A hint of ‘here we go again’ appeared in Carlein’s eyes. There was no big change in his expression, but Aini could tell.
It was unmistakable when she compared the emotionless gaze now with the loving gaze she had seen in her dream.
“As I’ve said before, I don’t know who you are.”
“Carlein, I am…”
“Let me correct you. I now know who you are. You are the Empress of Karisen.”
Aini blinked repeatedly in confusion. The person who had been so affectionate in her dream just a moment ago was now treating her as dry as dried sand, and she was utterly clueless as to why.
“Carlein. I had a dream.”
“I’m not interested.”
“!”
“And if you’re angry with the Empress’s husband, be angry with the Empress’s husband. I wish you wouldn’t take out your anger on our Miss who has been quiet.”
“Our Miss…?”
“Yes. It was uncomfortable to watch.”
Aini stopped trying to talk about her dream and hastily shook her head.
“Take out my anger? I’ve never done such a thing.”
It was true. She did have an unpleasant curiosity about the woman whom her husband had brought in and kept hidden in the room. So she went to see who she was, but she never had any intention of harassing her.
After seeing Carlein, she was completely absorbed in him and had no interest in anything else.
The only thing Aini remembered about that woman, ‘our Miss’ as Carlein put it, was that her gray hair looked terribly knotted, like a scrubbing brush forced to straighten.
“Weren’t you pretending to faint on purpose to use your maids to frame our Miss.”
“Framing? That’s not it.”
Aini, who didn’t even know that the maids had been pushing the woman hard, frantically shook her head again.
“I really fainted…”
“If that’s all you have to say, then I’ll leave.”
As Carlein turned around, Aini reached out towards the air. But remembering how he had shaken off her hand grabbing his clothes earlier, she couldn’t bring herself to stop him and awkwardly put down her hand.
‘What’s this? Why is this happening? Something feels off.’
When the door closed and she was left alone, Aini realized something was wrong and quickly shook her head. She rushed into the bathroom in her bedroom and was shocked to see her eyes wide open in the mirror.
She kept thinking this. Miss? Why is that woman your Miss?
[This is the time separator]When Carlein left the reception room, he found the guards and maids lined up on both sides of the corridor staring at him.
All of them had displeased expressions. It could be an intimidating situation, but to Carlein, who had been surrounded by hundreds of knights, a few knights and maids with swords were not scary at all.
Carlein ignored them all and walked down the marble corridor.
“Hey.”
But before he could walk past the corridor and go down the stairs. The maid who had come to fetch him at Aini’s request called out to him in an annoyed voice.
As Carlein turned around and their eyes met, the maid crossed her arms and warned him coldly.
“Listen, man. For your future, I have something to say.”
“……”
“Be careful with your words and actions. If you disrespect the Empress, you could wake up in the middle of the desert with that woman with dog hair.”
Carlein didn’t react at all, neither with his expression nor with his words, and just turned around and went down the stairs.
Seeing his reaction, the maid frowned in annoyance. Why did the Emperor bring those kinds into the palace?
The maid, clicking her tongue, shook her head and turned to go back to the reception room. There were already other maids surrounding Aini, who was sitting on the sofa.
“Your Majesty. He didn’t behave rudely to you, did he?”
“When he opened the door and came out, it was obvious from the moment I saw him that he wasn’t showing proper respect to Your Majesty.”
Aini’s expression was as if she had heard from her loving parents, ‘You’re not my real daughter.’
Her appearance was so shocked that the maids hastily spat out words trying to console her.
As much as the emperor and empress were on bad terms, they all sided with the empress. When the suspicious woman brought by the emperor and the more suspicious man she brought started to harass Aini, they became very angry and seethed with rage.
“I have a headache.”
However, due to the strange feelings that suddenly appeared in Aini like a night shell cracking open, her head was noisy and chaotic even when she was still.
Feeling fatigued despite knowing the maids’ good intentions, they kept nagging beside her.
“I want to be alone.”
As Aini stood up from the sofa and went into the bedroom and closed the door, the maids grinded their teeth at Carlein, accusing that the man who seemed dead had been rude.
On the other hand, as soon as Aini entered the room, she leaned against the door, knelt down, and repeatedly hit her head trying to erase Carlein’s tender smile that kept coming up.
Then. There was a knock on the door.
“I said I want to be alone.”
As Aini spoke with a sigh, the maid apologized and explained.
“Your Majesty the Empress. His Majesty the Emperor is here……”
[This is the time separator]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.”
