That I must control the flame on my own.
It’s a problem that even it can’t help.
From the day I recognized the existence of this inexplicable being, my life was a series of unexpected events.
When I turned 17, thanks to Prince Tesler’s recommendation, I was able to work as a bath maid while staying at the royal palace.
I found mental stability and peace as I left the abused Von Trova earldom. It was all thanks to Prince Tesler.
Perhaps he extended his kindness to me because of what his sister, Princess Resilia, had done that day.
But.
Considering he sent me to the Laphion Empire as the acting empress, it seems that Prince Tesler needed my sacrifice once again.
“I will endure. I won’t get caught. I will get a cure to completely erase the burn scar.”
I reaffirmed to myself while looking in the mirror.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After finishing my bath and leaving the bathroom, the attendants who would help me get dressed were waiting.
I first changed into the dress that Sharon had selected.
Surprisingly, Sharon’s taste was much better than I expected.
Once all the preparations were done and I stepped out of my bedroom, the guards who were guarding the premises saluted me.
Halfway down the long corridor, a servant came running from the opposite side.
“Your Majesty, the Empress! An hour ago, there was a visitor who requested to see you. He is currently waiting in the reception room.”
“Who is it?”
I said that, but actually, I had a good idea of who had requested the audience.
There was only one person who would visit me in the unfamiliar Laphion royal family.
“What’s the name?”
Pretending to know nothing, I asked the servant again.
“It’s Duke Martins Lohain of Shatonil Kingdom, Your Majesty’s homeland.”
“Well, I guess I have to see him.”
Duke Martins was the person that Prince Tesler introduced to me when I left for the Laphion Empire.
Prince Tesler said that Duke Martins, in his capacity as Foreign Minister, would stay with me in the Laphion royal family and act as my protector, but I didn’t believe him.
Protection my foot.
It was clear that Duke Martins was a watchdog sent to follow me and report my every move to Prince Tesler, to see if I was properly fulfilling my duties as the acting empress, or if I was doing something else unnecessary.
Both the Duke and I had to faithfully play our roles and carefully watch each other.
It was a tricky relationship that was not exactly an enemy, but also not on my side due to a lack of trust.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Guided by Sharon, I entered the reception room located one floor below my bedroom.
Duke Martins, leaning against the archshaped window, turned to look at me as I entered.
I consciously straightened my waist and approached the Duke.
He bent one knee and kissed the back of my hand.
“I am in the presence of the Empress of the Laphion Empire.”
“From today on, a new chapter begins for Shatonil Kingdom and my destiny.”
I said, looking down at Duke Martins with a flat expression.
At my words, the Duke smirked slightly before straightening up and looking at me.
I felt as if his sharp features were piercing through me.
“Please include the fate of serving Your Majesty in that as well.”
He is laughing.
“I have too many fates that I must bear, it’s overwhelming. I believe the Archduke will get through this alone, you will manage well.”
“……Yes.”
“Please, have a seat.”
I pretended not to notice the flustered Archduke Martins.
I sat on the highest seat on the sofa, where only the Empress could sit, and offered the seat across me to the Archduke.
I was a little surprised at myself for acting so naturally, as if I had been the owner of this imperial palace all along.
“Your Majesty the Empress, would you like to have some milk tea before your meal?”
At Sharon’s suggestion, I nodded my head.
“That’s right. That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”
“I will prepare it immediately.”
Sharon tactfully cleared the space and left the living room.
I immediately asked Archduke Martins.
“Do you have something urgent to tell me?”
He must have had a reason for seeking me out.
Perhaps about the whereabouts of Princess Resilia…
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.”
