Elodie, realizing that she had an item that had saved him from an awkward situation, began to fumble with his coat.
“It seems like there’s something in my pocket.”
“Take it out.”
Putting her hand into the pocket as he suggested, she touched a box. Elodie pulled out the small box from her pocket.
“Here you go.”
“It’s yours. Open it.”
“What?”
Suddenly? Elodie, unable to hide her confusion, opened the box with an astonished expression.
Inside it was…
“Since you have an interest in magical devices and came all the way here, take it.”
It was a communication magical device.
“How did you get it when it’s not even on sale yet?”
“Huangjok privileges.”
It was a very precious gift. A precious gift, but…
“Ugh!”
Unfortunately, it didn’t apply to Elodie.
‘So many. Really a lot.’
In Elodie’s room at the mercenary headquarters, there were magical devices that Isis had given her, piled up.
Various versions of communication magical devices, and even long-distance communication magical devices—although short-range magical devices were useless for Elodie, who possessed all of them—she couldn’t reveal that.
Elodie smiled brightly at Adenmir, seemingly delighted.
“Thank you, Your Highness. But is this the gift you mentioned before?”
“It’s not.”
“Then why are you giving it to me?”
“Just… I felt like I should repay the Lady somehow. Don’t you send me the antidote potion every week?”
With that reason, it was enough to understand. Adenmir, in Elodie’s eyes, was an incredibly filial son.
“Wow, a communication magical device. How fascinating!”
Elodie unfolded an act of joy as if she were seeing a magical device for the first time.
Seeing her pleased expression, Adenmir’s lips curled up slightly.
“It was probably difficult for the Lady to obtain, even if she is a noble.”
“That’s right. If it weren’t for Your Highness, I wouldn’t have been able to get it!”
“Well, it’s not difficult for me.”
“I’ll use it well, Your Highness.”
Elodie, using her ingratiating skills developed while dealing with Isis, enthusiastically praised Adenmir.
Adenmir, feeling awkward, casually changed the subject.
“But today, I don’t see the appearance of the guards.”
“Guards? Oh, you mean Ian?”
Nonchalantly calling out the name, Elodie’s attitude momentarily sank Adenmir’s good mood.
‘…Seems excessively friendly.’
Getting close to mercenaries didn’t look good in the eyes of third parties.
But Adenmir, who was nothing more than an engagement partner, had no right to speak.
Concealing such feelings, he responded.
“Yeah, that mercenary.”
“Well, I heard he’s going on a mission…”
Elodie couldn’t hear the details either.
‘Where did he go?’
Meanwhile, Lyan raced the horse at full speed.
His goal was to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and return to Somnia.
“Captain! Why like this! Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I can’t trust them.”
“What do you mean!”
“Those three.”
Referring to the three guards attached to Elodie.
Of course, it wasn’t about questioning their individual skills, but the combination of three mediocre guys raised concerns.
Thinking that Elodie might encounter trouble while off guard, he couldn’t afford to delay for even a moment.
The only ones who managed to keep up with Lyan’s monstrous stamina were the members who had a hard time breathing.
“A bit, slowly, can’t we, go?!”
“I’m tired of talking!!”
“Mutiny! Mutinyyyy!”
Ignoring the shouts of the members, Lyan insisted on full speed.
As a result, he achieved the miracle of reaching the destination in half the expected time.
Watching Lyan dismount from his horse for maintenance, Mark muttered with a wink, making a heart with his fingers on his chest.
“Poisonous…?”
“What?”
“I love you, Captain.”
Frowning at Lyan, who frowned in response to Mark’s flirtatious gesture, Mark continued.
“Don’t be so cold, Captain. I’m just expressing my feelings.”
“If the barrier is breached, I’ll rush in immediately.”
Ignoring Mark’s frivolous talk, Lyan declared the operation decisively.
There was no time to waste on useless matters.
After assigning tasks to each member, Lyan examined the Marquis Magnua’s lordship.
‘A strong barrier.’
Is it a power or a sin?
Either way, as long as there was someone inside trying to harm Elodie, it was annoying no matter where it was.
Standing by the sparsely populated castle wall, Lyan observed the barrier. Shadows began to delve into the sturdy gaps in the barrier.
And [Dash].
Crack!
With a sharp sound, Lyan and the members entered the lordship.
They only broke a very small part of the barrier surrounding the wide lordship, but if the opponent had strong power, they would have noticed.
They explored the lordship, keeping their presence hidden.
“No one’s here?”
“Is this the lordship?”
Surprisingly, there was no one inside the castle, no one in the dining hall, the lord’s bedroom, or the office.
The expressions of the members who felt something strange became serious.
“It felt strange since we broke through the barrier, but is there anything here?”
“Let’s search a bit more.”
As the members were about to disperse again, Lyan felt the approaching energy of someone. It was an unpleasant energy, as if someone were openly asking to be noticed.
Thud.
When Lyan stopped, the members following him also stopped.
“Get out.”
“Yes?”
“Get out of the barrier and stay as far away as possible.”
“What’s going on, Captain [Dash].”
“It’s an order.”
Although they didn’t understand, the Captain’s orders were absolute.
The members immediately ran towards the broken barrier according to Lyan’s order.
On the other hand, Lyan stepped his foot in the opposite direction from where they were heading.
As he stepped into the direction where the unpleasant energy was calling him.
Where the energy was felt was in the underground direction. Going down through the secret passage, he encountered a horrifying sight.
‘Chimera.’
Monsters in the process of experimentation were contained in tanks.
It was clear that they were related to the abnormal monsters that appeared throughout the continent.
Lyan passed by the laboratory and went deeper.
Finally, he arrived at a narrow underground cellar.
As soon as he took a step, the unpleasant energy invaded the entire space.
Roar [Dash]!
Lyan’s black hair fluttered roughly. He frowned and stared sharply ahead. Something emitting the energy was right in front of him.
[This time it’s you again, mischievous child.]A seductive voice that tickled the ears flowed into his ears.
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.”
