Hwangbi returned to her quarters, tightly closed and then opened her eyes. The reality was hard to believe.
“No, what on earth! Siren Marquis Yeongae and the Emperor of Vaskyr are engaged!”
Hwangbi questioned the Countess Andney as if accusing her.
“…I am also extremely bewildered.”
The news of their engagement was equally shocking to the Countess Andney, Hwangbi’s maid. To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, she had planted people in Vaskyr. However, there had been no mention of the engagement between the two.
“As I asked you to find out what happened, news will arrive soon.”
Saying that, the Countess Andney offered a slightly chilled tea to Hwangbi.
Hwangbi raised the cup to her lips, her throat tightening as she swallowed the tea.
“If things go like this, what will happen to all the plans I’ve laid out… Oh my.”
It was dreadful just to think about it. If things continued like this, the carefully ongoing plans could become futile in an instant.
Hwangbi had secretly built relationships with the southern noble factions. To counter the northern noble faction where the Empress’s family belonged, there was no other way at the moment. This was the only way to elevate her son Lucius to the throne.
Currently, Lucius’s unofficial succession to the throne ranked third. If the first and second princes were eliminated, he would effectively become the first in line for the throne.
However, the carefully prepared plan for the assassination of the first prince over many years had failed, and to avoid unnecessary suspicion, it was now appropriate to take a different approach.
Moreover, another part of Hwangbi’s plan had gone awry: the marriage between Lucius and the Siren Marquis’s daughter.
She still vividly remembered.
The disdainful look from the Siren Marquis’s daughter, who considered her nothing more than a concubine, despite being addressed as Hwangbi.
So she made up her mind.
‘Let’s see if a woman who despises me can calmly smile when her son and my daughter get married.’
Furthermore, she would make the son of the woman who disdained her suffer the disgrace of welcoming him as the master.
So, Hwangbi frequently arranged for Lucius to socialize with the Siren Marquis’s daughter. It was partly out of spite, and partly because they needed the military strength of the Siren Marquis.
For a while, things seemed to be going well.
Lucius had made quite an impression on the Siren Marquis’s daughter, and she had fallen deeply for him. Her submissive personality was almost absurd; she would do anything for Lucius, even if he asked for the moon.
It seemed like Hwangbi’s plan was succeeding for a while.
Just when she was confident, the reckless actions of the Siren Marquis’s daughter turned everything upside down.
She would leave for Paradium in place of the princess. Hwangbi, who had thought the Siren Marquis’s daughter was somewhat clever in her own way, immediately reassessed her.
She was incredibly foolish.
Although on the surface, it was referred to as cultural exchange and studying abroad between the two countries, it was, in fact, a hostage situation.
‘Looking back now, she was so foolish and ridiculously sentimental.’
And soon, she regained her composure.
Thinking about it, it was rather a good thing. Before marrying Lucius, she found a flaw in the Siren Marquis’s daughter.
Of course, even if she resolved to accept it, her feelings didn’t easily subside.
“Sigh…”
Hwangbi sat on the sofa and let out a deep sigh. The attempt to find lessons from the past was in vain; there was nothing left.
Except that the Siren Marquis’s daughter was incredibly foolish.
“I have no idea what other methods I should use now.”
Hwangbi shook her head helplessly.
The plan to handle the Siren Marquis, redistribute his military power to the southern noble faction, and other plans had become meaningless.
Unlike other nobles, the Siren Marquis was not someone who could sleep soundly in her palm.
He did not possess the characteristics of a high-ranking noble who valued social reputation and honor more than anything else.
Even though she subtly mocked him as the Emperor’s dog, he didn’t waver.
He wasn’t ashamed.
In fact, he seemed to have little interest in what others were gossiping about.
That irked Hwangbi even more.
He was not someone who could be controlled by her, nor did he crumble under her influence.
And what she hated most in the world right now was his daughter, Reneve Siren.
Hwangbi rubbed her forehead. Her head had been throbbing a bit since a while ago.
“Hwangbi, shall I prepare medicine for you?”
The Countess Andney, who had been by her side with a worried expression, asked.
Hwangbi just nodded slightly.
Soon, the Countess Andney offered medicine and a cup of water from a drawer.
“Take it. It will ease your pain.”
Hwangbi put the medicine in her mouth and drank a glass of water. Although the medicine wouldn’t take effect immediately, she felt a little better emotionally.
“Well, it’s never been like this before.”
Looking at Hwangbi, who was murmuring to herself, the Countess Andney asked.
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.”
