Fortunately, when Rosé said it wasn’t, Demon’s flames calmed down. He asked with a calmer gaze.
“Work? What kind of work are you talking about.”
“Well……”
Rosé hesitated to speak. She was debating whether to discuss her business.
“I’ve been wanting to do something. I guess I need to be capable to be independent.”
Rosé spoke vaguely without going into details. Demon was about to ask more specifically what she was planning to do, but just then someone came.
A knock was heard on the door.
“Oh, they must be here. I’ll be right back!”
Rosé quickly opened the door. Demon and Libera were curious about who had come and stood behind Rosé.
“You’re early, Your Highness.”
“His Highness, the Duke?”
Demon’s eyes slightly widened at the sight of Duke Artem. He hadn’t expected the Duke to come.
“Oh my, are you going with the Duke?”
The Duke nodded at Libera and Demon.
“Would you like to have a cup of tea before you go?”
Libera offered kindly, but Rosé blocked her.
“We’ll have tea later. We have a lot to do today.”
Libera couldn’t hide her disappointment, but Rosé couldn’t help it.
‘The Duke looked a bit startled.’
If she hadn’t stopped him, he probably wouldn’t have refused Libera’s offer.
It would have been tough for him to refuse Libera, the wife of Demon, his master and student relationship.
“Let’s go, Your Highness.”
Rosé passed by the Duke’s side with a bright voice. Duke Artem followed Rosé after putting on his robe hat.
A carriage was waiting at the front of the alley. It wasn’t the Duke of Artem’s carriage.
It seemed he had rented a carriage from the village to move more freely under people’s gaze.
As they approached the carriage, Duke Artem naturally reached out his hand to Rosé. Now she was quite used to such escorting.
Rosé gently placed her hand on the Duke’s. Then she cautiously climbed up the carriage.
Libera’s dress was not as flamboyant and heavy as the one she wore in the Count’s house.
So she didn’t really need an escort. But she didn’t dislike the Duke’s hand reaching out to her.
Once Rosé settled inside the carriage, the Duke followed immediately.
‘I guess this is the first time I’m riding a carriage with the Duke.’
Rosé glanced at the Duke sitting next to her. The Duke took off his stifling robe and revealed his face.
His clear skin and fair face were exposed. Feeling Rosé’s gaze, Duke Artem looked at her.
“Then shall we go to the bank first? I have to give you the business funds.”
“Uhm……”
At the Duke’s words, Rosé couldn’t answer easily. Because of one thing that was bothering her inside.
Seeing Rosé trailing off, the Duke looked at her with a puzzled look.
‘I thought she would answer right away.’
The contrast between her persistent requests for business funds and her current hesitance struck him as dissonant.
However, the Duke’s suspicion was soon dispelled.
“Um… Your Grace, are you very busy today?”
Duke Artyom was indeed having a very busy time.
He was digging into the nobles of the Emperor’s faction, and was busy finding out the identity of the monster he encountered when he was accused as the murderer of Duke Bled.
And besides, he had a lot of basic work, so he was spending time even giving up sleep.
The Duke looked at Rosé, who was fiddling with her fingers while watching his face.
Her flushed face and twitching lips were unmistakably the signs of a woman in love.
Rosé, who had no intention of hiding her feelings unlike other times, looked cute to the Duke.
‘I can’t say I’m busy when she’s plucking up the courage to ask me out on a date.’
He misunderstood firmly again today, and opened his mouth.
“I’ve kept today free.”
At the Duke’s words, Rosé’s face brightened pleasantly.
“I’m really sorry, but… could you please do me one favor?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
You probably want a date with me.
The Duke looked at Rosé with a relaxed expression. However, the words that came out of Rosé’s mouth were different from the Duke’s expectations.
“I have a place I want to stop by before going to the bank. Can I go there first?”
At Rosé’s words, one of the Duke’s eyebrows went up.
‘…She’s not angry, is she?’
Rosé was worried whether her words had upset the Duke, but,
‘Since I’ve brought it up, let’s talk about it properly.’
She decided to face her fear.
“I have something to see at the temple.”
“The temple…?”
Where Count Wens’ wedding is being held.
He knew this from rumors. The whole empire was abuzz with the fact that he was remarrying immediately after his divorce.
Duke Artyom swallowed his words and looked at Rosé with a puzzled expression.
‘It’s not like she still has lingering feelings for Count Wens.’
Rosé carefully took out the wedding invitation she had brought with her and held it out to Duke Artyom.
“A maid from the count’s house bore Eric’s child. Because of this child, a butler who had worked for the Wens family for over 30 years was expelled.”
The Duke listened to Rosé’s words and took the invitation she handed him.
Even without receiving the invitation, he knew who the bridetobe was.
Belliar of the Ducal House of Dicar.
She was the star of today’s wedding.
“I guess she believed she was going to become the Countess. She tormented many of the maids I cherished… I’m embarrassed to say this, but I also suffered quite a bit.”
The Duke understood Rosé’s words.
“You’re going to mock that maid as if to show off, something like that?”
Rosé did not deny the Duke’s words and nodded. The Duke looked at her thoughtfully.
It wasn’t the date proposal he had anticipated, but it wasn’t a difficult request either.
“Well, before we go to the temple, let’s make one more stop.”
“Eh?”
At the Duke’s words, Rosé tilted her head. Although there was some time left until the start of the wedding, there wasn’t that much leeway.
However, Rosé had no choice but to agree with the Duke’s following words.
“It’s your exhusband’s wedding, I can’t let you go like this.”
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that…!
Rosé didn’t look shabby. But neither was it an outfit suitable for attending as a guest.
If she went like this, not only Eric and Doana, but also the guests attending the wedding might mock her.
Being talked about as a pitiful woman who was divorced, didn’t even have proper clothes to wear, and was hanging around her exhusband’s wedding.
Rosé clapped her hands, her eyes gleaming.
“Your Grace is really wise…!”
Rosé, who was looking at him with pure eyes, looked so adorable that he inadvertently laughed.
Rosé hid her burning eyes and smiled happily.
It wasn’t in my previous life, but in this life, I’ll laugh a lot, Doana.
You should also feel what it’s like to have your husband stolen.
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.”
