Mihail listened to my words and paled, but he could not ignore the given situation.
He was not a foolish human.
“So……it is.”
‘He’s accepting it faster than I thought.’
Like when Sienna confessed in the original work that she liked the crown prince, but never said a word of love and quickly resigned, his resignation was quick.
「He looks stubborn but lacks perseverance.」
Even Jerome clicked his tongue at his quick resignation.
I defended him, although I didn’t like Mihail.
‘He has exceptional judgment. He has realized that denying reality here will not benefit him, but he might have recognized it for that reason too.’
Mihail was not a person who only climbed to the position of the Knight Commander for free.
He was a virtuous person pursuing goodness and justice, and at the same time, he could frighteningly calculate.
‘Even considering that, he resigned quickly.’
It was something I said because I knew what kind of character he was, but Jerome poked me with a strange expression.
「What’s wrong? Do you like that guy?」
“Are you crazy?”
How could he say such harsh words?
I couldn’t help but scream at Jerome’s absurd remark.
“……Is that what you are saying to me?”
‘Oops.’
Of course, Mihail, who was speaking to me exclusively, heard the single cry I had uttered.
“Ah, no. It’s not something I said to Sir Mihail.”
‘Hey, Jerome! It’s your fault!’
「What did I do! Hmph!」
This…… adorable rat that I want to bite to death.
As I was sweating and pondering how to fix this, Mihail made a forlorn expression like a wet puppy.
“……No. I have nothing to say even if the Duke of Keaton asks me if I’m crazy. Even though I guessed that the Pope was not a person with proper sexual orientation, I didn’t stop it until it came to this.”
It was Mihail who was digging and crawling into a hole without me saying anything.
‘Hey, if I keep my mouth shut, can I just pass this?’
So I stayed quiet, and Mihail continued his confession, washing his face.
“I am always one step behind. Whether in the past or now…… since nothing has changed, I must be in this predicament.”
‘Does that mean that being with me now is a predicament?’
「It seems so?」
‘Shut your mouth…….’
While regretting that I couldn’t punch the cunning Jerome, I felt a gaze.
It was Mihail.
“What is it? If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
“……I have a request for the Duke.”
“What is it?”
As I leaned my arms on the office desk and met his clear skyblue eyes, Mihail slowly bowed.
And he did so politely.
“Whether it’s a barn or anywhere, please let me stay at the Duke of Keaton’s residence for a while. I will pay the price. Since they say that sacred power is effective against these mistaken things called zombies, I will be quite a useful force.”
Mihail’s robust shoulders trembled.
Being abandoned by the temple he believed in seemed to be a significant shock.
Even in his resigned voice, depression was felt.
……But he’s the strongest Paladin.
With pity, I emphasized my words.
“You have to speak correctly.”
“How can I what here…….”
“Sir Mihail. This is not a request but a deal. A deal made by betting you as a force.”
I spoke calmly. In my head, the calculation was already over.
‘It’s good for me.’
What a windfall.
For me, who had received a quest of extreme difficulty to defeat zombies to return home, Mihail rolling in was nothing short of a boon.
Although he’s not a comfortable opponent as a submale lead of the original work, I needed excellent forces to survive in a zombie apocalypse.
Mihail, the strongest Paladin, was more than a suitable candidate.
So it was the right choice to promise him the best treatment and equal status, to capture him, even though he was already abandoned by the temple.
So that he could stick to my side even if the temple priests looked for Mihail again.
“A deal…… you say?”
“Yes, a deal.”
Luckily, the place where we were conversing was the office.
I opened one drawer and took out a paper.
And then, with a pen dipped in ink, the terms of the contract were written.
“This must be done for certain. Let’s see, Sir will lend me power, and in return, I provide a place to sleep.”
The contract written in one stroke was handed to Michael.
Michael couldn’t hide his astonished expression as he looked at the contract I offered.
“Your Grace…”
“What is it?”
“Isn’t the condition too generous? Even among the guest rooms of Your Grace, the ‘Room of the Sky’ is the finest.”
The Room of the Sky.
Built only of blue marble, and said to be blessed by angels, this room had a beauty that drew admiration from anyone who entered.
The room, filled with the highestquality white furniture that resembled clouds, had only accommodated distinguished guests.
“It’s the next best room after the Duke and Duchess’s. Now, that place is where Sir Michael will stay.”
Michael’s expression became blank.
“This is… too much.”
“It’s not too much. Obtaining someone as skilled as Sir Michael is no easy task.”
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.”
