Perhaps pleased that Brody had granted his request, Ian laughed cheerfully.
“Bree.”
Ian staggered toward Brody. And he gently placed his hands on her tightly clenched hands.
Whether Brody had adjusted the dose properly, he could just barely maintain consciousness.
Enough to tease Brody.
“I came back alive.”
He lifted Brody’s hands and kissed them. Her cold hands felt too hot against his lips.
“Yes……. Welcome back.”
Brody answered with a trembling voice. But she wasn’t looking into his eyes.
Ian frowned, feeling a headache. When would the medicine take effect?
He thought of this place every day.
It wasn’t the dark and desolate barracks he missed.
She was…… here.
For the first time, he felt he wanted to return.
Not that he had to return, but that he wanted to…….
The time apart had made his mind clearer.
He wanted this woman.
He lowered his body close to Brody’s face and carefully moved his lips near hers. His lips moved cautiously in front of her nose.
‘Maybe just for today…… could I kiss her?’
His dazed consciousness aided his rationalization.
“Is it not okay?”
He asked.
“If you don’t like it, I won’t. Never.”
Brody was frowning, biting her lips. Her pupils shook, and her eyelids blinked rapidly.
Her heart wanted to close her eyes and accept his lips.
But could she?
She was trying to leave.
Especially since she knew that his heart was not light.
Her reason persuaded her to step back, but, contrary to that, her heart only throbbed more violently.
She didn’t know what to do.
Temptation, pressure, and guilt came all at once.
Whether he read that hesitation or not, he moved his lips closer as if begging in front of Brody’s lips.
Brody tightly closed her eyes.
Then Ian’s lips met Brody’s lips, which were tightly biting her own.
He pulled his lips away and turned his head to kiss the other side.
Strength entered Brody’s hands held by Ian, and conversely, strength left her lips.
With the quickening kisses, Brody felt her legs give way.
Aidan lifted her lightly and moved her to the bed.
The makeshift bed installed in the tent was not soft, but the soft and warm fur welcomed her.
“Brody……. Brody…….”
A slightly weary voice came from his mouth, calling her name.
‘Brody…….’
Brody clung to his neck in surprise, feeling as though tears would come.
‘I’m sorry, Your Highness. I can’t live up to your faith.’
[This is a time separator.]If Ferdan Fortress was conquered, the journey to descend to the Imperial City would have been as easy as eating cold rice.
Cities that were not properly fortified were captured one after the other.
Their battle formation was in disarray, as if they had never thought the fortress would be breached.
‘I never thought we would be this triumphant.’
Brody was shocked.
Originally, Aidan was destined to die by Brody.
After the death of the Northern Duke, the Duke’s forces were nearly annihilated.
The Duke was not only a symbolic center, but also skilled.
Seeing the results because he was alive, she felt how big the space he was filling.
‘From the Imperial Court’s point of view, ‘Brody’s’ merit must have been really great.’
Well, now it is something that did not happen.
In other words, the assassination failed, and Brody, who also provided food to the enemy, contributed to their forces, would be a complete traitor from their perspective.
She made a judgment instinctively.
‘I must never meet with the people from the Imperial side.’
So, on the contrary, to the forces in the North, Brody was a hero. Everything had gone smoothly since she came.
The Northern Duke and his soldiers cherished Brody like a goddess of fortune.
And Brody, seeing them, broke into a cold sweat. The extent of their cheers would be weighed as the weight of betrayal.
‘Ah……. Somehow…… things have come to this…….’
Brody let out deep sighs, watching the Duke and the soldiers, who had won and were returning, working in the field.
The more the Duke won, the longer the time it took to go down south and come back up.
It seemed that they would soon move the main camp further south.
“Aren’t you going?”
The leader, Cony, who was in charge of the captive women, asked Brody with a playful smile.
Somehow, Cony had naturally begun to speak honorifically.
Of course, it was not only Cony. Other captive women, and even the soldiers, gradually came to respect her.
It was awkward at first, but knowing that she was in a position to lead them, she decided to get used to it.
Cony’s gaunt face had a healthy amount of flesh, and vitality had returned to her fearful eyes.
Brody looked around the field.
She saw the lively faces of women like Cony.
Seeing them, Brody smiled and asked Cony.
“You can take care of the entire process without me now, can’t you?”
“Yes, I can. Just leave it to me.”
“Don’t reveal the secret method to anyone. It can save your lives.”
At Brody’s terse words, the woman nodded deeply.
“And please follow the Duke as much as possible. He’s done a lot for you.”
“Yes, I know.”
At her vigorous but naive answer, Brody also smiled brightly.
“Then I’ll go.”
Brody left the field and looked back as she walked away.
The woman felt Brody’s gaze and waved her hand.
Brody waved back at her.
For a moment, Brody stood like that before turning to walk away.
Cony felt strange.
‘Why does she act like she’s leaving? Hmm, is it because she’s going down south with the Duke?’
She tilted her head for a moment, but it was not a big concern for her. The woman turned her head back to the crops and smiled proudly.
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.”
