It had already been two days since I’d secretly met with Raven.
But not Sione, nor anyone else in the palace, had mentioned my clandestine outing.
I had been quite nervous, fearing I’d be caught, but as there had been no talk about it so far, it seemed no one had noticed.
‘Spirit abilities really are useful.’
Though it was mostly due to my racial traits that were less influenced by magic, the power of the spirit who could easily neutralize a barrier set by an expert like Sione was quite remarkable.
When night fell, I took out a box of cupcakes I’d made during the day with the maid sisters and summoned the spirit.
「Yawn. Why do you keep calling me at this hour? I was just about to sleep!」
The spirit, wearing the same green dress as last time, yawned and complained. I promptly extended the prepared box to her.
“Want some? Here, cupcakes!”
「Oh my!」
Her face instantly brightened, and she snatched the box from my hand.
I couldn’t understand how such great strength came from that tiny body.
「Hmm, yum! My goodness, this is so delicious! I wouldn’t even know if one of us died while eating this. How did you make these?」
“I made it with a lot of effort.”
I recalled the six hours I spent baking during the day with the maid sisters.
The moment Sione, who had even prepared a cute apron and headband for my first baking experience, took command with a serious expression.
And when the maid sisters and I, lacking skill, were covered in flour and cream, we laughed heartily at each other.
Thinking about it now, we might have been embarrassingly enthusiastic, but it was truly a joyful time.
‘I should be more appreciative from now on.’
Lately, delicious snacks and desserts made by Sione had always been around me.
Consuming them was directly connected to recovering magical energy, which was perhaps even more important than meals, but the taste had grown stale from frequent consumption.
However, baking today made me realize how much effort even goes into making a single, palm-sized snack.
Hoping it would bake well while worrying, and then being really happy when it succeeded, were all genuine feelings.
‘Although I don’t like that the beneficiary is this grumpy spirit…’
Watching the spirit devouring the cupcakes joyfully, I felt mixed emotions.
In the meantime, the spirit who had quickly devoured two cupcakes spoke with a satisfied expression.
「Whew, that was really delicious. It seems even better than last time, doesn’t it?」
“…Really?”
「Yeah. Last time the scent felt like it was made for you, but this is different. Food made with heart smells different.」
The last time we met, she rambled about dark magic smelling foul.
And now she’s saying she can even sense my feelings?
‘Well, I did make it with her in mind…’
I blushed slightly, recalling the cupcake decorated deliberately with green cream and petals.
The transparent petals and the green hues reminded me exactly of the spirit in front of me.
“It’s, it’s not made for you!”
「Heee~ Really? It feels like a perfect match though~」
“No, it’s not!”
Though I snapped back, feeling embarrassed, the spirit only chuckled as if she had already caught on.
Annoyed, I muttered under my breath.
“I’ll master it next time. Making fairy food.”
「Hmm, it shouldn’t be too hard. I wonder if our cute little lady can pull it off~?」
“I can do it!”
I growled like an angry lion cub, and the spirit fluttered her wings joyfully, circling around me.
After that, I learned how to create a barrier by scolding the playful spirits and how to pass through magical boundaries.
I thought both tasks would be extremely difficult before learning them, but once I knew, they were surprisingly simple.
“Just close your eyes tight and imagine the barrier you saw earlier! Then make a wish. Make it so I can’t be seen from the outside!”
“……Hey, are you messing with me?”
“Idiot! The ability to summon spirits comes naturally to spirit mages. It’s the same for spirits drawing power from nature. You already possess the same power as us. Fairies and spirits share the same origin, you know.”
“What does that have to do with me creating barriers?”
“Ugh, the problem with demons is that they only use their heads! Just try it already. Without probing too much.”
Grumbling that it was nonsense, I soon saw an incredible result with my own eyes.
Just as the spirit had said, I prayed in my heart while recalling the shape and features of the barrier I had seen yesterday, and it appeared exactly the same!
“……Wow. It actually worked.”
“See, I told you. From now on, stop doubting and start trusting a little more. If you start like this as a child, you’re useless!”
I glared once at the spirit, who was puffing out its chest as if proud, then repeated the practice.
I wasn’t sure if it actually worked, but it felt like I had perfectly succeeded.
“You can pass through the barriers you saw last time in the same way. Just do as I showed you earlier! Easy, right?”
“Easy, you say……”
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.
