As people arrived at the entrance of the hunting ground, those who had been waiting for the return of the participants in the hunting competition cheered in unison.
“The first to arrive is His Imperial Highness, the First Prince!”
The First Prince smiled triumphantly as he lifted a fox he had hunted high above his head. Blood dripped from the fox’s body, shot and killed, and a red ribbon designated for the First Prince’s assigned area adorned its neck.
“Truly magnificent! Our First Prince, as expected!”
“Hehe… First Prince, well done.”
Queen Lisandro, with a benevolent smile on her face, praised the First Prince joyfully. Emperor Lisandro, standing beside her, nodded with a hearty laugh.
Nobles gathered around, offering congratulations to the First Prince with raised glasses. The sounds of clinking glasses echoed throughout the hunting ground, and the atmosphere became more festive.
The cheerful First Prince, slightly intoxicated, gazed at the sky, colored dimly like his own face. He then exchanged a meaningful smile with Queen Lisandro.
“It seems the sun is about to set! But, I’m worried about those who haven’t returned yet.”
“Yes, you’re right. The Third Prince and Duchess Elyos haven’t returned from Zone 10. Perhaps we should go and find them?”
As the First Prince mentioned this, Queen Lisandro smoothly continued the conversation, as if she had been waiting for him. It was time for them to send witnesses to Zone 10 where participants had not returned, as planned. And soon, they would discover the heated affair between the Third Prince and the Duchess.
It was a moment of satisfaction for Queen Lisandro as she imagined the scene unfolding before her eyes. Another voice, announcing the absence of others, interrupted her thoughts.
“His Grace Duke Elyos and Princess Ophelia, who went to Zone 9, haven’t returned yet!”
“His Imperial Highness, the Second Prince, and Lady Lucia Viscountess, who went to Zone 8, too!”
“Come to think of it… the Duke and the Second Prince haven’t arrived yet!”
It was the absence of presences momentarily forgotten in the excitement. The First Prince looked around with a puzzled expression, but there was no sign of the Duke or the Second Prince.
“The Second Prince is probably preoccupied with his partner. But the Duke hasn’t arrived until now…”
Considering the Duke’s skills, there should have been plenty of time for him to arrive. Unexpectedly, a hint of anxiety colored the face of the First Prince. At that moment, the sound of hooves approaching the entrance of the hunting ground reached their ears.
“Look, a horse is coming!”
As someone shouted, the First Prince turned his head towards the entrance.
“That’s not the Second Prince’s horse!”
The unique golden-maned horse belonged to the Second Prince. Although a rider wasn’t visible at first, as the horse approached, something loaded on its back became clearer. Squinting his eyes, the First Prince ordered the attendants.
“Hurry and go check what’s loaded on the back of the horse!”
The attendants quickly approached the horse and, upon lifting what was on its back, exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s… a person!”
As the attendants pulled down the unconscious man, the gathered onlookers began to murmur as they saw the man’s face.
“My goodness! Isn’t that the Second Prince?”
“It’s hard to tell because of the injuries… but judging by the clothes, it seems to be him.”
“How on earth did it come to this?”
The man was unmistakably the Second Prince, bearing signs of having suffered a severe beating. His carefully maintained face was bruised and swollen, with blood oozing out. If it weren’t for the distinctive and flamboyant hunting attire, it would be challenging to recognize him as the Second Prince.
“What on earth is happening!”
Queen Lisandro, hearing the news, rushed over. Holding the unconscious Second Prince in her arms, the Queen looked down at him with a dismayed expression.
“Who dares to bring a prince to such a state…!”
“Ouch! Are you okay?”
1st Prince also rushed straight to 2nd Prince, but his face was filled with more embarrassment than concern. It was because he sensed that the plans he had made were now going awry upon seeing the condition of the 2nd Prince.
‘I told him not to go forward but to step back…!’
He had ordered reliable subordinates to handle the task of creating a rift between Rainian and the Duchess, but looking at this situation, it was evident that the 2nd Prince had taken matters into his own hands.
‘Seems like he got himself into trouble with Rainian…!’
For some reason, there was no report from the subordinates who had gone to Zone 10, and it was starting to become worrisome. Seeing the unfolding situation, the 1st Prince ground his teeth in anger, swallowing his rage.
“Prince! Please look at Auh. What on earth happened? Who dares to…!”
Queen Lisandro appealed to the 1st Prince with a tearful voice. However, within the gaze exchanged between the 1st Prince and the Queen, there was an implied meaning.
‘We need to handle this situation quickly.’
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.
