“I want to go find them right now and return to you a greater pain than the suffering you’ve experienced. I didn’t like the way they treated you at the dinner table earlier. I almost broke those fingers earlier. Teri, I want to stick all those nobles and knights who treated you with disdain into a pit.”
“My beloved Rivampel.”
As I reached out, Rivampel, who barely held back, lowered his head as if asking for praise.
“But your brother will be in a difficult situation. Your brother’s difficulty won’t affect me at all, but…”
Soft strands of hair nestled between my fingers. It felt good involuntarily.
“If Prince Karayan is in trouble, Teri, you might worry. That’s the only reason I don’t do it.”
“…Thank you, Rivampel.”
“This place is no longer a place for you to be afraid or avoid, Teri.”
Rivampel lightly embraced me.
“When summer comes again, let’s pick the fruits you mentioned together.”
Murmuring clumsily, he laid me on the bed, kissing my neck.
“When autumn comes, let’s dip our feet in the river while watching the sunset.”
His gentle touch moved softly along my waist. My body involuntarily shivered at the cool touch on my skin.
“In winter, let’s have the Lupion royal family break the ice in the frozen river. It will be fun to watch.”
“…I like winter the most.”
“Me too.”
Rivampel smiled and warmly embraced my body, chilled like winter.
“Rivampel.”
I softly called Rivampel, who was placing warm stamps all over my body like a cold winter.
“When I first proposed a one-year contract marriage to you.”
“Did you?”
“If I had said I was leaving in a year, what would you have done?”
Rivampel laughed at my question, as if he had never imagined such a scenario.
“If it were a year, Teri, I was confident you would love me.”
“Overflowing with confidence. But what if I, Rivampel, didn’t love you?”
Rivampel, with a faint smile, playfully bit my neck like a predator, covering me.
“Still, it wouldn’t matter. A year was just an arbitrarily set period. In fact, even after a year, I didn’t have any intention of letting you go.”
“…Liar.”
“Yeah. I’m a crude liar with no mercy, a ruthless tyrant. You knew that, right?”
So, I won’t let you go from my embrace. He said with a smile that wasn’t annoying, muttering.
“I’ve restrained my anger; I won’t restrain myself on the bed.”
Rivampel laughed, holding my hand and tucking it into his clothes.
This place was no longer colder.
Two days later.
I presented a small potion to Karayan.
“What is this?”
“I learned from Elifu and made a purification potion. It’s different from regular purification potions. This one contains my magical power.”
Karayan examined the small potion interestingly. The transparent liquid sparkled like a jewel with every shake.
“People. It seems like the tips of their fingers are rotting. After moving around with Elifu for two days, I treated those working in the palace, and purification work everywhere is complete. Only your family remains.”
I pointed to the potion in Karayan’s hand.
“If you drink this, your symptoms will likely improve.”
“Not recovery but improvement?”
“Of course. You’re not receiving treatment directly from me; you’re drinking water with my power. Recovery is impossible.”
“…Liar.”
“Yeah. I’m a shameless liar with no mercy. You know that, right?”
So, I won’t let you go from my embrace. Smiling without annoyance, Rivampel muttered.
“If you want to live, crawl well in front of me in the future. When your hands and feet start to rot again, I’ll make and send the potion.”
Karayan clapped, impressed with my meticulous plan.
“…Is it okay for the fact that you are the Saint to be known? You wanted to keep it a secret.”
“If you happen to reveal that I am the Saint, tell them the potion is over, and then tell them my life is over. If they find out I’m the Saint, I’ll be too busy, and there won’t be time to make potions for the nobles.”
Only Genevra needs to know that I am the Saint. So, as long as I can put Genevra to sleep.
I don’t need to deal with other people until I bring Genevra out.
“And I fired and banished the maid who took care of my brother. I’m sorry for deciding it on my own… But that maid just left my brother alone, whether he lived or died. I didn’t want such a person in the palace.”
Karayan reassured me, nodding approvingly. After confirming that there was no one around, I pulled a chair and approached Karayan.
“How did you catch the plague?”
“I don’t know. I was careful, and I’ve been careful. I have no idea how or where I got infected.”
“Are there many areas prone to infection?”
“Too many, so it’s hard to tell.”
Karayan chuckled in frustration.
“That’s what I do. I go on a mission to investigate villages with the plague, call for priests, and assist them.”
“Right.”
“So, there are too many areas prone to infection.”
It was a valid point. I nodded calmly and then tilted my head.
“But, Karayan oppa.”
“Yeah?”
“Why didn’t you summon the spirits? Even if you were lying down because you were sick, you could have summoned the spirits and set them up as guards. Then Rusenia oppa wouldn’t have been able to attack.”
“Um.”
“If you had done that, Rusenia oppa wouldn’t have been able to attack.”
To my question, Karayan laughed awkwardly.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
