Those who had witnessed their interaction were uncomfortably aware of their surroundings.
Before them, the Prince and the Princess of Ronica were engrossed in a love dispute.
And it seemed that they themselves were the cause.
They quickly exchanged glances.
Finally, Mia of the Jueberk family, who lost in this game of glances, clenched her eyes and stepped forward.
“Um, Princess!”
At the sudden voice, Velia turned her head.
“You don’t have to worry about us!”
Mia shouted, implicitly saying, ‘So the two of you can enjoy your time together.’
However, Velia didn’t want to send them off after the hardships they’d gone through all day. So she decided to convince Khaled to leave.
“Would you mind going to the reception room first?”
Velia asked the maid to guide them.
“Uh. It’s just…”
“I just feel bad about sending you away. I’ll follow shortly.”
Unable to decline Velia’s request, the girls rolled their eyes and followed the maid to the reception room.
“Khaled.”
After confirming that they were out of sight, Velia softly called Khaled.
“…Are you going to leave me alone?”
Khaled asked sarcastically.
“Leave you alone?”
“What would you do if your hunting dog, exhausted by its owner’s neglect, cuts its leash and runs away?”
Caught off guard by his comment, Velia looked around nervously.
Fortunately, no one was there.
“What if someone hears you say such a thing!”
Velia cautioned him, but Khaled instead looked at her surprised reaction with an amused expression.
“Hm? Shouldn’t you be holding my leash tight?”
Velia was vexed by his expression and retorted.
“That hunting dog has been domesticated for a long time; it doesn’t need a leash.”
“Is that so?”
Khaled advanced towards Velia with dangerous eyes.
Velia did not dodge but met Khaled’s eyes squarely.
Seeing her, Khaled suddenly broke into a smile.
Just as Velia was about to speak, puzzled.
“Eh!”
Suddenly, Khaled kissed Velia.
Aware that they were in the hallway, Velia tapped on his shoulder, but Khaled only held her tighter. It had been a long time since their lips met.
‘The young ones must be waiting in the reception room…’
Initially, she was determined to send him away.
However, when their lips met, she found it impossible to push him away. Velia eventually closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck.
(This is a time marker.)
“Have you waited long?”
By the time Velia hurried to the reception room after sending Khaled away, more time had passed than expected.
“I’m really sorry for being so late.”
She apologized sincerely, and everyone smiled, saying it was okay.
They even seemed to be happily conversing.
Feeling somewhat relieved, Velia took her seat and looked at the table.
The attentive maids had apparently prepared tea and snacks.
“It’s okay. It seemed you and His Highness, the second Prince, get along very well, and it was nice to see.”
Rachel smiled as she spoke.
“It rather felt like we were the ones interrupting your time…”
“No, that’s not it!”
Velia quickly denied her statement.
However, everyone there couldn’t forget the look Khaled gave them.
It was a look full of meaning, as if saying, ‘Don’t interfere, just leave.’
“I’ve never seen the second Prince make that face before. Hehe.”
Rachel covered her mouth and chuckled.
Velia unknowingly flushed and pouted her lips.
“…I’m really embarrassed, I can’t even look you in the eye.”
Velia was truly embarrassed.
Because she felt like her genuinely private self had been exposed.
And as they all saw Velia’s reaction, they had the same thought.
‘So cute.’
Delicate and slender, Velia emanated a different aura as her cheeks flushed.
Certainly, Prince Khaled was utterly captivated by this aspect of Velia.
He had undoubtedly gone to great lengths to monopolize this appearance of hers.
Rachel wanted to befriend Velia.
She had accidentally seen Velia caring for children in the orphanage.
‘She is truly a good person.’
The first time she saw Velia smiling while attending to even the marginalized children, she knew that Velia genuinely adored them.
Rachel did not like hypocritical people.
Though many considered her naive due to growing up solely loved, she could easily discern insincerity, having received so much genuine love.
‘Princess Velia knows how to cherish people.’
A virtue rarely found among the nobles of the empire.
Ever since she discovered Velia at the orphanage, she had been consistently observing her and had unwittingly grown fond of her.
Now it was time to make a decision.
“Your Highness.”
“Yes?”
Velia, who was vigorously fanning her heated face, looked at Rachel.
“I want to be closer to you, Your Highness.”
“Yes?”
Normally, speaking like this would be a major impropriety.
But Rachel was certain; this would resonate more with Velia.
“I want to be your friend.”
“Yes?”
Velia’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Can we be friends?”
Rachel smiled brightly as she said this.
(This is a time separator.)
Velia’s heart thumped rapidly.
Though lying in bed, she felt buoyant.
‘Friend…’
She had never heard the term ‘friend’ before.
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.
