Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
“Yeah. Solace was there three years ago…”
Three years ago, when hordes of monsters descended upon the western border of the Empire, dozens of villages were razed to the ground and countless civilians lost their lives.
The tale of Solace Moretti appearing at the head of the Imperial Knights and carving through and incinerating monsters as large as houses with flames fierce enough to scorch the very air—leaving mountains of corpses behind—still circulates as legend to this day.
At that time, Frost had been unable to go there, his movements restricted by the Frost Blight that had swept through the north.
“Oh, I fell for her at first sight! That was actually when I first wanted to become Emperor—because then I could keep Captain Solace always by my side. If I were you, I’d have proposed already.”
Shabelle propped her chin in her hands, her cheeks flushed pink from the heat, and grinned cheerfully.
“Solace Moretti is a woman, Your Highness. Even the sovereign of the throne couldn’t marry her.”
Frost deliberately chose not to inform that vexingly beautiful imperial prince that Solace Moretti was, in fact, female.
Though his mind reasoned it was information the future ruler had no need to know, his heart instinctively remained wary of anyone casting eyes upon what he held close.
“I’d just rewrite all the Empire’s laws then. She was a flame I wanted to hold onto at any cost.”
“…”
Frost remained silent at that point—because he himself had entertained that very thought before.
“But how could His Majesty the Emperor possibly kill Lady Moretti? Has he gone mad?”
Shabelle had anticipated the Emperor wouldn’t quietly let it go when Solace Moretti, who’d come as commander of the northern suppression forces, spared Frost—whom His Majesty had ordered to bring back her head—and simply turned her horse away.

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.”
