They look so much alike.
I chuckled as I looked down at the sleeping child.
Despite the features not being perfectly defined, the child resembled Bake. At least, this child wouldn’t be denied by their father due to their appearance.
If that’s the case, it might have been better not to see.
I exhaled a short breath, pretending not to know the bitter feelings inside.
The child, whose whereabouts became unclear, was supposed to be left at the palace temporarily while Margaret was being investigated, but now Margaret would never see the light of day.
The child would live without ever knowing who their parents were.
It had to be that way. That was the maximum mercy I could offer.
I turned my body, trying to erase the sight of the child. It was because I felt a sign from behind.
“How do you plan to handle the child?”
“We’ll leave it with a childless couple.”
“Leaving a child without parents won’t be good.”
“We’ll send it to another country, and we’ll handle the aftermath to make it untraceable. There won’t be any lingering issues.”
I couldn’t make the child suffer as my daughter did, but the child was too young. I couldn’t bring myself to harm an innocent life, even if the parents were guilty.
“In this aspect, your heart is still tender.”
“Although the child’s location has become uncertain, there may still be those who are after it. It’s better to be cautious about security.”
“You seem reluctant to discuss this. Well, fine. That’s not the most important thing.”
“Do you have any new information?”
“Pirates have appeared in the Pelle Sea.”
“…….”
“Of course, it’s not for a pure motive. Plundering is the daily life of pirates, but the problem is that it’s in the Pelle Sea.”
“Considering the report that Craton’s convoy was attacked, it can’t be a coincidence.”
The Pelle Sea is one of the routes Craton’s trade ships take, and it was where Bake prepared the most for a business venture this year.
Considering that the trade ships secretly moved to prepare for pirates and, looking at the timing when the trade ships that had finished their trade were about to return, the pirates appeared right on schedule.
“Faster than expected.”
“It seems inevitable when you’re in a difficult situation, isn’t it?”
“If Craton’s trade ships are plundered, it will be a significant loss for Craton.”
“It could also be seen as a statement that your brother is giving up a peaceful route.”
If the enemy began to show strength, it was inevitable that they would reveal themselves. Finally, the opportunity to catch the one who had been hiding so far had come.
But the emperor, who would now suffer losses, wore a darker expression than I did. It was an attitude that was not like someone who had been waiting for this opportunity for so long.
“Do you have any trouble?”
“I’m really wondering if my brother is in a difficult situation.”
“Isn’t that the right way to see it? If the current suspicion is added to the suspicion of murdering the former emperor…”
“If there was a testament from my brother to the former emperor?”
“Was the rumor true?”
There were such rumors. One of the emperor’s half-brothers is said to be alive, but still, the emperor made him a dead man because he possessed the real testament of the former emperor.
As the rumor that one of the emperor’s half-brothers survived turned out to be true among the various rumors, other rumors could also be true.
However, contrary to my expectations, the emperor only shook his head.
“No. I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“I suspect that my brother used the madness of the former emperor to attack Craton and Pherun according to his taste. In that case, couldn’t he have prepared the testament as much as he wanted?”
“It’s not impossible.”
“I may say this, but the former emperor was lustful. Besides what was revealed, there were many women.”
The emperor didn’t say the next words, but it could be inferred.
Officially known were only three children of the former emperor, but there were actually more. They just hadn’t survived until now.
“Those who survive usually have their reasons.”
“……”
“Don’t be careless. My brother is a formidable person.”
“The one who defeated such a person is Your Majesty, isn’t it?”
“Well.”
Being victorious in the struggle for the throne among the princes could make one an emperor.
It was something I had naturally assumed, but the emperor’s answer was somewhat unsettling. Rather, the emperor’s side was the first to open their mouths.
“It wasn’t me who won, it was the former empress.”
“……”
“She was quite remarkable too. She did anything to get what she wanted.”
“Anything?”
“Yeah, anything.”
The emperor nodded lightly, loosening the stern expression, and smiled again. I watched that sight and just closed my mouth.
“Usually, people are curious. About words or expressions.”
“If it’s something I need to know, you should tell me first.”
“This appearance is similar to your father.”
“……”
“Don’t make such a face. It’s a compliment.”
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.
