Duchess Pearl also exchanged greetings with Rembrandt.
The Emperor’s niece and the Empress’s cousin.
It was a greeting among royal family members with a slight distance.
“Rembrandt, it’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Yes, Duchess. It’s been a while. I hope you’ve been well too?”
They exchanged a lighter handshake and a hug compared to the one with Arthur.
“You’ve become even more splendid. Klein Gong must be extremely proud of you.”
Although it sounded like a casual greeting, Rembrandt read a slightly deeper nuance from Duchess Pearl’s words.
But this wasn’t the occasion to engage in deep conversation.
Ignoring the anxious Marquis and his wife behind him, Rembrandt pretended not to know Christina and responded with a casual greeting.
“Oh, please. Duchess Pearl, you seem to be more beautiful each time I see you. It seems like time doesn’t dare to touch you and is rather avoiding you.”
“That’s not true.”
Duchess Pearl smiled, feeling pleased by the compliment.
“It’s embarrassing to hear such stories for the first time when meeting the greatest beauty in society. Still, thank you. I’ll consider it a show of respect for an adult.”
After exchanging a few more compliments to Arthur and Christina, Duchess Pearl bid farewell.
“We might end up going to the capital together. Take care of our maids. We’ll talk more later. I’ll contact you.”
“Yes. Please contact us anytime. We’ll be waiting.”
Relieved that Rembrandt pretended not to know about Christina’s situation, the Marquis awkwardly held onto Duchess Pearl.
It was strange to let the Emperor’s niece visit without detaining her, and he thought there might be some hidden meaning.
“Duchess, wouldn’t you consider staying here? You could comfortably chat while staying in our mansion.”
Duchess Pearl gave a restrained smile.
“I brought people to help the Imperial family, but I can’t go that far. Thank you for your hospitality, even though I came without notice. I’ll stay comfortably elsewhere.”
“Oh no, not at all. If there’s a chance to host you, it would be an honor for us. Please…”
“It’s almost the same as staying at the residence provided by the Marquis, who takes care of you. I’ll stay comfortably in the place prepared by the Marquis. Thank you.”
But the smiling Duchess Pearl was too beautiful, and the Marquis forgot his initial intention to hold her for politeness.
“However…”
“I also want to visit various places in Julius. Oh, if you need someone to guide you…”
“It’s okay.”
“Oh, actually, there are many people on the estate right now, so it might be difficult to find accommodation. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to come to our mansion…”
After the irritated Duchess poked her husband’s side with her elbow, the Duke stopped talking.
The Duchess smiled.
“Yes. That’s right.”
Belatedly, the Duke regained his composure.
There is no way Agnes Pearl, the Emperor’s niece and Duchess, would have trouble finding accommodation in this empire.
Nobles who already had lodgings would compete to offer her a place to stay, wanting to establish connections with her.
The Duchess simply smiled.
Duchess Pearl introduced the maids to the Marquis and his wife and Rembrandt.
Mrs. Hurst, a maid from the Julius family, joined the Duchess and took over the maids, exchanging words of mutual goodwill.
“See you soon.”
“Yes, Duchess! Please have a good look around!”
After leaving her greetings, Duchess Pearl departed, and Mrs. Hurst guided the palace maids to the two-person maid quarters prepared by the Julius mansion.
Although the Julius maids didn’t show any emotions, a strange atmosphere of dejection settled among them.
The maids were mainly assigned the task of assisting Rembrandt and Arthur, relieving them of the busy tasks at the Duke’s mansion.
Inside Duchess Pearl’s carriage.
The maids praised Duchess Julius and Arthur and Christina.
“They are such an admirable couple. The rumors were not exaggerated.”
“Congratulations again, Duchess. It must be fulfilling to be Arthur’s grandaunt.”
“Arthur’s birth mother would be very grateful to Duchess.”
One of the maids whispered quietly.
“Even the Emperor must be grateful. Where did they find such a son…”
The maids laughed playfully, stifling their giggles.
Agnes smiled and gave appropriate responses, but inwardly, she was deep in thought.
It’s strange…
Was it because of the strategic marriage?
Why… can’t she see anything from Arthur’s wife?
Is their relationship really as harmonious as the rumors suggest?
But they are a married couple.
There’s no way nothing is visible between them…
Nothing was clear about Orror.
It was a matter that couldn’t be disclosed enough to conduct research.
Every time someone caught on to their abilities, there were bloody incidents and assassination attempts in the family.
Having experienced numerous threats and crises as a knight family, the Lusac family thoroughly concealed Orror.
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.
