The next day.
The intense snowstorm had stopped.
There were no thick clouds or fog, and the bright sun shone brilliantly.
“I’m relieved.”
I was worried about the weather until today, but it was reassuring.
We decided to move in the direction of the campsite.
But there was one problem.
“What about the kid?”
Keying, King [Dash]
The baby fox that came into the cave last night was still with me.
Under the sun, its silver fur looked like silk.
“Now I understand why it’s called a silver fox.”
Even though it was still young, its fur made it a target for hunters.
The biggest problem was that I couldn’t see its mother anywhere.
“Can it live alone?”
I wondered when it became alone; its small body clung to my ankles.
Could it survive by hunting with that body?
While contemplating this, Hayang’s scream came from my feet.
“Dry the kid off!”
The silver fox was rolling Hayang like a ball.
“Hayang, it’s good to have a friend.”
“Where do you see a friend… Ah, A-yang!”
Kyarrung [Dash]!
Nibble, nibble.
It seemed like the fox found playing with Hayang quite entertaining.
“Since they seem to get along well, is it okay to take it with us?”
I heard that sometimes people raise baby foxes like this.
I hugged both Hayang and the silver fox at the same time.
“All right, that’s enough. It’s time to go back now.”
“Are you taking this one too?”
“It seems like it lost its mom; it’s pitiful.”
“Can it live well alone… Ah-yang, Ah-yang [Dash]!”
Kyarrung!
The silver fox nibbled on Hayang’s fur.
It seemed to like the white furball, much like itself.
With both of them happily getting along, I approached Kashar.
“What are you doing?”
Kashar was staring beyond the snow-covered forest.
After a while, he pointed in a certain direction.
Although nothing was visible there, the sound came first.
“The sound of hooves.”
A rescue team dispatched by the hunting competition and Kashar’s knights were mixed together.
“We found them! They’re here!”
The rescue team signaled that they found the survivors.
In the meantime, the knights were running towards us.
“They’re alive.”
Although the weather had cleared, the thought of traversing the snowfield for a long time was daunting.
Nevertheless, I was relieved.
“Eileen, is that you?”
Among the knights, Rudvion stepped forward.
“Rudvion. I’m glad you’re safe.”
Seeing me, Rudvion squinted his eyes and opened them wide.
There was a sense of worry in the way he wiped his face with one hand.
“I’m fine.”
Well, it wasn’t surprising that someone wouldn’t be surprised after seeing two people fall off a cliff in front of them.
“…I thought something had gone wrong, and I…”
Rudvion’s eyes were bloodshot.
His wet gaze followed me, then turned towards Kashar.
His long eyelashes trembled, and he soon wore a resigned expression.
It was truly a fleeting moment.
“It’s truly fortunate.”
When I saw him again, Rudvion just smiled as if expressing relief.
At that moment, I felt like I had missed something.
I glanced at Rudvion with a suspicious look.
“Could it be that he doesn’t like Kashar?”
I recalled Rudvion’s words about liking someone with an owner.
Moreover, when he said that to me, he seemed to have a somewhat apologetic expression.
Although the three clues seemed to align, I didn’t entertain such thoughts.
“Why is he acting like that?”
Kashar and the knight were engaged in a serious conversation.
Judging by the atmosphere, it didn’t seem related to what happened yesterday.
In the meantime, Rudvion guided me with empty words.
“You need to return quickly.”
“What happened?”
I asked, and Rudvion lowered his voice.
“His Majesty has collapsed.”
“What? Suddenly?”
During the founding festival, the emperor was healthy.
There was no special illness, and there was no reason for him to be absent from the winter hunt.
The emperor often skipped winter events, so no one doubted his health.
After finishing the conversation with the knight, Kashar approached us.
“First, return to the duchy, and if necessary, we may have to go to the imperial palace.”
The decision depended on the emperor’s illness.
“Understood.”
As I nodded, he lifted me onto the horse.
“We’re returning to the castle.”
Mounted on the horse, Kashar commanded the knights.
That’s how the winter hunt came to an end.
We returned straight to the duchy.
As soon as I entered, warm air welcomed me.
‘Home is always the best.’
Leaving home is troublesome.
Lately, I seemed to be thinking this often.
The first thing I did when I entered was to immerse myself in hot water.
Emma, who followed, scolded me while putting fragrance in the bathtub.
“Suddenly, monsters appeared, and the duke and Lady Eileen went missing. How surprised I was.”
As Emma said, the Loopar Forest turned into a hunting ground, and the campsite was in chaos.
Fortunately, the monsters didn’t attack the campsite, so only some noble participants in the hunt suffered damage.
“Is Micael okay?”
“…Yes, thankfully.”
Emma’s hand trembled visibly.
The knights first evacuated the nobles at the campsite.
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.”
