Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
Dimidius took a brief breath and let it out slowly.
“Huh… I was scolded before for using the wrong table manners. There were even times I had to clean this entire place all by myself.”
Orentia nodded, imagining the rather stiff atmosphere at the dining table.
“I’ve also eaten here alone before—it really was lonely and desolate.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No! I didn’t mean for you to apologize.”
Just as Orentia waved her hands dismissively, flustered, Crown Prince Regalis and his friends appeared. It had been a crucial moment for Dimidius to share his personal story, and Orentia felt a pang of regret as she greeted them.
“You’ve arrived? Did you rest comfortably?”
At Orentia’s formal inquiry, Regalis stretched his lips into a bright smile.
“Yes! Thanks to you, I rested well. Thank you very much for preparing this dinner, Madam.”
Orentia shook her head and spoke to Regalis, who sat directly opposite her.
“Of course—it’s only natural when such important guests visit. I hope the food suits your taste.”
“I happen to enjoy northern cuisine, so please don’t worry.”
His straightforward and agreeable reply pleased her. Regalis seemed rather perceptive after all—he avoided mentioning their private conversation from when they’d met alone before Dimidius, even though Orentia hadn’t given him any hint to do so. It was quite remarkable.
Orentia lightly tasted the escargot and canapés served as appetizers. They paired wonderfully with the slightly sweet aperitif.
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.”
