“I greet the Moon of Regina.”
As the Empress appeared, everyone bowed their heads respectfully.
“That person is the Empress…?”
Lina subtly raised her head just enough to look at the Empress. Her golden hair was slightly lighter than Bleteus’s.
The straight gaze revealed gray eyes that seemed to exhibit the dignity of a woman.
“But her eyes aren’t red?”
The Emperor’s eyes were said to be azure, like Alex’s. That’s why Lina had assumed the Empress, Bleteus’s mother, would have red eyes.
Could someone in the Empress’s family have azure eyes? Just as this small question arose, the Empress spoke in a compassionate voice.
“Everyone, please rise.”
The Empress’s gaze, scrutinizing the faces of the people with a slight smile, soon came to a halt at Alex.
“Oh, Alex, what brings you here? The hunt has already started.”
“Well, I’m not interested in winning anyway. So, I’m planning to set off a bit leisurely.”
Phut. Eugene, laughing audibly, continued.
“It’s not that you’re not interested; it’s just that you’re not skilled, isn’t it? Without Count Fermannes, you can’t do anything. From childhood until now, continually [dash].”
Continuing with blatant disregard.
It was a mocking remark aimed at Alex, who was carrying the Fermannes family on his back and expanding his influence. But such things seemed familiar. Alex responded casually.
“To think you had such thoughts. Indeed, judgment seems to blur with age.”
“Your Highness.”
“Then, I’ll take my leave.”
After exchanging a nod with Ariana, Alex left his seat. The Empress’s attitude might have been somewhat unsettling.
The Empress, who maintained a calm expression, looked at Ariana.
“Princess. We met briefly last time.”
“Yes, Empress Mother. Have you been well?”
“I haven’t been well, it’s difficult to see a face like this in the same place… It truly hurts my heart. Princess, now that we are family.”
“Well…”
However, before Ariana could respond, the Empress continued as if not giving her a chance to speak.
“Although Alex is not the child born from my womb, I am his mother. It’s a bit much to treat him like this.”
“…I apologize, Empress Mother.”
“In the future, make sure the princess treats Alex well, as befits a child.”
“Yes.”
Eugene, who had a satisfied expression, with a raised corner of her mouth, looked at Lina beside her.
“But, what about Yeongae…”
“I greet the Moon of Regina. Empress Mother. I am Lina, the daughter of the Backsmith of Duthames. It is an honor to meet you.”
“Oh, right. You’re the daughter who became the adopted daughter of Duthames Backsmith this time. The fiancée of Fermannes Duke.”
Then, Eugene scrutinized Lina. An overt gaze, as if assessing the value of a product.
“Well, since it’s your first time in such a place, enjoy yourself.”
“Yes, Empress Mother.”
Then, the Empress climbed onto the prepared platform and delivered a congratulatory speech.
“Pettie Ferme has now reached its 150th year. As the 21st Empress and the ancestor of our family, Queen Estina, suggested that women should also participate in the hunting competition that was originally enjoyed only by men, and this event has continued to this day. Since this year marks the 150th anniversary. As the family of Empress Estina and our main family, the Greta Marquis family, we have prepared foxes. Well, please enjoy yourselves.”
After the Empress’s brief speech, applause erupted from here and there. Lina also clapped her hands in courtesy and found her place, but it was then.
“Yeongae!”
Michelle, who had come sometime, shook hands and approached Lina and Ariana.
“Ariana-nim, this is Miss Michelle Yeongae, the daughter of Duke Dartmouth. Michelle Yeongae is the fiancée of the 1st Prince, his Highness Alex.”
“Pleased to meet you, Princess.”
“Nice to meet you too, Dartmouth Yeongae.”
Lina, who introduced the two to each other, explained about Michelle’s connection, and at that moment.
“Princess, the Empress is looking for you.”
At the maid’s words, Ariana turned her gaze to the place where the Empress was sitting.
Under the awning set up to block the hot autumn sunlight, middle-aged ladies gathered around a tea table, enjoying tea.
“Yes, I understand. Then, Lina, see you later, Miss Dartmouth.”
Ariana’s steps, following the maid, revealed her disappointment, as if she wanted to spend more time together.
“Rather than that, will the princess have some tea, or will you take care of the animals?”
After pondering for a moment, Lina responded to Michelle’s question.
“I think, considering my nature, I’m more suited to being with the animals than elegantly sipping tea.”
“Oh, my, seems like our preferences match?”
“The foxes prepared this time are said to be brought from the Southern Continent. That’s why they are not easily seen.”
“Yes. There are rare species that inhabit the desertified areas in the Southern Continent. They are called desert foxes.”
As Lina entered the fenced area with a slightly excited heart following Michelle’s words, there were foxes gathered together, their ears perked up.
“Amazing.”
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.”
