The Ghost Lady Of The Duke's Family (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 45
“I pay my respects to Your Grace the Duke.”
The uneven sound caused by his cane came to a halt. Lutis spoke to the young man who bowed before him.
“Your father, the Former Steward of the capital residence, was of common birth. I heard he was granted the title of Baronet for aiding the Late Duke.”
“That is correct.”
It was a story both Lutis and Aeli had heard through intelligence.
Though the Former Steward held the title of Baronet, in truth it was an honorary rank—without lands, and impossible to pass on.
High nobles like the Ducal Family rarely appointed commoners to positions such as Head Maid or Head Servant; this must have been the Late Duke’s own workaround.
Thus, the man standing before them now was, by birth, a commoner. Ordinarily, once dismissed from his post as a servant, he should never have crossed their path again.
‘…Yet he committed embezzlement?’
Aeli, unable to hide her bewilderment, tilted her head slightly. Technically, it had been the current servant’s father—the Former Steward—who had done it, but even so, the mere fact that they hadn’t imprisoned him immediately and instead summoned him peacefully to the office was suspicious.
…Though she could guess why.
The boy stared wide-eyed at the man before him. Seeing that strangely affectionate look, Aeli quietly asked,
“…Do you know each other?”
The boy blinked rapidly.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he shook his head in denial—an answer that contradicted his earlier behavior.
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.”

Okay, so he can see her. Does it have something to do with the petal (・o・)
It turns out he actually hears her voice, I’m surprised.
