Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 143
The Imperial Palace’s Grand Council Chamber.
Despite the late hour of the summons, every seat was filled. The nobles sensed an odd undercurrent and glanced furtively at one another—more precisely, at Duke Madelaine’s expression.
‘An agenda concerning mineral taxation and the Saintess…?’
All the nobles had already seen two of Bicander’s retainers thrown into prison. The tax rate adjustments themselves should have been halted. Even if discussion of the suspended mineral tax could be excused, the inclusion of ‘Saintess’ on the official agenda was baffling.
The nobles clicked their tongues, searching for an opening to question Duke Madelaine, but his ironclad face remained utterly unchanged as he sat silently.
The only difference from his usual self was that he had brought his two sons with him. If anything, that made approaching him even more difficult.
“Ah, Your Grace…”
One noble, unable to hold back any longer, was just about to speak.
“His Imperial Majesty, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”
With the steward’s raspy announcement, the doors swung open and the Emperor and Crown Prince entered. Every noble rose from their seats—and froze, eyes wide.
Behind the Emperor and Crown Prince came the Empress, her face far more haggard than usual. Yet the nobles showed no sign of surprise and bowed respectfully.
“We greet the Sun, Moon, and Little Sun of the Empire.”
“…Though I convened this meeting urgently and at short notice, I appreciate your prompt attendance.”
Urgent situation. Short notice.
The Emperor’s choice of words alone was enough to set the nobles on edge.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
