Solein’s cloudy ashcolored eyes wavered.
Eyes that reflected the time he’d lived seemed to probe Lenisha’s intentions.
“……To use Her Grace, the Duchess Lenisha.”
“You see things I cannot, Solein. What do you see in me?”
Lenisha smiled softly.
“You’ve visited the institution in the past.”
Solein’s lips tightened firmly.
“You encountered me at Rotera’s townhouse institution and talked about me to your father. Do you remember that?”
“Lady Lenisha.”
“I was only 5 years old then. The world to me was only the mansion, a little child. You should remember what you said about me.”
Lenisha stood tall.
It wasn’t something she wanted to know because she was curious.
She had merely overheard the conversation her parents were having.
“‘That girl will lead Rotera to ruin. She will kill the duke with a misguided choice. She is a child who will harbor a brighter light, using it as a stepping stone. Cast her away. Cast the child away and seek Rotera’s preservation.’ My father asked you about that, didn’t he?”
“…….”
“‘So what kind of light will my child harbor? Will my child survive my death?'”
“…….”
“You said I would seize the light of Hientri.”
The true reason Lenisha couldn’t leave the mansion and was trapped all along was that.
Thanks to what Solein said.
Duke Rotera wished that the fate called for Lenisha would come as late as possible.
Solein was a sage of Hiloshain.
He knew that what a seer said must happen.
The problem was the timing.
Duke Rotera didn’t want young Lenisha to bear such a destiny and kept her inside the mansion.
To make sure she didn’t face any fate at all.
Not even thinking that fate would roll directly into the house.
As prophesied, Lenisha pushed Rotera to death.
At the price of her arrogant compassion.
Now it must be Lenisha’s turn to possess the light.
“Do you still see it that way? Do you think I’ll get hold of the light?”
Lenisha asked calmly.
Solein is a prophet.
He must still be seeing something through Lenisha.
“Speak, Solein.”
Lenisha urged Solein, who was keeping his mouth shut.
“What do you see in my destiny?”
Solein broke his silence.
“……I did not know you knew.”
“Oh, the past is fine. You respected my father and did not want him to fall. You were also probably worried about Hiloshain’s safety. Solein and I are strangers. There’s nothing between us, so it’s fine even if you said that.”
“I’m glad you understand. I’ll answer your question. You will grasp a brilliant light tinged with red. You will have all you desire in a destiny filled with greed. However, there will be inevitable sacrifices. I don’t want to push Hiloshain to that destiny.”
“So what then? Is this how we live, Solein? Is this what you want? To be trapped in Hiloshain like this? Do you want to pass on this life to the children? Hiding, fleeing. Abandoning even the foundation of life. We never know when such an opportunity will come again.”
Some of what Lenisha said was right.
They had been hiding in Hiloshain, waiting for the day they could step into the light.
And now, thanks to Casius, there was a chance.
People began to see the people of Hiloshain as heroes, not monsters.
When would such an opportunity come again, just as she said?
“Use me, Solein. Help me and take your payment from me. I’ll bring Hiloshain into the light.”
The moment Lenisha said that, Solein saw a single destiny.
The scene of Hiloshain’s children going out into the sunlight and mingling with others, just as Lenisha had said.
Solein was old and tired.
What he could do for Hiloshain was only to pass on the things he learned over the years.
Once Solein leaves, Hiloshain will lose someone to guide him.
The old ones of Hiloshain have long been in eternal sleep.
If he makes use of Lenisha, as Lenisha said.
“If I fulfill my dreams, I will never turn my back on Hiloshain.”
Lenisha was no different from a serpent harboring sweet poison.
“So take my hand, Solein.”
(This is a time delimiter.)
“How should the coronation ceremony be conducted?”
The nobles, led by the Earl of Denvers, pushed Lexsus.
The enthronement of Canaria as Empress had been decided.
Then there should be a move, but the Imperial Palace was quiet, so they acted again.
Before someone changes their mind again.
“It would be safer for Lady Canaria to be protected in the Empress’s Palace.”
“Why? Is there a big figure who would touch a woman carrying my child?”
Lexus laughed in circles.
His expression seemed all twisted inside.
The timing is not very good.
It was when the nobles were looking at each other.
“Lexus.”
Canaria appeared.
The Earl of Denvers brightened his eyes at Canaria.
She was dressed like imitating Lenisha.
The white dress covering her neck was embroidered with gold thread without restraint.
It was the dress design that Lenisha often wore.
She twisted her hair up like Lenisha and wore jewelry like her.
The Earl of Denvers swallowed a hollow laugh.
It was a frivolous appearance that didn’t feel dignified at all.
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.
