“What do you think we should do?”
Already mentally prepared for it, my fingertips trembled at the thought that there might be a situation where I had to leave Lionel.
“Zelda, we can’t avoid this situation.”
“Then…”
“We have to fight. It would be most convenient to keep the fact that you’re the Substitute Empress hidden, but someone is already using that fact to blackmail us.”
“If Prince Tesla reveals the fact that he sent me as the Substitute Empress to the Rafion substitutes easily, won’t Princess Lesilia also have difficulty presenting herself as the remarried empress?”
“Hmm… If the prince can’t eventually push my younger sister into the empress’s position, what will you do with me?”
“Well, maybe just…”
“Kill you.”
His hand lightly brushed against my neck.
A creepy feeling came over me as I imagined Prince Tesla pointing a knife at my throat.
“First, you have to trust me.”
“I trust you.”
I responded without a moment’s hesitation.
“Do you have any plans… in your mind?”
“Well, for now, I don’t.”
“!”
I was surprised at his firm lack of a plan.
After our conversation in the lounge, we returned to the office.
The gazes of the three people waiting at the table were all focused on him and me.
Logi’s complexion, looking at me, seemed very dark, showing signs of my tear-stained face.
I tried to show a slight smile to Logi, but her worried eyes didn’t ease.
“I’m sorry to both of you, but I think we need to leave now. There are still things to discuss between the two of you, so let’s call you again later.”
With Lionel’s serious voice, Prince Norton and Logi nodded without daring to ask why.
He added that they should take some time to think about each other, and the expressions of the two were bewildered, as was mine.
But perhaps because the atmosphere in the office had somewhat settled, both of them readily agreed and stood up.
Prince Norton and Logi, who left the office, walked quietly down the hallway.
“It seems that the Empress has been upset. Will there be any problem?”
Logi, conscious of the attendants following her, asked Norton Prince in a lowered voice.
“If you two weren’t arguing, there shouldn’t be any problem. She should be fine.”
Although Prince Norton was caught by Tesla’s sly smile, he calmly reassured Logi, who was worried.
He noticed that the expressions of the empress and the prince wavered at the mention of ‘Bonis,’ especially Prince Tesla seemed to have a nasty grin, as if he had something against the empress.
“I was planning to look around the library while I’m at the main palace.”
When they reached the central staircase, Logi stopped walking.
“That way is the library.”
She pointed in the direction of the library with her finger.
“I understand.”
“Hey, Prince, do you want to go together?”
“…”
Even though we just met Her Majesty a little while ago, is she asking me out on a date? She’s a really bold woman.
Prince Norton slowly shook his head, rejecting Logi’s suggestion.
“I’m sorry, Mama. I have things to do at the auxiliary palace. See you then.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave too.”
Tch, I was about to ask a few questions about the ancient language of the Southern Continent.
Feeling a bit disappointed by Prince Norton’s swift rejection of her proposal, Logi turned away.
Observing Logi’s resolute steps toward the library, Prince Norton watched for a moment and then quickly descended the central staircase.
When he returned to the auxiliary palace and met Duke Martins to inquire about who Princess Bonis’ lady-in-waiting was.
“We’ll be going now. Hey, mighty wyvern, shake hands when the great Joseph greets you. Kids these days have no manners.”
Instead of shaking hands with Joseph, who blinked his eyes and only extended his hand for a handshake, Moiya playfully waved her small fist in front of Joseph’s eyes.
“Meow? (Oh my, he keeps doing that. How can he shake hands when he’s in the ice?)”
“Oh, right… That’s a good point. Cotton ball.”
Moiya praised Aozi while scratching his chin, then suddenly her expression stiffened.
“Oh? I smell Logi. Looks like Logi is coming towards the library! Why is she trying to come in here?”
Moiya turned her head toward the closed gray wall and urgently spoke to Aozi.
“Meow? (Is Princess Logi on a date with Prince Norton?)”
“A date? Then did Her Majesty decide to spare both of them?”
Moiya chuckled as she recalled the mischief she had done to Prince Norton when she turned into Logi last night.
Then, she scratched her chin and muttered seriously.
“Oh, did Logi come to do matchmaking with Prince Norton?”
“Meow? (Why would they do matchmaking in the library?)”
“Ugh, because the library is Logi’s favorite place.”
“Meow! (You’re really smart!)”
Impressed by Moiya’s absurd deduction, Aozi exclaimed with admiration.
“Let’s go see the matchmaking. But where did this little mosquito brat go? Oh, there it is, stuck there.”
Moiya found a mosquito on the gray wall that acted like a door and transformed back into her mosquito form.
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.
