“Lord, were you thinking about Lady Brellope a while ago?”
At the piercing remark, Askan momentarily couldn’t offer any response.
Whether Carlton had already obtained the answer from his appearance or not, he didn’t wait for Askan to say anything and opened his mouth again.
“The two of you look well together.”
“…What?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you like this, Lord. It looks very good on you. If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know. Many members of the Guard are cheering for you, and I wanted to share that fact.”
Askan felt a heated sensation in his head.
He hadn’t expected someone to find out about these feelings. Moreover, he never anticipated receiving unexpected support.
Choosing his words for a moment, Askan responded in a subdued voice.
“…Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“So, Lord, I bought a recommended book that might be helpful for us.”
Carlton thought there was something hidden behind him, but he never expected it to be a book.
The book he cautiously presented had the title, “11 Ways to Capture a Woman’s Heart.”
The fact that Askan had no interest in women had been widely known within the Guard. Some Guard members, secretly wanting to help Askan in his newfound romantic endeavors with Tanasia, had prepared this in advance.
Carlton was the one who brought this book as their representative.
Askan silently touched his forehead. It was a complicated feeling of gratitude and embarrassment at the Guard members’ hearts.
“…Did it show that much?”
In response to Askan’s question, Carlton immediately nodded vigorously.
“We all noticed it ever since we came to the Kallua Empire together. It’s not like you’ve ever shown such concern for anyone.”
Askan had claimed to treat everyone in a businesslike manner, but it seemed different in the eyes of others.
Since when was it?
Was it the day when they were attacked by remnants of the Sun Emperor, and Tanasia appeared with a bomb?
Or perhaps when he took an arrow meant for her, and she injured her ankle in the process. That injury had been bothering him.
No, it was from the very beginning, when he first saw Tanasia.
Something felt different when their blue eyes met.
Although he tried to ignore it, it was already special from their first encounter.
Askan chuckled without realizing it. It was amusing that everyone around noticed, even though the person involved remained oblivious.
“Alright, I got it. Just leave.”
“Yes, Commander.”
As Carlton bowed and was about to leave the room, he suddenly stopped.
“Oh, Commander. A little while ago, Lady Brellope’s maid secretly received a letter…”
Askan already knew about it.
He was curious about Tanasia’s letter, but he pretended not to know.
She was the eldest daughter of the Brellope family and the continent’s top weaponsmith. It was natural for information to come from various places.
“I saw her hiring a carriage from outside. It seems Lady Brellope is secretly preparing to go out. I thought the Commander should know.”
A dark light gleamed in Askan’s eyes.
He hadn’t heard about Tanasia going out. He had asked her to inform him when she moved because she had been targeted by the Manoco family in the past.
However, she didn’t tell him anything, and he had no idea where she was going.
Askan’s face stiffened. It was the expression of a possessive young man.
It felt like he was dreaming.
He couldn’t shake off the floating feeling after sharing a deep kiss with Askan all day.
Come to think of it, despite being in his second life, he had very little experience with love.
In my previous life, I was too busy with survival to meet men, and in this life, I couldn’t forget Askan’s confession from my childhood.
Since meeting a man like the final boss from the beginning, it seemed like other men didn’t catch my eye.
‘A bit guilty, isn’t it?’
Even if he lost his memory, I hadn’t.
Although Askan was a boy back then, remembering his appearance made me feel a bit like I had raised and devoured a younger man.
‘But…’
How could that be a younger man?
He was a beastly man.
Even when I tried to step back because I was out of breath, Askan wouldn’t let me go.
It was an intense deep kiss, pushing and pushing.
The hot breath, the firm embrace, and the strong arms that wrapped around me came to mind one by one.
There was no trace of the boy he used to be; instead, he now looked like a striking adult man, dangerously sexy.
‘Ah, I’m going crazy.’
Once again, I collapsed onto the bed, recalling that moment. My face turned red on its own.
In the midst of learning theft late, Askan kept circulating in my mind, and I didn’t know what to do.
That was when the door opened, and Jelin entered the room.
Immediately noticing me lying on the bed again, Jelin couldn’t hold back and spoke.
“Miss, did I just help you up, and you’re lying down again?”
“Unless it’s something important, leave me alone today.”
Jelin smiled as if to say she couldn’t help it, given my mood. But soon, she opened her mouth again, shaking a red paper in her hand.
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.
