Eventually, shocking news was delivered to Heathcliff, who had turned away from the steps leading to the Yellow Palace and returned to the Prince’s Palace.
“What? Mother is hiding? When did she hide her presence?”
“As far as we can confirm, it seems to have been about an hour ago.”
“If it’s that hour…”
It was when Heathcliff was about to head to the Yellow Palace.
‘No way.’
An unreasonable hypothesis came to his mind.
‘Could it be that they know I was heading to the Yellow Palace and came back?’
An hour ago, if Heathcliff had continued on to the Yellow Palace, he would have met Greta. However, overwhelmed by fear, Heathcliff turned his steps, and Greta disappeared. Disappointed that Heathcliff, who did not come to meet her, Greta might have hidden herself.
‘If it’s not that you’re disappointed in me, that’s a problem in itself.’
Heathcliff, reminded of the words of Hopeland Changeback, the Count of Everrium, clenched his chest with a sinking heart. Although he wanted to think of something else, the sense of horror overwhelmed Heathcliff like a snowball.
‘Are… you abandoning me?’
Heathcliff, left alone in the imperial city, has nothing he can do without Greta.
In today’s meeting, the deputies who did not dare to speak a word in front of Greta did not raise their voices. If it weren’t for selling Yulian, Heathcliff would have undoubtedly been swayed by the breath of the deputies throughout the meeting.
‘In the meantime, now I have to wait for death without moving a finger.’
Heathcliff, who dismissed the servant, approached the window and bit his thumbnail. Unlike Heathcliff’s heart pounding with fear, the view outside was no different from usual, unaffected by the storm.
Meanwhile, near the border of the Solzerion Empire. A person with a thick hood turned inside out was stabbing the dry earth with her nose.
After a few hours of tormenting only the muddy ground.
“What… where are you going?”
Among the passing carriages that only stared at her strangely, one carriage finally stopped.
The carriage driver, who looked like a good person, was both wary and worried about the unfamiliar woman. The woman, whose face was not visible even though the hood was pressed too deep, whispered to the carriage driver. Her small moving lips were vividly red as if soaked in blood.
“There… it’s the way I’m going. Get on. It’s not safe for a woman to be alone in a place like this.”
The woman thanked him and whispered after getting on the baggage carriage. The carriage started moving again. The security guard, who had been watching the sound of the rattling carriage, tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“Hey, that carriage over there. Isn’t it Hansen’s?”
“Oh, right.”
“But why are they going that way? I clearly heard they were going to Elda earlier.”
“Yes, I heard it too. But there…”
“Come to think of it, there was one order that came down earlier.”
“Yes, it’s a secret order from Prince to investigate quietly. About an hour ago, Princess Hwangbi hid her appearance. Only inform those involved and search quietly.”
“Well, it doesn’t concern us. What’s the difference between the capital and here? Magic isn’t just any magic; you’d need extraordinary magic to get here in such a short time.”
The guard casually spoke and gestured to move the baggage carriage inward.
Thud, thud, thud…
The carriage, neither slow nor fast, soon arrived at the Heben Kingdom trading post. However, the carriage did not stop there and crossed the Heben Kingdom border without any permits.
The strange thing was that no one stopped the shabby carriage. It was just very natural and effortless for the carriage to be welcomed.
The place they arrived at was the deepest part of the rugged Gellington Forest, known as one of the roughest places even in the Heben Kingdom. Due to the forest’s unique gloominess, people in the Heben Kingdom were reluctant to set foot there, even in broad daylight.
In other words, it was a place where people rarely lived, but the road the carriage was traveling on was well-maintained.
The carriage continued along that road for quite a while.
Clack, clack, clack.
The crows above were eerily cawing, and the sound of leaves brushing against the wind was unnaturally unsettling. With such an atmosphere, even the words seemed uneasy, and the driver kept moving inward as if possessed by something.
They went in for quite some time like that.
“Stop.”
A thin voice echoed from inside the carriage. It was the woman who had boarded the carriage earlier. As soon as her command was heard, the carriage, which seemed like it would never stop, came to a halt.
The sound of horses trampling anxiously was heard as the horses stopped in the middle of the forest. The woman, who had pressed her hood deeply, got off the carriage. As she did, the eyes of the driver, which had been hazy as he looked around, immediately gained vitality.
“Where is this…”
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.”
