“I’ll have to serve the Crown Prince even better from now on.”
Whatever words are spoken, he will accept them with a smile.
As Alex made that determination, Ferdinand turned away after finishing his words. That was when Alex, grabbing him, pointed somewhere.
“Etienne is here. How about meeting him while he’s here?”
Originally, he wouldn’t have taught him, but now there was gratitude, and the words flowed effortlessly.
If Ferdinand goes to see Etienne, Crown Prince Lehard might not be pleased, but… Alex, who initially said he wouldn’t do it, quickly changed his mind and promised to do well.
Given the information Alex provided, Ferdinand hesitated for a moment and then nodded. He still didn’t have the courage to meet Etienne. Ferdinand lightly bowed his head.
“I will go.”
He might have to take a detour to avoid meeting Etienne.
“Your Highness.”
Walking along the outer court, Etienne couldn’t hide his delight the moment he spotted Lehard. It was such a loud voice that the guards looked at him in surprise.
But now, Etienne had no time to care about other people’s gazes. It had been a long time since he met Lehard.
Etienne approached him, grabbing the hem of her skirt, and greeted him with a wide smile.
“How have you been? Are you taking a walk in the outer court today? Is the coronation preparation going well? The weather is nice, isn’t it?”
“Etienne.”
Lehard, unable to stop himself, smiled and called her name. There were too many questions, so he couldn’t answer immediately.
“I couldn’t be well because I missed you. I came out not for a walk but to see around. Thanks to others being busier than me in preparing for the coronation, it seems to be going well. I didn’t think about the weather, but now that I see it, it’s very nice.”
As Etienne answered in order, she smiled even brighter.
“Now it’s my turn to ask questions?”
Lehard, facing Etienne, asked leisurely. Thanks to that, Etienne looked at him with a much calmer expression than before. A soft voice flowed from Lehard.
“How many times did you think about me?”
He didn’t ask as many questions as Etienne did. His voice was calm without a sense of hurry. But Etienne, with an embarrassed voice, asked back.
“Do I have to count them even if there are countless?”
The question was too difficult.
“Then tell me when you thought about me.”
As Lehard came up with a compromise and said, Etienne pretended to think while humming.
“I thought about you when I woke up in the morning, when I greeted my parents, when I had meals. Also when reading a book, and even when I rested and looked at the sky. And… ”
If she listed them one by one, it seemed endless, but Etienne continued to speak, and Lehard laughed while listening.
Both of them were busy with their own affairs. Therefore, they had been apart for a long time, and the longing for each other was significant. Just facing each other and having a conversation made them excited and happy.
Of course, Lehard couldn’t fully rejoice, feeling a heavy stone pressing on a corner of his chest.
“Etienne.”
Lehard cautiously reached out and gently touched her hair. She closed her eyes and leaned her head as if expecting him to brush away the hair blown by the wind. In that moment, it was hard to look away from her.
My beautiful and lovely lover.
The lover who returned to the past because of my choice. It was difficult to watch her, who had to live with the pain of the past life that she could never erase.
“Your Highness?”
Suddenly opening his eyes and looking at Etienne’s gaze, Lehard belatedly withdrew his hand.
“Sorry.”
“Are you tired? I must have held onto Your Highness for a long time.”
Since she said she came out because of an errand in the outer palace, Etienne took a step back, thinking she should let him go. At that moment, Lehard grabbed Etienne’s wrist and pulled her towards him.
With her body leaning forward, Etienne was embraced in Lehard’s arms.
“Your Highness.”
For a moment, she thought his embrace was warm, but curious about why he suddenly pulled her, Etienne raised her head and called him.
“Do you remember saying you had something to tell me?”
“Well, yes.”
Thinking it might not be a proposal since they had talked with the butler, Etienne answered immediately. It was fortunate that she was in his embrace, so he couldn’t see her face turning red.
“I’ll say it now.”
Lehard’s voice seemed to grow heavier, and unexpectedly, he said something she didn’t anticipate.
“I’m sorry.”
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.
