“Should I avoid the Crown Prince for a while?”
Would that ease her mind?
“Miss.”
“Huh? Lani?”
Lost in thought, Etienne was approached by someone rushing towards her. It was Lani. Etienne stood up, holding Lani’s note.
“Please help.”
Lani knelt down and clutched Etienne’s dress.
“What’s the matter all of a sudden?”
“Please save my brother.”
Etienne looked closely at Lani’s face, drenched in tears.
On the day she returned from the banquet, she had shared the information she had gathered with Lani and even given her money for her father’s medicine. But seeing Lani’s expression now, something had gone terribly wrong.
“My brother’s been captured.”
“Captured?”
“He touched the Count’s belongings.”
Lani struggled to contain her tears as she explained.
“He’s on the run, but he might get caught soon… My father, sob.”
Lani couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.
“Do you know where your brother might be?”
Lani nodded vigorously.
“Probably where we used to meet. I’ll show you the way.”
Lani quickly got up to lead the way, and Etienne followed her. But just as they were about to leave, the butler blocked their path.
“You can’t go, Miss.”
“Retin, the butler.”
“There could be trouble with the Pigment Count’s household. I can’t let you go knowing it could escalate.”
“But Lani’s brother is in danger.”
Lani stamped her feet in frustration. Etienne pleaded with the butler.
“Just this once.”
“It’s not possible. If Lani had stolen the item, we could intervene on behalf of a child working in our household. But her brother is different. Especially since meddling in noble affairs is a serious crime. You know that, Miss.”
“Rahvin is just a child. Are we to just leave him?”
“Yes.”
The butler spoke firmly. His expression was dark, perhaps because it was Lani’s issue. But his resolve to not let Etienne go was firm.
“Retin, the butler.”
Etienne looked into his eyes and pulled his arm down.
“I came back to save everyone.”
Until the Crown Prince spoke his secret, Etienne thought she had returned to prevent a future disaster. Everyone in the Ducal family was precious to her.
“So, don’t try to overlook even the smallest sacrifice.”
With a determined look in her eyes, Etienne passed the butler.
“Miss.”
“If a problem arises, I’ll take full responsibility.”
After saying this, Etienne didn’t look back and followed Lani. The butler, watching her leave, sighed deeply.
“What can be done?”
With the lady determined to go, it was his duty to find a way to help her.
“I need to ride a horse… but.”
Etienne hesitated momentarily in her urgency. Riding a horse was much faster than a carriage. However, at sixteen, she was still practicing horseback riding.
She felt like she could ride a horse perfectly, but wasn’t sure if her young body would cooperate with her thoughts.
Just as she considered changing her mind to take the carriage instead,
“Etienne?”
Hearing her name, she turned to see a familiar face.
“Fernando.”
He was riding towards her. Watching him skillfully dismount, Etienne smiled brightly.
Fernando asked as he approached her,
“Where are you headed?”
“Yes. But what about you?”
Etienne looked at him expectantly, hoping he hadn’t come due to some problem but just to see her. If that was the case, things would be easier.
“Yes. I came to see you.”
“That’s great.”
Pleased with his response, Etienne grasped Fernando’s hand and smiled.
Fernando looked at their joined hands with a curious expression but soon nodded. He didn’t know why she said it was great, but if Etienne was happy, so was he.
“I need to go somewhere. Will you come with me? You just need to accompany me part of the way.”
“You mean, take you on the horse?”
Realizing Etienne was in a hurry, Fernando quickly asked. And as soon as she nodded, Fernando swiftly took her waist.
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.
