Staying alone in the bathroom for too long, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
“Damn it.”
Icar muttered a curse, roughly running his hand through his hair. Then he found the cause of the rising heat.
Was it the problem of having alcohol with the evening meal?
Yeah. Being in the high-temperature bathroom in his current intoxicated state must have accelerated the blood circulation.
Icar continued to make excuses for the rising heat while licking his dry lips.
Yeah, he considered it the reason.
Was he always such an impulsive person?
Icar usually didn’t reflect on or regret his actions.
There was a lot to do, and there was no time or energy to spend on regrets.
But at this moment, he found himself constantly reflecting on himself.
Because there was no sign of the heat subsiding.
Meanwhile, back in the guest room, Esika, who had returned since the morning of the Emperor’s birthday, was busy turning her head without remembering that she hadn’t slept since yesterday.
Seeing Esika’s somewhat hysterical appearance, a maid cautiously asked, “Princess, I’ve prepared the meal. Would you like to have even a little?”
It was worrying to see her confined only to her bedroom since returning to the palace in the morning of the Emperor’s birthday.
However, in the current situation, there was no way she could properly swallow anything.
“Never mind.”
Expressing her lack of interest, Esika made a dismissive expression, and the maid bowed her head with a tactful expression.
“Just a moment.”
As the maid was about to leave the room, Esika turned her body.
“Do you need something?”
“Have there been any new rumors?”
“If it’s rumors, could you please specify the type?”
“…No, forget it. Just go.”
As the maid bowed and reached for the doorknob to leave, Esika spoke again.
“Uh, the guest from Paradisium, the one who arrived recently.”
“Yes.”
“Can you find out about the situation over there?”
The maid couldn’t accurately discern what the princess wanted, but she nodded anyway.
The princess occasionally had times when she thought deeply like that, and from her experience, it was prudent not to touch her when she was like that.
“Yes, Princess.”
So the maid replied gently and then placed the prepared meal on the living room table.
After that, she headed towards where the guest from Paradisium was staying. It was just to appeal that she had done something for the princess.
‘Let’s fill some time and then return.’
Thinking so, the maid, who had been wandering around the guest room, found a place to sit nearby. It was a bit chilly, but bearable.
‘Should I go back soon?’
After some time had passed, just as the maid, who was about to get up and leave, had a sudden question and turned her head toward the guest room.
‘One or two people should have come out to deliver the meal…’
No one seemed to be coming out or going in.
The four guests stayed in separate cottages, and their meals were prepared in one place.
So someone had to open the door and come out to deliver the meal for the guests.
As the maid, hiding in the thicket, pondered this, she realized it when the sky had darkened.
“Ah…!”
That there was no one in the guest room.
Considering the season when the day got darker quickly, the inside should have been brightly lit with a fire by now.
However, the guest room remained dark even as the sun set.
The maid, who found news to convey to the princess, quickly moved her steps.
“Have you come?”
Entering the entrance eerily, Esika asked with a sneer if the princess had found out something.
“The guest from Paradisium doesn’t seem to be in the cottage.”
“What are you talking about?”
The maid recounted what she had seen a while ago as it was.
“I watched it for a while from the front, and there was no one coming and going.”
“…”
“There were no people coming and going to deliver meals, and even as the day darkened, they didn’t light a fire.”
The princess, who seemed lost in thought, suddenly turned her gaze down and hurriedly spoke, turning towards her bedroom.
“You’ve worked hard. And if you need anything, don’t come into the room. I’ll call you if necessary, so don’t knock on the door. I need to think deeply, so just leave me alone.”
With only those words, the princess entered her bedroom.
The maid, who was about to ask how she would handle dinner, soon gave up.
‘If she’s hungry, she’ll ask for a meal.’
Having missed the mealtime due to her outing, the maid must have been quite hungry.
The maid, who filled her hungry stomach, lingered in front of the princess’s bedroom before returning to her own room.
All day, the princess had not moved from her bed, and although the maid was a bit worried, there was no need to unnecessarily bother her.
“…….,”
Feeling no signs of any activity inside the room, the maid, away from the princess’s bedroom door, went back to her room to sleep.
“Hey, hey. Wake up a bit.”
The maid, awakened by someone shaking her, blinked her eyes sleepily.
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.”
