The calm voice felt distant, and Prince Carson von Raymond momentarily tilted his head. He continued to stand without offering a seat, staring in silence for a long time, but she was not at all flustered.
“The pain must be severe, yet you do not bend your leg.”
“This much is bearable.”
Prince Carson von Raymond was of royal blood, but he was not one who grew up gently. He had traveled countless places and experienced everything that could be experienced. Naturally, he had suffered many wounds, and often saw others who had been wounded.
The injury he saw on Ines was not something that would recover in a mere week, so the noble young lady could bear it.
Her body and soul seemed as if they were not of one person. That was the source of the discomfort he felt.
Carson straightened his tilted head and offered her a seat. He took a seat on the sofa first, and as Ines sat facing him, a maid came to fill their cups.
“Thank you, Emma.”
The moment Ines whispered softly, Carson’s movement to lift his cup stopped. Suddenly surprised, he raised his head, and the flustered face of the maid who was pouring the tea appeared.
The maid called Emma quickly composed her expression and continued to pour the tea into her cup, then stepped back.
The face of Ines, who had actually called the name, was expressionless.
Carson, judging that there were no ears to hear close by, glanced at her complexion and said,
“You even know the name of the maid in my residence.”
Ah, she briefly sighed, then promptly smiled softly. But internally, she was quite flustered.
Emma was the maid who had taken care of her the day Ines stayed at his residence. Her face had become younger, but her gentle appearance remained the same, so Ines inadvertently called her by name.
At that time, she felt warmth for the first time in a long while thanks to Emma. And from Emma, she was able to learn that Randhill had been integrated into Lusonia.
“I heard someone else calling her.”
“I see.”
Carson did not yet know the name of the maid just called Emma. He only knew that she was a maid working in the main house. Therefore, it was not easily believable that Ines, who had only been staying in the guest room, heard her name.
“I heard her calling me.”
“Yes.”
Carson had not visited Ines even once since seeing her that day in the room. And she, too, without a word, had been waiting for his disposition.
“Is your body feeling better?”
“Yes, it’s very good. And please lower your voice. I don’t know what to do with myself when I hear you.”
According to Noah, she had asked only one question when she called someone. It was whether the imprisoned woman in the basement was still there.
She should have asked about her own physical condition since she had suffered a significant injury. But according to the doctor, she was very insensitive to her pain.
“Let’s do that the next time we meet.”
She nodded slightly in agreement. Her faint smile suited her very well as a woman.
“Am I going back home now?”
Since there was no evidence of any suspicions over the past time, he could not keep her here any longer. Even if she knew the name of a maid in his residence that she did not know herself, nothing would change.
“Yes.”
“Ah……”
Carson thought that she would be very happy to go home. But the youthful emotion on Ines’s face was clearly disappointment.
Lost in thought, she chewed her unfortunate lower lip. Carson momentarily felt the urge to reach out and pull her lip out.
“First……”
As he relaxed the hand holding his tea cup and started to speak, her green eyes sparkled brightly. It made him feel very strange.
“It seems I need to express my thanks.”
As Carson rose from his seat, Ines stood up as well. He bowed his upper body slightly, showing the highest courtesy that royalty could offer.
“Thank you for saving the life of my only sibling.”
The royal family member straightened up, and Ines bowed even deeper to receive his salute.
“To the glory of the Keinz Empire…….”
As if it were arranged, the two sat down again in their places.
“My apologies for the delay in expressing my gratitude, as matters were not wrapped up.”
As he finished speaking, a young man who appeared to be an aide came forward with a document, upon his gesture.
“I understand.”
Carson turned the document received from Noah so that Ines could easily see it and pushed it forward.
The Keinz Empire was obliged to bestow a set reward to the one who had saved the life of the royal family.
“You’ll see when you read it, but you can choose what you need the most…….”
“I want…….”
But Carson’s words were cut off by Ines. There were various rewards specified by the law. Since it was a reward for saving the country in a wartime situation and choosing the Patriot Medal, there was not a single one who made a decision on the spot.
“I want immunity.”
Immunity was the least popular of the rewards.
“Immunity?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Carson laughed a little in disbelief.
What nobleman would predict the crime he was going to commit and seek pardon for that crime?
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.”
