Raoul pulled up the corners of his mouth slyly. His expression had clearly changed compared to before.
Looking at his face, which seemed to overlap with the one that had looked at her own death emotionlessly, Belia couldn’t stop her trembling body.
If she had a dagger in her hand right now, she would have stabbed it into his throat in an instant, so overwhelming was the anger that engulfed her like a tidal wave.
“Do you have the heart to talk to me now?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
But she couldn’t immediately reveal her cards.
Belia pretended not to know anything.
“I understand pretending not to know.”
Raoul laughed as if it were pitiful.
“You’ve seen the future before I have. So, you must have seized the gold and magic stone from me.”
No matter what Belia said to counter, Raoul was full of confidence in his words.
‘Raoul came back to the past like me…’
Belia couldn’t continue her words.
How could such a thing happen?
The day she went to the greenhouse with Erzhe, the Emperor showed no reaction when she saw Raoul.
Was all of that just an act?
“My empress seems quite surprised, so shall we postpone our conversation for next time? Huh, Belia?”
“…How, since when…”
She didn’t even know what she opened her mouth to ask.
It was just despairing to know that the Emperor of that time was in front of her now.
If Raoul also knew all the events of the future, everything Belia had prepared so far would be useless. Moreover, Khalid…
“I believe you won’t refuse my invitation. Only you and I share that time.”
“…You’re not the emperor. I’m not your empress either.”
When Belia spat out those words with a snarl, Raoul lightly shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, maybe not now.”
Raoul once again gently swept Belia’s cheek. Then, he tapped her cheek twice with his index finger.
A terrible feeling came over her body.
Why on earth did this happen?
When she knew that she had returned to the past, she wondered if others had experienced the same thing.
However, there was no sign of anyone showing such symptoms, and even Raoul repeated the same actions as in the past without knowing anything about the future.
She felt relieved. Belia even thought the moment she suspected him was absurd.
After all, Raoul, who didn’t show any reaction even when she left him, was believed to have no memories of his past life like herself.
“But you know, Belia. It won’t be long before it happens. Don’t you agree?”
“…Go away.”
“Hahaha. What a nice face you make. You’ve learned only bad things from Khalid.”
Raoul laughed as if he enjoyed it, stepping back from Belia. His steps were cheerful.
His carefree actions were only enough to ease Belia’s breath a little. As if he were giving a favor.
“You must have been surprised a lot today, so let’s postpone the conversation for next time. I’ll send someone to 2nd Prince Palace soon, so wait for it. There’s a lot you want to know from me, right?”
“…You despicable child.”
“Oh, your words have really become rough. But it’s not bad. It feels different.”
Looking at Belia’s face as she glared at him, Raoul, who smiled as usual, asked politely.
“Shall I take you to 2nd Prince Palace, Belia?”
Belia laughed bitterly.
“You don’t think I’ll allow that, do you?”
Since when did he become so affectionate?
“It’s hard to go back like this. Please don’t be so guarded; it’s just a favor.”
With each word he uttered, nausea welled up. Belia forcibly stood her legs, which felt weak, and pushed Raoul with all her strength. The distance between her and Raoul increased a bit.
Belia shot him a cold glance.
“Not needed.”
Then, she turned her back on him and started walking away.
“See you soon.”
Raoul’s voice, filled with laughter, reached her from behind. However, Belia moved forward without any reaction, as if she couldn’t hear anything.
Even a little, just to get away from him.
Returning to the 2nd Prince Palace, Belia sank down by the bed as if collapsing.
She continued to breathe laboriously, as if a person who had forgotten how to breathe. She had to exhale forcefully to barely let new air enter her body.
Khalid fell into Raoul’s trap.
He tried to harm her person even in this life.
‘Khalid…!’
Belia raised both hands to cover her face.
Although she believed he was alive, a sense of anxiety crept over her again.
If Raoul had openly set a trap, Khalid would have noticed and avoided it. However, this case was a bit different.
He inserted Khalid into that moment with future information, so there was no evidence. Naturally, Khalid couldn’t even prepare for it.
“You need to pull yourself together.”
Belia bit her lips out of habit.
Raoul was hoping for his own collapse.
So, she wouldn’t act as he wished.
“Vision, Capri Viscount Yeonga visited.”
Rachel arrived just in time.
Belia got up from her seat, tidied up her attire, and neatly combed her hair. Then, with an unaffected expression, she opened the door to greet Rachel.
Hoping that she brought hopeful news.
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.
