“Really? That’s a relief.”
“……. ”
In response to Grace’s words, Bellion silently stared at the gradually receding figure of Felic. Soon, as Felic discovered Betty and the two faced each other, Bellion muttered.
“Yeah, it’s fortunate.”
“Betty! Did you gather all the firewood?”
Felic approached Betty, who now held a bunch of branches in her arms.
“You’ve already gathered quite a lot.”
“Yes. With this much, there shouldn’t be any problem when we need to make a fire.”
“Yeah. That’s right…… The fire isn’t the problem. The problem is my digestion now, though…….”
Felik, muttering like a soulless person, approached Betty and began picking up more branches.
“Still, let’s procrastinate and go in as much as possible. I need to prepare my heart to eat the princess’s cooking.”
“……. ”
“In any case, even if you’re too capable, it’s a bit burdensome. I thought it would be more comfortable if you took on some tasks, Calix Master, but now you’re following me again. Right, Betty?”
Listening silently to Felik’s grumbling, Betty answered while picking up branches.
“I’m fine with it.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. It’s not physically demanding, and besides…”
Betty glanced at Felik beside her.
“Being together is also nice.”
“Yeah, it’s nice to have good people serving you. They don’t even ask me to do annoying things.”
Felik, who replied like that, looked up at the sky.
“By the way, those clouds in the distance don’t look good. Maybe it’s going to snow.”
“It seems so.”
“Yeah? Then it must be. Betty, you’ve always been good at predicting these things.”
Felik lightly spoke and then looked at Betty as if praising her.
“Betty is truly capable. Honestly, if I were as good as you, I would have already asked the princess to increase my salary several times through protests, wouldn’t I?”
“……. ”
“Speaking of which… Betty, do you have no plans?”
“What plans are you talking about?”
“The young lady will soon be going to the Diamond Ducal House. Then, Betty, your original job will disappear.”
In fact, even if Betty retired now, she would have enough money to live on for the rest of her life. In response to Felik’s question, Betty asked him instead.
“What are your plans, Lord Felik?”
“Well, I’m practically thinking that if the princess retires… Hmm, maybe I should go on a trip that I couldn’t do before?”
Felik spat out various words, imagining himself traveling in his mind.
“Going around any village and seeing exciting things. After seeing this and that… I might return to the Grand Duchy.”
“……. ”
“Anyway, the Grand Duchy is like my hometown and house to me.”
Saying so, Felik laughed.
“Anyway, whether I retire or do something else, I want to live happily.”
“……. ”
“Oh, Betty, if you don’t have anything specific to do, do you want to go with me?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah, I was just saying it… Oh, huh?”
Felik, who was joking lightly and laughing, suddenly came to his senses, blinked his eyes. Then Betty turned her head, looking directly into Felik’s eyes.
“I want to go with you.”
“… Really?”
“Yes.”
Betty slowly raised her hand.
“Lord Felik.”
“……. ”
“Do you know how I can predict cloudy weather so well?”
Betty’s hand was touching his left shoulder.
“When the weather becomes overcast, the scars ache. The scars from when I was lying among the rubble.”
Felik’s pupils, hearing Betty’s story, shook slightly. In the smoke, he recalled the eyes of a girl that flickered faintly.
“Could it be that you, back then…”
“His Highness knew. However, I requested it to be kept a secret. I wanted to tell him with my own mouth when the time came.”
Betty slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
“Someday, when I can fully express my feelings… I wanted to share with His Highness how our first meeting with Lord Felik was.”
“……. ”
“I was glad that I could be of help to Lord Felik with the life he saved. And I am truly grateful for saving me.”
Trying to conceal her trembling voice, Betty continued speaking.
“I am also very curious about the path Lord Felik is taking.”
“……. ”
“So, if it’s okay… I also want to accompany you on that journey.”
It was the shy confession of a woman who had always been as cold and indifferent as the winter wind. In the man’s eyes, spring was evident because red flowers bloomed on the woman’s cheeks. It was her first confession.
“……. ”
It was also the moment the man first became aware of the woman. In the snowy wilderness, he noticed the woman’s eyes shining only for him.
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.”
