Reneb came to her senses in an unfamiliar cave.
It was night, and the temperature had dropped considerably, so Icar had apparently found this place to escape the cold.
Crackle, crackle.
Only the sound of burning branches filled the quiet cave.
Reneb opened her mouth as she hugged her knees and hunched her body next to it.
“What… happened?”
“What?”
Icar, who was throwing dry branches into the fire, glanced over.
“…Did you see it?”
It was a slight falter of her nearly whisperthin lips, but Icar did not miss it and retorted.
“What.”
Reneb buried her face in her hugged knees.
“My… body.”
“I saw it, then.”
“No! Why did you look!”
Reneb’s eyes widened as she jerked her head up. Then Icar, resting his chin on one knee, slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.
“If you didn’t want me to see, you shouldn’t have collapsed naked.”
Reneb slowly buried her face in her knees again. He wasn’t wrong. Moreover, she had seen Icar’s naked body as well, so she couldn’t argue further.
“Anyway, thank you for saving me.”
“This makes the third time.”
Reneb raised her gaze slightly, resting her chin on her knee.
“Third time?”
“The number of times you owe me your life.”
“Including just now and when we encountered the beasts, isn’t it twice?”
But three times?
“Think about it. This is the third time.”
Reneb pondered when the remaining time had been.
Then she recalled the incident at the estate.
Reneb almost threw a castrating kick at Lucius when he forcibly kissed her.
It was a thrilling moment, almost making a royal into a eunuch, so it seemed right that she owed Icar her life.
Naturally, Reneb’s head nodded.
“But, Sir, you seem to be very patient. The hot spring water was quite hot; was it not uncomfortable?”
Her whole body had been tingling after soaking in the hot spring for a good 30 minutes. That’s why she wasn’t that cold now.
“I liked it just fine. Are you naturally cold?”
“Well, compared to you, Sir.”
Reneb blankly stared at the burning flames, recalling Icar’s hot and large hand.
Likewise, Icar, who had been staring at the flames with his black eyebrows lowered, muttered,
“You must get cold easily at night, then.”
“Yes.”
Reneb nodded slightly, and Icar asked,
“Is this your first time going to Bashuker?”
“Yes.”
“It will be much hotter than Paradium. What else do you know about Bashuker?”
“As far as I know, until His Majesty the current Emperor ascended to the throne, Bashuker had little interaction with neighboring countries.”
“…”
“So there are rumors of a rough and barbaric people, but in reality, they are developed in culture, arts, commerce, and agriculture.”
A gleam spun in Icar’s eye at Reneb’s words.
“Interesting. Bashuker hasn’t been interacting with Paradium for long.”
But how did she know so much?
“……It seems you momentarily forgot that my father is the Western Border Duke.”
Reneb said a little haughtily. Acting haughty like this had the effect of making her look a little smarter.
“Right. Duke Siren possesses great ability. He’s competent enough to protect the Western Border for a long time.”
Unexpectedly, Icar agreed.
“The Viscount is also a promising person and…….”
Icar suddenly clamped his mouth shut there.
The slightly playful atmosphere vanished instantly, and he wore the face of a cold monarch.
A chill ran down her spine.
For the first time since she had willingly decided to study abroad, Reneb regretted her choice.
She recalled Icar, who alone quickly defeated the charging beast herd.
Icar in front of her was intimidating, but in a few years, he would literally be the embodiment of a cold and perfect monarch.
Starting from a small kingdom and reaching a mighty empire, all the surrounding countries were united.
All along, Reneb had come to the remaining Paradium palace, all alone.
As if to show off her confidence and arrogant nature.
As Reneb was swallowing her dry saliva, Icar, having taken his eyes off the flames, stared at her.
“Why do you look like that? You look as tense as a rabbit about to be caught.”
An incredibly sharp man he was.
A sense of a person born to dominate?
“Where in the world is there such a huge rabbit?”
Reneb suppressed her tension and calmly retorted as if it were absurd.
However, she couldn’t stop her fingertips from trembling slightly.
“There is.”
“What?”
“A giant rabbit, mainly appearing in the Bashuker northern mountain region.”
Icar’s eyes slightly curved as he spoke.
“You’re joking too much.”
“If you don’t believe it, don’t,” Icar added, shrugging his shoulders, as if to say don’t believe it.
“It might be better to keep an eye open.”
Her eyelids had been drooping with fatigue since coming out of the hot spring, although Icar’s sudden alertness had momentarily awakened her.
“Okay.”
Reneb nodded and laid down.
The leaves Icar had spread seemed to block the cold coming up from the floor, but it was insufficient.
Shivering from the cold, Reneb moved closer to the fire.
“You must be cold.”
The soft bass of Icar, sitting across, penetrated her ears.
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.”
