“Do you think that even if it’s devoured by wolves while still alive?”
Haldin deliberately chose harsh words to provoke her, to break her optimism or hypocrisy. But…
“I’ll raise it.”
The woman who always pretended to yield without saying a word now stood her ground and faced him. In the bright snowy landscape, she looked different from any other time.
It was as if she was protecting her young, just like a mother. It was irritating.
What can a mere infant do?
“Well, I wonder if that little one would prefer to be taken by someone who stood by and watched its mother’s death.”
Haldin retorted, reminding Blair of her own situation.
Even if it’s a tiny creature, if it has thoughts and emotions, it would probably prefer to die rather than be taken by the hands of an enemy, just like he despised his fake wife, who was complicit in his mother’s death.
Blair, who understood the meaning behind his words, frowned deeply but didn’t back down.
While the knights were collecting the mother deer’s body, Blair carefully took out the fawn from the nest. Even from such a small creature, she could feel its warmth.
The newborn fawn was still crying pitifully, as if searching for its mother. Seeing that, Blair’s throat tightened.
“What happened to Asiel after I died?”
Only then did she think of Asiel, who was left alone after her death.
After the assassin, Asiel might have killed the child. Even if the child had survived by some stroke of luck, it would have been a thorn in Haldin’s side, someone he despised just like the fake wife who was part of the royal family.
In any case, it was clear that the child would not have a happy ending.
It suddenly became so clear how much she hated him.
As Blair watched Haldin walking away, the cries of the fawn caught her attention. She removed her gloves and gently placed the fawn inside.
One of the knights who had been watching her extended his hand.
“My lady, I’ll take care of this one. You should get back on your horse for now.”
“No, I’ll take it.”
“But it’s difficult to ride with it in this condition. It’s dangerous too…”
“I’ll walk.”
Despite the knight’s worried words, Blair remained resolute.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:
As the knights hesitated and wavered without taking any action, Haldin, who had been overhearing the conversation between the two, approached and took the initiative.
Approaching briskly, he lightly embraced Blair and sat her on his horse.
“Haldin…?”
Blair blinked in surprise at his sudden action.
Haldin immediately mounted behind her and ordered the knight.
“Please follow the lady’s request.”
He used one arm to support Blair’s waist, since she had no hands to hold onto, and with his remaining arm, he took the reins and began to guide the horse slowly.
While his icy gaze was fixed straight ahead, the arm that held her was firm as if determined not to let her go.
Blair, who couldn’t see his face as he stared ahead, lowered her head.
She should be grateful to him for willingly enduring the inconvenience for her sake, but she couldn’t find words to express it while listening to the pitiful cries of the baby fawn.
Even in this situation, the cold man’s embrace was warm, and her instinct made her feel safe in his arms, which seemed amusing.
The winter forest’s breeze passed by the two in silence. When Blair coughed, Haldin placed the fur hat attached to her cloak on her head.
“Why did you follow here when you said a mammoth might appear? You could have been in danger.”
Rather than sarcasm, the fact that she had followed him on the hunt was displeasing to him.
‘Come to think of it…’
A mammoth had not yet appeared. Although occasionally, the sound of birds flying by was heard from the other side, there were no screams.
‘Is it because I, who accompanied today’s hunt, was different from the past, that the future has changed as well?’
If that’s the case, then she should stop doubting and accept that it’s a dream.
As Blair was about to respond to Haldin’s question, something appeared through the pine forest.
Her pupils began to shake violently as she spotted it.
What she saw between the trees was a giant eye.
In that moment, the eye moved, and Blair met its gaze. A chill ran down her spine.
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.
