He was then suddenly startled and shook his head.

“Shall I change it to a whip?”

“No, no! I’ll do it!”

The gardener quickly got down and energetically began doing pushups.

“One! Two! Three! Four!”

His voice boomed. My eyes were drawn to his back.

His broad back, as wide as a sports field, showed off his bulging arm muscles as he went down and up.

‘Wow.’

I couldn’t take my eyes off him as the masculine beauty was overwhelming.

“……Nineteen! Twenty!”

The gardener, who quickly finished his pushups, put a little strength into his arms and jumped lightly to his feet.

‘Is it because he’s muscular?’

I was surprised at his springlike bouncing. Besides, I had just given him a hard time, but he didn’t seem tired at all as he casually brushed off his clothes.

Before he looked at me, I quickly commanded.

“Who said you could get up at the end?”

“Huh!”

The startled gardener quickly did another sprawl. My command was a bit unreasonable, but it couldn’t be helped.

I was trying to correct the gardener’s fleeing behavior to be more fitting of a villainess.

But I couldn’t let him see my relaxed expression, amused by the unexpected muscle show.

Even his bouncing up was funny, so I couldn’t keep a stern face.

Having thus fixed his gaze on the ground, I wiped an apple with a handkerchief, asking nonchalantly.

“You know why I’m doing this, don’t you?”

Then the gardener apologized to me in a terrified voice.

“Ma’am, I was wrong.”

“Tell me what you did wrong.”

The gardener was at a loss for words and couldn’t answer quickly.

Was apologizing for running away without greeting that difficult?

“You want to see all of my temper?”

He inhaled sharply and spoke with force.

“I will tell you!”

But his voice quickly dropped, as if he was afraid someone might hear.

“I didn’t go to the secret meeting.”

Yes, greetings must be…… huh?

“Explain in detail.”

“Five months ago, I disobeyed the order to ‘have a secret meeting in the garden at midnight.'”

“……?”

I was confused. What on earth was the gardener talking about?

“Why did I give such an order?”

“You said I had to arouse suspicion at the time when the master was returning……”

I asked more, trying to remain composed.

“Don’t trail off; speak clearly.”

“You said we had to provoke the master’s jealousy.”

“……”

Wait, did Ellen think Philip would be jealous?

Wouldn’t he dislike her more, suspecting an improper relationship?

I was so surprised that I lost my words.

“I’m really sorry, ma’am. I wanted to cooperate as much as possible, but……”

His voice was tinged with a choke.

“I told you it would be difficult even then. No matter how I thought about it, if I did that, I felt like I would end up on the streets……”

“……”

Ah…… Ellen…… How many unexploded mines are there?

A deep sigh escapes me.

I rubbed the back of my head, recalling the time when I was possessed, when I was hit on the woodblock.

‘I wish I could go back to reality. I want to find the author and beat him.’

I want to lock up the author and make him write again, only giving him dumplings.

“No, it’s because of that incident.”

“…What?”

“Stop getting up.”

I quickly stopped him as the muscles in the gardener’s arm were about to tighten again.

“Don’t resist, behave.”

The gardener obediently got up at my command. Watching him swiftly rise, I deliberately clenched my mouth and put force in my eyes.

It would be troublesome if I started laughing here.

And the gardener, who made eye contact with me again, knelt down with an expression like a wet puppy. He seemed scared by my expression, though I hadn’t told him to do so.

“Forget about the secret meeting. I was just angry back then.”

I’m sorry for bullying you. I threw him an apple I had wiped with a handkerchief. The gardener caught the apple carefully with both hands.

“What?”

“Say hello properly when you see me. Don’t avoid it.”

He, who had been flustered, promptly nodded his head.

“Oh, I understand, ma’am.”

“That’s good enough. Continue with your work.”

I turned away from the gardener.

Behind me, I heard the crunching sound of the apple being chewed. When I looked back, he was taking a big bite of the apple I had given him.

When our eyes met again, the gardener hurriedly lowered his head, stuffing the rest of the apple into his mouth.

Leaving the gardener to his work, I walked down the path, recalling his behavior just now.

‘Is it because he’s big? The apple fits in one bite?’

No matter how I think about it, I can’t fit that apple into my mouth in one bite.

‘That’s strange.’

Moreover, I felt unexpectedly pleased that he accepted my apple, and a giggle escaped me.

“What has pleased you?”

Philip was there, though I hadn’t noticed when he had arrived.

Would Philip, with that neat face, be able to put an apple in his mouth in one bite?

But I can’t ask Philip to try such a thing.

Imagining it only made me laugh more.

“Heehee! It’s nothing.”

I was embarrassed at laughing alone and covered my mouth with both hands, but Philip made an odd remark.

“It seems you shared a light joke with the gardener.”

“What?”

When I met Philip’s eyes, he slightly averted my gaze, looking awkward.

“I didn’t mean to watch, but it was visible from the window. It looked like you were playing with a puppy.”

I had given punishment, but did it look like that in Philip’s eyes?

“…”

When I fell silent, looking up at him, Philip cleared his throat.

“There are several excellent breeds of dogs over there. They are trained, so playing with them would be better than making people bow to you.”

He had been watching precisely.

Perhaps he had witnessed me tormenting the gardener and had come out to stop me?

“It wasn’t playing, I was punishing him for not greeting me.”

“For not greeting you?”

I asserted calmly.

“A servant of the mansion saw the mistress and ran away without greeting. Is there a problem with my behavior?”

Philip’s expression, which had been rolling his eyes left and right, suddenly lightened.

“Heyde was rude. I will imprison him for three days.”

“What?”

“Let’s do it right away.”

As he began to move, I quickly grabbed his arm.

“Wait a minute. Why are you like this, Philip?”

“Why am I?”

“It’s a bit strange.”

“Being disrespectful to the Countess is punishable. According to the employment regulations, servants must show courtesy to their employer.”

“…You are right, but…”

Why so extreme?

I looked closely at Philip’s demeanor, wondering if he was serious. Philip asked me.

“Or should we fire him instead?”

No matter how I looked, he seemed serious.

“…”

When I didn’t answer and kept staring at him, Philip shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s up to you, ma’am.”

‘No, why is he like this all of a sudden?’

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.”
