The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
“His Grace the Grand Duke has announced that he will commence a canal project in the western outskirts of the capital.”
“He is now officially recruiting investors and will soon hold an investment briefing.”
News of the canal project quickly spread among nobles and middle-class entrepreneurs operating factories in the capital’s industrial district.
The canal project required an enormous budget, making it something no one dared to initiate—until the Grand Ducal House stepped forward first.
Business owners, who had previously relied solely on carts to transport goods inland, welcomed the news of an inland canal with great enthusiasm.
“If goods arriving at the port can be transported inland by boat via the canal, it will be much faster and cheaper. Finished products could also be loaded directly onto trade ships.”
“Moreover, since this is a project led by the Grand Ducal House, it’s already proven—just look at the Elyos Grand Duchy’s railway project.”
Amid such rising expectations, the investment briefing for the canal project was held.
The Grand Hall of the Grand Ducal House, where the briefing took place, was packed not only with entrepreneurs but also journalists who had flocked in for coverage.
Outside the entrance to the Grand Hall, Aidel struggled to steady her breathing.
“Nervous?”
“A little… “
If she failed to persuade the investors and couldn’t secure funding… Her worry grew in proportion to her earnest desire to help the people of the Empire.
“It’s alright. You’ll do well.”
He gently patted her shoulder. Under his touch, Aidel felt her anxiety gradually fade away.

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.”

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
