“Lower your waist!”
Katarina stepped on the tree outside and slashed the crow’s neck with a blade.
“It’s a dark magic ritual. Why is a dead crow…!”
The severed crow’s head nodded.
The severed head, liquefied by mucous, attached itself to the torso.
The crow scratched its neck with its talons, twisting it backward.
Caw.
Caw.
The captain of the guard, who was guarding, threw a javelin.
“It seems attached to the corpse of a dead bird.”
“The smell of a rotten corpse vibrates.”
It was the foul odor of lesser demons that they dealt with on the eradication front.
The glass pane on the window frame shattered, and shards scattered.
Sharlof took a crossbow in his hand.
“That’s not a corpse.”
“What?”
“He was attached and dying.”
Bang!
Sharlof aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.
The bullet struck the dying creature’s head.
Bang!
The crow’s eyes burst wide open.
What should I do? It seemed to ask.
Oh, is it you? Did you choose that path?
“Prepare to leave.”
The father gave up being human.
“I need to visit the imperial villa.”
He began to weigh his own child.
He seems to sacrifice his son to the altar.
The unofficial imperial villa.
“Is the reinforcement far away?”
“I’ve raised the signal, but not yet.”
Covered with a red roof and surrounded by a wide fence, it was a place where the extinct Hwangjoku was once confined.
Now it served as the empress’s personal villa, but there were hardly any visitors.
“Uh, where did it go wrong, why, why, why in the world. Exactly why?”
Cloe stopped breathing.
A guard drew a knife, strangled the crow’s neck, and shouted.
“Darn it! Didn’t you hear me say to avoid the body?”
“My, my ankle got twisted! Me too, me too! I didn’t mean to end up like this, stuck in a mess…”
Cloe lost consciousness. Something went wrong.
“I, I never wanted this.”
Everything was for the child.
My baby, my baby, was my choice for you wrong?
Was I wrong? Was the child wrong?
Cloe groped for her trembling hand.
She slapped the child’s tender cheek. The cheek that hadn’t shed baby fat yet… Ouch!
Damn, I’m disgusting. Nausea rose, and gastric juice refluxed.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
The crow narrowed its pupils at the desperate scream.
“Where is my child? My baby! Damn crows! Before I rip out all your eyeballs, die already!”
You can peel off my skin. I don’t mind dying.
But, not my child.
I didn’t want my child to end up like this.
What went wrong? No. Who went wrong?
Bang!
A gunshot echoed.
Cloe lifted her head.
Feathers of dead crows fluttered in the air. Caw! Caw!
“Ah…!”
A dead crow fell lifelessly beside Cloe. The rotten corpse turned into ashes.
Breath stagnated, choked up to the tip of the chin, making it stifling.
“The ones feasting on the corpse are unfortunately lurking.”
Sharlof whispered softly, wetting his coat.
A crow perched on the wall cawed unpleasantly. Like waiting for its prey to die, a gloomy aura spread.
“Draw your swords.”
The cavalry lowered their waists. Sharlof dismounted, sweeping the horse’s mane.
Haah .
She sighed lightly and muttered.
“The area is chaotic due to the venom of lesser demons.”
“The kingdom’s sword, accompanying Her Majesty, will protect her side.”
Initially, even the Royal Guard opposed it, saying it was impossible.
‘Are you going there yourself?’
‘There has been a report of a lesser demon attack at the imperial villa!’
Afterward, the empress silently pressed her shoulders.
Open the way.
Walk side by side but do not block the path.
The Royal Guard raised their swords and commanded.
“Purge the demons attacking the imperial city!”
The guards twisted the hands holding the swords.
Even while wielding their swords to purge the demons, the Royal Guard pondered such a question.
‘What is this eerie feeling that scratches deep into my bones?’
Why?
The empress was such a person who raised fundamental questions.
Eyes depleted of all emotions, only emptiness remained in that gaze.
A feeling of losing the fundamental nature that every human should possess.
The empress’s gaze was cold. Sweeping through the icy layers and carrying a chilling cold, she seemed like a person wrapped in frozen skin.
Inside, it was empty.
Such peculiarity flowed beside the empress.
The Royal Guard tightened the grip on their swords.
They must open the way.
Clear the path for those blocking the empress’s way.
“Where will you go?”
“……”
“We will walk together until our steps reach their destination.”
“Forbidden dark magic has taken root. Punish those who disturbed order in confusion, and join forces with the imperial guards.”
Katarina opened the way.
“We follow the words of the Hwangga.”
With the emperor on a diplomatic trip, the empress took charge of her duties.
The imperial family, which had fought against demons, considered the empress’s duties crucial.
“Return quietly. Many have gone to bed as the night deepens.”
The Royal Guard dispersed inside.
“It’s a corrupted lesser demon! Behead them, and announce the empire’s strength!”
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.”
