Carson, turning his back, felt the stares pouring from around him and chuckled softly. At the last banquet, he danced with her alone. And now, he was in the midst of taking her to his seat himself.
Perhaps no one could stop the rumors spreading about the two of them anymore. Nevertheless, Carson had no hesitation.
He wasn’t exactly sure what his feelings were towards her, but one thing had become certain after seeing her again.
There was no woman in the world who stirred his curiosity as much as Ines Swelden.
As Carson brought her back to their seats, a few quickwitted individuals immediately stood up to make room for Ines. As he seated her right next to him and took his seat, the people’s eyes followed them, as if it was only natural.
Carson wondered about Ines’s feelings at this moment. She too must have known well how this situation would appear to others. Yet, she neither agreed nor disagreed but simply complied.
“Rest for a moment. There’s still some time until the trumpet sounds.”
But it didn’t matter to him. Ines was a woman who never wavered in any situation. Just because she didn’t show her feelings towards him didn’t mean there was nothing there.
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Carson smiled slightly at the woman, who spoke these mismatched words with an unemotional expression. Perhaps there was nothing in this world that could disturb her.
‘Yes, you are that kind of woman.’
Even his younger brother followed her, so it seemed good to put her name first on Noah’s list.
Ines, not imagining what Carson was thinking, looked up at the sky for a moment.
A comfortable temperature, occasional blowing wind, and the person next to her.
It felt so peaceful that it almost didn’t seem real. A quick glance to the side and she saw Louis reaching for snacks again.
“Would you like to eat some fruit instead of snacks?”
As the child nodded, Ines picked the prettiest fruit and brought it to Louis’s mouth. Like he had done it all his life, he opened his mouth wide to receive the food that Ines offered.
“Oh, my! You there!”
Just then, the voice of the former Lady of the Province was heard greeting someone. Reflexively looking up, Ines saw an unbelievable person standing there. Her hand started to tremble.
“Your Highness, this is the young man I just told you about.”
Light brown hair, black eyes. A slightly taller frame than others, a thin body, and at a glance, an incredibly innocent appearance.
“This is the newlytitled Viscount Jemerun Winningston.”
It was definitely that demon, Jemerun.
As he slithered closer, Ines moved back, the chair scraping loudly. She suddenly stood up, knocking over the tableware, the sound of metal clashing sharply echoing through the forest.
‘Do you think you can escape me by leaving here?’
The voice from the last day in Romfield, when he grabbed her hair and shouted, rang clearly in her ears.
Carson tried to follow her up and grab her arm, but Ines violently brushed it away, stepping back again.
‘I’ll chase you to the ends of hell. Huh? You hear me?’
Jemerun, still smiling, watched her. His face seemed to grow and shrink as it overlapped with a phantom.
“Lady Swelden?”
Carson’s calling sounded distant, but she couldn’t tear her eyes from Jemerun, consumed by fear.
As Jemerun tilted his head with a still smiling face, terror deepened in Ines’s eyes.
Suddenly, a large figure blocked her view. Her breath rushed in as her vision was obstructed.
“Lady Jefferson!”
At Carson’s shout, Lady Jefferson sprang from her seat.
“I’m not in the mood for greetings now. Take the author and vacate the seat right now.”
Noah, who had been watching the hunt from a distance, came running to them as the commotion grew. As he quickly dispersed the people’s gaze, Prince Carson von Raymond took Ines into a tent set aside nearby.
Ines closed her eyes, trying to face the situation she was experiencing. But even after she caught her breath and her vision cleared, knowing where she was, it wouldn’t subside easily.
As she continued to gasp, her body began to feel numb and paralyzed.
“Heuk, heuk.”
It was an annoyingly loud breath, but there was no other way right now.
“Can you hear me?”
At Carson’s question, she nodded her head.
“Do you know who I am?”
Again, Ines nodded. Carson knelt and took off her boots, and immediately took off her jacket tailored to fit her body.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment but unbuttoned a few buttons of the shirt that was pressing her chest.
When he reached for the buckle to take off her pants, Ines grabbed his hand.
“Now, now it’s okay.”
Her breath had not completely returned, but her mind was clear. She gave strength to her pupils to reassure him.
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes, asthma, just a mild symptom of asthma.”
“I will call the doctor.”
“No, I know my disease well. I will be completely fine if I rest a little.”
Ines fumbled over her symptoms and replayed the unbelievable situation she had just witnessed.
Zemuren, Zemuren.
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.”
