However, considering the change in Darrhan’s attitude, which was somewhat suspicious compared to a moment ago when he lost his composure and collapsed, it was noteworthy.
“Hmm~ I see. You must have a lot to handle. I understand.”
Matapju nodded with a bright smile. His eyes, however, were still not smiling.
Without much reaction to Matapju’s teasing, Darrhan quietly stepped back.
Thud. When the door to the court chamber closed, the Emperor picked up a wine glass and drank from it.
“Besides Lord Bridend’s soldiers, there seems to be another ‘secret’ on the mountain Matapju desires.”
As the Emperor wiped his face, the fatigue from a day’s work became apparent.
Matapju, who had tied his hair with a ribbon, gestured to the air and produced the land donation documents.
The imperial seal of the Hwang family, placed on the desk in the study, appeared in front of the Emperor.
“I suspected you knew. If you want assurance, I’ll tell you.”
Matapju, with a mysterious expression, took out the land registration permit application for the village along with the land donation documents.
“Considering the recent confrontation between Lord and me, wouldn’t you need assurance?”
As the Emperor chuckled while examining the documents on the table, it was evident from Lord Bridend’s attitude alone what was going on.
‘He must have gathered the necessary materials for treason. Having successfully eliminated the Grand Duke, what else could he not do.’
The Emperor, always prepared for contingencies, lived with the anxiety of potentially losing his power, despite possessing a power stronger than anyone else.
Having marked the end of the long war with a great victory, all that remained was stability within the empire.
‘Stability, huh.’
It must be a civil war.
With a sardonic smile, the Emperor readily stamped the imperial seal on the documents.
Having obtained the Emperor’s approval as desired, Matapju rose from his seat without hesitation.
“I believe that the agreement Matapju mentioned a while ago will be kept.”
When Matapju unfolded the soundproofing magic, there was a hidden agreement that he discreetly presented.
Since Matapju was satisfied with the conditions he had laid out, not only did he scratch the emotions of Darrhan, the leader of the noble faction, but he also openly acknowledged Matapju’s hand.
The Emperor, through a simple weighing, chose the side that benefited him. His personal feelings towards Darrhan were a separate matter.
“Yes. Personally, I will inquire about the life and death of Duke Gwendhill.”
“Please proceed as quickly as possible. Soon, there will be numerous appeals demanding the formal announcement of the Duke’s death, as Darrhan just left sharpening it. Pressures on the Gwendhill Duke within the empire were about to intensify. To prevent the empire’s people from questioning the Duke’s death, which lacked a body, and to carry out the postponed funeral, the Duke’s death had to be acknowledged and accepted without any doubts.
It was not executed but missing, and pushing an unfounded certainty that the Emperor’s situation was not easy to impose.
“I will do my best, Your Majesty.”
Matapju bowed gracefully to the Emperor.
Then, he lightly flicked his fingers. The destination was Matap.
“I’ve worked this much, so Bireta, you need to make an effort too.”
Matapju handed over everything related to Darrhan’s worries to Bireta, who was obvious to him.
Matapju left the palace, approaching midnight.
Unauthorized intruders were swarming around Ashu’s village, centered like an ant colony, not permitted in the owner’s mountain.
“They’ve come.”
As the sound of rustling trees gradually grew louder, in the dark village without a single point of light, Bireta silently drew her sword.
Since Matapju successfully scratched the depths of Darrhan Bridend’s soul according to the plan, it was now the turn of the Krofel mercenary corps to handle the outburst.
“Be careful not to wake the residents.”
The night grew long, and dawn passed quietly.
The Krofel mercenary corps disappeared into the darkness all at once.
At this moment, the Krofel mercenary corps did not know.
What was holding their attention was just a decoy, and the real unwanted guests began to reveal themselves within the village.
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.
