Parnes remained unflinching even with the huge wild wolf before him, casually stroking its head. The wolf, apparently submissive to him, rubbed its nose against him while closing its eyes.
“I was about fifteen. It suddenly attacked and bit my arm. After I stabbed it in the shoulder a few times, it became docile.”
That’s insane.
Who tames a ferocious beast at such a young age if not out of madness?
Trying to maintain a composed smile, Shallen stepped back.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. Kasalyn is not as pure as you think. It’s not beneficial for you to be close to her.”
Parnes’s hand, stroking the wolf’s fur, froze at these words.
A sinister silence filled the grey forest.
“She’s not pure.”
Parnes murmured, his eyes losing focus, appearing chilling.
Shallen felt a cold shiver down his neck but believed he could persuade Parnes, given their similar life experiences.
“Yes, you don’t know her true nature.”
“How can you be so confident about her nature when humans don’t even fully understand their own?”
“I’ve known her for a long time.”
Shallen was tempted to reveal everything about his past relationship with Kasalyn.
That he dated her for ten years, shared passionate love numerous times, and was the first in everything for her.
“You don’t know the secretive side of Kasalyn, which I am fully aware of.”
Shallen wanted to say this confidently, but he refrained because of the unusual and ominous atmosphere surrounding Parnes.
Shallen lowered his voice and continued, “Kasalyn is cunning. Her affection towards you is purely for the position and wealth of the Emperor. Don’t be fooled by her deception. I am sincerely advising you.”
“She deceives me, you say.”
Parnes murmured as if he understood.
Encouraged by a hint of persuasion, Shallen eagerly nodded.
“How surprising.”
Parnes reflected on the image of Kasalyn he had observed quietly. A person whose only hobby, if not occupied, was to sit in a quiet garden and read a book. Someone who could lead a lavish life yet harbored deep loneliness and wounds. Nonetheless, she never complained and always gave her best in her duties. The idea that her smiles, sometimes childlike, were to deceive him was astonishing.
“Do you know what kind of food she likes?”
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Shallen narrowed his eyes.
“Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”
Upon reflection, Shallen’s words trailed off, realizing he had never paid much attention to her culinary preferences.
“It didn’t seem important. Despite her appearance, she has the taste of a child. She detests green beans and broccoli but enjoys sweet fruits, especially apples dipped in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, making her cheeks blush.”
“…”
“Don’t you find it strange? You claim to have known her for a long time, yet I seem to know more about her.”
Parnes, with his hands casually in his pockets, slowly walked closer. The overwhelming presence felt like a massive rock or an ancient tree looming over Shallen, making his breathing slightly rough.
“Listen, Your Majesty. Even if Kasalyn is indeed deceiving me, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Parnes continued in a deep, resonant voice, like a sound rumbling from the ocean’s depths.
“If it’s her temptation, I’m willing to fall for it at least once.”
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.”
