Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 218
The place Raphael took Ariadne to was upstream of the Tiber River, beyond the walls of San Carlo. It was late autumn under thick clouds, a beautiful riverside where cypress trees filled the rolling hills.
“Ariadne, thanks to you, I can come out beyond the walls like this.”
He spoke while facing the refreshing river breeze.
“When the Galico Kingdom’s army was strutting around freely, such a thing was unthinkable.”
Ariadne smiled faintly and looked down at her right hand.
If the retreat of the Galico Kingdom’s army was indeed thanks to Ariadne—if the freedom Raphael and Ariadne now enjoyed truly stemmed from her good deeds—would even that be tallied when reckoning her sins against her merits?

“It’s burning better than I expected.”
“It’s warm.”
“Oh dear. It shouldn’t be warm yet. I brought something extra because I was worried you might get cold.”
He opened a wicker basket and took out two sandwiches and a long-necked bottle.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
