Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
That night, the Grand Duke went to see Ophelia for reasons of his own.
After spending quite a while alone with her, the Grand Duke immediately ordered the princess’s room to be cleaned as soon as he stepped out. A man had reportedly snapped at him in an unusually irritable tone, “What if someone inside got hurt from all that commotion?”
By then, Mahanas had already guessed why the Grand Duke cared so much about Ophelia.
Even if she wasn’t quite in her right mind, a woman with beauty like hers would always be forgiven—and his younger sister had certainly been blessed with a lovely face. She truly ought to be grateful for her own half-pretty looks.
Satisfied that matters had settled this way, Mahanas sent clothes to his younger sister the next morning. Along with them, he also dispatched a new maid, replacing the trembling chambermaid who had previously claimed the princess was possessed by a demon.
Since the Grand Duke was clearly taken with the girl’s appearance, Mahanas intended to have her elegantly dressed and presented at the breakfast gathering.
As he’d hoped, Ophelia appeared quite presentable. Seeing the hairstyle that best showcased one of her finest features—her fair, slender neck—Mahanas felt thoroughly pleased. The Grand Duke, too, couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Mahanas leaned toward the young man, whose juvenile aura was thick in the air, and offered quiet advice in a low voice.
“Women know they’re being stared at—and it makes them angry.”
Without even glancing his way, the Grand Duke replied,
“I know.”
Yet despite his words, the young man kept his gaze fixed solely on Ophelia until she finally took her seat.
Soon after, the king announced the start of breakfast, and the meal began.
During breakfast, Mahanas spoke to the Grand Duke about the canal toll fees between Reden and Aglante.
Since the canal had originally been built by Aglante, Reden was required to pay to use it—and Mahanas thought this would be a good opportunity to negotiate a reduction.

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.”
