Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
It was impossible to tell whether he was joking or serious. It seemed like a joke because his voice sounded rather mischievous, and the way he rested his chin on his hand looked playful.
Yet Count Odor readily gave his consent.
“Very well! Please stay as long as you like.”
‘There’s no need to be that happy! If you agree so easily, what am I supposed to do!’
Orentia couldn’t help but wear an expression of deep disappointment. The corners of her mouth drooped, and her shoulders sagged. With all these exquisite dishes in front of her, her appetite suddenly vanished. Her emotions were swinging wildly.
Seeing this, Dimidius withdrew his hand from his chin and teased her.
“I really do need to stay a few more days, but it seems Lady Orentia is uncomfortable. Are you disappointed that I’ll be staying longer?”
She couldn’t outright say yes in front of her uncle.
Orentia quickly shook her head. For a moment, she even wondered if she should wear a mask like Dimidius. A mask would be wonderfully effective at hiding emotions.
‘I showed my disappointment too openly… I need to be more careful.’
Clearing her throat softly, Orentia offered a polite smile.
“I’m also a guest at the count’s residence, so there’s no room for me to feel disappointed or not. If Uncle is fine with it, then it’s fine with me.”
Watching Orentia struggle to recover herself, Dimidius nodded.
“Yes. Then I look forward to your continued kindness, Lady Armenuaka.”
His manner of speech was unusually courteous. Orentia gave a vague reply and returned to her meal. When awkwardness struck, focusing on eating was far better.

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.”
