I walked away from the market for a while.
“So, where did you learn chess? Who is your teacher? Is it someone famous?”
Roger asked in succession.
“……Famous. Quite a lot…….”
“Hmm, but don’t rely too much on your teacher. But if he’s famous, wouldn’t I know?”
Not in terms of chess, but rather that the relationship with the Marsen family was not good.
“Yes, famous.”
“What about that Yurik kid?”
“What?”
“How is he?”
“What do you mean?”
Roger was very interested in Yurik. Was it because he was a peer like himself or because I compared him to him?
“You said it last time. That he’s like me.”
“Yes, Yurik is smart, extraordinary, wise, and full of consideration as I said before. He will be a great man later.”
“…….”
“Thinking about it, he’s quite different from you, isn’t he?”
Roger’s expression became slightly flustered. I made an annoying sound because he kept asking questions, and Roger got angry.
“Hey, Roger?”
“……What does ‘a great man’ mean? No one knows that.”
Well, he did become a hero who revived the market after inheriting the Fenton family.
“Yes. Let’s say that.”
“You’re too naive. Should I say you trust people too easily?”
“I don’t trust people that much?”
“You never doubted your teacher? Even though he’s famous, he might have a strange conspiracy.”
He said, completely without laughter.
“It’s okay. He’s a trustworthy person.”
“Yes. Let’s say that.”
He mimicked my tone.
[This is a time separator.]“……The family you mentioned was the Fenton family?”
Roger, who had doubted his eyes, asked after he came to his senses.
Rather than explaining a hundred times, it seemed better to show him, so I rang the doorbell a few times. A servant came out of the garden after a while.
“Miss? What’s the matter?”
“Ah, I sent a letter saying I was coming with a friend, but didn’t you receive it?”
“Oh my, it seems the letter hasn’t arrived yet.”
I had even tipped the young postman extra to deliver the letter to Fenton Manor on the way, but it seemed he had taken only the money and left my letter tucked in a corner of his bag.
What to do? It was awkward.
“Will you come in first?”
“Is it okay?”
The servant nodded with a smile. As he opened the door, Roger gently grabbed my arm.
“What happened?”
“I told you. My chess teacher.”
“He’s Duke Fenton?”
Roger opened his mouth in disbelief.
“Could it be, that child Yurik too…….”
“Yurik Fenton. The eldest son of the Fenton family.”
“Does your mother know this?”
“She doesn’t. It’s a secret between me and the Duke of Fenton, so never, never tell. Otherwise, I’ll never see you again.”
When I warned him in a serious tone, Roger flinched.
“You’re really going in?”
His face, full of caution as he entered the mansion, was filled with vigilance. Looking around without letting go of my arm, Roger looked like a person entering a beast’s cage.
“Don’t be scared. I’ll explain what happened.”
I explained everything from my meeting with Viscount Kito to playing chess with Duke Fenton to calm Roger’s mind, but his stiff expression did not soften.
“After the chess match ends, Viscount Kito himself will teach me. Until then, I’m staying with Duke Fenton.”
Roger, who had been silently listening to my story, nodded.
“Yes, Viscount Kito is surely a great man. Duke Fenton too……. But isn’t it strange? For free, and without any conditions, they’ll teach you.”
“What?”
“Think about it. The relations between the Marsen and Fenton families are not good. You know that better than I do, Lise. They’ll raise you as a student like that? How is this different from an ally raising an enemy’s prince as a tiger? There might be some ulterior motive.”
Roger’s suspicions were not unfounded. The rumors between the Fenton and Marsen families were well known, so they were quite on guard.
“Roger, don’t worry. Trust me, okay?”
Looking at Roger, she smiled slightly, but to no avail. He looked around nervously and swallowed before entering the foyer.
……Maybe I shouldn’t have brought him.
[This is a time separator.]“I sensed someone and it turns out to be Lise.”
Mrs. Fenton greeted us as soon as we stepped into the foyer.
“Hello, ma’am. I’m sorry for coming so suddenly.”
“I told you to visit whenever you have time. But who is this handsome young boy next to you?”
“II am Roger Bakers.”
Roger greeted the lady. Even though he was frightened, his manners were quite cute.
“Bakers? Oh my, could it be the Bakers family of organist Reginald Bakers?”
“My uncle, yes…….”
“So are you perhaps the son of tenor Rick Bakers?”
“My father, yes.”
Unlike the stammering Roger, the lady’s face brightened.
“Oh my! I went to a concert to listen to his music not long ago. It was truly astonishing. Ah, it’s cold outside, so come on in.”
The lady had the maid bring some refreshments while we warmed up. Roger and I sat awkwardly waiting for the snacks.
The first visit for Roger was understandable, but even I felt out of place. I had sent a letter, but it didn’t get through properly. I felt uncomfortable, thinking I might have stolen the lady and the Duke’s time.
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.
