“Now, with just a stamp of the fake seal, the royal decree for welcoming a concubine will be complete.”
“You are right, Your Majesty. If we didn’t have it, we could have just made one… I was foolishly impatient.”
The corners of Ruans’ mouth turned up widely.
“And Ruans.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“I heard that the High Priestess will soon be visiting the Isuter Empire.”
“Really? But Your Majesty, will the High Priestess really become my empress?”
Felina nodded.
“Have you met the High Priestess before, Your Majesty?”
“I can never forget the High Priestess’ beautiful, glossy silver hair and dazzling green eyes. Above all, the beautiful flowering tree that bloomed behind the High Priestess was so beautiful that it seemed out of this world.”
“A flowering tree?”
“Only those permitted by the High Priestess can see the flowering tree. That flowering tree is the life-giving water bestowed upon the High Priestess by Goddess Ella.”
“I want to see the High Priestess and the flowering tree too.”
“Ruans.”
“Yes.”
“This mother will ask the High Priestess to show it to you. But be careful not to get too lost in that beautiful sight.”
Felina picked up the royal decree and stared intently at Ruans.
“There is no one else who can become the empress of the Isuter Empire other than the High Priestess. Think about it, Ruans. The days when the followers of the High Priestess will follow us.”
“Yes, I understand well.”
Ruans recalled Lorencia’s prophetic dream from the letter he received from Carlien.
– If you accept the High Priestess as the empress, many followers of the High Priestess will follow Your Majesty Ruans.
In other words, it meant that many people of the empire who follow the High Priestess would bow their heads before him. A satisfying future was approaching.
Honestly, more than the prophetic dream, the contents of the letter about Lorencia’s deep longing for his love and how she saw in her dream that he would welcome the High Priestess as the empress, making her feel jealous and distressed, gave Ruans a sense of satisfaction.
He was eager to quickly lock Lorencia in his room, put her to sleep on a bed only he could lie on, and when she woke up, whisper to her to tell him about the prophetic dreams.
“Mother, the monster’s prophetic dreams are unstable. So we must bring her back to the Isuter Empire quickly.”
Lorencia’s prophetic dreams change depending on the situation. So he had to somehow bring Lorencia, who was in the Poloid Empire, to him.
“I’m worried that Duke Spencer will tell some nonsense to my monster at this rate. He’s probably lying to her right now, saying she’s the daughter of Duke Di Gloston.”
“Ruans, the monster has been continuously brainwashed by us her whole life.”
“But…”
“Brainwashing is not something that breaks so easily.”
“Still, I’m worried.”
“Do you know why brainwashing doesn’t break easily? Ruans.”
Felina smiled.
“To put it negatively, it’s called brainwashing. But to put it positively, it’s called blind faith and love. The monster blindly loves and believes in Ruans. So the brainwashing instilled in the monster will never break. No matter how outstanding Duke Spencer is, it’s not easy to break the heart of a blindly devoted person.”
“That’s right. That monster was born for me.”
Ruans nodded at Felina’s words.
“It’s like a dog that Ruans has slowly imprinted as his own since childhood. It doesn’t make sense for that dog to follow someone else. As long as there is someone who feeds and raises it.”
“You are right, Your Majesty. There’s no way my monster would follow Duke Spencer, whom she’s known for less than half a year.”
There are years of history built with Lorencia. So Ruans was confident that Teishar would never be able to win even a bit of Lorencia’s heart.
“I wish Lorencia would come quickly.”
Ruans’ heart pounded at the thought of being able to meet Lorencia soon. Strangely, he couldn’t calm down.
“Mother, when will the royal decree be completed?”
“I will bring it to you tomorrow.”
“I understand. Then I will send a notice to the Di Gloston family and the Queen of the Poloid Empire that I will visit them with the royal decree.”
“Please do so.”
What kind of expression would Lorencia make when she sees him soon? If she runs to him happily and hugs him, he’ll have to pretend to lose and hug her back. If not, will she carefully approach him with a blushing face and let him hold her?
He should tell her that he missed her and shower her with words of love. He’ll inevitably have to accept the High Priestess as the empress, but his heart is with Lorencia. So he’ll say he’s welcoming her as a concubine, and Lorencia might cry with emotion, saying, “For a bastard child like me…”
“Ruans.”
“Yes.”
“Although it won’t happen, if you end up sleeping with the monster, be careful not to get her pregnant.”
“Mother, that monster hasn’t even started menstruating.”
“I really had no idea. How can she not menstruate at the age of 19 this year?”
Felina spoke with a genuinely surprised face.
“Maybe it’s because she’s a monster, Your Majesty.”
“It really seems best not to sleep with the monster.”
“That monster is short and skinny. She has no charm as a woman, so I don’t even feel like sleeping with her. You may not know how terribly ugly she is, but she looks inhuman, like a monster.”
Ruans kept Lorencia strictly confined to her room so that her body wouldn’t gain strength, feeding her only one meal of thin porridge a day to maintain her skeletal figure.
“Duke Spencer’s taste is also strange. I don’t know what he sees in such an unsightly monster to take her away.”
Ruans could not understand Teishar’s taste at all.
“Did he really take her because he likes her?”
“But the way Duke Spencer looks at Lorencia seemed genuine.”
“Ruans, you must not believe it. I taught you to be able to see the truth by doubting and doubting everything. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“There is no one in this world who will love such a monster except Ruans.”
“Your Majesty, I do not love that monster. I’m only pretending to love her.”
“Whether it’s pretense or not, if the monster felt love from Ruans, that is love. No one else can ever love that monster. Duke Spencer may be keeping her knowing that Ruans cares about that monster.”
“Hearing that, you are right, Mother.”
Ruans began to laugh with pleasure.
[This is the timeline separator]Once again, the Di Gloston family was furious because of the letter sent by Ruans.
“Lorencia, look at this.”
The letter stated that Ruans planned to visit with the royal decree. As soon as Lorencia saw the decree, she scoffed.
The seal of the Pol Heredian Count was in her hands. Teishar had taken the crows to the Pol Heredian estate and retrieved the family seal that Brant had hidden in the top room of the tower where she had been imprisoned. So the royal decree for welcoming a concubine that Ruans was bringing was a forged fake.
“It doesn’t say when Emperor Ruans will come.”
“Do you want him to come?”
Baello looked at Lorencia, unable to understand.
“Yes, I want him to come.”
Lorencia spoke sincerely.
“No, I can never send my daughter to the Isuter Empire!”
“I can’t send my little sister either, Father.”
“I will protect my fiancée.”
Teishar angrily wrapped his arm around Lorencia’s shoulder.
As a hostile atmosphere flowed between her idiot younger brother Leanid and the stubborn Teishar, Lorencia just smiled awkwardly.
“Duke Spencer, please take your hand off my little sister’s shoulder.”
Leanid glared at Teishar as he spoke. But Teishar just grinned. Naturally fitting in between the Di Gloston family members, Teishar was finding his position as Lorencia’s prospective fiancé.
Due to the letter sent by Ruans, Teishar expressed his intention to participate in the family meeting as the prospective fiancé, but Leanid opposed it.
Despite Leanid’s opposition, Teishar attended the family meeting. The reason he was able to do so was because Abrelina and Duchess Mary took his side.
No matter how much authority Leanid gained as the young duke, Abrelina and Mary had far more power in the family than him.
So Leanid couldn’t look kindly upon Teishar attending the family meeting.
From the start, Lorencia let out a small sigh at the two men’s battle of wills. It seemed neither of them had any intention of yielding to the other.
So Lorencia decided to give Teishar a bonus for retrieving the seal from the Pol Heredian estate.
When Teishar tried to sweetly coax a bonus out of her, Blondie’s dramatic appearance prevented him from claiming it himself.
Teishar was very disappointed that he couldn’t get the bonus. And he remembered Blondie’s words.
Recalling Blondie’s advice, Lorencia moved closer to Teishar. The closer she got, the more his hand on her shoulder tightened.
As Lorencia approached Teishar, Leanid furrowed his brows as if he would breathe fire from his eyes at any moment.
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.”
