After drawing the dreamcatcher with one hand and holding mine with the other, Sicar stood up from his seat.
He told me to make it myself, so he would make it himself. All the while, I held Kian’s hand, waiting for him to wake up.
What kind of dream was he having to furrow his brow like that? Was he dreaming of losing his father again?
Despite Sicar bringing a beautifully made golden dreamcatcher, Kian did not wake up.
Kian was not in pain or anything like that. He just continued to sleep for an unknown reason.
“Is this kid dead?”
“…He’s alive. The protagonist won’t die that easily. He must have been very tired, so it’s better to let him sleep until he wakes up.”
Children usually look angelic when they sleep, but Kian looked tired even in his sleep.
‘Poor thing.’
Sicar, who had been looking down at Kian, scratched his chin and looked down at me.
“Then, until Kian wakes up, learn how to run the house. From now on, you’re the lady of this place, so you should learn how to manage the servants. You don’t know anything, do you?”
Hmm. I felt confident about that. I only had experience dealing with children from birth, but since Sicar said he hired servants based on their character, I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to manage them.
And no matter how nominally I sat there, externally, I was the lady of the Blake Duke’s residence, so I should act accordingly.
“Okay. I’ll start learning how to manage the servants from today.”
“Before that, first, you should formally meet Bika. I don’t know if you saw the gloomy guy standing in one corner during the wedding, but that’s Bika. I’m sure you know a lot about him without me explaining, but we still need to greet each other.”
Ah, Bika Lamburst! Owing his life to Sicar and bound by a life pledge to him, he lived helplessly captured by Sicar. Although he was over 140 years old, he was a young and beautiful Dark Elf hybrid, closely resembling a human except for his white hair and dark skin.
Upon acquiring the life pledge, Sicar, in his quest to find a spirit sorcerer to lift his curse, found Bika entangled in a web in a giant spider’s nest.
Sicar, bound in a spider web, asked Bika about the whereabouts of the fire spirit sorcerer. Bika promised to find the sorcerer in exchange for his freedom, and Sicar bound Bika with a life pledge to find the sorcerer who would remove his curse.
The life pledge could never be broken until Sicar’s curse was lifted. So Bika, unfortunately, became one of the villains who lost his life to the protagonist, Kian, on his journey to lift Sicar’s curse.
Bika’s death, due to the life pledge, inflicted great mental damage on Sicar, weakening his powers.
Although Bika lost his life to the protagonist Kian, he was a very charismatic character, so I was half fearful, half excited about meeting him.
“Where is she?”
As soon as I asked the question, Bika’s voice came from behind me.
“I’m here. Ma’am.”
It was a deep and quite attractive voice, husky yet resonant. Turning my head, I saw Bika leaning against a wall with his arms crossed.
The long white hair that came down to his waist and his dark, burntlooking skin looked even more mysterious than the description in the novel.
“Introduce yourself properly, Bika.”
Bika laughed and bit into a lemon in his hand as if it was bothersome.
“I think you already know everything about me, so what should I introduce?”
Had she heard everything? As a dark elf, Bica had exceptionally sharp ears. However, she didn’t trust Sicar and had never secretly eavesdropped on him.
Sicar also seemed surprised for a moment, making an incredulous face before slapping his forehead.
“Bica. Your eavesdropping habit has gotten really bad. Didn’t I tell you that I’d cut off your ears if you continued listening to my conversations?”
“Do as you please. Even if you cut off my ears, it won’t affect my hearing. The organs responsible for hearing are inside the ears.”
Bica, who truly wouldn’t have cared if her ears were cut off, made Sicar lose the will to do so. His face was expressionless.
“Why did you do something you’ve never done before? You’ve never had a hobby of eavesdropping on my conversations, have you?”
Bica, appearing nonchalant, scratched her philtrum and raised her eyebrows.
“Your recent actions are just too strange. You suddenly marry a woman you’ve just met, don’t you pick up a child? I thought you might have gone mad. So, I thought, if you’ve gone mad anyway, why not break this vow as well?”
“How much did you hear?”
“Various things? Like you viewing other people’s memories, and that child trying to kill you? But, what’s weirder is that all of this is in the memories of that woman. No, that lady.”
Fortunately, she didn’t seem to have heard that this place was a novel?
“Does the lady see the future?”
Sicar seemed to think it was fortunate too. He slightly smirked, looking satisfied.
“You could say that.”
“The lady loves you, and so you married the lady who sees the future?”
Ah, no. I wish she wouldn’t misunderstand like that.
“She does love me a lot. She cried when I died.”
Sicar spoke boastfully, as if there was someone who would cry for me when I died, and Bica responded with an extremely surprised expression.
“Really? It seems the lady really loves you a lot.”
‘No, normally, even if someone doesn’t love someone a lot, they could shed tears when that person dies, you villains.’
There’s no way she could understand since she has never shed tears when someone died.
Feeling like the two of them were turning me into a woman who would risk her life to love Sicar, I lightly interjected in their conversation.
“Since Bica has already heard all of our stories, should we end the introduction?”
“Let’s consider it that way, my lady.”
“Excuse me, but Bica?”
“Speak.”
“Let’s add another condition to the vow with Sicar.”
Bica sneered as if to ask what I was talking about.
“What condition do you want to add?”
“From now on, whenever you eavesdrop on our conversations, Bica will take on the pain of the curse that Sicar would receive.”
I had no choice but to set this condition because it would be quite difficult to let Bica continue eavesdropping on our conversations.
Bica made an expression that she couldn’t believe that I, who had just barely become a lady, could set such a condition.
She stared at Sicar as if to ask if this made sense, but Sicar only lifted one corner of his mouth as if he found it amusing.
“Do you now understand a little bit why I married this woman? It wasn’t just because she could see the future.”
Are you saying that I, as a human being, have this bold side? So, you’re praising me now, right?
Eavesdropping was clearly a mistake, so Bica couldn’t refuse the condition.
With no choice, she accepted the condition prohibiting eavesdropping, and then looked at me with a sour expression.
“Are you satisfied now, Lady Blake?”
She seems to be quite upset. But it’s better aesthetically than having your ears cut off, right?
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.
