With the news of Count Caletta’s death, and the suspicion that it might be a murder by an insider, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was busy running around.
The emperor met alternately with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the head of the Cabinet Noir. In fact, newspapers weren’t interested in such trivial stories. Today’s front-page article was finally about the engagement partner who appeared on the official stage with the emperor.
“Your Majesty seems very busy.”
Melfius turned his body towards Rue.
“Thanks to that, we have time to talk like this.”
Rue looked around. Dragon Lair, located in the east, was literally a sanctuary for dragons.
While the emperor was busy, they took the opportunity to teach and protect the young sage. The two momentarily entered Dragon Lair. The place where the giant dragon sleeps was close to the sea and incredibly vast. Rue looked up at the high ceiling.
“The voice echoes, making it sound loud.”
“But it won’t reach Shalea.”
“Do you know what I’m worried about?”
“Honestly, the most useless worry in the world is worrying about His Majesty the Emperor. However, young ladies newly engaged are always concerned about their fiancés.”
Rue nodded her head with a dark expression.
“It’s Hayden’s worry.”
“To be honest, the most useless worry in the world is worrying about His Majesty the Emperor. But that won’t reach the ears of the young lady who loves him. Melfius leaned toward Rue in a soundproofed space. She explained in detail when she started attacking Hayden and why.
“So far, things happened when we were alone. But what if it happens where people can see? I’m scared.”
“His Majesty will handle it perfectly. That’s not something to worry about.”
Hayden can manipulate even people’s memories if necessary. Having witnessed his bold execution and decisiveness, Melfius shook his head.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it is. Don’t you know? What is there to really worry about?”
Rue quietly bowed her head. The face of a knight. A face that does not easily waver, excite, and concerns for someone else rather than oneself. Would Hayden know that she worried about him to the point of madness? Melfius wondered.
“After attacking Hayden, I don’t remember what happened next.”
Melfius’s expression quickly hardened.
“Yes, you mentioned that.”
There was such content in the light he had given her in advance.
“I don’t remember falling after attacking him. In fact, it could happen.”
“No. Even though my vision was darkened, I remember moving. I didn’t just fall to the ground. I remained standing.”
Hayden’s words sounded like she was simply saying she ‘was unconscious,’ but it was hard to believe. He was too kind.
“Perhaps…”
Rue struggled to say something horrifying.
“While I was unconscious, Carlos might have freely manipulated my body.”
She bit her lips tightly. He could have continued to attack Hayden even after that.
“Since the second one was more serious than the first, the third one would naturally be worse.”
To have one’s body move without knowing, how terrifying. Rue shook her head. However, she quickly raised her head. It was a determined look rather than frustration.
“You’ve already made up your mind.”
Rue nodded at Melfius’s words.
“I’ll endure it. I can’t let Carlos take my body like this. And if it’s Hayden, he’ll just take all the attacks I make.”
“Did it happen again this time?”
Sighing at Melfius’s surprised question, Rue continued.
“That’s why it’s more of a problem.”
“Your Majesty is truly a handful.”
“I wish it weren’t true, but regarding this issue, there is no one who will listen to me. So, if, just if, Melfius.”
The knight who completely organized her thoughts looked calmly at the Dragon Lord.
“When something that shouldn’t happen happens, please ask.”
After thinking for a moment, Melfius asked.
“What exactly are you asking for? Not asking for the emperor. That’s impossible for me too.”
Rue smiled sadly.
“Please make me disappear well.”
“That’s impossible too.”
“If it gets worse, I have to stay away from Hayden. Every time I feel the touch of flesh that isn’t mine, I can feel Carlos’s intention. He’s even coveting Hayden’s power.”
She spoke painfully, preparing for the fear, anxiety, and the despair and loss she would experience again.
“He’s quite a character.”
“Yes. If I were the medium, Hayden would endure sacrificing quite a bit. He might not mind losing some power. But that can’t happen. Carlos is not a wizard to be underestimated, as you, Melfius, know well.”
Having faced the guy for 430 years, Melfius nodded heavily.
“Even if a little power is transferred to Carlos, the balance will be disrupted. I don’t know how Hayden acquired that power, but it must have been obtained through a bone-chilling effort. I can’t bear to see that power transferred to Carlos. If it’s my fault, I won’t be able to endure it even more.”
Rue’s eyes, as she spoke, were so swollen that tears wouldn’t come out anymore. It wasn’t a time to cry. She just had to be firm in her determination.
“Once was enough. I won’t just let that con artist destroy everything I have.”
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.”
