The Emperor read the report aloud in front of everyone.
“Lastly, I anticipate that this festival will foster a sense of alliance between the Empire and the Kingdom due to its butterfly effect. Since the armistice, the two allied nations have had little interaction. However, this festival will serve as a major starting point for positive exchange.”
His low baritone made even a generic proposal sound like excellent poetry.
After reciting the final sentence, he immediately questioned the chairman.
“Chairman, who do you think this report sounds like?”
“Isn’t this the proposal adopted as the final version by Helena?”
“Surprisingly, it belongs to someone else. Someone who claims to have written it faster than Helena.”
“Really?”
“I wanted to fully trust Helena, but the author’s actions have shattered my trust.”
Kun snapped his fingers loudly.
Snap!
With a dull noise, the door opened. This time, the librarian from the Imperial Library entered the conference room with books.
A new pile of books was stacked onto Helena’s now empty desk.
“These are the reference books mentioned by the whistleblower.”
“…”
“Let’s give Helena a little more time and hear what the whistleblower has to say.”
Silence fell for a moment.
Even the distracted Helena was curious about the whistleblower’s identity.
Who could it be, searching for their lost report at this time?
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
A dignified voice followed.
It was the voice Helena had always coveted, the one she had practiced over and over again.
It was Chloe Argen.
“Princess, how do you plan to claim that this report is yours?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will recite the parts I referenced from the books you provided.”
“Very well.”
Chloe first pointed to “Diplomatic Policy Theory.”
“On the eighth page of the report, it is explained that the festival will serve as a medium for fostering friendship between the two countries. I referenced this from the second chapter of ‘Diplomatic Policy Theory’ by Priontz Camel. It says that the Kingdoms of Philea and Kennen built a bond through an annual festival. I also cited the fifteenth page, fifth paragraph of the second chapter.”
Kun then read the paragraph Chloe mentioned. Upon comparing it with the report, indeed, the sentence she cited appeared.
Next, she cited a newspaper published by Million Paper during the current Emperor’s coronation ceremony. Followed by “Views of Diplomacy” by author Hermesetz, among other books.
“Interestingly, the books Princess referenced match the content written in the report. This is similar to what Helena had submitted.”
The conference room hummed quietly.
Helena, who had been quietly listening, hung her head low.
“Princess, why do you think Helena’s report is a mock-up of yours?”
“Two days ago, I unfortunately lost it in the Imperial Library. Despite efforts to find it, it vanished without a trace.”
“Your report vanished two days ago, and Helena brought a report with matching content yesterday.”
Kun didn’t need to spell it out; everyone understood.
What a terribly convenient coincidence.
Then, a voice broke the atmosphere in the conference room.
“Isn’t this all staged drama!”
Helena suddenly stood up and slammed her desk.
Her hair was so disheveled that it covered her face.
“Staged drama?”
Kun’s icy voice made Helena’s shoulders flinch.
However, she had to confront him; her reputation was at stake.
She had to let everyone know of her injustice.
“Your wife, the whistleblower, might have found those reference books in advance!”
“You’re saying my wife found what you couldn’t, all in a day… That’s quite an ability.”
“…”
“Furthermore, aside from the chairman and me, no one has had the opportunity to view the decision. How did you find out about your report, and that the princess brought references?”
“Your Majesty, you gave my wife the opportunity to review…”
Before she could finish, someone forcefully grabbed Helena’s arm, as if trying to stop her from continuing.
It was Callis, who had been observing the situation from the side.
Avoiding the issue was fine, but disrespecting the royal family was not acceptable. Especially not for two people who shouldn’t be hated by the royal family.
However, like spilled water can’t be collected back, the words Helena spat out could not be retracted.
“I expressly gave the princess the right to review, even breaking the established rules.”
The figure standing in the middle of the conference room once again turned towards Helena. His long strides quickly brought him to his destination within seconds.
Kun leaned his face close to Helena’s. If one could feel temperature through scent, his would carry a chilling coldness, like an ice chamber.
“Why.”
“……”
“Why give the princess such privilege? What do I gain?”
Helena wanted to ask as well.
Why the Emperor of a country, the leader of the world, would help someone like Chloe.
No, maybe Helena had already noticed.
Still, she couldn’t vocalize the fact.
“……So, what I wanted to say……”
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.”
