As soon as she spoke, three men quickly lowered their eyes.
Mikaela, satisfied, arched her eyebrows and once again gestured to El.
Following the softly fluttering hand, El slowly lifted her foot.
“To see such courage in such a tiny body.”
Her stride as she crossed the large reception room didn’t seem half of the men in the house.
Mikaela, taking El’s hand as if it might break if she grabbed it wrong, held it very carefully.
“How can you be so cute and pretty? Huh?”
El didn’t know what was cute and pretty about her thin arms and hands. Inexperienced with this unfamiliarity, she was too busy being swayed to answer.
“El, would you like to sit here?”
Mikaela touched El’s nose, who couldn’t say anything and was just rolling her eyes, and tapped her thigh.
It was an unmistakable child’s treatment.
And rightly so, Mikaela was 220 years old this year.
Even if El was seventyseven, she was nothing more than a young child to Mikaela, who was over two hundred and had lived another twenty years.
Following her hand, El looked down and shook her head violently, as if struck by lightning.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
Mikaela drooped her eyebrows and pretended to be pitiful.
El was startled and nervously licked her lips.
It was so cute that Mikaela slapped her thigh and laughed heartily.
When she laughed, El, who had been staring with surprised eyes, finally laughed out loud.
Taking advantage of that moment, Mikaela pulled El and sat her on her leg.
El, who seemed slightly relaxed, had never sat on anyone’s lap before, so her body naturally stiffened.
Mikaela skillfully helped El find her posture and called Rielo.
“Rielo, come here and get ready.”
“Yes!”
Rielo, who had been unusually cautious today, quickly got up and stood in front of Mikaela and El.
Rielo smiled cheerfully, knelt on one knee to match El’s eye level, and said,
“Thanks to you, Rielo Adolf Mosteros’s life was saved.”
Although Rielo was a child who could jump anywhere, he did his job properly when he had to.
However, for El, the matching of the furry ball from earlier and the being in front of her now didn’t go well, leaving her confused.
“What?”
“Ah! The white furball earlier was me. Rolling around on the floor.”
“Ah, yes.”
El finally nodded in understanding.
At that moment, she thought that even as a white wolf he was pretty, and as a human he was really pretty too. The people in this house were all pretty, wellbuilt, and sparkling.
Unlike me.
“Thank you for saving me.”
Rielo expressed his gratitude, gently took El’s hand, kissed it briefly, and bowed his head.
At his gentlemanly manners, El blushed, and quickly glanced around, as if to confirm whether this was correct.
“I too am grateful for rescuing my sibling, our family’s child. I owe you a great favor.”
El and Mikaela made eye contact, and she slightly bowed her head.
Briel, Rielo’s twin brother, also stood up from his seat, bowed his waist, and silently greeted them.
“No, I…”
El didn’t know what to do, feeling overwhelmed by the continuous thanks when she didn’t think she had done anything remarkable.
She was about to wave her hand to say it wasn’t necessary, but the sincere look in their eyes made her shyly bite her lip instead.
“Tell me what you want. What can I do for you? I’ll do whatever you desire.”
“That’s right. Tell me what you want. This Rielo will make it happen.”
Rielo energetically shook El’s hand as he spoke.
“Rielo, control your strength. Humans are different from beastmen.”
Lapellian, who had been silently watching until now, scolded Rielo.
At his rebuke, Rielo discovered the frail arm shaking inside his large sleeve.
“Sorry, sorry. El, did it hurt?”
“No, no.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Rielo, you’re still young, but this isn’t the time to be naive. And Rielo.”
“Yes?”
“You shouldn’t be so weak and naive right now, should you?”
Mikaela looked at Rielo with a cheerful smile.
Her lovely smile made Rielo shiver with goosebumps all over his body.
“Si, sister.”
“Rielo.”
Mikaela called her brother with a very gentle voice.
It was a very soft call, but Rielo knew that he shouldn’t take it at face value.
“Yes!”
Rielo stood up briskly and answered.
“I understand that you felt confined since you couldn’t easily go out after your second growth period.”
Rielo and Briel, being twins, were considered to have a relatively weak bloodline among the Mosteros family.
Moreover, Rielo became even weaker after suffering from an epidemic 50 years ago, so he had to be extra careful due to the imbalance of his physical strength.
“Thank you for understanding.”
Rielo bowed his head deeply. The understanding from Mikaela made the upcoming punishment feel a little less terrifying.
“But that doesn’t mean you’re not at fault. From tomorrow, you’ll be under house arrest for a month. You’re not allowed to step outside the mansion.”
“Yes.”
Rielo nodded, secretly relieved at the relatively mild punishment.
“If you violate this, be prepared to go to the Duke’s castle.”
“What?!”
Rielo, who had been obediently responding until now, widened his eyes in shock.
The Duke’s castle was a relatively newly built place to enhance accessibility to the city.
The Duke’s castle, passed down through generations of the Mosteros family, was located 2 hours north by car.
It was a castle on a sharply cut cliff, surrounded by nothing but snow, not an exaggeration to say.
“You’ll go there alone. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes. I understand.”
“And Irina.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“Even though you had a plan, you lost this little one. Since you failed to fulfill your duty, you’ll have a onemonth salary reduction. Rielo’s attendants will have a threemonth salary reduction.”
“Yes, Lord…”
“Older sister, it’s my fault.”
Before Irina could say she would accept the order, Rielo intervened, hitting his chest.
He meant that it was unfair for the blame to fall on the wrong person when he was at fault.
“Rielo. This is the result of your reckless action. You must understand that your actions don’t just end with you. You have a lot, so you must never move lightly.”
“…….”
At Mikaela’s stern voice, Rielo drooped his shoulders and bit his lip. Rielo seemed to ponder something silently, then bowed deeply.
“I was wrong.”
Then he apologized to Irina as well.
“I’m sorry.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“You’ve learned from this incident.”
Mikaela, who had been infinitely gentle with El, sternly decided the punishment for Rielo and the related people.
Rielo looked a bit gloomy, but it was no big deal.
“Now, Rielo, go back to your seat.”
“Yes.”
Mikaela, who confirmed that Liel had gone to Briel’s side and sat down, stared at El and returned to the most important matter of the day.
“Been waiting long? Let’s get back to the main point. El, tell me what you want.”
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.
