“Will Elizabeth unni be safe? What if she angers His Majesty and gets locked in the ice tower?”
“If Her Majesty is angry, she would have executed Viscount Netton first.”
“E-execution…?”
Susan’s face turned pale.
Franz, surprised, quickly explained.
“Oh, sorry. I misspoke. Such a thing won’t happen, but even if it did, I would stop it.”
“His Majesty?”
“Of course. For you, I can do anything… No, I can do anything for the literature professor.”
Franz quickly corrected his words.
Susan, who didn’t notice the noble boy’s verbal slip, smiled brightly.
“Now I feel relieved. Your Majesty is truly a kind person.”
“I often hear such words.”
Franz scratched his honey-colored blonde hair shyly.
‘Your Majesty is really cute. Your cheeks are soft and plump. I want to touch them once. Oh, what am I thinking…!’
Susan deliberately erased her inner thoughts and changed the topic.
“Brother, His Majesty and Elizabeth won’t be back for a while, according to what you said.”
“Is that so…”
“Elizabeth has become a fugitive, and is there any way we can help her?”
“We?”
“Yes. Your Majesty and me.”
Susan pointed at Franz and herself with her finger, alternating between them and gracefully raising her eyebrows.
Even that momentarily tinted her fair face with a rosy hue.
“I apologize! I behaved too presumptuously. To Your Highness, the little sky of the empire……”
“It won’t be difficult. I… to you…”
Franz couldn’t continue his words.
Franz’s face was also blushing, not inferior to Susan.
An awkward and warm silence echoed in the reception room.
As if trying to change the atmosphere, Franz abruptly stood up from the comfortable chair.
“Let’s go to Caress first. He might know something.”
The sixteenth temple was a small temple located in the southwest of the empire.
It was also known as the oldest temple in the empire.
Thanks to this, the footsteps of pilgrims and worshippers never ceased.
The narrow road was relatively well-maintained for a rural area.
Maybe because the saddle was comfortable.
Or perhaps because I was half-leaning against Nikolai.
Even though I was riding on a horse so high that it was pitch-dark, I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Nikolai, sitting on the back saddle, also looked comfortable.
I was truly in a snug state with Nikolai.
My back was pressed against his chest.
Was this a full backhug?
When I opened my eyes, Nikolai’s nose was visible.
It was confusing whether it was the heart or the horse that was beating.
When riding fast, my buttocks hurt, but as the destination approached, regret swelled.
Questions also arose.
‘Why is Nikolai going to the temple? He didn’t even ask Douglas. ‘
Well, Douglas is one thing.
Nikolai can’t stay still with his personality.
“How did you know I’m in that inn?”
“I smelled it.”
“What smell?”
“A special fragrance emanating from you.”
Is it a metaphorical expression?
Does it mean I smelled like sweat because I didn’t wash?
Reading my puzzled mind, Nikolai answered.
“Thanks to Archmage Arkanso, I knew you would come to the temple.”
“Are you talking about the youngest archmage studying dead flowers?”
“How do you know about him?”
I searched through all the theological books in the imperial palace to find the second relic.
I also gathered information on famous priests.
I can’t tell him everything though.
“He’s so famous. He’s said to be the only priest who can hear divine messages. Did Archmage Arkanso talk about me?”
“He wanted to meet you.”
“Me? Why?”
“To deliver the divine message.”
My heart felt guilty at the mention of the divine message. But I hadn’t been surprised yet.
“He didn’t tell me. He said I wasn’t worthy to hear the divine message.”
“But why me?”
“Because you possess the divine relic of the Goddess Moracinea.”
“!”
I almost slipped from the saddle. My heart skipped a beat. The hand holding the saddle handle trembled slightly.
It didn’t fall due to the revealed lie.
“Did he realize that Pinch is addicted to the divine relic?”
“How did he know?”
“I thought something was odd since you started spouting nonsense about ‘Young Ma.’ I didn’t bother to investigate, but it felt strange.”
“If you felt it was strange, why did you let it go? I could be the real culprit who poisoned His Majesty.”
Nikolai let out a low laugh.
“You’re quite a convincing liar. If you were lying, I would have noticed right away. You’re not good at lying.”
Feeling relieved that he trusted me, I pouted my lips.
“I have a secret too.”
“Secrets and lies are completely different things.”
“How are they different?”
“Lying is deceiving others for personal gain. Keeping something to yourself due to unavoidable circumstances or fear of not being understood is called a secret.”
“Does His Majesty… have a secret?”
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.”
