After meticulously disguising herself, Luella saw Hazen peering outside through the corridor window, just like Mitchel had done earlier.
“What’s going on? The number of people watching has increased, hasn’t it?”
“Is it okay to leave the mansion empty for two days? I’m worried.”
As Luella descended the stairs with Hazen, she asked.
“It’s fine because we have our servants. They’re not gifted, but they’re quite skilled in swordsmanship, so security shouldn’t be an issue.”
“Have they found the carriage we used when we went monster hunting?”
“Yes, Pano went to get it. It wasn’t far, so he returned quickly.”
Rafael, who had been waiting in the hall, approached them and spoke.
“Let’s go. Mitchel will drive the carriage. We should stop by at Xenon’s on the way and tell him to bring his family over after we return.”
Luella nodded her head. It seemed best for Xenon’s family, who were Kuran, to enter only when they could definitely be protected.
“Make sure to tell them to rest as well.”
“Yes, there’s no point in guarding the front gate if we’re not inside.”
Upon completing his words, Rafael looked at Luella’s attire and advised.
“You’d better take off the hood of your cloak. It would be troublesome if someone started investigating whether you are Luella Rominin. Yes, that’s good. You look just like a young boy. Now, let’s go.”
As they left the front door, Mitchel was seated in the driver’s seat.
“It’s an open carriage.”
“It’s fortunate that it’s summer. I deliberately chose this Lando carriage among several others to show that no one is hiding inside.”
“I’ll sit in the front.”
As Tien climbed into the front seat, Rafael looked back at Luella.
“Sit next to Tien. You’ll be hidden from view between the driver’s seat and the back seat. If one isn’t looking from the side, it won’t be noticeable. From a passing glance, it will just look like two boys are seated.”
Luella nodded and sat next to Tien.
Even with the disguise, her heart trembled in fear of being discovered.
Before leaving, Hazen instructed his servant who had come to meet him.
“They’ve likely seen us leave, so they won’t try to come in. Nonetheless, make sure to lock up tightly.”
“Yes, please return safely.”
The carriage set off. Hans, Rafael’s servant who had come with them, got off the carriage and opened the iron gate. After confirming that he locked the gate behind the passing carriage, they set off for the main road, whereupon one of the crowd approached.
“Where are you going?”
Someone blocked the carriage and asked. Upon seeing the emblem embroidered on the cloak, it was the same as what she had seen at Balder’s mansion earlier.
The carriage Luella was riding in had four seats facing forward, not counting the driver’s seat.
The man, who seemed to be Balder’s subordinate, peeked inside the uncovered carriage without much verification and was only interested in the destination.
“We are going to the Orwol Kingdom.”
At Mitchel’s response, the subordinate’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“Why there?”
Mitchel let out a sigh of displeasure but had no choice but to endure.
“Since we’re only known as serving the Duke of Perrymont, and as Balder and the watchmen were excessively arrogant, we can’t reveal our true identities, like how Kite uses Elrab’s subterfuge.”
“We have a scheduled meeting with the kingdom’s authorities about food imports.”
“And you’re leaving at this time of night?”
“What’s it to you? Luella Rominin left without saying anything. We’ve waited this long and now we think it’s best to depart.”
“So, you’re not going out after receiving contact from Luella Rominin?”
Mitchel chuckled.
“If you’ve been watching us the whole time, you’d know. Have you seen anyone else enter our mansion today, aside from the guards?”
“No one, except the guards.”
“That’s because your guards, after being thrashed, couldn’t properly stand watch! If no one has entered our mansion, what contact could we possibly have received!”
Mitchel exhaled, visibly annoyed, but had no choice but to put up with it.
Unable to contain his anger, Michel stepped back slightly, raising both arms as if to calm Balder’s retainer.
“Understood. Go ahead. It seems Luella Rominin is giving you trouble as well.”
Trying to offer comfort, Balder’s retainer received a scornful look from Michel, who then set the carriage in motion.
Up until then, Luella had been unable to breathe properly, finally letting go of her tension.
“What on earth are they thinking? They’re blatantly plotting something.”
Seeing more people gathered than she’d expected, she paused, suspecting they might forcefully break into the Ferroz residence.
“They gave us an excuse. They came to meet us and left without talking, so we have to listen. They’ll probably drag us there, even if it’s by force.”
Tien had no counterargument. Luella feigned looking around the dark surroundings where she couldn’t see anything and asked,
“But what about our meals? Can we buy food?”
“Restaurants have long since disappeared in Curan. Even tea houses only sell different kinds of tea, no dessert.”
“Even at the inn?”
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.
