Yuri Hsien looked at the man in surprise as she was about to look at Ulergen again. In the man’s hand, which had been holding up his index and middle fingers a moment ago, was a crumpled piece of paper. Yuri Hsien opened her mouth wide.

“That’s! I requested it from the guild…… but how did it get in your hands……”

Yuri Hsien quickly looked back and forth between the man and the paper he was holding. The paper read: Coperador. It was the name of the guild that had investigated Ulergen’s presence here today.

‘So that means…….’

A single hypothesis flashed through Yuri Hsien’s mind. Meanwhile, the man folded Yuri Hsien’s request and put it back in his pocket.

“You trusted me enough to send the request. So trust me all the way.”

“You were…… the guildmaster of Coperador?”

Yuri Hsien asked in a desolate and dumbfounded voice. In response, the man drew a line with his attractive lips.

(This is a time separator.)

A total of four people climbed onto the carriage arranged by the Coperador Guildmaster.

Yuri Hsien, Ulergen, Andersen, and Cali, a care expert dispatched from the Coperador Guild.

Yuri Hsien gazed blankly at the scenery passing quickly outside the carriage window, pulled by two horses.

‘That he was the guildmaster…….’

Looking at the dawn breaking in the distance, she recalled her conversation with the man just a moment ago.

[Cali will help you with more than just taking care of the Duke.] [I don’t understand. Why do I need her help? I’m not that inept.] [Don’t take it so harshly. Who cares whose help it is? Isn’t it important that you can receive help?] [That’s…….] [By the way, what are you planning to do from now on? Is it okay to take the Duke? The fake Windsors won’t leave it be.] [Really, you talk as if you know my entire situation.] [I am the guildmaster of Coperador, to whom you selectively entrusted the request even in that situation. Aren’t you undervaluing your own choice?]

The man’s way with words was truly exceptional. There was no way to win. But the strange thing was that it didn’t feel all that unpleasant. So Yuri Hsien unconsciously let out a light chuckle.

[Yeah, I shouldn’t undervalue myself. It doesn’t matter. I don’t want my father to spend a moment outside Windsor. That’s his place. Just as it is mine.] [Aren’t you thinking about the danger?] [I did. That’s why I initially considered looking elsewhere, but you solved it.] [Huh?] [I mean Cali. Did you think I wouldn’t notice? What ordinary bodyguard carries a sword under her skirt?] [Oh, so that’s what you meant by not being inept.] The man’s green eyes momentarily revealed confusion. His eyes, seen under the faint light after coming out of the dark hut, resembled not the color of a swamp but the greenery of early summer. Yuri Hsien felt a thrill unknowingly at the thought of having taken a shot at the man.

[“Kite will take care of father. I guess he’ll protect him too. Am I wrong?”] [“You’re as peculiar as ever.”]

The man muttered something unintelligible. Yuri Hsien wore a puzzled look, but she did not answer.

Before Yuri Hsien climbed onto the carriage, she suddenly became curious and asked the man standing behind her,

[“But how do you know about amnesia? Is it also because you are the guild master?”]

The man, who had been staring at Yuri Hsien’s back, seemed taken aback, as if he had not expected her to turn around and ask. He then soon chuckled and answered,

[“No, I fervently hoped so.”] [“Huh?”] [“That someone not remembering me, isn’t forgetting me. Rather, that they were stricken with some illness that made them forget me.”]

The man’s voice sounded somehow lonely as he said this.

‘It was nonsense, really.’

Yuri Hsien lightly shook her head to dispel the thought. Windsor Duke’s estate was visible in the distance. The passing village was still quiet as the people had not yet awakened, but there were still the small noises of daily life as it was a village.

At that moment, Yuri Hsien realized the discomfort she had felt all along in the hut.

‘That hut, it was too quiet.’

There were no sounds that should typically be heard when elders gather, such as coughing or the creaking of furniture as they shifted around.

As if there was nobody else but the old man.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.

This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:

1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.

(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.

The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.

Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).

Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.

Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.

4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).

5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
