This time, it seemed like it was my turn to burst into laughter. Lord Rokard Kaidel Gongja, the most popular man in the empire, was in the middle of seducing me.
If all the women who desired him were lined up, it would probably extend all the way to the lower village of Tunbar Mountain where I used to live. And such a man with me?
In the end, I couldn’t laugh, and he didn’t loosen his stern expression.
I, with wandering eyes, couldn’t do anything, and I hesitated as I asked.
His erratic emotional fluctuations, yet an attitude that pushes everything forward as if everything is predetermined, clashed and squeaked against each other.
“No. This is not it.”
“Is this the first time you’ve been concerned about a woman?”
“Isn’t it the same for Lorisya Yang? Are there no men other than me?”
“What? Men, no, ‘other than me’…”
This guy is saying that unless there is someone else for me, naturally he is my man!
“Answer.”
“There is, but…”
Feeling pathetic about why I answered and sat down, I stared at the wall. Then he, too, turned his head as if he found what he said embarrassing.
We sighed facing different walls while ignoring each other.
I slowly lay down, pulling the blanket up to cover my head.
‘Mom… Where is this? Does Mom know?’
“Mom!”
Suddenly, the wind from my blanket being lifted made me scream in surprise.
Lord Kaidel Gongja said angrily.
“When someone important speaks, listen seriously!”
“Do I not seem serious?”
“I’m sorry for surprising you. But if I don’t bring it up now… It’s only now before you get into another accident.”
To be hunted down by the 1st Prince of the Empire. People who want to say something to me should hurry up and come.
“Well, it’s hard to argue about that part.”
“Okay. Then, let’s agree on the next part too. I will call you affectionately from now on. There are a few things, but since your opinion is important, tell me if you want anything.”
“Um, what now…”
“And don’t lock the window from now on. I came up the wall with a lot of effort, but if the window is locked, it feels… quite dirty. It’s not at all blaming you.”
Ha! It seems he was trying to sneak into my room again.
But if he says that kind of thing so seriously and truthfully, what should I do?
“Sometimes it would be nice if you came out to meet me. If you hide too often, there’s a risk of getting caught… and sneaking around too much isn’t good.”
In a dazed state, I imagined him climbing the wall like a lizard.
If the perfect image of the empire’s representative handsome man is caught doing that by the palace maids… well, that’s something a human can’t do.
He continued to speak as if he didn’t care that he had pushed me into a precipice of delusions.
“If you want to decide my nickname, do it as you please. But I hope you won’t use it in front of people if possible. No matter how much I think about it, I seem to be a bit conservative in that regard.”
Hmm. He must have ‘thought about it’ a lot.
“Gongja-nim…”
“Of course, when we’re alone, you can call me as you please. You can swear at me too. In fact, I saw how much you admired it when you heard Galbain’s swearing on the ship. If it’s your taste, I respect it.”
The name of that sailor I wanted to serve as a teacher for the first time since Miss Julia was Galbain.
But did Lord Gongja think that was the important thing now?
Above all, I couldn’t understand why someone like that excels in an academy where only the geniuses of the empire gather.
Why did I stake my life and study fiercely just to go to such a place?
Come to think of it, Misha also went there, and the child has changed a lot. The academy was undoubtedly a suspicious place.
This was something to discuss with the viscount. After all, he has a significant influence on the operation of the academy.
And I needed a break too. Since entering the palace, I’ve never taken a vacation, even after getting beaten and injured. I wanted to take a short vacation and stay at the villa.
I wanted to eat the grilled beef ribs dish made by Moria.
But when will the next competition start?
I realized that Kaidel Gongja’s slightly thin lips, which didn’t stop murmuring, gave a strong impression.
He seems to have the kind of charm that women like, tormenting people like this. Such a troublesome person.
By the way, is swearing a preference? Seriously?
“Lorisya Yang?”
“Huh? Yes? Why?”
“Did you just hear what I said?”
“No!”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
