“Your Majesty, I am in your presence.”
Raven hurriedly rose from her seat and bowed toward Levanfell. Levanfell glanced at Raven and then came over to my side.
“Talking about the Eteria Empire’s welcome party, Teriella?”
“Yes, with Raven…”
I was about to reply, “I was confirming with Raven, Your Majesty,” but I stopped for a moment.
Because the moment I mentioned Raven’s name, I noticed an inexplicable expectation gleaming in Levanfell’s eyes.
‘…Name…’
I had definitely called it once while looking at flowers. Is once not enough? He surely wouldn’t ask me to keep calling him by name in front of many people?
Hahaha.
“Huh? Teriella, why don’t you finish your sentence? Speak up.”
Yes. He really does want me to keep calling him by his name in front of people. Hahaha.
When I stopped speaking, I attracted the simultaneous focus of others.
Call his name in this situation? I couldn’t.
“Yes, Your Majesty. We were preparing for the Riranef ceremony and the Eteria Empire’s welcome party.”
If I’m not going to call his name, I won’t call anyone’s name to be fair.
I greeted Jerim standing behind Levanfell.
“Lord Ascal. Regarding the last time we talked about the top monopoly contract. Please prepare to terminate the exclusive contract and recontract under the terms I mentioned.”
“Yes? Yes, Your Majesty.”
How about that? It’s fair to everyone, so there should be no complaints, right?
I triumphantly raised my head to the sky. A frown creased Levanfell’s brow for not hearing what he wanted. I could feel his lips pouting when no one was looking.
“…I shouldn’t have permitted the visit from the Eteria Empire. If I hadn’t, the empress wouldn’t have had to prepare for the party.”
“Yes. Even if the Eteria Empire doesn’t come, someone will visit eventually, Your Majesty.”
“No, Jerim. Turn the ship around now and tell them not to come.”
“Yes. They have already set sail, so I can’t pass on the message.”
“Jerim, I heard you swim well?”
“Yes. If floating in the water counts as swimming, then I can swim.”
Levanfell glared sharply, but Jerim was unaffected. Levanfell shifted targets and attacked Raven this time.
“Riranef ceremony master. Let me say in advance, the empress doesn’t take consorts. Don’t think your nonsense about becoming a consort will work.”
“Your Majesty.”
As soon as Levanfell’s words were out, Raven called him in a serious tone. Their eyes locked fiercely.
Raven continued with a truly incredulous expression.
“I value my life greatly.”
…Huh?
“I have no desire to fall out of favor with Your Majesty and lose my life. I’m not so brazen to think that. I believe the person who suits the empress’s side best is Your Majesty.”
Raven’s burning will not to antagonize Levanfell was very clear. Very serious.
“You, you said your name was Raven?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You communicate much better than the Duke of Riranef.”
“My father and I are different people. I don’t get along with my father either. Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Once this matter is over, I’ll leave cleanly and never appear in the palace again.”
“I like that. It’s the first time someone has pleased me so much in the palace.”
Unexpectedly, the two had great chemistry.
“Your Majesty.”
Jerim whispered in my ear, careful not to let the others hear.
“I’m sorry to say this, but is that person an idiot?”
This one’s no pushover either. I sighed and shook my head.
“Jerim, Raven calculated the profit that took you several days in a single glance at a few papers.”
“…!”
Jerim gasped, clamped his mouth shut, then rushed over and took Raven’s hand.
“You’re Raven, the person I was looking for. I misunderstood you for a moment.”
“What, what are you talking about?”
It turns out that the Duke of Liranef’s second son was a genius at arithmetic calculations and mental math since he was a child, so everyone paid attention. He was also talented in swordsmanship, so everyone was excited to see which way he would go.
“…….”
“The position of Finance Minister is vacant. Don’t you have any thoughts on it?”
At Jaerim’s words, Levanfell’s face suddenly darkened. The shadowed Levanfell gently brushed off Jaerim’s hand and stepped back.
“No. I’m not interested in the royal palace position. Besides, those are all things of the past, and now I’m a freeman who knows nothing but drinking and playing.”
He was excessively belittling himself, protecting himself and acting passively. Could it be because he is still struggling with what his brother experienced?
No one could speak in the suddenly darkened atmosphere, and Levanfell left after promising the next meeting.
(This is a time separator.)
“It seems like he hasn’t escaped the shock of that incident yet?”
Jaerim, walking through the palace corridor, spoke first.
“I don’t think it’s any of my business.”
“If it’s not related to the empress, you really have no interest.”
“Do I need to care? I’m busy enough with Teriella.”
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.”
