“If you’re so confidently demanding that, can I take it to mean that you will work as hard as Michael, with whom I have a temporary employment relationship?”
Chills.
‘What, what is this?’
Ruth was a magician with keen intuition.
The goosebumps that rose in an instant warned her that if she answered wrongly, she would have dug her own grave.
But her treacherous mouth did not move as she wished.
“Of, of course.”
She felt as if she would lose to Michael if she said no here.
And it seemed like she would lose the excuse to force herself to accept the indulgence she had just forced out.
Hehehe. Elizabeth let out a displeasing laugh.
It was the same laugh as when her biological father, the Tower Master, enticed Ruth into training disguised as practice.
“Is that so? That’s good. There’s something for which Lady Ruth can pay me handsomely in kind. I was wondering how to approach you first… Let’s consider it a deal, and feel free to think about it. Hehehe.”
‘What, what is she trying to make me do?’
Ruth didn’t know. Elizabeth Keaton planned to make full use of him as he was proficient in all kinds of magic.
In other words, Ruth couldn’t even imagine that she saw him as something to be rolled around here and there like a universal key.
“See you later, then. There are many places where I need Lady Ruth’s help.”
“Yes, yes.”
‘I feel like I’m being taken advantage of…’
Ruth was uneasy, but she could not cover up the grave she had already dug.
“Please take care!”
Watching Elizabeth walk away with a beaming smile, Ruth stood in the corridor for a long time.
‘…That woman is strange.’
Ruth tried hard to ignore her throbbing heart.
Trying to forget that it was a reaction similar to when she first met Siena.
(This is a time divider.)
Returning to my office, I was busy giggling.
‘Hehehe. A ripe pumpkin has offered itself whole!’
Magician, will you not use your outstanding abilities to find precious food?
I had been puzzled about how to say this, but it worked out well.
Ruth is a noble who keeps her word even for her pride, so she will come when called.
“Hehehe.”
My food worries were lessened!
Cheering at the appearance of a living food detector, Zero wore a sour expression.
Wearing the shell of an adorable golden hamster, the possession specialist was munching on chocolate chip cookies. It was teatime, apparently.
「You don’t care at all about what that frizzy magician said earlier…?」
“Huh? What? The quarrel? Ruth, that person is a bit grumpy.”
「No, it’s not that. Go on with what you were doing.」
Resigned, Zero stuffed the cookie back into his cheek pocket. He even brought a miniature tea set used for doll play and slurped down tea.
A hamster’s fate seems better than a human’s.
“What a waste.”
I was looking at the zombie analysis report that Ruth and Michael had diligently written.
Ruth had stubbornly dug into something Zero couldn’t even accomplish in his status window and found a single clue.
It’s not due to rot, but faint traces of artificial power can be felt.
If this situation arose due to a human disaster, I suspect it may have been caused by one of two powers.
Magic and sorcery.
It wouldn’t be easy to create a largescale disaster if it wasn’t one of these two.
“One of magic and sorcery…….”
He twirled the pen in his right hand.
‘If it’s someone who uses magic, Ruse, who is likely to be the next Matop owner, may not be unaware of it.’
Is there a traitor in Matop? Is there truly someone with enough magical power to cast that difficult widearea spell?
‘If not…… could it be sorcery?’
Sorcery.
‘A Line. Flower. Road.’ Mentioned only once and ended, one of the abilities that a human born in this world can have.
Sorcery was defined as one of the five great powers, along with divinity, magic, aura, and affinity with spirits.
In the original work, the male lead candidates handled aura, divinity, magic, and spirits, so sorcery was explained only in a cursory manner, and it was not mentioned afterward, so the details were unknown.
All I knew was that it was the home ground of Quina, a tribal union country adjacent to Caladia.
I asked Zero, who was elegantly eating tea and chocolate chip cookies.
“You know, Zero.”
“Why’s that?”
Zero, who was munching on cookies until his cheeks were about to burst, truly looked like a hamster.
“You can access the status window now, right? It’s been restored?”
“Of course.”
“Then can you search if the cause of creating the zombies was due to sorcery, or perhaps magic?”
“That’s easy.”
As Zero brushed off the snack crumbs and swung his wand, a blue status window appeared in the air.
“I request a code verification.”
[CODE: NO.00000234232’s access confirmation.] [Verification of possession agency staff code, complete.] [What do you require?]“It’s a similar request to last time. Search if magic or sorcery was involved in the unidentified error of zombies in jurisdiction area SP[Dash]384723.”
The status window changed to a loading screen.
[We accept the request.] [Now Loading…….]Soon after, the result came out.
[No search results found.]Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
