“Do you have a place to go?”
The woman’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.
“Why would you ask that?”
At the question laden with caution, Kite tried to speak in as gentle a voice as possible.
“To help you. Being alone without an escort at this hour is too dangerous.”
“Lowering your voice like that makes you seem even more dangerous, you know?”
“Ha!”
A laugh was heard from somewhere.
“What was that?”
Kite asked, trying to ignore the presence of his colleague Hazen, who was probably snickering behind him.
“Me, cough, when did I change my voice?”
“Just a moment ago.”
“I asked because I wanted to help, but this is too much.”
“Too much? It’s not something a person who acted strangely upon first meeting would say, is it?”
“Strange act?”
Luella raised her hand and subtly moved one finger.
“Like this.”
At her hand gesture, which mimicked what she had done before, Kite hesitated for a moment.
He had vehemently denied having enticed his friend, but it was true that he felt embarrassed.
However, he really had no ulterior motive toward her. He only needed her abilities. So, she was making an absurd misunderstanding.
“To scorn another’s goodwill like that.”
“This was goodwill?”
At the sight of her again moving her finger, Kite raised both hands.
“If it looks so suspicious to you, then do as you wish. I won’t entice you any further.”
“Are you sulking?”
“What? Sul… no!”
Kite yelled momentarily in response to the absurd misunderstanding.
“Ouch, okay. Calm down and answer me. You said nobody would help me because of the hostile act declaration, right? But why are you offering to help?”
The man spoke arrogantly.
“I am the only one in this place who can stand up to Balder’s guild.”
“Are you rich?”
“Being rich doesn’t mean you can stand up to Balder’s guild.”
“Judging from your behavior at the party yesterday, it seems like you have a lot of money… so you’re not rich enough to be called rich, huh? Then, are you from a more powerful family than Balder?”
Kite, reminded of his status here, answered right away.
“How could that be? Balder is the son of King Curan. He’s said to be the next king. I can’t possibly be more powerful than him, can I?”
Balder was royalty? Adding insult to injury. At the overly cynical response, Luella frowned.
“Then what exactly are you planning to do to help me?”
The man, who was looking at her with an annoyed face, seemed to be about to say something important, and bowed his head.
“I’m going to create a guild.”
Aware of the man’s tickling breath at her ear, Luella couldn’t hide her disappointment and yelled.
“Is that all?”
“Is that all!”
The man, who had been angrily shouting, let out a fake cough and began explaining again.
“In this country, fear of being cast out by Balder prevents even thinking about creating a guild.”
“Then are there no guilds here other than Balder’s guild? Guild creation is usually an individual’s right.”
“They do exist, but guild creation isn’t free. You have to get permission first. And even if you create one, it will eventually belong to Balder. King Curan’s family holds all the rights, and they are taking advantage of that.”
“Are you saying corruption is a daily occurrence here?”
The man crossed his arms in front of his chest and nodded.
“Yes. Therefore, the act of creating a guild in this country without any relation to them is akin to opposing King Curan and Balder’s guild. So, who else could accept Luella Rominin?”
Although it was suspicious, if what he said was true, then it was the right conclusion. In the game, not joining a guild had several disadvantages. If this place was the world inside the game, it would be the same situation.
Luella, crossing her arms just like the man, asked arrogantly.
“So, what do you want from me? You don’t seem like the type to help just because you’re burning with a sense of justice.”
“The condition for joining the guild is a vow to use your abilities for our guild.”
“My abilities?”
Luella clenched the jingling coins from her cloak pocket and took a step back.
“I have no money.”
“Didn’t you just say you had some?”
“That’s just enough to buy bread. It’s my entire fortune, isn’t it too conscienceless to covet it?”
At my protest, the corner of the man’s mouth rose.
“Don’t worry. There’s no membership fee. I asked you to dedicate using your abilities, not asking for money.”
“So it comes down to money. I thought you were asking for money since I don’t have abilities.”
The man tilted his head. He looked quite baffled at her words.
“No abilities?”
“Apparently that woman doesn’t know what her abilities are yet?”
Suddenly, a boy jumped out from behind and spoke.
Golden curly hair like Cupid, soft milk chocolatecolored eyes. He must be only 16, 17 years old? My mouth opened automatically at the sight of the cute yet handsome boy.
“Who is this?”
I had guessed that the man had companions since I saw shadows lurking and heard laughter, so I wasn’t too surprised.
“Are you from the same guild?”
When I sent a doubtful look, another man who had revealed himself with the boy spoke.
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.
