The Dark Lord Obsesses Over His Fake Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
Estelle’s clear azure eyes trembled violently. Her long, white eyelashes fluttered faintly. The hand that held hers—Estelle’s own—was trembling as well.
“Wh-why would the Duke do such a thing?”
“What do you think?”
Johan did not kindly answer Estelle’s question.
“Why would the man who married you destroy your entire family?”
He slowly observed the woman’s reaction—her heart racing, her expression bewildered, and the warmth quietly fading from the hand that had so gently held his.
“I don’t really know. How could I, when the Duke hasn’t told me anything?”
Estelle, who had briefly lowered her head, finally spoke.
“Were my parents arrested under false accusations?”
“No.”
Estelle slowly lifted her gaze to meet Johan’s eyes. Anxiety and trembling emanated from her hunched shoulders.
“They were arrested for the crimes they truly committed.”
In the Empire, even fabricating treason and pinning it on someone was itself considered treason.
That was precisely because treason was such a grave offense—especially in cases like the Blanchet Dukedom, where an entire family had been utterly eradicated.

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.”
