The door was hardly open, but Elodie, who was nearby, would have been enough to understand the situation.
A desperate look on Odette’s face, and a man holding her as well.
And it was for such a contingency that Elodie had been stationed.
“……!”
Elodie turned her head away.
As if she had never made eye contact with Odette.
Bang.
The door closed in Regis’s hand, and Odette’s body swung around and hit the door.
“Where are you going without even finishing the conversation? Didn’t Her Highness the Princess learn even this much etiquette?”
“……I didn’t know that a coward who drugs tea would know about etiquette.”
“You insolent wench!”
With a smack, Odette’s cheek swung around.
Regis would not have been so aggressive at another time, but he had already lost half his reason.
The humiliation of being curtly rejected even after groveling to apologize to a bastard princess.
And a sense of inferiority towards the arrogant men around Odette.
Lastly, the thought that the plan might fail was tearing him apart.
“Whether it’s Duke Ertman or whatever, you think you’ve achieved something by talking to those guys, huh? Do you think anyone will treat you like a real princess, no matter how haughty you carry yourself?”
A weed no different from the bastard princess who was fortunate enough to resemble the emperor and raise her name in the imperial family.
That was Odette’s position.
But to dare treat the Count of Sabier like this?
“I’ve been patient with you, and now you’re getting out of hand……!”
As Regis was about to explode again, a faint voice came from beyond the door.
“If it’s Her Highness the 4th Princess, she said she has to meet someone briefly and left.”
“……!”
Regis may not have recognized it, but Odette knew the owner of that voice.
It was Elodie’s voice.
“So I was waiting here…… Shall I tell you where she went? She went to the garden. I can guide you there.”
“……So? She went to the garden.”
And the person she was talking to.
‘Duke Ertman……!’
For some reason, he seemed to be looking for Odette.
The problem was that Elodie was meddling in between.
Regis seemed to notice that fact, too, as he sneered in a low voice.
“You didn’t expect them to help you, did you, Your Highness?”
There’s no one to help you.
With a voice full of mockery ringing in her ears, Odette lowered her gaze.
She knew there was no one to help her in this situation.
She had just harbored a glimmer of hope.
‘I hoped I wouldn’t have to use this.’
She needed to get out before the drug took full effect.
As Odette clenched her fist tightly.
“I think she might be inside rather than the garden.”
The interrupted voice came from outside the door.
“……What? That, wait! Yo, your Grace!”
“Out of my way.”
A spinechilling voice was heard, and footsteps began to approach the door.
There was no way Odette would have heard it and not Regis, so his face turned pale.
“Damn it, cursed……!”
Regis, cursing under his breath, hurried to cover Odette’s mouth and lock the door, but.
Thwack!
“Cough!”
Odette didn’t miss the opportunity and elbowed Regis in the solar plexus.
Taking advantage of Regis’s staggering, she quickly opened the door.
Click.
With the sound of the latch being released and the door opening, a familiar face appeared.
The face that invariably found her when she least wanted it.
The unexpected relief and pleasure were all the more bitter.
“Duke Ertman……”
Odette, accustomed to standing upright, tried to walk out straight but staggered as she took a step.
Her head was heavy. The delayed effect of the drug.
She thought she saw the ground tilting, but she didn’t end up face down.
There was a hand to catch and hold her as Odette staggered.
‘……It’s warm.’
Under different circumstances, she might have pushed it away quickly, but Odette was already intoxicated with Suma.
She was merely clinging to consciousness, knowing that it would be dangerous to lose it here.
Had someone noticed such an Odette? Following a gentle touch that embraced her, a soft whisper came.
“You can relax. Nothing will harm you.”
Balter’s low, soft voice.
What was it about that voice that put her at ease?
‘You’re probably no different from the others…….’
Regis, who pleaded and clung only to change his attitude and get angry.
Louis, who would readily bestow favor but let go, saying he couldn’t help it if something came up.
Elodie, who didn’t even hide her malice behind a smiling face.
Either way, it was all familiar to Odette. Regardless of Hoowoo, she didn’t even think of resenting it.
Just as Regis said, she knew well enough that there was no one to help her.
But why do you keep doing this every time…….
‘……Why do you comfort me?’
With that thought, Odette closed her eyes.
Subsequently, her consciousness rapidly sank into Suma.
(This is a time delimiter.)
She had a dream.
Without any conscious stage, Odette could tell it was a dream.
She couldn’t wear a dress adorned with so many jewels in reality.
And in reality, she would never have 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.”
