“Yes. I fully understand what you, Your Highness, are saying and feeling.”
“…”
“Oh, Your Highness, by the way, you didn’t happen to fall for me during this process, did you? That wouldn’t be right.”
“…Really. I can’t say anything more, considering that the Grand Duchess might be listening somewhere…”
“I understand. Your Highness looks too serious, so it was just a joke.”
Watching Damian, who was genuinely troubled, Delina giggled.
“Just in case, if you end up living in the Helium Empire, I’ll introduce you to a good woman then.”
“That sounds good.”
It was the first time since they met that the opinions of the two coincided. Damian smiled slightly, looking visibly relieved.
“Delina!”
After regaining consciousness, Delina focused on recovering her strength. As she had maintained her usual stamina, her recovery was quite rapid, following the doctor’s advice.
However, as a significant figure in the failed assassination attempt on the noble, Delina was still staying in the palace. And there were those who came to see such Delina. They were Eilie and Gideon.
“You really…! Do you know how shocked I was when that happened? How are you now? Are you okay? Is there anything strange?”
In response to Eilie’s urgent words, Delina smiled as if to reassure her.
“I’m fine. As long as I recover well, that’s all that matters.”
“I’m really relieved, truly… How worried I was when I saw you being carried away with your eyes closed…”
Once they were seated at the table, Eilie began to talk about what happened at that time.
“I’ve heard roughly about the incident. Because of that, Lord Jarverne is almost ruined now.”
“That much?”
“Of course. It’s nothing else but the failed noble assassination attempt. Moreover, the deceased Lord Jarverne Yeongsik seems to have gotten involved in illegal gambling and loans for his business. Because of that, creditors are flocking to the mansion, causing chaos. Anyway, the social circle has been turned upside down due to the noble assassination attempt and the poisoning incident.”
Thinking about it seemed to drain her energy, and Eilie lowered her head. Soon, she looked around and, lowering her voice, continued.
“And there’s also a strange rumor going around.”
“What is it?”
“They say that a war might break out soon. Everyone is very anxious about it.”
Even if they relaxed in the palace, those who already knew were well aware. Ashed was leading an army toward the border. And that rumor was gradually spreading among the nobles.
“Why on earth is Emperor Hwangtaeson saying that? Do you maybe know? You have a friendship with him, don’t you?”
“…”
“Well, considering that something happened while you were lying down, you must have been surprised as soon as you regained consciousness.”
Eilie, satisfied with Delina’s silence, naturally concluded the story. After being lost in her own thoughts for a while, Delina spoke.
“Right. And… just in case, the Ulfirim Grand Duchy has also decided to head to the border.”
It was difficult to see Belion these days. It was because of his departure. Belion was preparing to go to the border, shuttling between the palace and the grand ducal residence. Accordingly, Delina made one decision.
“So, I’ve decided to go with him.”
“What? To the border?”
Upon Delina’s words of going with him, Eilie’s mouth opened wide in surprise.
“Is that true? You know the current atmosphere at the border, right? You might make a mistake and…”
“Right. There might be a war soon.”
Delina was well aware of it too. However, she had to go. If she didn’t, an even greater disaster might unfold. The characters flashing red on the window were telling her that.
They, who had brought down the empire, had returned. It was indeed a dangerous situation. Moreover, Celine was by their side. She didn’t know what moves they would make.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going recklessly. Until I leave, I’ll diligently recover my body and prepare what’s necessary.”
Even though all five had turned into the Black Cloaks, Delina still held onto the thread of hope. Seeing that she could still use her abilities, she believed there was a possibility. A possibility to restore them to their original state.
“So, don’t worry too much…”
“No.”
At that moment, Gideon interjected, cutting off Delina’s words. Gideon, who had entered the room and continued to remain silent, raised his head with a more resolute expression than anyone else.
“Don’t go.”
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.”
