My Insolent Shadow (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 120
Of course, Theobald hadn’t asked out of any ulterior motive.
He simply felt that this entire situation… diverged from his lord’s usual decisions.
The man who always moved with meticulous planning now appeared to have lost his focus, unlike his usual self.
In truth, the direction his lord ought to take was already set.
Should the engagement with House Perriot be broken, he would simply forge another engagement with a different noble lady.
That was the path—and the proper way—a heir to a great house must inevitably walk.
Even a fool like himself understood this, so there was no way his lord could be unaware.
Yet Cassian’s unfocused gaze was clearly veering off somewhere.
‘Surely he isn’t planning to defy that path.’
Of course, the world had changed greatly, and occasionally, just like in those romance novels, unions between highborn men and women of lower station did exist in reality.
But even then, such cases applied only to younger sons of noble houses—or at best, newly risen nobles—not the designated heirs.
For ancient, prestigious noble houses, such a thing was utterly unthinkable.
The world changed slowly, and naturally, the ruling class was always the slowest to adapt.
Of course, Theobald himself would always support his lord’s decisions and will without question.
Yet he remained skeptical—would the world truly accept it?

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.”
