Eliza moved quickly to prepare the bathwater before Princess Reina returned.
As she reached the door of the dormitory room, she stopped abruptly.
For a moment, her eyes narrowed, and her pupils shone with a dangerous light.
“Oh, I forgot the perfume.”
She grumbled to herself, but her articulate words resonated down the hallway.
Glancing back at the door, Eliza turned to leave, and the sound of her receding footsteps echoed down the hall.
As she reached the end of the hallway, she sprang forward with a terrifying force, reaching the door in a single leap and flinging it open.
“Caught you!”
Swinging her short blade, Eliza turned the curtain by the window into rags, and it fell with a thud. But there was nothing behind it.
Eliza’s eyes sharpened even more. She immediately locked the door and windows and began searching the room thoroughly.
“Surely, there was a sign.”
Having scoured the room for hiding places in just a few seconds, Eliza placed her hands on her waist and muttered.
Then someone tapped on Eliza’s shoulder.
She immediately swung her blade, but it was effortlessly blocked.
“Calm down, it’s me.”
“Your Highness!”
Eliza’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. She was shocked not only by the identity of the intruder but also by how easily Kirian had blocked her blade.
When had he become so skilled?
But soon, Eliza’s eyes sharpened again.
“Anyway, why are you here? Especially sneaking in when the master is away.”
“Sneaking?”
Kirian made a face as if greatly wronged, but Eliza did not back down.
“If you do not explain yourself properly, I will have no choice but to deal with an uninvited guest.”
She might have thought it impossible to handle Prince Kirian, given how easily he had blocked her blade just now, but Eliza was always faithful to her duties. Fortunately, Kirian raised his hands and took a step back.
“Calm down. My sister gave me permission.”
“Princess Reina?”
The tone was full of disbelief.
“Really. She felt sorry for my homelessness and said I could stay for a while.”
“Hmm.”
Kirian sighed slightly, looking at Eliza, whose eyes were still full of distrust.
“You do know that I’m the heir to the household I serve?”
“Yes, so?”
She looked puzzled as to why he brought that up.
Kirian sighed again.
“Anyway, that’s not why I showed up in front of you.”
A deep furrow appeared in Eliza’s brow. It sounded as though he had given away his presence on purpose.
She hadn’t sensed anything strange in the past few days. Perhaps she needed to intensify her training.
“Someone is trying to put my sister in a tight spot.”
“What!”
All thoughts of training vanished as Eliza gripped her blade again.
“Who are they! Those vile creatures.”
Before the two young ladies were found cold and lifeless in the garden, Kirian quickly stopped Eliza.
“No, not that kind of threat, but a scheme by the aristocratic young ladies.”
“I will cut them down at once!”
Whether an assassin’s attack or the bullying of aristocratic young ladies, it seemed all the same to Eliza.
Feeling fatigue setting in, Kirian began to deeply question whether informing Eliza of this situation was the right decision.
But he had no other cards to play. He had told his sister, but her response had been indifferent.
“What can they do? I’ll handle it myself.”
Being neither an academy student nor able to intervene, he was stuck.
“Forget about cutting them down.”
Kirian’s lips formed a thin line.
“Eliza, there’s something else I’d like your help with.”
(This is a time separator.)
The following week, Eliza stood, arms crossed and wearing a stern expression, at the academy’s main gate, not only with the members but also alone.
“Eliza. What brings you here?”
“I’ve come to attend to my lady.”
Eliza’s trapezius muscle twitched several times as she stared at Douglas YoungAe intently. Douglas YoungAe shrugged under Eliza’s gaze.
The other YoungAes also seemed somewhat subdued by Eliza’s threatening momentum.
But when they saw Eliza’s determined face, they felt that they would definitely follow her even if they had to run after the carriage.
“Yes. Well, Eliza has much to teach the children.”
I finally agreed and climbed into the carriage.
“Yes, of course. How to cleanly break a bone and fit it back together, how to paralyze someone with just two fingers. Whatever you request, I can teach immediately.”
I sighed as I looked at the faces of the other YoungAes, turned pale blue. I think I will have to ask Eliza to take the children for a plane ride during her break time.
(This is a time separator.)
Fortunately, upon arriving at the orphanage, Eliza only quietly observed the other YoungAes’ lessons. With Eliza’s problem solved, the only remaining headache was Douglas YoungAe.
I sat next to Douglas YoungAe today, just in case.
“Teacher, Teacher.”
Last week, Douglas YoungAe’s charge, Aena, shyly held something out.
Upon closer examination, it was a small glass bottle. Inside, water sloshed around.
“I’ll give this to you.”
“What is it?”
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.
