Vista, the heart of the Empire, commonly known as Felena.
If you were to ask any outsider which family owns the most magnificent mansion in Felena, everyone would mention the name of a different clan.
However, if someone were to ask which street the most splendid mansion is located on, the answer would be singular.
The Royce Street.
A grand mansion on Royce Street was currently presenting a rare spectacle.
Under the tiled roof, majestic yet delicate pillars extended, decorating the facade. The mansion, with its rose vine pattern engraved in the center and steel fences resembling blade edges placed at the top, was a quite noticeable presence in the vicinity.
The steel fence, adorned with rose vine patterns in the center and blade-shaped motifs at the top, extended endlessly, requiring considerable effort just to walk around the so-called “street” spoken of by commoners, and there were dozens more streets for nobles beyond that.
One of the mansions on Royce Street was in the midst of providing a rare spectacle today.
To enter the mansion, one had to pass through the main gate and then ride a carriage for a while.
Ten sedan chairs were lined up in the front yard—a supplementary parade ground used by noble families—stretching out as much as the distance they had to cover.
As the front yard ended and the living area of the mansion’s residents began, several sedan chairs were placed so that they could rotate around a large fountain, pouring crystal-clear waterdrops like glass beads.
And the front yard was adorned with delicate sculptures to the extent that ordinary people would mistakenly believe they were inhabited, even being landscaped to allow strolling in the winter.
The reason it was called the front yard was that there was also a backyard.
In fact, the backyard of this grand mansion was larger than the front yard.
As a grand aristocrat living in Royce Street, they already occupied a considerable amount of land, even when staying on their own territory outside the social season.
Already an impressive third of the front yard of the mansion was covered by baggage carts today. Dozens of servants, seemingly brought by all the people working in the mansion, were also the same.
“More! Faster!”
“Stack them well so they won’t collapse!”
They carried and carried and carried countless boxes.
Standing in front of the fountain, directing them was a woman, and by her side was a little girl. The girl had just turned twelve a few months ago, but her appearance was so youthful that many people mistook her for being even younger.
With dazzling silver hair braided with jewel chains and sky-blue eyes illuminating her face, the girl had a pleasant smile on her face.
Though her laughter was beautiful due to her charming and lovely face, the servants couldn’t even dare to look at her smile.
The silver-haired girl, Valentin Ellandria, was a strict mistress to the servants.
“Delma, did you include my red dress? The one embroidered with rose patterns.”
“Yes, miss. I’ve included everything you like.”
The woman in her forties, who shouted where each box should go with her thin face, turned into a broad smile at Valentin’s question.
With Delma’s warm response, Valentin nodded arrogantly and contentedly.
“That’s right. As my brother said, there’s no proper dressing room, right? It’s absurd that I can’t bring Madame Puie with me, isn’t it?”
Valentin’s words sounded like complaints, but if you listened closely, there was an undeniable excitement in her voice. Delma nodded her head several times.
Madame Puie was the owner of the dressing room frequented by the Ellandria family, and she was receiving Valentin’s favor.
“That’s true, miss. But during the break, you can meet Madame Puie again.”
“I have to wait too long; it’s strange!”
Valentin grumbled again. At that moment, her brother Nellucian came out to the front yard. He was accompanied by his serious-faced retainer knight, Joseph.
Standing side by side, the silver hair and sky-blue eyes of the two siblings looked even more alike.
“Valen, didn’t I tell you yesterday? All of that won’t fit in the dormitory.”
“Just move to a bigger house!”
“There is no such dormitory. It’s not necessary either. Why put so much stuff when you just need to bring what you need for studying at school?”
Nellucian’s dormitory in Carten was, of course, a splendid mansion like those of other high-ranking noble students.
However, the scale of the various odds and ends Valentin was squeezing into a dozen or so carriages now wasn’t that large.
“This is the dignity of a duke’s daughter!”
Valentin said, pretending to have valuable information. In fact, most of what she knew how to say was of that nature.
Joseph secretly laughed at her cuteness, and Delma looked at her as if she were the most precious thing in the world.
“How splendid you are at being aware of your status at such a young age.”
“Don’t tease, Delma. Valen, I clearly told you. It’s not allowed.”
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.
