“Captain of the Guard, please summon Captain Jerr Bruska to this place.”
To conceal her trembling hand, Delia tightly gripped the black dress’s hem.
“The Captain of the Guard is someone who, by the order of my father, His Majesty the King, assisted me. He fought alongside me against the Imperial army in the Tarence Mountains and investigated Mei Carlo.”
With a sense of clinging to the edge of a cliff, Delia appealed to the lawmakers.
“Captain Jerr Bruska, if summoned, will be able to testify sufficiently about my situation.”
In response to Delia’s request, Giuliano nodded.
Some lawmakers also expressed their agreement to give the princess a chance to explain.
Only now did Delia seem to breathe a thin sigh of relief.
If Jerr explained the situation, she might be able to dispel the suspicions.
There would be time to explain why she was with the commander, and everything had a reason.
And by calling the Wangseong Guard to show support and moving the Imperial army in the meantime…
As Delia quickly formulated various plans in her mind, she felt a creepy sensation.
Delia requested the Captain of the Guard to be summoned to explain her position.
However, Rebolant, who had been pushing Delia to the edge of the cliff, raised his hand.
Rebolant indicated his agreement to summon Captain Jerr, with a venomous smile while staring at Delia.
What’s going on?
Delia chewed her lips, not knowing how hard she bit, and blood tinged her mouth with bitterness.
What am I missing exactly?
Before Delia could grasp Rebolant’s intentions, the door to the conference room opened.
“I am Captain Jerr Bruska of the Ioleti Royal Guard.”
Entering, Jerr politely greeted the lawmakers.
Then, lifting his head, he looked at Delia.
The moment their gazes met.
“Ah.”
Delia’s lips opened slightly.
“It’s you.”
Delia repeated without knowing what she was saying.
“It was you.”
In Delia’s dazed mind, the images of the 40-odd corpses lying in Wangseong last night emerged.
“You betrayed me.”
Under the moonlit Tarence Mountains, the Guard that had rescued her even when she was captured as a prisoner.
The Guard who had participated in weapon confiscation operations and POW rescue missions together.
They had been entrusted with guarding her parents and returned after moving with her parents, who ended up dying.
In the end, among those who attacked the Imperial army with her, everyone else died and disappeared.
Except for Captain Jerr, the Captain of the Guard.
“You handed over your comrades. You.”
Delia mumbled absentmindedly.
Like gears of a precise destiny meshing together.
The people she had desperately tried to save had met their predetermined deaths.
Her parents and the Guard.
Unable to bear the inevitable weight of destiny, Delia dropped her head.
“The Princess has called for the Captain of the Guard. Do you have anything to verify?”
Delia pursed her lips, but she had no words to say.
Her chest tightened, and she couldn’t even utter a groan.
“Princess, if you have a rebuttal, please speak now.”
Lawmakers grumbled in front of Delia, who couldn’t say anything.
“Then, did the princess plant a spy in Wangseong and lead the battle in Kabat Plains to defeat?”
“Playing around with the enemy’s commander.”
“Perhaps, as Rebolant said, the king’s assassination was also orchestrated by the princess.”
“Why did our Ioleti.”
They had already made up their minds.
A traitor who sold herself to a foreign power, a spy who provided information to induce defeat.
Expelling Oravi for power, the notorious villainess who killed her parents.
When framed within the framework of patriotism, the events were natural, just as they fit seamlessly into the framework of treason.
The lawmakers’ disdainful gazes turned into sharp blades, tearing into Delia’s flesh.
“Does the princess have nothing to say? Since time is not sufficient, let’s proceed with the meeting again. I have brought another important witness.”
Rebolant finished speaking and looked toward the door.
There entered a person wearing a deep hood, responding to Rebolant’s call.
“Nice to see you again, honorable lawmakers.”
The person greeted and slowly, cautiously removed the hood, revealing the face.
Prince Alfredo.
The Crown Prince, who narrowly escaped execution after the defeat at Kabat Plains, had returned.
Rebolant courteously greeted the prince, raising his acknowledgment.
“Thank you for enduring and evading the Imperial army’s search. Your Highness, Crown Prince Alfredo.”
The lawmakers, still in shock, rose and saluted without regaining composure.
“In fact, right after the defeat of the Kabat Plains battle, there was a request for help from His Highness the Crown Prince. It seems there are forces within Wangseong trying to undermine him.”
Having said that much, Rebolant continued, staring at the audience.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has, under the command of His Highness, been secretly investigating. That is the result we have now.”
Alfredo nodded his head slightly.
“Rebolant, thank you. For helping catch the traitor to our country.”
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.
