere up, she called a servant to lead him to his room.
Watching him leave, Prodia sighed inwardly.
‘Sigh…… Papiere’s condition has reached that point. I’ll have to postpone training until tomorrow.’
How should I adjust the schedule?
As she was lost in thought, Eurtis approached her from behind.
“Prodia.”
“Yes?”
“No matter what you say, I’ll continue to care about you.”
“Why are you so stubborn about something unnecessary? Just focus on the tournament.”
“No, it’s not unnecessary at all. It’s important. Because you are my…….”
Eurtis, hesitating for a moment, continued his sentence.
“……Contractor.”
“Ah.”
“If something happens to you, it won’t be good for me. So until the tournament ends, I’ll continue to look after you, just know that.”
Prodia sighed. She didn’t think she could break his stubbornness.
“Sigh, fine. But promise me this.”
“Tell me.”
“In any situation, prioritize the tournament over me.”
“……Alright.”
“Whether it’s Papiere or Luca, absolutely no hitting. Violence is strictly prohibited from now on.”
“What if that kid pulls something on you again?”
“I’ll handle it.”
Eurtis, instead of answering, reluctantly nodded.
Prodia, having finished the conversation, looked tired.
“I’m going now. You should go and rest too. We’ll start training tomorrow.”
“……You rest well too.”
With that, the two parted.
On the way to his room.
Eurtis was walking down the hallway alone, lost in thought.
He mulled over the words he had said to Prodia earlier.
‘You are my contractor.’
After blurting that out, he felt like his thoughts were starting to clear.
Prodia was an essential presence for him to win the tournament.
But what if Prodia started dating Luca?
That’s unacceptable. Then they might ruin training by dating.
Yeah, that’s it.
With that delusion, Eurtis took a light step forward.
The next day.
At breakfast, Prodia turned on the status windows of the two men.
Fortunately, it was Luca who appeared in the dining room, not Papiere.
“Sister, good morning.”
‘Oh yeah, the status window.’
Pang!
Soon, a blue status window floated above Luca’s head.
[Name: Luca (Papiere).Occupation: None (Senior Priest).
Dream: None.]
Then, Prodia turned on the status window of Irtis as well.
[Name: Irtis(?).Occupation: Archmage.
Dream: None.]
As she looked at the status window with a serious expression, Luca, who was watching, asked,
“Sister, why are you zoning out instead of eating? Shall I feed you?”
“I can eat myself, so hurry up and eat.”
“Tell me if you change your mind.”
Even though he said so, Luca didn’t give up.
He began to gaze at her, resting his chin in his hands.
“Why is sister pretty even when she’s blank?”
But whatever Luca babbled, Prodia was consistently expressionless.
Rather, Irtis, who was sitting opposite Luca, became annoyed.
“Eat your food quickly. Don’t you know training is delayed a day because of you?”
“Isn’t it all because someone hit me rudely?”
While the two men argued, Prodia kept looking at the status window.
[Name: Irtis(?).]First, the question mark next to Irtis’s name.
‘In Papiere’s case, the question mark disappeared when Luca appeared.’
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.
