Enjer and I, fueled by competitiveness, suddenly found ourselves making a bet.
“The loser in the bet must grant a favor to the winner.”
“We need a fair judge to determine the bet.”
[SYSTEM] Quest Arrived!Coincidentally, a new quest arrived at the right time.
[Spontaneous Quest: Beauty Contest – Enjer vs. Ancelot]You, who wagered on who is more handsome between Enjer Luvenhart and Ancelot Luvenhart! Go to the royal greenhouse garden where the young ladies are enjoying tea time, request their judgment, and win the bet.
▶Success Reward: Ancelot’s Secret
▶Failure Penalty: Date with Enjer
Within the flow of the system, spontaneously occurring quests had penalties for failure, but I could choose whether to accept the quest or not.
[SYSTEM] Will you accept the quest? (Accept/Decline)If I lost the bet, I had to go on a date with Enjer, which was dreadful, but…
“Of course, I’ll win anyway.”
I was confident. My own looks were outstanding, especially compared to Ancelot.
“And the reward for success…”
I focused my attention on the particularly enticing success reward.
Ancelot’s secret. It was a highly tempting reward.
“Well, it’s not like I have any particular feelings for Ancelot. It’s just… when someone close is hiding something, it makes you curious, right? Oh, not that Ancelot and I are extremely close, but anyway…”
Even though no one was reading my mind, I made an effort to rationalize my thoughts.
“Accept.”
As I muttered to myself, the spontaneous quest was accepted.
[SYSTEM] The quest has been accepted.“Coincidentally, today, guests are enjoying tea time in the royal greenhouse garden. You can request their judgment there.”
Enjer guided me to the location where the young ladies’ tea time was taking place.
Since I had been contemplating how to find them, it felt like things were falling into place.
“Oh my, Prince Enjer?”
Upon entering the greenhouse garden, the young ladies recognized Enjer, and their faces lit up.
One of the young ladies approached with obvious joy.
“How did you…?”
However, as soon as she noticed me standing next to him, her expression stiffened.
“Oh, her.”
She was the girl with whom I had a previous encounter. The one who led the harassment against Maria during the last ball.
“Her name sounds somewhat familiar.”
Helena, Lady of the Azelline Ducal House.
Affection Level: -389
As I nonchalantly tilted my head, I soon recalled where I had seen her name.
Engaged to Arno, the First Prince… Helena Azelline, the lady from Enjer’s detailed information window.
“Hello, Lady.”
Enjer greeted his fiancée with a gentle smile.
“It seems the lady also attended today’s tea time with Arvela.”
(Note: The English translation provided is based on the given context, and some details might be subject to interpretation.)
“I visited the Crown Prince’s residence in the morning, but he wasn’t there, so I left my regards with the steward.”
“Oh, really? I didn’t know. I’ve been busy today.”
He greeted me with a seemingly affectionate yet subtly distant attitude and promptly introduced me.
“Greetings. I am Princess Luvel from Azester. While touring the palace at my leisure, I happened to hear the laughter of the young ladies here.”
“Oh…”
Certainly, didn’t I mention a moment ago that I was busy today?
Realizing this wasn’t just my awareness, Helena’s mouth awkwardly curled up.
[SYSTEM] Affection level of decreased by -35. (Affection level: -424)‘No, Enjer made the mistake, so why are you resenting me?’
I silently complained of the injustice.
“Well, come on in.”
Helena guided us inside.
Inside the greenhouse garden, invited young ladies gathered around a long table.
Among them were the young ladies who had recently harassed Maria with Helena.
At the head of the table was a woman who seemed to be the host of the tea time.
Enjer approached her with confident strides.
“Nice to see you after a long time, Sister Arvela.”
She was a young woman who appeared to be my age.
Queen of Luvenhart Kingdom, First Prince’s Consort
Affection Level: -493
She seemed to dislike me more than Helena Azelline, Enjer’s fiancée.
‘What’s with this woman…?’
I was taken aback and unfolded the detailed information window.
[The wife of Prince Arno, the first prince. She gave birth to a young son with the late Prince Arno and, even after his death, resides in the royal palace, overseeing the household affairs. (Assistance Level: 37)]
‘If it’s Prince Arno, he’s the prince known to have died because of Anselot, right?’
So, this woman became a widow because of Anselot, and…
‘Then, is she resentful of me because of the grudge against Anselot?’
I felt a bit uneasy.
“Princess, this lady is Arvela, managing the royal household. As I mentioned before, she is the wife of the late Prince Arno and also my sister-in-law.”
“Hello, Princess Luvel. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Upon Enjer’s introduction, the woman stood up and greeted me.
With her calm demeanor and gentle tone, it was hard to believe that she disliked me so much.
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.”
