“Are you alright? There was a loud noise, is something the matter?”
The butler opened the door, saw the two people, and halted with his hand on the doorknob.
“Ah, butler. A book fell.”
“A book?”
The butler glanced at the books scattered on the floor, then at the two people, and nodded.
“Ah, a book. I see. Then I will excuse myself.”
The butler courteously bowed and quietly closed the door.
“……?”
“……!”
After briefly staring at the closed door, the two people looked at each other in surprise.
Still close by, Eric immediately picked up one of the fallen books and handed it to Alicia.
“So, ah. Was this it?”
“Yes, yes. That was it.”
“Then take your time and come out. I’ll be outside.”
“I will.”
As Eric hurriedly left the study, Alicia put the book she had received back onto the empty bookshelf.
“Oh, how shocking.”
Alicia fanned her flushed face and looked up at the bookshelf.
The book she had intended to take out was still on the shelf above.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Butler. Butler. Wait a moment.”
“Yes, young master.”
“I think there seems to be some misunderstanding, butler.”
“It’s fine. Young master. You don’t need to feel embarrassed in front of me.”
“Huh?”
“You are a bit rough, but a man needs that kind of vigor.”
“Rough? Me? What are you talking about?”
“You are doing well on your own, I’m just babbling because of my old age. Please forgive me.”
“Doing well what? Suddenly what should I forgive?”
“In the future, when the two of you are together, I will make sure not to interrupt no matter what noise I hear. This will make the honeymoon more comfortable.”
“Butler!”
“Ah, I see. I made another unnecessary comment. I’m getting old and spouting nonsense. I apologize, young master.”
With the butler apologizing so politely, Eric, without being able to say anything in return, just stared blankly at the retreating figure of the butler.
He thought he should have fainted after being hit by the book back then.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Laila. Please, wear this quietly. Edward, grab Ryan.”
While Alicia was dressing Laila, Edward caught Ryan, who was trying to escape.
“Just do it casually. It doesn’t matter how well they’re dressed, they won’t care, right?”
“Dress quickly, we don’t have time.”
“You’re saying we’re family, why are you so bothered? Just do it as usual watch out.”
Edward caught Ryan’s clothes thrown by Alicia.
“Sister, are you not listening to me?”
“Eric will be arriving soon. Where’s Emma?”
“She’s downstairs helping. Ryan, stay still.”
“Kyaaa.”
Despite grumbling, Edward skillfully dressed Ryan who was squirming and throwing a tantrum.
“Really, why won’t you listen to me today?”
“Just let it be. As long as they can distinguish between boys and girls, isn’t that enough?”
“Do you want to leave your siblings in such a mess in front of Eric, who you admire?”
“What’s the problem? I’m not a mess.”
“Edward.”
“But it’s really been a long time since I’ve seen Eric.”
Eric has been very busy lately.
Due to the preparations for the joint training of the knight order, one of the largest events in the empire, he has been staying at the knight order a lot. It’s been a long time since even Alicia saw his face.
Today, he said he had some free time and was coming for dinner. They had tried to dress properly, but it had turned into a mess.
When they finally got dressed after a lot of fussing, Eric arrived.
“Edward, watch the kids carefully. Don’t let them get into mischief.”
“Do you think they’ll listen if I stop them?”
Avoiding his sister’s glare, Edward grabbed the hands of the twins.
“I won’t. Won’t wear.”
“You have no choice. If not, our sister will kill you.”
“Edward.”
“See? Sister is angry.”
“Hiiing. Scary.”
“Tell Eric everything when he comes later.”
“We’ll tell him.”
Avoiding Alicia’s casual glance, Edward took the twins and went into the room.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“You arrived earlier than I thought?”
“I came straight from the knight order, so it happened.”
“You look tired, are you still very busy?”
As they walked into the mansion together, Alicia asked worriedly, and Eric reassured her with a smile.
“Why didn’t you just rest? You can do the dinner later.”
“I’ve not seen you for a long time though. How is your health, mother?”
“I’m feeling pretty good today.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After greeting the Countess of Lancaster and stepping out, Alicia cautiously asked.
“Do you want to rest a bit?”
“Is that okay?”
At her words, color returned to Eric’s face.
Seeing him so evidently tired, Alicia made a sympathetic expression.
“Sure. There’s still plenty of time until mealtime.”
“In that case, I’ll excuse myself for a bit.”
But the room Eric entered, following Alicia, was unexpected and he felt flustered.
“Is this your.”
“Yes, my bedroom.”
“You can’t possibly mean for me to sleep here?”
“The other rooms have been unused for a while, they might be uncomfortable.”
‘It seems like this would be more uncomfortable.’
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.”
