Everyone seemed to assume that, given the fact that they didn’t introduce themselves, there was no need to know who Ruela was or what her face looked like.
Ruela sighed and looked around.
Today’s tea party was held in the garden of Viscount Line. There were about 30 people in total, and during the informal gathering, where they finished a simple reception and conversed among those who shared mutual interests, everyone approached Ruela, who was with Tien.
Why wouldn’t they?
Ruela had been brandishing her ring throughout the party as if it were her pride.
When six women gathered at once, Tien had to reluctantly step back.
Looking at Tien in such a situation, Ruela sighed.
The invitation from Viscount Line stated an invitation for three people, excluding Ferimont, which apparently meant inviting a total of three people.
Since it was a reception, it seemed that they had precisely determined the number of people to invite.
Due to the predetermined number of people, Kite, Ruela, and one more person were supposed to go together. However, due to the reluctance of the gentlemen who didn’t want to attend the party, Tien was forced to come along crying and whining.
Ruela said she would go with Kite alone if no one wanted to attend the tea party. Still, everyone sternly opposed that.
The reason was that, in preparation for Kite leaving his seat, Ruela needed one more guardian and supervisor by her side.
Since she had gone alone to the Vander mansion for a quest after the incident, her credibility had hit rock bottom.
Despite promising not to cause trouble, no one pretended to hear it.
Tien, who met eyes with Ruela, subtly pointed to her back.
Curious, Ruela looked, and on the opposite side of the garden, Kite was talking to some woman.
Seeing the Line couple standing behind and watching with a content expression, it seemed they had something important to discuss, perhaps to introduce their daughter.
Ruela’s expression turned cold.
Even though she appeared with Kite, wildly swinging her ring throughout the party, no one noticed who gave her the gift. Or perhaps they thought it couldn’t be.
So, Ruela decided to take advantage of the gathered young ladies.
Until a little while ago, they didn’t even know who the ladies in front of them were. Now, it didn’t matter.
She arrogantly lifted her head and answered their questions.
“No. I bought it from a jewelry store in the commercial district, not Elab.”
“Did Lord Valder give you the ring as a gift, by any chance?”
To the unexpected question, Ruela’s expression twisted fiercely.
Valder, Valder.
It felt so tiresome.
Taking advantage of this opportunity today, she had to firmly nail down the nail so that such a thing would not happen again.
After smoothing her expression, Ruela looked coldly at the lady who had just asked the question, resembling a frightened mouse.
“Why is someone else’s talk coming up here without my involvement?”
At her words, everyone burst into laughter.
“Miss Rominin, isn’t it a well-known fact that you can’t even afford a ribbon, let alone jewelry? Moreover, in our kingdom, those who have the means to buy such a large diamond are few and far between.”
“Few and far between? It’s just a diamond ring.”
When Ruela genuinely expressed her surprise and threw such a question, everyone looked away, making displeased expressions.
“Why are you asking as if you know nothing? Hasn’t the state of the kingdom been like this for the past few days?”
Right, it was. Having experienced so many things, she had completely forgotten.
Anyway, that wasn’t the problem now.
She had to resolve the issue of being entangled with herself and Valder first.
“Anyway, it’s very unpleasant. Valder Guildmaster and I have separated. In a situation where he even declared hostility towards me, you all haven’t forgotten that, have you?”
Ruela deliberately showed a disgusted expression, looking at the gathered young ladies one by one. With an exaggeratedly angry expression, she addressed them.
“Moreover, he is the one who will soon be engaged to Miss Mari Rosite. Yet, constantly associating him with me, do you not realize that it is an incredibly rude thing to do?”
As soon as she finished speaking, an arrogant lady who had been watching the situation from the middle opened her mouth.
“Miss Mari Rosite must have wanted a definite answer, too. She probably didn’t want unnecessary misunderstandings about her fiancé.”
Ruela looked at the freckled lady, who covered herself with white powder to hide her freckles, perhaps, with contempt.
“Are you close to Miss Mari Rosite? Your name is…”
“Surely you don’t remember me?”
Ruela tilted her head innocently in response.
“I guess I didn’t leave a deep impression. I don’t know who you are.”
The freckled lady stumbled even more, seemingly angered.
“W-What? How can you say that after finding out who our father is?”
Ruela widened her eyes in surprise.
“Oh my, who are you?”
“It’s Lord Gart.”
“Ah, I see.”
With no particular reaction, Ruela nodded nonchalantly, and Gart’s lady’s cheeks turned red.
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.”
