Volonico, who entrusted the task of removing protective gear to the attendants, sent a letter to the Feliase Viscountcy.
The recipient was Regina Feliase, the cousin of the Princess Consort.
⭐⭐⭐
Encounters with Prince Volonico were always thrilling.
Ranked first in the succession order for the next emperor and the most sought-after bachelor in the empire, the beautiful and unmarried Prince Volonico was the empire’s top groom.
If Volonico regularly inquired about her well-being and accompanied her to unofficial events, what would people say?
“The Viscountess Feliase and His Highness the First Prince seem to be unusually close.”
“Now that Feliase has completely entered His Highness Volonico’s household, that seems appropriate.”
“It’s challenging to stick to neutrality in these times.”
“Another marriage alliance? I heard that the Viscountess Feliase, despite being a Princess Consort, formed a connection with the imperial family.”
“Is Duke Drearter going to remain silent? With Lady Ariesta in the picture, what is His Highness Volonico doing…”
“He said they were close friends, so let’s wait and see.”
“Still, just in case, there’s no harm in getting friendly in advance.”
Numerous eyes poured onto Regina as she ascended to the second floor, holding Volonico’s arm.
Regina, enjoying the curious glances of onlookers, walked to the ladies’ lounge.
Volonico, a curious man, showed interest as more gossip was fed to him.
The Lady’s Lounge was the perfect place to pick up intimate and private secrets of the nobility.
The attitude of the ladies, who previously treated Regina as if she were invisible, subtly changed, indicating a more welcoming atmosphere. It was a much more enticing place than before.
“So, what will you do? Being the daughter of a merchant.”
“Think about the Viscount Feliase and his wife. Even the late Viscount. Seeing that nothing resembles the current Viscount Feliase, it seems they’ve all been replaced. Coarse red hair, light footsteps. From behind, she’s indistinguishable from commoners.”
“Still, she’s a noticeable beauty, isn’t she?”
“Have you seen Lady Ariesta? She’s a true beauty. Regina Feliase? I’ve never even heard that name until now.”
“Thanks to the new Princess Consort, the Feliase has been piled high with gold. Have you heard the news?”
“Um. Those in the know are aware. Didn’t Lord Lévre make the first bride price payment to Feliase? Are you envious?”
Loud laughter erupted from inside the room.
It was the laughter of elderly ladies, sophisticated society wives, and the young attendants they brought with them.
“It’s just a joke. Envy what? It’s a deal that has been sold. Given the monster she lives with, the amount paid is meager in proportion to wasting her life.”
“But still better than Regina Feliase. How long do you think Prince will stay with Regina Feliase? Eventually, he has no choice but to marry Lady Ariesta. If Prince keeps causing scandals and doesn’t marry, Regina’s reputation as Miss Regina will fall into the ground.”
“If that happens, who would try to marry the Feliase Viscount, who has no land? The value would plummet, and with the bride price received by the Princess Consort, she might not even dream of it.”
“Oh my. What to do then. The Feliase Viscountess is so pitiful.”
Regina, frozen in place, managed to deflect the ridicule and gossip coming through the crack in the door.
Not everyone judged Regina’s future solely through the lens of the overflowing Tifati invitations.
‘It’s because of Volonico.’
Volonico, ten years ago, was the fiancé of Lady Ariesta, who was rumored to be a beauty that comes once every hundred years.
Just like Regina now, he adorned her everywhere like an ornament.
With the rumored discord between him and the Crown Prince, people paid no attention to the rumors and gossip regarding him.
Eventually, when the engagement with the Crown Prince was annulled, all the negative rumors turned to Lady Ariesta.
Later, due to her ambition to become Empress, she left the Crown Prince and chose Volonico.
If the strange conclusion of Lady Ariesta becoming the Prince’s consort had happened, the rumors would have faded away…
‘But Volonico didn’t do that.’
Unfortunately, despite his not-so-young age, Volonico had no fiancée.
The daughter of Duke Drearter, Lady Ariesta, who could marry Volonico with a rumor of an engagement, had no place to go.
So, while other women her age usually went around looking for fiancés or betrotheds from the age of 20, Lady Ariesta, like a flower on a cliff, existed, staying in her territory.
‘I won’t end up like that.’
Unlike Lady Ariesta, who grew like a greenhouse flower, Regina, who caught the curiosity of the ever-curious Volonico, would never satisfy him. I won’t.
Regina bit her lip and finally returned to her seat at the entrance of the lounge.
Prince Volonico, who was sitting leisurely, greeted her with a warm smile as he petted the parrot by his side.
“Have you rested enough, Lady Regina?”
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.”
