“…This can’t be true.”
How can this happen?
Lena stared at the woman in the frame with trembling eyes. Except for the color of the hair, the woman depicted in the frame was no different from Lena herself.
‘What on earth…’
Lena’s hand holding the frame began to tremble delicately. Then, Domnemis, who found it strange, asked cautiously.
“Duchess, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable…”
But Lena couldn’t hear Domnemis’s words, even his concerned tone, in her ears right now.
Because strange memories were fleeting through her mind.
“Ugh…”
“Duchess!”
[“Something useless, it’s a shame for the Domnemis family! How did a magic-less brat like you, born in our family, come into existence… Tsk.”]‘What is this?’
Scenes she had never seen before flashed through her mind in a chaotic mess. Like a severely tangled thread, her mind became intricately twisted.
[“It would have been better if something like you were never born.”]‘What are these memories?’
People she had never seen before scolded her harshly. However, she, without a word of rebellion, just nodded her head.
Truly pathetic.
“I am…”
As if someone else’s memories were randomly overturning her mind. No, is it really someone else’s memories?
Perhaps these memories…
Lena’s legs, feeling too heavy to even stand, gave way.
“Duchess…!”
Surprised, Domnemis rushed towards her, and that was the last thing Lena saw before her vision went dark.
Family disgrace.
The flaw in the family.
It was like a label that stuck to me.
Being the direct descendant of the family with the thickest bloodline, but a magic-less brat.
Everyone ignored such me, and I wished to disappear.
Father, mother, even my siblings.
“Hey, Lena. Bring that thing hanging on the tree over there.”
At the tip of the finger pointed by a boy who looked about fourteen, a handkerchief was hanging precariously on a branch.
For a ten-year-old girl, the tree was too high to reach, and it was dangerous to fall into the lake if not careful.
“Me?”
At the sound of my frightened voice, my cousins shrugged as if they had expected it.
“Even you, Lena. Can’t even do something like that without magic, huh.”
“Oh, right. That’s true. Lena, you still haven’t manifested magic, right? Are you really a direct descendant of the Domnemis family? Looking at the hair and eye color, you’re undoubtedly the blood of our family… but if you don’t have magic and you’re so timid, are you going to be kicked out of your house?”
Being kicked out of the house was the scariest thing for me.
Not only my cousins but also the servants in the house spat out such words whenever I passed by.
Moreover, as my parents became increasingly cold, I always feared that those words might become true.
“Do I just need to bring that…?”
“Yeah, if you have Domnemis blood, even a five-year-old could do that.”
In the end, fearing that my parents would find out about my cowardice, I reluctantly moved to get the handkerchief.
As I approached the lakeside with a heavy heart, my reflection appeared in the water.
Jet-black hair, mysterious purple eyes.
It was undoubtedly the mark of the Domnemis family.
‘But why am I…’
Why can’t I use magic?
When my cousins manifested magic at the age of five, there was no change for me even when I turned ten.
Although I, as the direct heir, should inherit the family eventually, the family head of a magical family couldn’t use magic.
‘I might really be kicked out.’
Parents who proudly showed off my hair and eyes, claiming to have inherited the strong Domnemis blood, gradually started to become colder toward me as I reached ten without manifesting any magic.
‘If my cousins don’t ignore me, maybe…’
Perhaps they’ll treat me kindly like they used to if I bring this handkerchief. I began to harbor a strange delusion.
With renewed determination, Lena clenched her fist.
‘If I dive in here…’
The lake water, already shivering even in the hot summer, would surely be bone-chilling cold in the autumn.
Taking a deep breath, I approached the water slowly, reassuring myself.
‘If I’m careful, everything will be fine.’
Thinking that I wouldn’t fall into the water, my judgment proved to be wrong not long after.
As always, my brothers, who were prepared to make a fool of me, had made solid preparations to tease me.
Suddenly, due to a strange force, Lena’s legs twisted.
And then…
Splash!
With a sound echoing by the lakeside, I ended up falling into the water.
But my brothers, who watched, just chuckled and laughed, looking at me struggling.
“I read in a book that magic can manifest when your life is in danger. This is all for you, Lena. So come out alone once, okay?”
“P-Please, save me!”
“If you really have the blood of our family, you should be able to figure that out on your own.”
They did devilish deeds with angelic faces.
Unable to swim, unable to use magic, the only way for me to survive in this lake was for someone to help me.
‘I can’t breathe.’
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.”
