Icarus clicked his tongue inwardly. Renev must have bragged enough to the point of lightly patting his cheek with the razor blade.
“Is that all?”
“I also added a bit about wanting to return to the palace as soon as possible.”
In response to Bain’s words, some of the knights present nodded as if in agreement.
It had been several months since leaving the palace. There was no doubt that they missed warm food and the embrace of their families.
“Everyone, get a good rest today.”
Saying so, Icarus entered his tent.
“Good night, Your Majesty.”
Bain, who bowed along with the knights, returned to his own tent.
Then, he took out a small piece of paper and wrote tiny characters.
「Your Majesty, recovered from the injury!」
Bain gently stroked the head of the black bird nibbling on the feed on the desk.
“Well done. Someday, I’ll make sure to recognize your merits.”
On the day of the founding festival.
Looking at the nobles entering the Great Hall one by one, Duchess Benderfelt said, “They say that the beginning is half, and we’ve done half, so shall we take a break now?”
“Yes, let’s. We can have a meal during this break.”
Renev nodded lightly and turned her body toward the inside of the hall.
Walking together, Duchess Benderfelt let out a soft laugh.
“Why are you like this?”
“Actually, I’ve been starving for a while now, but you seemed too fine, so it was hard to bring it up.”
“Ah…”
Renev scratched her cheek awkwardly.
Was it because of the tension that she had to successfully finish the founding festival without Icarus? She had been nervous, and she had skipped meals since morning.
That’s why both Renev and Bain were quite hungry now. The feeling of hunger that had been forgotten rushed back as the tension eased a bit.
“I feel the same way. I’m sorry for not considering it earlier.”
When Renev apologized with a sorry expression, Duchess Benderfelt waved her hand and said, “No, no. I also felt quite tense preparing for such a big event like the founding festival for the first time. Even if I tried to put something in my mouth, I would have quickly suffered from indigestion.”
Without speaking or smiling, Duchess Benderfelt emanated quite a cold atmosphere. Enough for the image of the Queen of Paradisium to come to mind.
So, she had an obsession to prepare perfectly for the founding festival without any mistakes.
Since the reputation of the founding festival would soon become Renev’s evaluation.
But hearing that even she was nervous, Renev felt a little more relaxed.
“Now, what shall we eat?”
“Sounds good.”
Duchess Benderfelt gladly nodded at Renev’s suggestion.
Renev looked around at the food prepared on one side of the wall.
‘What should we eat first?’
While pondering, there was a bit of commotion at the entrance of the hall.
‘Is there a problem?’
At that moment, Duchess Benderfelt’s gaze met Renev’s. She also had a slightly furrowed brow as if bothered.
However, she soon spoke with an indifferent expression.
“It seems that a significant person has arrived.”
Renev, holding a plate, put it down, and Duchess Benderfelt also tried to hand over the plate she was holding.
“Let’s go together.”
“I’ll go and check. Please have your meal first.”
Despite Renev’s refusal, Duchess Benderfelt insisted and walked toward the entrance.
And when Renev approached the entrance, it happened. At the announcement of the attendant, Renev’s eyes widened.
“His Royal Highness, the Prince of Paradisium, is entering.”
‘Prince of Paradisium?’
As soon as she heard that, the person Renev immediately thought of was Lucius.
However, the attendant only mentioned that the Prince of Paradisium was entering, without specifying the name.
The invitation to the National Foundation Day ceremony was an entry into the royal palace of Paradisium, so there was a possibility that either the First Prince or the Second Prince had come.
Nevertheless, at the mention of the Prince of Paradisium, her heart began to pound rapidly.
“Just a moment, I’ll be right back.”
In order to identify which prince from Paradisium had come, Reneve pushed through the nobles and moved forward.
“…!”
A man with a height a half-inch taller than those around him, a face handsome and fitting for a male protagonist, looked striking in a white uniform.
“Long time no see, Reneve.”
Lucius gracefully curved his eyes and smiled. On the other hand, Reneve couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Approaching the envoy who was exchanging greetings with the guests in place of Icarus, a messenger brought news to Dehan.
“It seems a messenger bird has arrived.”
Dehan followed the gaze of the messenger. There, a black bird was diligently pecking at the window with its beak.
“I’ll have to step away for a moment. Continue your conversations.”
Apologizing to the gathered nobles, Dehan walked toward the window where the black bird was.
The corners of Dehan’s mouth lifted as he read the contents of the note tied to the messenger bird’s leg.
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.
