Watching Icar and Patrick head towards the training ground, Reneve let out a faint sigh.
“Ah…”
She delicately placed the napkin on the table, and the steward spoke.
“Miss, may I offer my opinion?”
When Reneve looked at him, the steward continued.
“In the mansion, there’s a discreet location where you can observe the training ground without being noticed.”
Reneve rose from her seat.
“Where is it?”
“I’ll show you.”
Bowing slightly, the steward led the way. Reneve hurriedly followed.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Icar. The incident yesterday, where the Siren Marquess granted Icar a solo performance, had left her uneasy. She worried if Patrick might make a significant mistake with Icar.
She needed to know what Patrick was up to.
“Here it is.”
The steward’s steps stopped at a bedroom not far from the dining room.
The furniture arranged inside the spacious room was luxurious, well-maintained without a speck of dust.
“Is this a guest room?”
The furniture, which looked quaint rather than belonging to the Siren Marquess or Patrick, naturally led her to that assumption.
“You can see the training ground well from here.”
As the steward pulled back the drapes, sunlight streamed in through the large window.
“Thank you for guiding me, Steward.”
Saying so, Reneve approached the window.
“No need. Since yesterday, I’ve noticed the Miss spending time alone and lost in thought.”
It seemed like they were concerned about her, watching over the Siren Marquess and Icar drinking in the reception room.
Smiling slightly at him, Reneve turned her gaze toward the training ground.
“It seems like the knights’ training is about to begin.”
As the steward mentioned, the knights were gathering in the training ground. Two figures stood in front of them.
The bedroom guided by the steward was quite far from the training ground, making it difficult to identify people precisely.
However, Reneve could easily spot Icar.
Even amidst the sturdy and tall knights, Icar stood out noticeably.
He indeed had something captivating that drew people’s attention.
“The Emperor looks very elegant.”
The steward admired while looking towards the training ground.
It wasn’t just Reneve who thought so.
Reneve nodded slightly, then shifted her gaze to Patrick beside her.
“I didn’t pay much attention until now…”
Patrick was also quite tall and had a well-built physique.
Anyone standing next to Icar might look petite due to the difference in stature, but Patrick was an exception.
For a while, Reneve observed the knights’ training.
Contrary to her worries, there seemed to be no ulterior motive from Patrick.
When Reneve was about to leave her spot, the knights, who were swinging their swords in pairs, began to withdraw to one side of the training ground.
Soon, only two knights remained in the center of the training ground.
“It seems they’re about to begin their sparring.”
Watching the knights, a thought suddenly crossed Reneve’s mind.
It seemed like the two wealthy Sirens were testing Icar in different ways.
The Siren Marquess as the director, and Patrick as the one sparring with him.
“I should go to the training ground.”
Reneve immediately turned. At that moment, the steward spoke.
“Miss, may I express my opinion?”
“…”
“It might be better to leave things as they are, following Young Master’s intentions. It may not be good later if you interfere.”
“I understand what you’re saying. But the opponent is the Emperor.”
“…Miss’s words are correct.”
The steward, with a polite posture and hands clasped, spoke as he nodded his head.
“That person is the Emperor of Basuker. A very distinguished individual, isn’t he? However, at the same time, he is the one and only husband of the world’s most precious younger sister.”
Reneve pondered with her face buried in her hands.
Icar’s sword skills were said to surpass anyone in the Basuker Empire. However, Patrick, excluding the Siren Marquess, was currently the strongest in Paradisium.
If the two were to face each other seriously, it was unknown who might be significantly injured.
And both of them were precious to Reneve.
Reneve spoke firmly to the steward who stood in her way.
“Would you please step aside?”
Though wearing an awkward expression, the steward stepped back matter-of-factly. It was as if he had no authority to stop Reneve if she wished to go to the training ground.
“Of course.”
Meanwhile, Patrick cautiously glanced at Icar, who was observing the knights’ training with a careful gaze.
“…Is he a monster?”
The previous day, the Siren Marquess had requested high-proof liquor. The amount of alcohol brought by the servants was by no means enough for the two to finish in a few hours.
As a result, the Siren Marquess had a proper hangover, despite Reneve’s efforts with the honey tea she prepared.
Although not one to usually enjoy alcohol, the Siren Marquess had quite a strong tolerance. At least, according to Patrick’s knowledge, there was never a case where he lost to someone in drinking.
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.
