The atmosphere of the castle had become chaotic overnight.
From the afternoon after lunch to dawn, the knights were arriving without rest, and the people of the castle were busy welcoming new knights, that was why.
Due to the different distances from the castle to each fortress, the knights’ arrival times were all different.
Having heard the story from Julie in advance, Bianca was not surprised by the commotion, but the noise of welcoming the knights continued until dawn, and she could not sleep properly.
Eventually, when the clanging last greeting of “The knights of the 7th fortress are here to see the Duke,” rang at dawn, Bianca gave up on sleep.
In a couple of hours, the sun would rise, and if she fell asleep now, she would likely sleep until the next afternoon.
If she overslept, chaos might ensue, and at this thought, Bianca got out of bed in case she fell asleep again.
The time was pitch black.
It was too early to call for a servant, and too long to sit and wait for morning.
For a moment, Bianca thought that now was the perfect time to go to the library.
Quietly moving to wash her face and finish simple grooming, Bianca neatly put on a white coat and left the room.
Click.
With the unlocking sound, the knight who was guarding outside quickly lifted his head.
“Good morning.”
Bianca offered a slightly awkward smile as she greeted.
“Good morning, ma’am. If you need anything, I’ll call a maid right away.”
The knight’s words were mixed with the noise from the first floor.
“The individual will take care of themselves. The knights of the 7th fortress… What about the 4th floor of the Duke? There’s room on the 2nd and 4th floors…”
“The 7th fortress is on the 3rd floor. Place them at both ends.”
Busy.
Everything was busy.
Was it reasonable to expect attendance at this time?
Bianca shook her head slightly and smiled.
“Should I ask for assistance from a knight?”
“Please speak.”
A lady never moves alone.
Not only personal escort but usually three to five maids were always with her.
But Bianca, who had incurred the Emperor’s hatred, had never been allowed personal escorts or dedicated maids.
Everyone knew the situation, but where would high society consider such circumstances?
Had she moved alone, she would have been torn to pieces.
And then, the rumor would have gone around and back to the Emperor, and she would have been flogged.
To survive, Bianca had to be perfectly wicked.
She had naturally learned how to deal with knights.
“Would it be alright to ask you to guide me to the library? I’m not familiar with the way.”
Lacking an escort knight was still the case now.
All that was given to the banished princess was the dress she was wearing.
That’s how she arrived in the Northern Territories, and it was still the case now.
Arriving at Barlock, the absence of an escort knight, Bianca did not think that Gillian was neglecting her.
He simply didn’t have the opportunity.
“Do you need guidance?”
At the polite knight’s question,
“Wouldn’t the knights of the 7th fortress be more useful on the 1st or 4th floors?”
Following Hailey’s voice,
“The knights of the 7th fortress are on the 3rd floor. What’s more important than the floor where the Duchess is, Hailey?”
Gillian’s question mingled with the others and resonated.
Bianca had a prepared answer.
“Please, Sir. I do not want to awaken a young maid from her nap at this hour. A child must sleep well to grow.”
“A child.”
The knight’s cheek, expressionless like a wellmade statue, twitched for a moment, and a smile flashed across it.
“You’ll see, but Julie is still a little girl. She wants to grow quickly, and I want to help her.”
At the end of her speech, Bianca extended her hand to request an escort.
The knight did not hesitate and immediately placed his arm under Bianca’s hand.
“The library is one floor down. You must go down the stairs, so be careful with your footing.”
“I will.”
Escorted with the knight’s courteous manner, a day from the past suddenly came to mind.
“I request guidance on the road.”
“……It’s right on the right.”
The casual tone and lackadaisical attitude displayed towards a princess of a country was unbelievable.
If she stumbled on the stairs hidden by her voluminous dress, he would reluctantly grab her hand as though catching something dirty.
The arm of the knight that received her as though she were something precious.
Bianca felt a bit overwhelmed.
The library they arrived at before long was dark, and the knight, as though it were only natural, lit the fire and started the stove himself.
Once everything was arranged, the knight tried to leave, but Bianca stopped him.
“Sir, would you stay with me? I’m a little scared here.”
The place the knight would have headed to upon leaving the library was a dark corridor.
Bianca didn’t want to leave the grateful knight standing there.
“Ah, then I will stand here……”
“Sir, how about waiting while sitting? I feel quite uneasy……”
The whisper she let escape from the corner of her eye was powerful.
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.”
