The Tyrant's Terminally-Ill Childhood Friend (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
When Karim opened the case, its contents were revealed.
“This is… just a ribbon.”
Disappointment briefly flickered across Karim’s face upon seeing the contents. He’d expected something extraordinary, given all the fuss—but merely a ribbon? Seeing Karim’s unimpressed reaction, Monique smiled knowingly and took the ribbon out of the case.
The important part lay on the ribbon’s inner side.
“Yes. It’s a ribbon—embroidered with the Hessen family crest.”
“…!”
Surprise instantly flashed across Karim’s face. But it was still too early to be astonished. Monique flipped the ribbon over to reveal the embroidery stitched on its inner side. There, the initials “L.H.” were delicately embroidered.
“A ribbon bearing the Hessen family crest and these initials—what do you suppose this signifies?”
“…That it’s a personal belonging of Lowell Hessen?”
“No, no, Marquis Grotaire. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have needed to summon you at all, would I?”
Monique folded the ribbon back up, placed it into the case, and gave a smug little shrug.
“This is ‘proof that Lowell Hessen is still alive.’”
Only then did Karim grasp what Monique was implying. Surely Monique wouldn’t claim something as significant as Lowell’s survival based solely on a single ribbon? Karim knew Monique had recently become obsessed with “Lowell Hessen.” Just a short while ago, she’d urgently summoned him to discuss precisely this matter.
[There are rumors circulating that Lowell Hessen is still alive. I spoke with Lady Anette, and I got the distinct impression she knows something. If I handle her carefully, I might extract even better information…]
At the time, Karim couldn’t understand Monique, who was nervously biting her nails over how to coax Anette. Nor could he fathom why she’d summoned him back and forth just for such trivial gossip.

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.”
