The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 43
While Empress Robina was briefly away from her seat,
“How dare they give such an impolite gift at a gathering meant for our children!”
“Exactly. Aren’t you ashamed before Her Highness the Princess? I must inform the elders of our house at once.”
“I can’t just stay silent about this either!”
The ladies, presumably daughters-in-law of high-ranking noble families, loudly complained while frowning at the lavish banquet hall.
Indeed, they showed no concern even though the Empress’s maids were present in the hall.
“Sigh… I never expected Her Majesty the Empress to give us something like this. How am I supposed to carry this home?”
“Right. Even if the servants find out, it’s hard to claim it’s a gift from the Empress…”
“True. Since it’s an imperial gift, we can’t very well refuse to take it…”
Lady Mera, Lady Serdin, and Madam Bashab were more tolerant than the other noblewomen, yet the mood remained unpleasant.
Hearing so many complaints, Lucia began to feel uncomfortable in this setting.
Beyond the open doors, a flamboyant blue dress peeked out.
The noblewomen seated at Lucia’s table hadn’t noticed, but most of the high-ranking ladies with clear views of the entrance were deliberately raising their voices for this very reason.
It was understandable.
The Empress, imprisoned in the secondary palace due to gambling, utterly powerless.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
