Finally, I let out a relieved sigh and came to my senses. At the same time, I realized that there were not only Kaern and me in the room but also several other people.
There were several aides, including the personal physician of the Duke of Laverion, and officials assisting him by his side.
“Oh.”
In an instant, the actions I had taken since entering this room quickly passed through my mind like a panorama.
I felt my face rapidly turning red at the fact that I had exhibited embarrassing behavior in front of strangers.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, I didn’t know what to do and struggled to pull my hand out of Kaern’s grasp.
However, Kaern didn’t let go of my hand at all.
“Kaern, no, Your Grace…”
“Kaern.”
As I tried to address him by his title instead of his name, Kaern narrowed his eyes and corrected the form of address.
“But there are people here…”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”
As he said that, he actually pulled me closer, as if indicating that I shouldn’t worry about them.
However, unlike him, who behaved so nonchalantly, I still felt very concerned about them.
So, in the midst of not being able to hide my discomfort, Kaern’s voice reached me.
“Everyone, leave.”
Following his command, those in the room seemed to evaporate like receding water in an instant.
When the door closed, only Kaern and I remained in the room.
“Is it okay now?”
“Huh? Oh, there was no need to send them away…”
I was about to say that he only needed to let go of my hand, but I just kept my mouth shut.
We stood there for a while, looking at each other without saying a word.
While looking at the blood-stained bandages, I asked the question I hadn’t received an answer to earlier.
“How did you get injured? I haven’t heard any news of you getting hurt. Did you get injured during battle?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Then, what happened to you?”
“I fell while crossing the mountains to return to the capital.”
“You fell from a horse?”
His reason for getting hurt was so unexpected that I was surprised and asked.
As far as I knew, his equestrian skills were top-notch.
For someone like him to fall…
“How did that happen?”
I asked in bewilderment, and in the midst of my confusion, Kaern, who had been staring at me intently, suddenly changed the topic.
“By the way, you went to see Adelia, right?”
“H-How did you know?”
I was so surprised that I stammered, asking more questions to someone I knew was aware of it.
“Did you send someone to watch over me?”
“I wouldn’t do that. Of course, if you say you don’t want it, it would be a lie.”
“Then how did you… Oh, did you hear it from Adelia?”
“I occasionally receive reports on how that kid is doing through the knight who is protecting her.”
Ah, so that’s how you found out.
I nodded as if understanding.
“But why did you go to Adelia?”
“Well, I was curious about how Adelia was doing, and also… I went to tell her that I’ll be going abroad for further studies.”
Unable to mention that I went to Adelia because of the broken engagement, I carefully replied, avoiding that part.
“How is Adelia doing? Is she well?”
“Yes, she’s doing very well. Oh!”
As I said that, I quickly pulled out the letter Adelia had given me from my pocket.
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.”
