Asha’s slender body snugly fit into his strong embrace.
The sound of her heart beating rapidly resonated through her chest.
Memories engraved in her body were always vivid.
Suddenly recalling the memory of jumping off the cliff, Asha found herself trembling in his arms without realizing it.
Karaf felt her trembling body and hesitated, but as if reassuring her, he slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
Once Asha’s feet touched the ground again, she couldn’t bring herself to lift her head.
“Suddenly appearing from behind like that… it’s frightening…”
Karaf, looking very flustered, let go of her abruptly and said.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to startle you…”
Suddenly, Asha noticed a strong fragrance emanating from him and looked up.
His face was unnaturally pale, and seeing his hands trembling, she felt a sudden pang of sympathy.
It was clear that he, too, had just recalled the moment when he fell from the cliff.
Asha cautiously asked him.
“But why did you come here?”
“Oh. I heard you were going to the Lilac Marchioness’s tea party today…”
His words trailed off, but Asha sensed that he was concerned about her.
Perhaps, considering the memories of her past life, he thought something might happen to her among the nobility.
Asha smiled confidently.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do well and come back.”
“Alright… but if anything happens there, I’ll rush to help… No, I’ll come to rescue the Empress.”
Asha laughed softly.
However, at that moment…
“…Your Majesty, are you here by any chance?”
Karaf, with an impressed expression, spoke at the sound of the servant’s voice from outside.
“Oh… I guess I have to run away. That old man keeps bothering me…”
“He bothers Your Majesty?”
Asha asked in surprise.
It was hard to imagine what could trouble the poor elderly servant.
However, judging by Karaf’s anxious expression, it seemed like he had found some weakness.
He bid farewell to Asha and said while exchanging pleasantries.
“I’ll leave now. Have a good time at the tea party.”
As Karaf finished speaking, he quickly descended to the lower floor through the terrace railing.
Asha was surprised and held onto the railing, looking down.
Karaf, grinning mischievously at her, ran through the corridor like a mischievous child.
Asha sighed softly and soon left the room.
Behind her, Sonya followed along the path with a very serious and combat-ready appearance, like a soldier going to the battlefield.
Considering that the Bannetza might mock her for having an escort, Sonya dressed as neatly and imposingly as possible, not hiding the necklace she had hidden under her maid uniform.
As they stepped outside, a luxurious carriage adorned with gold decorations awaited them at the main gate.
As Asha blinked, the servant spoke.
“Her Majesty has chosen the most skilled imperial stableman for me and asked Baronessa to escort you safely and comfortably.”
Karaf, who had prepared in advance upon hearing about the Marquise’s tea party, was considerate. Asha felt grateful for his consideration as she received an escort from the knights and boarded the carriage.
Behind the carriage, several knights of the Cactus Knights rode horses, providing protection.
Even though they were just going to a tea party, it seemed as if they were making a formal appearance in front of imperial citizens.
Asha felt a bit embarrassed, but seeing Sonya, who had eagerly climbed onto the carriage, she relaxed her expression.
Sonya, who had never ridden in such a luxurious carriage in her life, couldn’t stop expressing admiration and chattered while looking out the window.
Thanks to her, Asha could ride in the carriage without getting bored, her tension easing.
Eventually, they arrived at the outdoor tea party venue.
Looking at the luxurious scenery of the mansion, Asha stopped in her place for a moment, letting her heart settle.
As she entered the tea party venue, the simultaneous gazes of the noble young ladies gathered there were directed towards her.
Among them were women who boldly approached Karaf and flirted shamelessly.
Asha walked gracefully, adopting an elegant posture.
Transparent lace fluttered gently in the wind with each step she took.
The atmosphere was reminiscent of a butterfly flying into a flower garden.
Instinctively, everyone felt a certain aura from her and discreetly swallowed their saliva.
Asha discovered Lady René Lilac, smiled brightly, and greeted her.
“Thank you for inviting me to the tea party.”
“Oh, Baronessa. It is an honor that you responded to the invitation.”
Asha smiled, sat down leisurely, and thanked the marquise.
However, despite outwardly smiling, memories of her previous visit to this place suddenly resurfaced, making her sweat internally.
Facing the nobles, they cunningly mocked her, smiling and saying things like:
“Baronessa, it must be frightening for you to spend time with Her Majesty. Oh, since you don’t see Her Majesty’s face often, are you okay?”
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.
