“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“The Emperor has issued a new decree. He says everything depends on you. So, it would be wise for you to come to your senses. I did say those words, but…”
He hesitated, looking at me with pity.
“Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?”
Tesslo still thought his mistakes weren’t a big deal.
“You haven’t made such a big mistake. Well, that’s a matter for you to think about. I came here today to make a deal with you.”
“A deal…?”
“There’s something I’m curious about.”
At my sudden words, he blinked slowly.
“Why all of a sudden…”
Perhaps he thought I was going to talk about his sins. I looked at Ken instead.
It was an expression conveying the desire to talk with Tesslo alone. Ken understood and stepped aside, and I approached the bars.
“Tesslo. Do you know a magician named Rediac?”
“Why are you suddenly talking about that…”
“I’m the one asking questions. You just need to answer.”
“…I know. If it’s about a magician, there’s no way I wouldn’t know their name. Whether it’s for a good reason or a bad one.”
His voice sank at the mention of something unrelated to him. Despite still being an unpleasant voice and face, I suppressed my emotions as much as possible.
“Okay. Then, what about Phepectra Gelus?”
“…That person…”
“Your ancestor, right? Tesslo Gelus.”
“Why are you suddenly talking about that?”
“I said I’m the one asking questions.”
Anyway, this stubborn pig-headedness. Whether his ears have become fat or he still thinks he’s a high-ranking demon. He is earnestly protesting against my words.
“… If you provide information about him, I’ll make things favorable for you.”
“Favorable for me.”
“I’ll make it favorable for you.”
“Advantageous for me. Even though I have nothing but disadvantages. Why should I do as you please when I have nothing to gain?”
Tesslo shook his head in a shaky manner. He looked at me as if I were a fool.
“… Fine. Do as you please. I don’t owe you anything for trying to be considerate.”
“Even though you’ve done something wrong, just this much is appreciated; that’s the judgment you should make. But it seems you still haven’t come to your senses.”
“Are you trying to give me advice? Is it acceptable for someone who came to make a deal with me to behave like this?”
Nodding, I clapped my hands.
“Of course, it’s acceptable. Misunderstandings aside, the information you have isn’t anything extraordinary. I just found you through the quickest route, and there will undoubtedly be information about Rediac. And if it doesn’t exist…”
“If it doesn’t?”
“Well, after you’re punished, I’ll check those who came from your lineage. Anyway, everything will be confiscated.”
I smiled brightly at him.
I boldly announced my intention to steal.
“W-What is this…”
“Ah, as I said earlier, your life is in my hands. It’s as I said. If the Emperor punishes you, you should know that it won’t be easy to get through. The Emperor enacted laws with the hope that children would grow up in a childlike manner.”
“…”
“If you follow the law, you’ll face a moderate punishment. Exploiting and abusing children.”
His expression quickly darkened.
“E-Exploiting and abusing…!”
“So if the Emperor punishes you, you’ll have nothing to say, even if you die.”
Whether Tesslo thought lightly of his own sins or not, he lowered his head without reservation.
“But the demon world will be different. The more severe your punishment, the more they will publicize their own sins, and they will try to end it roughly by driving you out.”
It was the same in the past. Despite making a lot of money in the novel, Tesslo, who was not held accountable for major sins, was simply expelled. This time too, giving the demons a choice would likely result in the same.
‘Of course, somehow he will receive the appropriate punishment.’
Anyway, for now, getting what I wanted through him was a top priority.
“…”
“So, in reality, you had no choice. If you help me, I’ll easily obtain the information. And as a reward, I can ensure you face punishment from the demons. On the other hand, if you don’t help, you’ll receive a moderate sentence from the Emperor, and I’ll find the information I want from the confiscated property. How about it? It’s quite straightforward, isn’t it?”
Smiling at him as he only muttered, I found it bothersome. This human was so foolish that I had to explain each point one by one.
As expected, until now, he seemed not to understand my words, but belatedly, as if he understood, he blinked his eyes.
“Now, keep in mind that your life is in my hands. Tesslo, since you refused, you’ll face the punishment that the Emperor decrees. Well then.”
I quickly rose from the crouched position I was in. My head spun for a moment, and everything became blurry. Ken, who had hurriedly come over, grabbed my body.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, I’m fine. I think I got dizzy when I stood up after sitting for a moment.”
“Your face turned pale.”
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.”
