A moment of silence passed.
Liz slowly removed her face from her hands. She had mentally prepared herself for the gruesome sight she might see.
But what on earth had happened?
The confrontation between the Lorein noble and the ruffian man remained exactly the same as before.
Had time stopped somehow?
If it weren’t for the sudden gust of wind that whipped up a whirlwind, lifting the pile of fallen leaves on the ground, she might have really thought so.
Time hadn’t stopped, and the confrontation wasn’t completely the same.
The dagger that had been spinning in the man’s hand disappeared… no, it came back.
The Lorein noble pulled the dagger out of the ruffian’s chest. Then…
Clink[Dash].
With wide eyes of despair, the ruffian toppled forward. His large scythelike longsword fell to the ground with a clang[Dash], ringing a clear metallic sound.
What, what happened?
Liz could not understand anything.
But the Lorein noble didn’t wait for her to understand and turned towards his next opponent.
The corner of his mouth was curling. As if he was thoroughly enjoying the situation.
“Is there only one left? Scum.”
Despite his cheerful smiling face, his eyes were filled with madness that could only be seen in a lunatic.
The captain was momentarily stunned, witnessing his two subordinates defeated so effortlessly.
But he quickly regained his composure, perhaps judging that he wouldn’t be defeated so easily, as his skill was far superior to the two brats.
“Where did you learn that grab?”
The captain said, drawing his longsword from his waist and aiming at the man.
Though that sword was longer and sharper than the one the dead subordinate had, Liz wasn’t too worried.
The man had won in a similar situation before.
He would surely win this time, too.
Liz resolved to watch until the end without covering her eyes this time.
But then.
A difficult situation arose.
Seeing the opponent’s sharp longsword, the Lorein noble contemptuously smirked, threw away his dagger, and drew a smaller, shorter folding knife.
‘O Lord, why do you test me?’
Liz’s hands wandered near her face, astonished.
The fight resumed without delay. The equally astonished captain charged, swinging his sword to behead the man in one blow.
But upon getting closer, perhaps judging that his own height was too short to decapitate the opponent, he changed his plan.
He took a deep lunge stance with one hand holding the sword, intending to stab the man’s abdomen just as his comrade had suffered.
But just before that, the man slightly turned his body to dodge the attack and swiftly repositioned his sword to slash[Dash] across the inside of the wrist.
“Huack!”
The captain clasped his wrist and writhed.
Though it appeared to Liz to be a light cut, he seemed to feel a lot of pain. Blood flowed like a faucet, and he couldn’t even hold his sword properly, as if the nerves were severed.
The man was momentarily disoriented by the sudden turn of events. But he couldn’t stand idle forever.
He recomposed himself and reassured himself.
‘Yes, the previous attack was a fluke. This time, I’ll finish it.’
Fortunately, he could wield the sword with both hands.
He grasped the sword with the other hand, no longer responsive, and charged again at the man. Then he brought down the sword with force.
At that moment, the Lorein noble swiftly picked up his fallen dagger from the ground and drew[Dash] a silver arc in the air.
“Khaaak!”
The man’s sword flew away. But it wasn’t just the sword that flew.
Damn.
Because she missed the timing to cover her eyes, Liz had to take in the sight of the sword vibrating as it was embedded in the ground in front of her, and the still swordholding… ownerless hand.
“Ugh ugh…”
The captain was still clutching his wrist with his other hand, which was still attached, and groaning in pain.
The Lorein nobleman wiped the bloodstained dagger on his clothes again and put it back in his waistband.
Then he picked up the long sword that his subordinate had been carrying, resembling a scythe, and approached the man.
The mischievous smile that had been on his face after finishing a round of play was gone, replaced by a chillingly expressionless look.
He kicked the man’s back, causing him to fall flat on the ground, then stepped hard on his back.
The man struggled desperately to escape the pressure, but he couldn’t get away from the force that was bearing down on him.
“Ple… please spare me…”
The man begged, flailing like a fish out of water.
But the Lorein nobleman looked down with emotionless eyes like an executioner, considering how to tear him apart.
Cutting off his hand had not been enough.
‘What else should I cut off?’
My own eye? The tongue that babbled disgusting words? The head that had obscene thoughts? Or the most important…
“Tch.”
He clicked his tongue in annoyance.
There was too much to cut off, what about his ears decaying from screams? And Liz’s mental health? Above all, that was the most concerning.
“I’ll let you go.”
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.
