The Stand-In Empress's Wedding Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
I heard about Grand Duke Martines repeatedly failing the knights’ examination not from Prince Tessler himself, but from Kanal Adalion—the swordmaster who had trained both of them.
Kanal Adalion was the captain of the royal knights and one of the greatest sword masters in the history of the Shattonil Kingdom.
And he was also my secret swordsmanship instructor.
Ever since I became aware of the divine presence within me, I secretly began practicing swordsmanship to relieve the searing heat coursing through my body.
Noble young ladies of the Shattonil Kingdom learn basic swordsmanship from childhood.
Most noble young ladies dabble halfheartedly and soon abandon their training, but the moment I grasped a sword, I felt a shiver run through my entire body.
Master Kanal had long been acquainted with my family, the House of Count Trova, and thus taught swordsmanship to my stepbrothers.
I used to wander around the count’s training hall, secretly watching and mimicking Master Kanal’s lessons.
One day, he caught sight of me practicing alone in the hall and accepted me as his disciple.
However, the fact that I received personal instruction from him remained a secret—his own suggestion, made out of concern for my stepbrothers’ hostility.
Thus, several years passed, and I turned sixteen.

At that time, I often spent entire nights practicing in the forest connected to the count’s estate because my lateral attack technique refused to improve.

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!!!
