In Etienne’s expectant eyes, Leharht burst into laughter. Her appearance was like a puppy running happily to its owner. If he spoke honestly, it could lead to trouble.
Leharht reached out and cupped Etienne’s cheek. With a puzzled expression from the touch on her face, Etienne looked at Leharht.
“That gaze is right.”
I saw the reason I turned back Etienne’s time in a dream. And why I chose her.
“Jealous, I guess.”
“Jealous? Why?”
Etienne, as if finding it strange, was willingly showing her face while asking.
“Fernando was jealous. He who receives your love.”
“…….”
“I think I wanted that too.”
So I chose Etienne, and here we are.
“Now I understand why I chose you.”
Leharht embraced Etienne. Though she made sounds of discomfort, Leharht held her tightly and smiled confidently.
The thought of meeting Duke Supraher crossed his mind. He only asked to kill Etienne, so why annihilate the entire family…
“Sorry.”
For hurting you.
“Why are you sorry?”
“I’ll ask for your forgiveness later.”
Leharht pushed Etienne’s face into his chest. The dark face of Leharht, smiling while preventing her from seeing his face, was unsettling.
“So, how did Lena Hwangbi mess things up? Haven’t you seen that?”
Etienne, who had been curious for a long time, asked about what she had been waiting for.
“Did you call, Prince Ludvi?”
Hana couldn’t hide her tension in front of Prince Ludvi, who called her after a long time. She had already seen what he had done, and she was the one who ordered to involve me in it.
How many people were injured in the fountain bombing incident? I was afraid of being told to kill someone next.
“There’s something you need to do.”
“W-what is it?”
Hana stammered in response. Now that the emperor had passed away, many people had entered the palace. Could it be that among them, someone would be chosen to kill…
“Fernando.”
Hana’s face turned pale.
“Are you telling me to kil- kill Fernando…?”
The words didn’t come out until the end. Could she really do it if asked to kill him? If she refused the order, wouldn’t Prince Ludvi try to kill her?
“Shake Fernando.”
“Shake… him?”
“Yes.”
Prince Ludvi tilted his head.
“I’m going to use him to approach Leharht. To do that, Fernando needs to listen to me, so you should shake him before that.”
“Shake him, how? And why specifically Fernando…”
“Tsk.”
Unhappy with Hana’s response, Ludvi clicked his tongue with a displeased expression.
“I thought you could shake him. If not, I’ll have someone else do it. I need to think about where I can use you.”
The knights came in and grabbed Hana. Although it seemed like they were urging her to leave, Hana exerted strength in her legs and resisted.
However, it was insufficient to overcome the strength of the knights. She desperately reached out towards Ludvi.
“I-I can do it.”
She didn’t know what Prince Ludvi might do to Fernando if she didn’t. So, even though Hana knew it was something she shouldn’t do, she had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Ludvi raised his hand at Hana’s desperate plea. As the knight withdrew his arm, Hana took a deep breath and stood upright, her body trembling.
“How should I do it?”
She wanted to know why it had to be Fernando, and why specifically him, not someone else.
“He needs to harbor resentment towards Leharht.”
Instead of responding, Hana listened attentively to his words.
“Making him resentful is easy.”
Ludvi stood up and approached Hana.
“I initially planned to have the crown prince fall and try to kill him.”
When he suddenly mentioned the plan to kill the crown prince, Hana gasped in surprise. Ludvi was casually talking about treason now.
“So, the people I sent to gather information at the designated location unexpectedly learned something. They say the crown prince and Etienne have started dating. Seems like he got in a hurry when I said I would marry Etienne.”
Very much so. Ludvi emphasized, and his words pierced Hana’s heart.
“Pretending not to care when talking to me, that arrogant brat.”
While Ludvi mumbled to himself, Hana sorted out what had happened.
During the debutante ball, Hana was puzzled when Etienne appeared alone, but as expected, Etienne chose the crown prince. As the hope that she could possess Fernando grew, a slight brightness appeared on Hana’s face.
“Exploit that.”
As Hana nodded slightly, Ludvi turned away from her.
“I’m going to propose to Etienne as planned.”
“Propose… you’re going to propose?”
Knowing that Etienne was already dating the crown prince, Hana wondered if there was a need for that. Even though she knew Etienne would refuse, what could be the reason for Ludvi to do it?
“You won’t think I know they’re meeting, so you’ll watch my reaction. Otherwise, I might disgustingly do something.”
Ludvi said, as if reading Hana’s thoughts.
“So, I’ll use that against them.”
Ludvi raised the corners of his mouth as if finding it amusing.
“We don’t have much time, so it’s better to hurry.”
“Until when should I do it?”
“Until the emperor’s funeral is over.”
A cold chill ran through Ludvi’s eyes.
“I need to do everything I can before that.”
As Hana bowed her head in silence, Ludvi, approaching the window, pulled back the curtain and looked somewhere.
The lady-in-waiting, who must be doing something in the crown prince’s room, Hana’s mother.
“If our plans align perfectly, something very interesting will happen.”
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.
