The opinions of the attendants were an indisputable fact.
Unconsciously, I found my jaw dropping and left the main palace.
Within a few minutes of stepping into the greenhouse, my miraculously heavy head became considerably lighter.
However, the weight of anxiety caused by the magic potion, of which only one bottle remained now, did not diminish.
As I walked slowly through the greenhouse, I repeatedly took deep breaths and exhaled.
I needed to visit the ‘Confident Night’ clinic as soon as possible…
Guests were arriving earlier than scheduled, and I had to hurry.
Moreover, once the schedule in the Laphion Empire, the starting point of this competition, was over, the hunting trail to the Pasha Empire in the Southern Continent would begin.
So, I needed to prepare at least the minimum amount of potion to consume during the duration of the continent hunting competition.
Since I couldn’t delegate the task of purchasing the magic potion to the attendants, I had to go myself, or…
“Empress.”
A familiar voice suddenly reached my ears.
Since it was the person I had just thought of, I was more surprised.
“How did the Duke…?”
“I heard a while ago from the Laphion attendants that there is a nice greenhouse in the palace. I thought of it and came to see.”
Duke Martins approached me, speaking while walking.
“Ah, I see.”
I nodded, thinking that it was a fortunate coincidence.
“Actually, I have something to discuss with the Duke.”
“Oh, did you understand each other so quickly, Empress?”
“What do you mean?”
“I also have something to tell Empress. In fact…”
The Duke leaned in and whispered to me.
“I was being followed.”
“Me?”
I asked, widening my eyes, and he continued,
“Yes. So, could you look around for a moment?”
Duke Martins glanced at the attendants around and spoke.
I issued an order for all attendants, including Sharon, to wait at the entrance of the greenhouse.
After the attendants withdrew, I walked slowly through the greenhouse with Duke Martins.
I brought up the matter first.
“Prince Tesla sneaked into my bedroom this morning.”
“…Really?!”
Seeing his surprised expression, it seemed that Prince Tesla hadn’t said anything to the Duke.
“This morning, Your Grace met with the prince to convey the news that the southern continent countries have moved their schedules forward.”
“Yes, I met him to report on that matter.”
“Did the prince not mention my story?”
“Not at all. What… happened?”
Duke Martins asked, examining my complexion.
“There is now only one magic potion left.”
I stated bluntly.
“Did the prince take the potion bottle by any chance? Ha.”
He shook his head as if he could tell without hearing more.
“He asked me to show trust in him. I was angry at the vile threat, but I had no choice. Unfortunately, at that time, Your Majesty visited the Imperial Palace, and…”
The scene where Prince Tesla, smiling slyly, took the magic potion bottle from my hand flashed before my eyes, making my throat feel tight.
“Yes. It wasn’t an appropriate situation to confront in the reception room or the Alhyun Room. Especially considering the relationship between Your Majesty and the prince.”
“Yes, and I was only wearing a bathrobe, which made the situation even worse.”
“Oh dear.”
Duke Martins squinted his eyes, silently biting his tongue.
“In the heat of the moment, with the feeling of ‘let it be as it may,’ I tried to endure it, and that’s when the prince brought up the topic of Bonice, threatening me.”
I said, clenching my fist.
“I… Empress.”
Duke Martins interrupted my words and stopped walking.
There was a look on his face as if he had something to say to me.
“Today, Prince Tesla sent a list to the Shatto O’Neil Kingdom, noting the items needed during the hunting competition, and… the name of that maid was on the list.”
“…What, what are you saying?”
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.
