“What? Is that even possible?”
At Kilian and Blait’s well-timed remarks, Raymond snapped, shouting, and soon the meeting room became chaotic.
“Since earlier, you’ve been saying, ‘Let’s see, let’s see,’ Blait Award! Your words are very aggressive, aren’t they?”
“Now you’re not scared anymore?”
“Wh-who said I’m not scared!”
The ear-piercing bickering had long caused Elizabeth, Creta, and Haley to step back.
When Creta, who had been watching the three fools, stood up, Haley grabbed her.
“Are you going to see the Duke now?”
“In situations like this, the faster, the better.”
“What is the scale of the evacuation order outside the territory?”
“I don’t know.”
Creta answered vaguely, not giving a proper answer.
If she were clever, she wouldn’t fail to understand the meaning of this question.
In that case…
Haley overtly changed the question.
“Is there a place suitable for hosting the Duchess?”
In response to Haley’s words, Elizabeth sharply retorted.
“Is the Duchess not another owner of this Valloch Decree? But is it reasonable for her to abandon the territory and flee?”
“Nothing is decided, so please don’t speculate.”
“Saying it’s speculation? Wasn’t it just mentioned by the commander of the 4th castle just now?”
“Elizabeth Swan. I’ve told you before, but please broaden and deepen your perspective. If you only follow what’s in front of you, you’ll miss the important essence.”
“Why do you, Haley Armor, who used to be a knight, sometimes seem to forget your duty as a knight?”
“Elizabeth Swan, even though you continue to be a knight, why do you seem to forget the duty of a knight?”
At the end of their arguing, their hands had somehow risen to their waists.
Seeing that a duel was likely to break out, Creta sighed loudly as if to listen.
“There’s a scared commander who’s afraid, and there are commanders who want to fight. If the Duke knows this fact, he will be very pleased that everyone is enthusiastic.”
“Creta Barhan.”
“Yes, Elizabeth Swan.”
“I want you to be a witness to the duel. Will you allow it?”
Elizabeth was pulling off her gloves and speaking sharply.
“I refuse.”
“I want to remind you that there are people who can be witnesses other than you.”
“I greatly despise situations where someone takes a ‘side,’ and if you keep doing this, I might say something that seems to take sides.”
Creta didn’t hide her cold expression towards Elizabeth.
“6th Castle Commander, Elizabeth Swan. Apologize to 4th Castle Commander Haley Armor right away.”
“I refuse.”
“You insulted Haley Armor, mocked her, and insulted the Duchess, so you must offer a proper apology.”
“This is a personal question!”
“I didn’t have such intentions. But regardless, are you saying that you, as the Duchess, have to endure in the ruins? Not even a knight, her?”
“Don’t beat around the bush like that, Haley Armor.”
“Creta Barhan, was there a problem with what I said? If you continue to insult my ‘Lady’ like this, I will challenge you to a duel.”
Haley promptly took off the leather gloves she was wearing without hesitation.
His left hand, gripping the black glove, was solidly dried.
“It’s the left glove. Seems like it got really hot.”
Blait tried to change the somber atmosphere as if attempting to lighten it, but no one reacted.
“Throw it. If Princess Termina is so precious, throw it. I’d gladly take it with your left glove!”
Following Elizabeth’s enraged shout, Haley’s hand moved like lightning.
With a swift motion that left a black trail, a loud and unbelievable impact sound rang out as the glove hit.
“Snap!”
Elizabeth rolled on the ground.
Haley Armor remained holding the glove.
“What is this nonsense!”
Wiping away the blood flowing from her mouth, Elizabeth, as she got up, didn’t hide her furious voice.
“Don’t you understand, Elizabeth Swan? People like you don’t even have the qualifications to duel with me.”
Haley stood up, grabbed Elizabeth’s neck, and slammed her onto the ground.
Snap!
Again, there was a sound of something breaking as Elizabeth rolled on the ground.
“Madam, if you see Termina and realize that she’s different, even if you call the Duchess by the name ‘Termina’ all the time, it’s disrespectful.”
“Do you want to fight over Termina?”
“There are other ways to deal with your pitiful jokes. Just because of this, is she not a princess?”
“She is not Princess Termina.”
“You’re out of your mind with all these nonsense.”
Elizabeth sneered at Haley’s words.
“Stop it! The Duke has already declared her as ‘Duchess.'”
Blait, who couldn’t stand it anymore, stepped forward, but Elizabeth’s fist was faster.
With a sharp sound cutting through the air, Haley thought he might be blown away.
But, that didn’t happen.
Haley lightly leaned his waist to avoid it and used the recoil to catch Elizabeth.
After that, it was a one-sided beating.
The winner was, of course, Haley.
Smiling down at Elizabeth, who lay flat on the ground with her lips burst from being hit, Haley mounted her.
“Now, feeling refreshed?”
“…”
“I gave you a reason to stop your wretched deeds, so you should be grateful, shouldn’t you?”
“I won’t.”
Even though her lips were swollen from the blows, Elizabeth, who hadn’t uttered a single groan during the beating, suddenly burst into tears.
“I won’t. I won’t do it! I won’t!”
“Don’t do it, then.”
“Why should I be grateful! I originally said it was my place. Everyone said it was mine. They said it suited me well!”
“It seems you’re not as desperate as I am.”
Mixed with sobs, Elizabeth’s words ended with a gentle voice.
“My Lady!”
Haley’s scream erupted.
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.”
