The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 118
Inside the Easter Royal Palace, the king’s private office.
Today was Clayton’s final audience with the King of Easter before departing for the empire.
It was also Clayton’s last scheduled task after inspecting the southern port of Easter the previous day to ensure a successful trade agreement.
“So today is the last time I’ll see you. Right—you depart for the empire tomorrow?”
“Yes. I plan to leave as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow.”
At Clayton’s reply, Tricen stroked his beard with a tone of regret.
“Why not stay a bit longer and enjoy yourself? It’s not as if you’ve hidden a pot of honey back home.”
Clayton offered the king a dutiful smile, skillfully changing the subject to keep the monarch from prolonging his stay in Easter any further.
“I’ve already enjoyed myself thoroughly. More importantly, upon my return to the empire, I’ll immediately begin developing the port on the western side of my domain.”
Realizing his attempt to persuade Clayton had failed, Tricen clicked his tongue in disappointment. He had hoped to find some opening to tie his daughter to Clayton—but the man left no room for opportunity, forcing Tricen to give up.
He let out a soft sigh and nodded.
“You may handle that matter as you see fit.”
“Yes. Then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take my leave now.”
As soon as the king gave his permission, Clayton rose from his seat without hesitation.
Just as he finished bowing respectfully and quietly stepped out of the audience chamber, a gentle feminine voice echoed the moment he closed the door behind him.
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!!!
