“With Miss Christina.”
Ah…
If that’s the case, there’s nothing that can be done…
No, is that wrong?
Reyna suddenly snapped back to reality.
If there’s a chance she might meet the Crown Prince, shouldn’t she insist on having Marina sent to her?
This is an emergency.
All this urgent business of the Crown Prince’s arrival hadn’t yet been reported to the Duchess.
What to do?
After a brief moment of consideration, Reyna followed Brodie’s lead and whispered back in kind,
“…I need Marina for makeup.”
Brodie paused in the middle of pulling a string on the dress.
Then, with a worried look in her eyes, she glanced at Reyna and asked hesitantly,
“Why…? Is my makeup not good enough…?”
…What?
Reyna was taken aback by the unexpected response and looked at her in surprise.
Brodie’s anxious face soon turned desperate.
“I don’t want to go to the lady… I was relieved to be your maid after seeing Marina suffer at the hands of the lady.”
“…….”
Reyna was speechless.
Brodie continued with a pitiful look on her face.
“If there’s anything you’re uncomfortable with, can’t you tell me? I’ll fix it. Is it the makeup? Is the makeup not good enough? How can I improve it to satisfy you?”
“…….”
Ah… To be honest.
Reyna had nothing to say, understanding Brodie’s feelings.
She didn’t want to deal with Miss Christina either….
[This is the time separator]“The Crown Prince was with Arthur?”
The butler, Jim, sweat profusely as he relayed the news with a flustered expression.
“Yes… He was seen leaving Arthur’s private reception room with him this morning.”
The Duke was dizzy with shock and staggered.
To think that a guest had been under his roof and he hadn’t noticed!
The good will he sent through Count Rembrandt hadn’t even reached the Crown Prince!
“Now?!”
“Seems they have parted ways. They left together but Sir Arthur returned alone. I’m not sure where the Crown Prince is. He might have returned to the military…”
The Duke looked at the butler in disbelief.
And then, for a moment, he was speechless before he exploded.
“No, if Arthur was with the Crown Prince, he should have given me a hint!”
“…….”
Even if he vented his frustration on the innocent butler, it wouldn’t solve anything.
In his frustration, the Duke shouted at the butler.
“I even agreed to host the improvement festival again just as he wanted! Even the veterans’ compensation, and the pension for their families, I arranged it all as he desired! Do you know how much money that cost?!”
Although after that, ‘veteran’ and ‘family’ became contentious issues, so he avoided conversation, but still!
This is unacceptable!
After all I’ve done, Arthur should reciprocate and show some initiative in return, right?!
After all that, I thought it was Arthur’s turn to start a conversation, so I waited!
“There’s bitterness, but when there’s such good news! He should have taken the initiative to connect me! And then I would have gladly considered it! That’s what family is about!”
How could he be so silent after all that!
In frustration, the Duke slammed his fist down on the table.
His pomadeslicked hair shook with the impact.
Should I have tried harder to improve my relationship with Arthur?
Even if it was a bit much, should I have spent the money and effort more definitively?
Then Arthur would have definitely bridged the gap with the Crown Prince!
Missing out on the opportunity to meet the Crown Prince, who had even rolled into my house, because I hadn’t resolved the issue with Arthur was a huge regret.
Because of a wrong start, I missed the chance to introduce the Crown Prince who rolled right into my house, what a shame!
“You!”
In the end, the arrow of anger pointed to Christina, who was receiving makeup in front of a vanity, puffing a cigarette in a holder.
“When will this go on! What are you doing without even showing your face to Arthur so far! You said you would appease Arthur’s feelings!”
Christina sneered coldly towards the Duke.
“Father. If father hadn’t only fingerpointed at Arthur’s subordinate that day, would I have had the shame to go find Arthur sooner?”
What?
The duke, who was speechless with shock, snapped.
“Don’t make my excuses!”
“Father, don’t make my excuses? Shamelessly.”
The duke glared with his eyes while clutching the ashtray.
“Is this for real!”
Eek!
Marina, who had been carefully brushing Christina’s face, flinched and shrank back.
Christina stared coldly at the duke without blinking an eye.
“Do this and that. Didn’t you teach me directly who owns a daughter who is an outsider? Now it says that I am not your daughter but the property of Duke Arthur.”
“You, this! Big mouth!”
She gracefully applied mascara and flicked ashes into the ashtray through the mirror.
“Are you going to throw that?”
“What?”
Christina looked up at the duke and laughed brightly.
“If I show the wound from the ashtray you threw to Arthur, it seems like his feelings will be a little relieved. If you’re going to throw it anyway, please aim for a visible position.”
“Hey!”
Clang!
The ashtray flew and broke the mirror.
The incoming Duchess screamed in surprise.
With a pale face, Marina clutched her head and sank down.
She really wanted to disappear from this place.
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.”
