Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 220
Leo III’s summons arrived extremely swiftly. Ariadne had already made a few preparations in anticipation of the king’s call. But Leo III summoned her so urgently that she nearly missed the timing altogether.
She had barely managed to get things in order before arriving at Palazzo Carlo, where she now stood in attendance.
“My lady.”
Leo III offered a seemingly benevolent smile and nodded toward a servant. A royal palace attendant quickly approached and poured tea into Ariadne’s cup.
“It’s been quite some time since such a young girl as yourself has entered this place, hasn’t it?”
“It is an infinite honor.”
She was seated in Leo III’s private study—an intensely personal space belonging solely to the king, a place even Duchess Rubina rarely entered.
Once the tea had been poured, the king dismissed even the servant with another nod.
“These books are ones I’ve collected since childhood. Mostly on the subjects of imperial studies and governance.”
Ariadne turned her head and glanced over the books lined up on the shelves. The selection itself was impressive. Yet, despite clearly being cleaned daily by palace maids—leaving no trace of dust—they strangely bore no signs of human touch. They were undoubtedly bought but never read.
“These are precious materials that reveal the very source of Your Majesty’s profound insight.”
Failing to catch Ariadne’s subtle sarcasm, Leo III chuckled contentedly.
“Loyalty is the foundation of the state. The sacrifices and devotion of the people uphold the nation’s integrity.”
He fixed his gaze firmly upon Ariadne. It was an expression of apparent goodwill.
“I hear you’ve recently been called ‘the Savior of Etruria’ outside the court.”
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.”
