Sion looked at her with a pathetic expression and sighed.
Then, for a moment, he raised his eyes above the pupils.
“Do you know how angry I was because of your foolish actions?”
Elina twisted her eyebrows at the voice gritting through clenched teeth.
“What are you talking about?”
Looking at the woman who seemed to have no idea, he clenched his fists.
“The incident with Lamein during the hunting competition. Do you think I wouldn’t know that it was your scheme?”
“Ah, what am I saying again.”
Elina smirked.
“You did the right thing.”
“Yes, I did.”
Elina replied very lightly.
Bang.
At that moment, Sion struck the carriage wall with his fist.
Looking at Elina with wide eyes, Sion slowly moved his lips that had been tightly closed.
“If Lamane’s true identity had been exposed that day, both I and my father would not have escaped death.”
The moment Lamane’s identity was exposed, everything about how she had been used in the war was revealed. As if recalling that moment, Sion’s complexion turned pale.
Elina blinked her eyes slowly.
“Why on earth would you do such a foolish thing?”
“That’s why I should have done it properly.”
“…What?”
“Acting like you would do anything to eliminate Lamane, but you haven’t done a single thing properly.”
In a voice full of disdain, Sion twisted his expression with suppressed anger.
“I never planned to do such a thing from the beginning.”
“…”
“Trying to turn the blame around, drowning her, and even making her drink poison. Everything passed as if nothing happened.”
“Poison?”
Sion slowly scanned the face of the woman sitting in front of him.
“Why are people like you hugging that woman so tightly? I just can’t understand it.”
“…”
“You’re really an amazing woman.”
Elina glared at Sion, feeling the chilling gaze in her eyes.
“Hating Lamane so much is truly fascinating. Even if I were to consider it, there’s no connection between us.”
The coldness spread in Elina’s eyes as she stared at him.
“No connection at all? That woman, who came from nowhere, ruined my life.”
“I don’t find it difficult to understand.”
“I don’t need your understanding. I just don’t want someone to take away what I’ve barely gained.”
Elina clenched her fist placed on her knee.
“How I endured those hellish days when I wanted to escape every day.”
Gerald, the Duke, was acknowledged by others – a man possessing both wealth and ability. But in reality, he was a tyrant husband and father, subjecting his wife and daughter to daily violence. No one knew his hidden true colors except for Elina and her mother. One day, amidst enduring the violence while pretending to be happy in front of others, news arrived that her father had died on the battlefield. The joy of finally being able to live happily was short-lived, as the sky also took her mother away. Left alone in the world as if waiting for this moment, the relatives who suddenly appeared took away all her property and disappeared. The world she was left with seemed pitch dark with no sign of what lay ahead.
In front of her, the Duke and Duchess Roger appeared. They held her hand with their large and warm hands, embracing her with their broad chests. She vowed to tightly grasp the love and happiness she had never felt before, thinking that she would never let go.
“I will never let anyone take away what’s mine.”
In a voice that seemed to be heard or not, Sion twisted his eyes.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Elina looked at Sion with a mocking gaze.
“I’ll say it again; it’s none of my concern whether you understand or not.”
“…”
“But remember one thing for sure.”
Elina, who was staring straight at the man who seemed disinterested, slowly opened her mouth.
“I have no intention of sharing what’s mine with anyone. If someone tries to take away what’s not enough for me alone, I’ll stop them even if I have to kill.”
Sion, who was looking at Elina’s lively eyes, smirked.
“Indeed, you’re a crazy woman.”
“…What did you say?”
“I mean it’s an aspect that I find interesting. As long as Lamane is gone, I don’t care who you are.”
Elina’s expression wrinkled.
“The person who said he would eliminate her hasn’t done anything properly so far.”
“At first, I didn’t intend to kill her.”
“…What?”
“I just wanted to bring her to my side and treat her as I had been doing.”
Sion’s lips, filled with a lazy smile, twisted.
“But now that I’ve discovered something I didn’t know, I think I need to kill her.”
“…?”
“If my pretty plaything stabs me in the neck, it won’t be good.”
Thinking about Lamane, who held her neck and stared at her with a lively gaze, a chill ran down Elina’s body.
Elina, who had been looking at Sion intently, slowly opened her mouth.
“There’s a party tomorrow at the mansion of Duke Rosette, located on the Saharina lakeside.”
“Yes, I know. I’ve been invited too.”
“Lamane will go there. Cedric can’t go due to his injuries, as you know.”
Sion elongated his lips with an interesting look.
“Conveniently by the lakeside. It’s a very nice place.”
“Don’t get excited for no reason and handle it properly this time.”
Elina opened her eyes wide and warned.
Sion, who was looking at her inappropriately, opened his mouth.
“I have one curious question. If you marry Kilian, you can have everything. Why are you so obsessed with Cedric, who already has a wife?”
Elina, who was staring at him as if frozen, formed a faint smile on her lips.
“I have no interest in titles like a duke, and I don’t need a man who’s captivated by other women.”
“Kilian seems to have cheated on you.”
“How pathetic.”
“Well, maybe I know your true colors.”
“Even if you do, it doesn’t matter. I chose Cedric because he’s the one who can give me what I want.”
A sinister smile spread over Elina’s face.
“To obtain that, Lamane must be eliminated without a doubt.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I need a man who will look at me and love only me for the rest of my life. I want true love.”
“What does that have to do with Cedric?”
Sion, with an expression of not understanding, blinked.
“The current situation of Cedric suits me perfectly.”
“…”
“People tend to open their hearts to those who are by their side when they are struggling.”
Her eyes, showing an unsettling obsession with love, became intense.
“How would the heart of a man who lost his wife and fell into sorrow be? He would want to lean on someone, anyone.”
“…”
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.
