As he left reality, Nikolai added arrogantly.
“The birth of the empress that the people have been waiting for. Prepare a splendid ceremony that will go down in history!”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I was moved to a different place within the imperial palace.
Unlike other extravagant, intimidating places, this one was decorated beautifully in white and mint colors.
Landscape paintings on the walls, velvet cushions with tassels, silver candlesticks, porcelain decorations; everything was harmonious and dignified.
The bedroom, dressing room, bathroom, and parlor were all separated, with no inconvenience in living.
There was even a small garden on the terrace.
Though it was blocked on all sides by dense hawthorn hedges.
“The knights will guard you day and night. Do not worry and rest at ease.”
The attitude of the knights had noticeably become polite.
Even so, they were merely jailers guarding a prison.
Click, the lock was secured from outside.
“Damn tyrant. What does he want to do with me?”
My head was throbbing.
Too many things had happened in a short time.
Not only me but also the futures of Douglas and Susan were at stake.
Every time Douglas’s desolate appearance being dragged away came to mind, guilt welled up.
Nikolai’s emotionless face looking down on him coldly.
Had I ever felt such intense hostility?
He had done more than the original character, never less, but always more.
The moment I thought he might have been a decent man was regrettable.
That I had kissed him, that I had been kissed on the back of the hand, was unbearably shameful.
“Let’s sort out the situation first.”
Sitting at the desk, I picked up a pen.
I had a lot to do.
I could not simply be played with on Nikolai’s palm.
Suppressing anger and frustration, I wrote it down.
He is completely insane.
(Sadly, his mind seems sharp?)
He is trying to use me.
(Is he trying to find rebellious nobles?)
He had no mercy for him.
(How to save Douglas and Susan?)
The more he wrote, the more he despaired.
‘I have tried a small trick, just in case…… but there’s no guarantee that it will help.’
The second special power didn’t help at all.
Rather, he felt like he would be sucked dry to the bone if he got caught by Morasinshia’s eyes on Nikolai.
He didn’t know how to find new hatred, or when the soul would disappear.
He was biting his pen, when he heard a rustling sound in the garden.
The thistle leaves, which had been acting like a fence, rustled.
A cat? Or a rat?
He approached the window and craned his neck.
“Who’s there?”
Was it the wind? There was no answer.
He returned to his desk. But the presence did not disappear.
He felt a gaze touching the back of his head.
Someone was undoubtedly watching him.
“Ahh. I must have been mistaken.”
He deliberately raised his voice.
Pretending to be distracted, he flew out onto the terrace when his opponent was off guard.
He couldn’t let go of a stalker peeking into a woman’s room!
“Ahh!”
The stalker screamed.
He nearly screamed himself.
A very different figure from what he had imagined popped out.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Your Majesty. You must now withdraw your command.”
Despite his loyal subject’s serious expression, Nikolai remained calm.
“Didn’t you say that you cannot leave the Empress’s position vacant?”
“Didn’t you say that you would use Elizabeth as bait?”
“Isn’t she a splendid bait? Everyone made interesting faces. Especially the leaders of the four great families.”
Nikolai spoke cheerfully.
Of course, he knew the situation was not so rosy.
Kidnapping her into the palace and taunting her about becoming the empress had been quite impulsive.
Unfamiliar anxiety often leads to impulsiveness.
He had failed to control that impulse.
Was it because of his greed to possess Elizabeth as soon as possible?
“You may end up blowing up the ammunition depot instead of making smoke to chase away the rats. In the process, Elizabeth may suffer.”
“When did you start worrying about her?”
“The more I see her, the more magnificent she seems.”
“……What?”
“I misunderstood her because of malicious rumors, but having seen her up close, I have never seen anyone as beautiful and elegant as Elizabeth.”
“Did you eat something wrong? Are you okay?”
Nikolai interrupted Caress’s words.
Caress lightly bowed his head, as if to graciously accept the heart.
“I am quite fine. May I speak a little more about Elizabeth?”
“Stop it.”
“You need to know her true worth, Your Majesty. Just as I did.”
A faint blush rose to Caress’s cheeks.
‘Why is Caress like this? He never even talks about his private emotions, let alone women.’
Staring at his babbling loyal subject, Nikolai rang the golden bell.
“Have you called for me, Your Majesty?”
A servant approached with a measured step.
“Call the court healer. My interior minister is gravely ill.”
“What?”
“He seems to have hurt his head. Hurry.”
“Right away!”
The servant withdrew.
Caress wore a serious expression.
“Didn’t you say you would divide the four prestigious families using Elizabeth?”
“And?”
“If you force her to become Empress, they will not divide but rather band together to resist.”
“You mean the gain is small and the risk is great?”
“They may plot something even more dangerous.”
“Such as?”
“What if they attempt to assassinate the Crown Princess?”
A ripple ran through Nikolai’s green eyes.
Even a cornered rat will bite a cat.
If a mouse that considered itself a tiger, it might have charged with its claws raised.
‘Elizabeth was assassinated because of me? Someone takes a life in my palace, takes the life of what’s mine?’
A rage that felt like the blood was surging in reverse engulfed him.
Nikolai clenched his fist.
“But I said I will not crown Elizabeth as the empress.”
“You’ve received a grace, so you must keep the promise.”
“I can’t even send her out of the palace. She’s already mine.”
“If there’s a trick to keep Lady Elizabeth in the palace without making her the empress?”
“It doesn’t matter even with the empress, right?”
“Of course.”
Caeron’s eyes sparkled.
Though his expression seemed somewhat entranced, Nikolai was very curious about what his loyal servant would say.
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.”
