The gaze of the man who uttered the accurate name fell persistently.
Lamein, who had subtly raised her eyebrows, quickly composed her expression.
At this moment, surprise and tension were of no help.
“So, you’ve known who I am from the beginning.”
“Lady, you didn’t know who I was from the beginning.”
Marquis Haribo recalled the disappeared smile on his lips.
“It seems like it will be a long story. Since there’s something else I want to show you, would you come with me?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lamein nodded.
Marquis Haribo’s mansion.
Lamein, getting off the carriage, glanced slowly at the magnificent building.
“Countess Roger, this way, please.”
The butler approached and offered a polite voice.
“Madam, I’ll be waiting here.”
Lamein, who nodded toward Jane, followed Marquis Haribo into the mansion.
The familiar reception room’s door opened when entered.
“Please come in.”
Marquis Haribo, who was sitting on the sofa in the center of the reception room, stood up as they approached.
“Lady, come with me.”
Lamein, who had not taken a step inside the reception room, followed Marquis Haribo.
At the end of a long corridor, a large door directly in front of them.
‘What is in that room?’
It wasn’t clear what it could be.
“Countess Roger. I will escort you this way.”
The butler approached with a polite voice.
“Lady, I will be waiting here.”
Lamein, who nodded to Jane, followed Marquis Haribo as he stepped into the mansion.
The large door swung open with a creaking sound.
“Please enter.”
Marquis Haribo, who had stepped back, pointed inside the room with a palm-up hand, letting out a gentle voice.
She took a step into the room as her hand reached the place indicated.
Beautiful flowers in vases bathed in gentle sunlight by the window.
A canopy with delicate golden threads elegantly hung over the bed.
The room was beautifully decorated to the extent that anyone could tell it belonged to a woman.
As her eyes wandered around the room step by step, they came to a halt in one place.
At the same time, her steps stopped.
A large frame hanging on the emerald-painted wall.
In the frame, there was a portrait of a beautiful woman with dazzling blonde hair and a red eye.
‘Why does she look familiar?’
Lamein’s gaze on the woman inside the frame, who was being stared at in silence, intensified.
Ah… Lamein, who momentarily opened her mouth, quickly turned her head.
She engraved the face of the man standing silently in front of the door, watching her without saying a word, into her eyes.
‘Haah, haah. Zelda, no matter what happens, I have to stay alive. For you and Lily, this is the only thing I can do.’
Leaving behind the deaths of her family. Escaping with her younger sister in her arms on a dark and cruel night.
‘I must always be able to recognize you, so carry this bracelet on you at all times. Please, stay alive.’
The woman shedding tears sorrowfully on an old wooden boat.
‘I’m sorry, Zelda. I’m really sorry. Please start moving quickly.’
Without giving her time to ask what she was sorry about, she left as if fleeing.
The vanished woman who saved her frightened younger self and Lily.
“Lachnay Haribo.”
Marquis Haribo’s voice awakened Lamein, who was lost in memories of the past.
In the moment their eyes met, a brief silence pierced through the air.
A man with dark eyes that sank like the sun swallowed by the night spoke again.
“Lachnay Myers.”
“……. ”
“She is my mother.”
Ha… Lamein, who let out a short breath, closed her eyes slowly.
The tension she had been trying to hide burst, and her whole body shivered.
Countless thoughts tormented her as she came here.
If Marquis Haribo were to reveal her existence to the world, she might have to face a cruel reality.
If that’s the case, then I… If that’s the case, then you…
At the moment she recalled Cedric with a feeling of standing on the cliff, severe pain tore through her chest.
Lamein slowly opened her eyes.
Marquis Haribo, who was staring intently at Lamein, smiled faintly.
Since her injury, this was the first time he had a comfortable gaze.
“Now, do you understand what I’m saying?”
I am not someone who intends to harm the lady.
“Yes. I understand now.”
With a voice where vigilance seemed to soften, Marquis Haribo approached the table near the window.
And gestured towards the chair opposite him as if inviting her to sit.
Bright sunlight shone on the faces of the two sitting facing each other.
“My mother loved flowers very much.”
Marquis Haribo looked at the flowers in the vase as he spoke.
“While studying about flowers, she fell in love with my father.”
The man’s expression, shedding the memories of his parents’ younger days, was more peaceful than ever.
“To my father, she was a lovely wife. And to me and Lucia, she was a warm mother.”
The man, who let out a calm voice not different from his expression, swallowed his breath slowly.
“Mother often took me to visit the village where she used to live.”
“……. ”
“That’s where I first met the lady.”
“I don’t remember at all.”
Marquis Haribo nodded.
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.

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
