“But if I said it’s okay when facing this kind of cold for the first time, wouldn’t that be bluffing?”

The man picked up the cup of tea served by Juli and took a light sip.

“People born and raised here might find it bearable, but this kind of cold is a first for me.”

“……”

“What about you? Is it bearable for you?”

The moment their eyes met, his piercing black gaze made Bianca hesitate.

For a moment, she felt as if her gut was ripped open.

“Ah.”

In the blink of an eye, the man’s gaze had changed.

As if Bianca had merely imagined it.

“The fragrance is nice.”

With that naturally following sentence, Bianca finally looked away from the man.

“I’m glad it suits your taste.”

Something felt odd.

Throughout, the man maintained a smile, and his speech was refined.

Yet, she felt an uncanny sense of familiarity.

What could that be?

Bianca tilted her head, silently scrutinizing the man across from her.

Receiving Juli’s tea service, he looked quite comfortable.

Whooong.

A ferocious wind, resembling a beast’s howl, blew fiercely.

Outside, a severe snowstorm was raging.

Though not luxurious, the reception room of the ducal palace was nothing but cozy.

The only person who felt tense inside it was Bianca.

“Aren’t you going to drink?”

The man flashed a subtle smile.

“No news then?”

His voice was as relaxed as his expression.

Jeremy loosened his tight cravat and leaned back deep into his chair.

“Yes, there was nothing to worry about.”

“You’re sure?”

“Of course. I’ve doublechecked it multiple times.”

“Well… in that case.”

Haaah.

With a sigh that sounded as though he was ailing, Jeremy sprawled lazily.

Maintaining a straight posture became difficult as all tension left his body.

“Are you alright?”

At the aide’s question, Jeremy casually waved his hand.

The temporary satisfaction from tricking the emperor was long gone.

The collapse of the fortress continued to nag at Jeremy.

The fortress that had been sturdy since its founding suddenly deteriorating in less than a year?

‘Impossible!’

As suspicion filled his mind, Jeremy became increasingly restless and paralyzed.

‘Balrok, finally freed from long captivity by acquiring Termina.’

He could only think of the prophecy being fulfilled.

He had sent people to Balrok territory multiple times in a hurry.

The answer that came back was always the same.

“Aging, you say…”

“Yes, Your Majesty. In fact, part of the watchtower roof had been crumbling for years.”

“That Duke of Balrok really is something. Hosting waves and yet neglecting the walls that serve as a frontline? Is it his habit to solve everything with a sword?”
An involuntary groan escaped my lips.

How could this be so convenient?

Sending Bianca to the Barlock fiefdom, and then such an incident happens?

Thankfully, they said the repairs to the fortress went smoothly, thanks to the halted snowfall.

I could only think how truly fortunate that was.

“Did the fortress repairs go well?”

“Absolutely. They said there were hardly any stones that rolled off and broke. The materials remained in their original form, so they just mixed them with clay and rebuilt it.”

I’d heard it several times, but both the lieutenant and Jeremy acted as if it was the first.

While the Emperor seemed to have completely forgotten about the fortress collapsing after that day, Jeremy had not.

No matter how many times we doublechecked, the nagging feeling wouldn’t completely go away.

“So, what about the Duke?”

“The Duke has already set off to prepare for the second wave.”

“Already?”

“Yes.”

“That’s, a bit strange.”

Jeremy’s brows slightly furrowed.

Normally, the wave started when a midwinter blizzard began.

The snow started absurdly early, and now a wave comes one after another?

I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was offkilter.

Termina, who executed Barlock.

Princess Termina, who was given as a sacrifice by Barlock.

The incessant waves and the collapsed fortress.

Though these were just the facts, each one was deeply unsettling.

“Being pushed down by a mutt and having a seizure.”

Thinking that all of this was the Emperor’s fault made it hard to suppress my irritation.

“What about the Emperor?”

“He seems to have some schedule.”

“What schedule?”

Snow began to fall, and the Termina Empire had long entered an early winter.

It was a monotonous season, just an endless wait.

A schedule, in this case, would only be a few nobles gossiping.

Ruining everything this way and living without a care, what a joke!

“…Damn it.”

Jeremy mumbled, chewing his words.

The Termina Empire would soon be his.

It wasn’t just something to watch from the sidelines, considering the Emperor caused it.

If left as it was, problems would undoubtedly arise in the Empire.

He had no taste for things falling apart.

Though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to move.

“Buy a person.”

“The investigation team is prepared.”

The lieutenant’s answer came reflexively to the familiar command.

Jeremy twisted his lips at the sincere and naive response.

“Not that sort of thing.”

“Then…”

Jeremy looked at the innocent face staring back at him and whispered slowly.

“Buy a skilled assassin.”

He flinched.

Trying not to show his discomfort, his shoulders jerked in a moment of tension.

Savoring the lieutenant’s pale expression due to the tension, Jeremy narrowed his eyes.

“Bianca, you’ll have to handle this.”

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!!!

You’re bound to regret it if you skip this novel. Read the review & spoiler to find out what you might be missing!
