“……!”
The tension suddenly lifted.
Hades Croitner had trusted me without a single piece of evidence.
This fact alone felt like I had gained a million troops.
“I thought you wouldn’t believe me.”
I mumbled blankly.
If I had known Hades would believe me so easily, I wouldn’t have even attempted the precarious tightrope walk with Schizein.
“Because there’s no evidence.”
Hades lowered his head.
“I know you. That’s enough.”
A strange expression surfaced on his sculpted face.
“Wandering aimlessly around the castle in the middle of the night is something you would do.”
His deep amethyst eyes stared straight at me.
“But from now on, you can’t.”
My head went blank for a moment.
“……Are you saying not to come looking for you like this?”
Hades’s brows narrowed.
“I meant to say, stop wandering around fearlessly, holy lady.”
Although the changed form of address bothered me, I was discussing my future actions, so I didn’t have time to consider why.
“I was planning to be careful anyway.”
“Being careful is not enough.”
Hades still did not take his eyes off my face.
I tried to avoid his gaze slightly, but his eyes followed me, and it was of no use.
Hades took his eyes off me and let out a small sigh.
“……I always think this, but you’re too fearless.”
“Being fearful is not a good thing, is it?”
“I never said it was bad.”
Hades responded firmly.
“But now it’s different. I know Schizein well. He’s not someone who speaks lightly.”
“Okay. From now on, wherever I go, I will be escorted by Sir Tobias… huh?”
I frowned.
Hades gave a snort of laughter, and it wasn’t a laugh that seemed amusing.
“He’s already failed to protect you. I can’t trust him further.”
“I don’t like Sir William.”
I answered quickly. Sir William was still deeply wary of me.
Unlike Tobias, whom I could deal with comfortably, I wouldn’t be able to speak a word to him with ease.
“Don’t worry. It’s someone else.”
“Who?”
I tilted my head. Was there a skilled person next to Sir Tobias and Sir William in the knights?
“Me.”
“……What?!”
I was so surprised that I cried out, and Hades’s face turned serious.
“Do you hate it that much?”
“No, no, not that, but…”
“If you’re with me, you won’t get those useless misunderstandings, nor will you receive those unfunny threats.”
“But Your Highness cannot always follow me around.”
Hades laughed. This time, it was a laugh that seemed half sincere.
“Of course not.”
“What does that mean…”
Hades took my hand and looked into my eyes.
“It means I want you always by my side to protect you.”
His low voice tickled my ears.
“Day and night.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Holy lady, things are going really well for you!”
The happiest about the news was Amy.
“His Highness is certainly smitten with you, no doubt about it.”
“Haha, ha…….”
I let out a lifeless laugh.
From Amy’s reaction, it seemed that this incident would not simply pass as ‘the Duke has so favored the government official that he took her into his room.’
“I’ve never heard of such a thing! From what I hear…”
I was curious about what would come next, but I did not hear it.
Hades, who had gone to order the servants waiting for the butler, returned.
“It would be best to move the necessary items now.”
“There’s not much. Ah, maybe some clothes.”
“I’ll take care of all the clothes.”
Amy answered quickly, and Hades took out a pocket watch from his pocket.
“Then, may I leave now?”
“Yes.”
I rose from my seat. I had always bid farewell to Hades in my room, but following him now felt strange.
“…To the conference room?”
Walking for a while, I noticed something strange. Hades was heading towards the conference room, not his office.
“Is there a place to wait outside?”
If not, one could be made.
With a command, one could lie on a soft sofa and enjoy various refreshments.
“That wouldn’t be bad either.”
The conference room we finally arrived at was much more magnificent than what I had seen in the game.
In the center, a huge table was placed, and the abundance of chairs seemed enough to seat all the ministers of the dukedom and then some.
“Come to think of it, I only saw its destroyed state in the game.”
What happened in the conference room before the protagonist’s party arrived, only destroyed furniture and bloodsmeared walls were left.
But now, this appearance…
“Sit down.”
I blinked. Hades had pulled out a chair and tapped my shoulder.
“May I sit here?”
Hades looked at me as if I had said something strange.
“Of course. Did you think I would have you stand behind me? Like a new servant?”
“Not that, but… I thought I should be outside. I’m not participating in the conference, am I?”
“You are.”
“…What?”
“Did you think I would leave you defenseless throughout the conference?”
Hades’s voice was full of disbelief.
“They will all dislike it.”
“They might.”
Hades agreed.
“But no one can deny that you have the right to participate in the conference.”
“Because I’m favored by Your Highness?”
“No.”
Hades shook his head.
“Because you saved us from the demons.”
“…Ah.”
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.”
