“Do you really want to see?”
At his descending voice, Atia blinked rapidly, as if flustered.
The moment Atia was about to ask what he meant, his gaze was directed downwards.
As if he was about to take off his pants right there.
‘This is trouble.’
Atia thought he was aroused by the words she carelessly blurted out.
She seemed slightly angry.
‘No, maybe it’s a good thing.’
She had stimulated him, who was usually stoic towards her body.
It could have been an opportunity for her to look at her own body?
“If you’re okay with it, would you like to exercise with me, Duke?”
In the slightly awkward atmosphere, Atia quickly changed the subject.
Atia thought it would be good if Casus participated in rehabilitation exercises at this chance.
“What?”
“If you’re interested, let me know. I’ll guide you.”
Instead of answering, Casus briefly raised the corner of his mouth.
He hesitated as he was about to step forward, then narrowed his eyebrows with a stern face.
‘He’s still bothered by it.’
The rose scent that stimulated his sense of smell.
It was like she had soaked in bathwater until her body was fragrant, not even washing after training, but from early in the morning.
Casus frowned deeply and turned to look at Atia.
If she was going to be so cautious, she should have refrained from coming to the training field.
Yet, he couldn’t tell Atia, who had confidently taken the test and entered the training field, to leave.
“Huh.”
Casus closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts for a moment.
Facing Atia in the training field from early morning seemed to cause a headache that didn’t exist before.
Moreover, he had to bear the pitying gazes of the knights.
It was a concerned look for a man’s pride.
He gave up his plan to quietly train in the field and moved to his office.
[This is the time separator]“I was going to loosen up my body for the first time in a while.”
Upon arriving at his office, Casus took off his coat and tried to sit on the chair.
But at that moment.
The words Atia had said ransacked his mind.
‘Duke, don’t you feel pain when you sit on the chair?’
‘Don’t you feel a tingling sensation from your waist down?’
‘If you touch it, it’ll be hard and hurt a lot, right?’
Unknowingly, Casus straightened his posture.
Then, he felt each of the areas that Atia had mentioned.
In the process of slowly touching his body, he felt an area that was hard and lumped together. It was a place where the pain was numbed and then worsened again.
“How did she know.”
Even if he was Casus, it was difficult to completely ignore the intermittent pain that came when he was sitting and working.
He had secretly prescribed and taken painkillers, but the effect was minimal.
“…….”
While massaging his waist with his hand, Casus cleared his throat and looked around.
Then, without sitting down, he threw his gaze at the pile of documents while standing as he was.
Among them was a document related to land investment that had been troubling him for a while.
‘Has the result already come out?’
Casus picked up that document and looked into the fine print.
Casus’s pupils suddenly dilated.
“…….”
It was information that the Crown Prince had bought the Barrell area, which was rumored to have golden yolks.
Originally, the priority of investment was with Casus.
But because of Atia’s suggestive words, he had not yet invested in Barrell.
Drone and Oasis, which he had been considering as an alternative, were also preempted by other nobles.
‘The Barrell looks flashy on the outside, but if you look into it, it’s empty. I don’t know who started the rumor that it has gold, but if you dig a hundred times, there will be nothing.’
Casus sent an informant to verify the words that Atia had said.
As a result, he found out that it was unclear where the rumor that Barrell was made of gold came from.
Still, the fact that Barrell, which he had expected to be the best land, would go into the hands of the Crown Prince.
At some point, the royal family began to subtly alienate the Duke of Wellington by joining hands with other nobles.
In a way that was ambiguous to refute.
‘It’s ridiculously childish.’
They didn’t invite only the Wellington family to the banquet or send them an invitation to the hunting party. Sometimes they would demean the family’s reputation amongst the nobles.
It had been of the level of a child’s play, so it was ignored until now.
However, the pressure was gradually intensifying recently.
Even if a firstrate informant was hired, it was impossible to know what the royal family was up to behind the scenes.
Hence, these were the days when they needed to be observed more cautiously.
“5th, invest in Neiphet.”
“Although it is a wasteland now, many things including jewels are buried in that land. I hope you, the Duke, will be the first to recognize its true value.”
But the Neiphet region was a wasteland.
She couldn’t simply buy a wasteland based solely on her words.
Therefore, Casus did not invest anywhere.
Then, the Crown Prince, like a ghost, sniffed out the golden egg and intercepted the Barrel land.
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.”
