Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 70
After the meal ended, Idren took her to his study. As soon as Ophelia entered the room where she could control her eyes and ears, she dismissed all the servants and asked him.
“What did you mean by saying you told Anika to do something? And what about that pledge of loyalty?”
Idren replied calmly, as if he’d expected precisely that question.
“In your previous life, don’t you remember how Anika gathered evidence of her father’s crimes and filed charges? I dealt with her father myself, so in return, I instructed her to collect the misdeeds of neighboring lords.”
Then, lingering near her, he added, “Several of them committed crimes severe enough for their property to be seized. Shall I gather it and give it to you?”
Ophelia instantly rejected the man’s oddly playful remark.
“No, thank you.”
She had already received lands from Idren that reliably generated more income than her homeland ever had. That was more than enough to strangle Mahanas once and for all.
But there was something else she hadn’t yet received an answer to. Ophelia pressed him again, refusing to let him sidestep her second question.
“What did you mean by ‘pledge of loyalty’?”
She knew well enough that Anika wouldn’t have said that on her own. Idren must have given her explicit instructions.
Realizing there was no point in hiding it, Idren answered without further evasion.
“I thought it would be beneficial if at least one southern lord openly supported you, so I took some measures.”
That incident, at the very least, must have occurred three months prior—roughly how long it had been since they’d left Rohos Castle.
Understanding now that Idren had chosen Anika from the very beginning, Ophelia said,

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.”
