“Lishi was busy, and Kay was equally occupied.
Lately, Ogre attacks on cities and towns had become more frequent. Ogres, the offspring of orcs and humans, were monsters with intelligence. While many monsters from ancient times had disappeared, those with intelligence chose to survive by mixing blood with humans. There was a time when monsters kidnapped human women so much that the number of women drastically decreased. However, not all hybrids born that way flourished. Those born between monsters like nagas and nymphs, who used magic as their main force, naturally dwindled as magic faded in this era. Hybrid monsters with goblins or kobolds, lacking special abilities, could be exterminated before forming a large group. However, hybrids born between ogres, who were different from orcs, were different. They had tough skin, large bodies, and tremendous strength. In addition, they possessed human intelligence, making them difficult to defeat even if a few human knights confronted them. Ogres scattered across the continent, living quietly until their numbers increased. However, in recent decades, ogres started encroaching on human territory, and humans called them ‘monsters’ or ‘savages.’
“After clearing near Gavizar, now this area is in chaos.”
In the Green Duchy, there was a rugged mountain range to the west, dividing it from the Gavizar Empire. Recently, there were reports of monsters appearing in cities near the mountains.
“They move so fast that they can’t be caught; it doesn’t seem to be ogres. Moreover, according to witnesses, they mentioned that the stature was small.”
“Ogre children are small and quick.”
K nodded in agreement with Eugene’s answer.
“That’s true, but… would ogres use children to attack a village? The attacked village is said to be Kettle Town, right? Even if Kettle Town is a small village, about ten ogres would be enough to trample it.”
“Even though Kettle Town is a small village, we deployed skilled soldiers because it is close to the mountain.”
“But not catching them and not identifying them, that means they are an extraordinary presence. Is there a possibility of sub-humans?”
“I don’t know. According to witnesses, they mentioned having a human form.”
“Hmm. It bothers me. I should go and check it out. It doesn’t seem to be a big problem, so let’s go quickly.”
“I’ll prepare.”
It took about three days to reach Kettle Town by fast horses.
While Eugene prepared to leave, K went to Lishi’s room.
Lishi was chatting with maids, eating fruits.
“Lishi, I’ll be away for about a week. Don’t cry and wait for me to come back.”
“I’m already about to cry.”
“Oh dear.”
“Where are you going?”
“There have been eyewitness accounts of suspicious creatures in Kettle Town. They destroyed the nearby cherry orchard and killed several livestock.”
“Kettle Town…”
Lishi narrowed her eyes, placing her index finger near her lips as if contemplating something.
K couldn’t understand why Lishi was pondering so seriously.
“Is she bothered again because I’m leaving the mansion? Even though she’s with me all day, it seems she doesn’t want to be apart for even a short while.”
While K was indulging in such happy thoughts, Lishi spoke.
“Kettle Town is famous for its mountain cherries.”
“Sounds amazing.”
“I want to go too.”
“Hmm?”
“Mountain cherries quickly go bad, so you have to go nearby to eat them. I want to enjoy fresh mountain cherries.”
K initially wanted to refuse, but soon changed his mind. Since it didn’t seem like a highly dangerous task, it might be okay to go on a trip for a change of mood. Even if the unidentified attackers were ogres, K could handle a few of them alone.
“Well, then we should prepare the carriage.”
“Why would we need a carriage when we have Windy?”
Windy had now become an excellent adult unicorn and could easily conceal its horn.
“It takes about three days to get to Kettle Town even if we hurry. It’s different from a short horse ride.”
“Are you worried I might get tired and collapse?”
“No, I’m worried about your pretty butt hurting.”
While reaching out subtly toward Lishi’s butt, K said, “Hm.”
Krishna cleared her throat.
K had completely forgotten about the maids’ presence.
Whenever Lishi was in front of him, K’s mind was filled with thoughts of her as if he were enchanted. Feeling embarrassed, K looked away and locked eyes with Erwell, who was frowning arrogantly.
“Okay, let’s get ready. We’ll leave as soon as the preparations are complete.”

Stemware in the Stymore Empire Palace.
The garden of the Western Wing, where buildings for esteemed guests gathered, was beautiful with the scent of autumn.
The water spray from the fountain surrounded by flowers in bloom scattered light like jewels.
On a bench in front of the fountain, a woman with lush blonde hair sat in a dress with a pure atmosphere.
It was Brittany.
‘Ah, the weather is nice.’
She realized for the first time how beautiful the fluffy clouds floating in the azure sky were.
Brittany was enveloped in happiness to the point of ecstasy.
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.
