The expedition led by Subjugation Commander, which departed from the convent, moved southward along the road. Their journey continued until they reached the southern sea of Iorenti, the Dites Sea. The sea, creating gentle waves, spread out in golden hues beneath the sunset. Ships anchored at the pier swayed gracefully in response to the music played by the waves.
“Wow, it’s the sea.”
The vast expanse of the Dites Sea before them instantly refreshed their spirits. Delia, leaping off the horse as if flying, rushed towards the sea. Her light footsteps caused her cloak to flutter.
Aaron, leisurely following Delia’s silhouette with his eyes, moved behind her.
“Commander, is this your first time seeing the sea?”
“Why use such harsh words.”
Aaron, recalling the continent’s map, grumbled thoughtfully, “We also have the sea.”
Oh, to the west end. Ah, there’s also the cold sea to the north.
“But still, there’s no sea as beautiful as this one.”
Delia, proudly expressing this, smiled brightly.
Is it because she’s confined by the queen? Or is it because she has been living on the edge between the two countries, performing a delicate balancing act?
Delia, as if her suppressed feelings had burst forth, embraced the sea with her arms wide open. The scent of the sea wafted through the gaps in her flowing robe. Smiling like a child while looking at the sea, her smile was as clear as that of a child.
“In my opinion, it seems like the princess is seeing the sea for the first time. You must have seen it frequently, why do you like it so much?”
When Aaron teased her as he followed, Delia vigorously nodded her head. “It is my first time seeing it.”
“Where did you hear such an unreasonable lie? You’re the one who secretly boarded the ship to Boswell without telling me.”
“Coming together with the Commander is the first time, though.”
Aaron silently stared at Delia for a moment. The blue sea, with the sunset descending, tinted Delia’s eyes. Delia’s golden hair swayed like waves in the wind blowing from the sea. In the sound of crashing waves, Delia’s clear voice reached Aaron.
Regardless of what she said, whether the sea was made of blue sand, she was right.
“That’s true.”
Aaron lightly nodded his head. Delia seemed satisfied with Aaron’s response, and she gave him a deep smile, like the sea itself.
“It’s hard to find such a beautiful sea.”
Because it’s the sea we share.
Looking at the picturesque Delia, Aaron played along.
“Yeah, it’s truly beautiful, as the princess said.”
When Aaron reassuringly agreed, Delia’s eyes, like the sea, deepened with a proud smile.
“Now, it will soon regain its former glory here. More people will come and go, you see.”
Ioventi, which once prospered through intermediate trade and tamed the sea, was now the place where the two countries’ reconciliation was about to be completed.
Delia flashed a satisfied smile with eyes like the sea at Aaron’s response.
“It’s hard to find a sea as beautiful as this one.”
Because it’s the sea we share.
Aaron, looking at the picturesque Delia, played along.
“Yeah, it’s truly beautiful, as the princess said.”
When Aaron reassuringly agreed, Delia’s eyes, like the sea, deepened with a proud smile.
“Now, it will soon regain its former glory here. More people will come and go, you see.”
In the past, Iorenti, which enjoyed prosperity through intermediate trade and tamed the sea, was now a shadow of its former self due to the actions of Pheber.
Pheber.
Pheber was a kingdom formed by gathering scattered pirates. Plundering was like a primal instinct engraved in their blood.
Pheber couldn’t just let merchant ships pass by without plundering. From precious gems, perfumes, fabrics to crafted gold and silver, Pheber, dominating the southern sea, was feeding on the blood of passing merchants.
As a result, merchants had no choice but to choose the land route through Aestrella, considering it less risky than the sea route. As the decline of Iorenti and the three southern countries prolonged, Aestrella’s tolls increased. With Aestrella’s tolls rising, Stylates’ discontent also escalated.
The dissatisfaction of the Stylates Empire became a direct and indirect cause of the Southern Three Nations Conquest War.
“Now we won’t just leave Pheber be.”
Delia’s eyes captured the blue sea with golden ripples. If the firepower of the Stylates Empire and the navigation skills of Iorenti were combined, it was not an impossible task.
“Once we suppress Pheber and the sea becomes safe, not only Iorenti’s merchants but also the Empire’s merchants will come and go.”
As if enchanted by Delia’s dream.
Aaron silently gazed at her. Her fluttering hair sparkled excessively.
Like a light that cannot be grasped, like the sun setting beyond the sea.
It was cruelly dazzling.
If it was related to Iorenti, he might end up leaving her behind and running away.
Aaron gently embraced Delia from behind, as if she would disappear soon.
“Iorenti will regain its former glory.”
Delia, leaning against Aaron’s chest, stared at the distant sea.
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.
