I'll Be the Queen of the Enemy Country (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
“I see.”
Elise smiled after hearing the story. Roxa’s eyes widened.
Roxa hadn’t believed Cram’s claim that Elise already knew everything. The Elise she knew was someone who cared for people regardless of their status.
Cram was the complete opposite of Elise. He treated people like spare parts.
Naturally, Roxa had expected Elise to share her anger upon hearing her account. She’d even assumed Elise would agree with her plan to remove Cram from his position as overall supervisor.
But seeing Elise’s reaction, Roxa suddenly felt uncertain.
“Lady Elise, did you truly hear what I just said?”
“Yes, I did. Sir Cram gave the people more food, organized teams, and granted them rest periods. He’s doing very well. Even better, he’s provided jobs to the villagers from the Land of Death.”
“No, Lady Elise. What I meant was that Sir Cram forced food on people, made the weak work, and prevented those who wanted to work from doing so.”
Elise nodded throughout Roxa’s explanation.
“My Lady, don’t just look at what’s immediately visible—look beneath the surface. Sir Cram is doing well.”
“It’s only because you haven’t seen it yourself, Lady Elise. If you saw it in person, your opinion would change.”
“No. Even if I saw it myself, nothing would change. Think about who Sir Cram is working with right now.”
“The villagers from the Land of Death.”
“Exactly. Why do you think he shouted at them to eat right away? When they get food, their first thought is to save some for their children. People who need to work can’t muster strength if they don’t eat. Cram knows this, so he forces them—even excessively—to eat, even if he has to yell.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

“I’ll pretend I never heard that.”
How long will you keep trusting your younger brother. David insists on closing his eyes.
—Titris has its own customs and laws. Since you seem unaware of them, I suppose
Is it customary to disregard the right to a full defense and due process?
"Bedroka may be different, but Titris strictly adheres to social status. If that
I thought it was a “barbaric” country, but apparently their etiquette is stricter than hers.
