“However, Your Majesty, please remember the chaos in the empire when Monderai Bank was established. If the bank had been established under the name of the Swenden family, it would have been challenging to identify and remove the former Empress and those who supported her.”

Carson tried to speak in as grave a tone as possible while chewing the air as if the field itself was breathless.

“I understand, um, I understand.”

It was literally treason. Those who didn’t know the fact that Monderai in Randhill, using the enormous funds of the bank, played a crucial role in expelling the former Empress were no longer present.

Although revealed later, the fact that he made a significant contribution by using the bank’s substantial funds to oust the former Empress was well-known.

“Your Majesty, allow me.”

Manusott glared at Ines and clenched his teeth.
“I can hardly believe the words of this maid, and even if her words are true, the one who issued the decree is not just a mere woman named Ines Swenden. It is Monderai.”

It was now amusing that the name of someone who didn’t even know the proper etiquette was important, but Carson nodded.

“Well, your words make sense. But…”

While the Emperor was about to continue speaking, Ines responded first to Manusott’s words.

“Monderai is…”

“…”

“My father’s alias.”

Carson finally touched his forehead with a large hand to conceal his laughter. Biting his lower lip, he buried his body deep into the chair.

An alias, an alias.

Although an alias was not recorded anywhere in the family register, it was commonly used when conducting business or when it was impossible to reveal one’s existence.

Current nobles tended to disdainfully call the establishment of a bank by a noble as a mere money game, which led to such secrecy.

“Well, my father’s name is Andrew Monderai Swenden.”

Moreover, those who were attached to the alias didn’t want to abandon it and often used it as a middle name.

Since an alias was originally the only unique thing for a person, Monderai as a middle name wasn’t used in the generations after Andrew himself because it was natural for those directly descended from him to take the name.

“So Monderai is indeed my name.”

Manusott, as if dumbfounded, made a ‘ha’ sound and leaned his head back. However, she calmly raised her hand and called Christian.

Christian brought a thick ledger to the Emperor. Carson made an effort to maintain a stern expression while scrutinizing them.

“As you can see, these are the ledgers my father has been trading under the name Monderai.”

While the Emperor examined them, Christian distributed concise summaries to all the delegates.

It was a few years ago that Ines established Monderai Bank. The fact that she had been conducting numerous transactions under that name for quite some time now.

So, going back a few more years and leaving traces of about three transactions under the name Monderai among the family ledgers wouldn’t have been a big deal.

It seemed to be receipts from the wool business, the main business of the Ines family.

“Well, it certainly says Monderai here. So, your name must be Ines Monderai Swenden.”

“That’s correct, Your Majesty. However, my father’s alias is not recorded in the family register. Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t mean it’s not my name.”

Manusott crumpled the documents in front of him with his hand.

His actions were not appropriate in front of the Emperor, but for today, Carson decided to overlook it generously.

“I’ll concede a hundred times that Swenden Viscount used an alias. However, the fact remains that this maid standing in the chairman’s place is nothing but a mere woman. It means she dares to enter this place with a status that is not allowed.”
Ines couldn’t help but turn her gaze to Manusott.

“The Duke seems to know no epithet for a woman other than the word ‘mere.'”

The eyes that felt sharp despite the lowered gaze, the cold and slow arrogant tone, and the leisurely smiling lips that seemed to look down on everyone, all of them.

At the sight of her after a long time, a pleasant shiver ran down Carson’s spine.

“The Duke’s words are correct. I am still nothing more than a mere woman.”

When Ines sent a glance to Christian again, he quickly took out another ledger from his document bag.

It was a document containing cases of women receiving titles in the history of the Keynes Empire.

Except for cases where the title was temporarily held to be inherited by direct relatives in the absence of a male in the family, there were only four cases in total.

During that long period, only four women received titles and faced death.

Symbolic as it was, there were undoubtedly cases in the complicated and tumultuous history where women received titles.

However, the history books woven predominantly by men did not readily reveal the fact that women received titles.

In uncovering this, Casey’s help was crucial.

She had to study the empire’s history rigorously to become a palace maid.

Her father, who had hoped for her to become a maid of the Empress, emphasized women’s history, especially.

But Manusott, after seeing the documents, didn’t hide his scorn.

“But all of them were nobles, weren’t they? How can they be compared to a sinner like yourself?”

“One, they were also women.”

“…….”

“Of course, you can ridicule. Naturally, I cannot be compared to them, the sinners, I suppose.”

Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day

It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!

This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.

The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.

Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.

If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.

It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.

The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.

In the end, everything will come together and be explained.

One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!

In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.

Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.

However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.

Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.

Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?

——

Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.

His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.

Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”

——

The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.

Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!

Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!

The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…

——

But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.

The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.

She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…

Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”

Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”

Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?

[Small Theater]

The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.

Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”

Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.

Zhu Wansheng: ?

Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…

On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.

Warm breath lingers on her neck.

“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
