Although neither Tendai nor Andro had seen Askan’s escape firsthand, they had heard many stories.
They said Askan’s body was not only immune to sword wounds and arrows but also controlled an unquenchable flame at will. It was as if a demon had come up from hell.
All that was left in his wake was ash, and there were very few survivors.
“What’s the use of having monsterlike abilities? This alone will make them powerless.”
Andro discreetly showed a glass bottle he had kept in his pocket. The purple liquid inside exuded a mysterious aura at a glance.
“Is that the sedative I’ve heard rumors about?”
“Yes. With just this, the subjects can’t gather their strength.”
Andro gave a sinister smile as he shared his thoughts.
“After all, we just need to keep No. 13 alive. Even if he loses an arm or a leg, it doesn’t hinder the experiment.”
Tendai made no reply. There wasn’t anything incorrect in what was said.
Their goal was to find Askan by any means and take him away. There were no stipulations that his body had to be intact.
“Ah! Do you know why No. 13 suddenly escaped?”
At Andro’s question, Tendai slowly shook his head.
“How can we know what the subjects are thinking? I guess he just didn’t like it there.”
Nobody would want a life of being experimented upon. So no one bothered to find out why Askan had escaped.
Andro regretfully resumed speaking.
“If there was a reason he escaped, we could adjust our search accordingly.”
“Don’t waste your thoughts, let’s move to the next location.”
As soon as Tendai spoke, he set off a flare he had been holding.
Phew─!
A cloud of white smoke shot up towards the sky in an instant.
If Askan was not found, a white flare would be launched, and if Askan was found, a red flare was the rule.
Soon, in addition to the flare that Tendai had launched, a white flare was seen shooting up from a distance.
Of course, Tendai and Andro were not the only ones pursuing Askan. Dozens of experts were silently moving.
As such, when white flares indicating that Askan had not been found started going up from other locations, Andro joked.
“Are we going all the way to the capital of the Arwen Empire at this rate?”
At his words, Tendai glanced in the direction of the capital and responded.
“It doesn’t matter where he’s hiding. It might take a bit more time, but we will definitely find him.”
“Kekeke.”
Andro laughed as if amused.
Just like that, the two of them disappeared in an instant.
There was no trace left that Tendai and Andro had been in a village of the Arwen Empire.
[This is the time separator]“Askan─!”
Askan, who had been walking on the road, turned his head at the sound of his name being called.
Askan, who Tendai, Andro, and many pursuers were searching for, was hiding in an unexpected place and under an unexpected identity.
Specifically, he was serving as a servant in the house of the Brelloff Duke, a prominent noble family of the Arwen Empire.
This was why he couldn’t easily run away even after his identity was discovered by Tanashia.
The person calling him was Rella, a maid from the Brelloff household. She was a woman in her mid30s with an 8yearold son.
“Sorry, but can you look after my son for a bit? I have something I need to do today, but this kid followed me here without considering his mom’s speed.”
Askan’s gaze naturally moved to Rella’s 8yearold son, who was clinging to her skirts.
He recognized the face, having seen the boy a few times as he passed by. The boy had come to the Brelloff mansion with Rella like this before.
“Rella! Rella!”
Just then, a voice could be heard from a distance calling for Rella.
In response to the sound, Rela seemed desperate, pushing her son toward Askan and said.
“Just a moment, please!”
“Ah, I am……”
Askan tried to refuse belatedly, but Rela had already moved far away.
In the meantime, Askan looked at the child who had clutched his skirt. An 8yearold boy with sparkling eyes was looking up at him.
“Brother?”
Just by hearing his lisp, one could tell how young he was.
Askan, with a momentarily embarrassed face, looked at the boy and asked.
“…What’s your name?”
“Me? Et.”
“Et?”
“No, EEt.”
It was difficult to understand the boy’s pronunciation clearly, but Askan could easily infer his name.
“Is your name Ed?”
“Yeah!”
When Askan got it right, Ed laughed heartily and nodded vigorously.
For a moment, the face of the boy Askan had met in the lab overlapped with Ed’s.
─Brother, brother, I’m No. 1890.
He didn’t know the exact name or age of that boy. All he knew was that he was called No. 1890.
It wasn’t that Askan had no reason to escape from the lab.
It’s just that no one was curious, and no one was trying to know.
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.
