“What a pitiable expression for someone who couldn’t die.”
Clodel was taken aback.
A pitiable expression for not being able to die. What kind of remark was that? Naturally, it’s better to be alive if one can be.
Assuming it doesn’t involve pain.
“No, that’s not it. I’m just surprised to be alive.”
“Surprised to be alive?”
“Thinking I was dead, but why.”
“I can’t listen any further.”
Caiyan told Hannah.
“Listening to your master, it seems like she’s talking nonsense just like before she collapsed. It doesn’t seem like she’s lost her mind, though. Go and fetch a doctor.”
Hannah had a face of pure joy.
“Yes, my lord.”
After she received the order and went to call the butler, Caiyan sat back down in his chair.
“You’re not going to die. I won’t leave you to that fate.”
“Why? I’m a Belmonte.”
Caiyan looked at her with displeasure.
“I can’t allow a stain on my life. Do I look like someone who would carry the disgrace of burying a bride only three months after marriage?”
So, it seemed he didn’t exactly save her for her sake.
But still, he had treated her somehow.
Clodel felt light, not having been pain-free for so long, as if her mind had sprouted wings.
Her body and mind were light and clear, devoid of any thoughts.
Too moved to even express it as happiness.
“Thank you.”
“That’s as far as my leniency goes. Don’t even think about using your illness as an excuse to laze around my castle acting like the lady of the house.”
Clodel quickly nodded.
Incredible!
She could move her head up and down without coughing.
Just then, Hannah, the butler, and the doctor entered the bedroom.
Seeing Clodel sitting up, the doctor looked pleased.
“Oh, you’ve finally awakened. We were worried since you hadn’t regained consciousness.”
“Really? How long have I been lying down?”
“Three days before taking the medicine, and then it took a day to prepare the medicine after the lord brought it. Then you were bedridden for another ten days.”
Hannah intercepted the doctor’s words.
“Two weeks.”
“Two weeks?”
“But after taking the medicine, you improved significantly. You barely coughed and breathed easily.”
“I see.”
The medicine was brought by him?
Clodel tried to look at Caiyan again, but he was already gone.
The recovery was smooth and rapid.
Before lunch, Clodel practiced walking around the spacious bedroom.
The wounds from the crocodile bite had healed cleanly, leaving only scars as if pink petals had fallen, without the need to unwrap the bandages. Initially, she couldn’t walk properly, but after recovering from the Hertzel, she had been bedridden and lacked strength for the first few days, slowly regaining her energy.
Not only did her chest pain disappear, but her legs also felt better. When she lifted the blanket, the bandages were already unwrapped, and her condition was better than expected.
“I think I can stop practicing now.”
“Still. It’s good to practice to know if it’s really okay.”
Hannah’s eyes sparkled as she watched Clodel walking steadily and slowly without limping.
“That medicine was such a great elixir.”
The doctor thought that the improvement in her legs was probably due to the heart of a baby wild buffalo, a powerful remedy that Caiyan had obtained.
The wounded area wasn’t circulating well, but the medicine had improved the blood circulation or something, Hannah excitedly chattered on.
“Lord Caiyan is really a good person.”
“Hannah, since when did you start calling the Duke ‘Lord’?”
Hannah’s eyes turned into sharp triangles.
“I will now serve Temnes. The Duke of Belmonte who made you like this is now no better than my enemy. To be able to pursue personal grudges and the honor of my family at the same time, the castle of Rowen is the best workplace.”
Hannah, who seemed to have a lot of grievances against Caiyan, was completely loyal to him after Clodel woke up.
“In comparison, how wonderful and excellent Lord Caiyan is. Oh, if only Miss had seen it herself. It’s a pity you were unconscious.”
Like how Caiyan looked at Clodel with a longing voice saying, ‘Clodel, open your eyes,’ or how he carefully laid her on the bed as if handling something precious when she collapsed.
‘If I can’t find it, who can!’ he had said.
Of course, the subject wasn’t Clodel but the medicine. He believed no one else but Oberon could obtain a buffalo’s heart if he couldn’t. He was a man too proud of himself.
And what was it he said last?
Something like, ‘Hannah. Protect my wife while I’m away. You’re the only one I trust with Clodel,’ he had instructed Hannah, who was determined to get the medicine herself.
Anyway, Clodel had heard this story from Hannah multiple times after regaining consciousness and overcoming the illness, but she couldn’t believe it.
To Hannah, who loved Clodel so much, Caiyan saving her held great significance, so he seemed glorified in her eyes.
Hannah wouldn’t think he saved her just to avoid the disgrace of his marriage ending in failure.
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.”
