However, since I felt sincerity from Sesil, I could accept the scolding. Instead, I spoke soothingly to Sesil, as if calming a child.
“But Sesil, it’s also my duty to embrace such people. That’s how I can become a respected queen.”
“Lady Marian.”
Sesil seemed touched by my character and narrowed her eyes. Then, she clenched her fists again, gathering her determination.
“Lady Marian, you are such a wonderful person, yet dealing with foolish people. I will personally! Take care of those who dare to criticize Lady Marian.”
“What? Sesil? Wait a moment!”
Without giving me a chance to stop her, Sesil disappeared again. Evelyn, who had been watching our fuss from start to finish while sitting on the sofa, chuckled and said,
“She’s completely devoted.”
“Yeah. Totally devoted.”
Certainly, when I first met Sesil, she didn’t have such an image. I propped my chin and pursed my lips. Dealing with others is truly troublesome.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Because I can influence someone and be influenced by someone.
Listening to my concerns, Evelyn smiled and elegantly lifted her teacup.
“In such cases, you should think about what you did right.”
Since it doesn’t seem like a particularly positive influence, that’s probably it. Stretching my arms again, I yawned and replied,
“I’m worried because Sesil seems overly enthusiastic.”
“Her energy will run out soon.”
“Why?”
Putting down the empty teacup neatly, Evelyn answered.
“Physical fatigue is inevitable.”
“…A very realistic reason.”
Evelyn’s answer was simple but direct. Considering the number of documents pouring into my palace, it made sense.
‘Right. I’m already this busy, and as time goes on, I’ll only get busier.’
I am, after all, just a substitute for the queen. But at this rate, I might become a real queen in no time.
‘Ugh! Horrible! The image of being overwhelmed by work is coming to mind so casually.’
It seems that I spent too much time on the battlefield. Feeling uncomfortable just sitting here holding a pen.
Twiddling my fingers, I glanced subtly at Evelyn.
“I think we need to appoint more aides…”
Rising from her seat, Evelyn smiled refreshingly.
“I’ll be returning to Nerris next week.”
“Evelyn!”
No, next week? Isn’t that too urgent? I got up from my seat instinctively to stop her, but I had to put my hand down again at her following words.
“I can’t leave my territory empty for too long. I also need to take care of the master’s grave.”
Yulnesia. The link that connects me and Evelyn.
Seeing the name of my friend who suffered until the end, I couldn’t bring myself to stop Evelyn. After all, besides me, she’s the only one who remembers her.
Still, with no way to hide my hurt feelings, I pouted and grumbled.
“That’s mean. If you say that, I can’t hold back anymore.”
“I’ll come to play often.”
“One month out of three, you have to stay in the capital.”
“That’s too much.”
“What.”
It seemed like no matter what I said, they would listen.
With a dissatisfied expression, I, and Evelyn, who met my gaze, whispered in a low voice.
“Rather than that…”
On that night, Hadel came.
“Hadel?”
At first, I thought it was a dream. Because it was so dark, even Hadel’s black hair seemed to blend into the darkness.
“Ah…”
If Hadel hadn’t let out an awkward groan, I would still have thought it was a dream. However, the faint groaning sound ringing in my ears made me involuntarily open my eyes.
“Is it really Hadel?”
Afraid he might run away, I reached out my hand and grabbed a piece of Hadel’s clothes. Hadel hesitated for a moment but soon laughed with the low voice I liked.
“I was sleeping too comfortably. I was going to leave after just seeing you sleep…”
“Then that’s not allowed!”
After pushing aside Aspen and seeing Hadel in person for the first time, I got up from the bed in a flash.
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.
