Duke Ferdia seemed to have an illusion that a black aura was oozing around him.
Such an extraordinary aura.
It seemed that if Grand Tower Master Isis had been in front of him, he would have ended it in one go.
“Is he, really, babbling?”
A low, clipped voice broke off.
All I could do was nod timidly.
‘Damn, I said I wouldn’t talk, but…’
But other than the fact that I had invested in secret or heard a story about my mother, nothing was left but Duke Ferdia’s swearing.
In other words, it was an inevitable situation.
The action I chose to survive among them was [Dash].
“Yes. Grand Tower Master Isis said so!”
I strongly insisted that it had nothing to do with my opinion!
It’s just the opinion of Grand Tower Master Isis, not me.
‘I’m sorry, Master Isis. But you’re a Tower Master, so it’ll be okay.’
Duke Ferdia, who was quietly stroking his chin, mumbled bleakly.
“Yes, I haven’t seen that face in a long time…”
“Haha… You must have known each other for a long time.”
“It’s a bad relationship.”
I knew that he didn’t really like people, but seeing him openly express his dislike was refreshing.
‘It’s definitely related to my real mother.’
I’m not sure exactly.
Duke Ferdia’s sharp gaze reached me, who was distracted.
I looked around cautiously, flinching.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“Is there anything else that bastard has babbled about?”
He was sure there must be something else.
At that moment, I had to spin my head furiously. To think of a story unrelated to my mother as much as possible.
“Ah, he’s making a secret magical tool to defeat my father. Be careful.”
“Is that the end?”
“It seems so [Dash]. Oh, and he said he wants to take something.”
Although I just said that, the Duke nodded as if he understood.
“He’s talking about ‘that’.”
“What is that?”
“Ferdia’s family treasure.”
I was dumbfounded by the Tower Master’s audacity. Thinking of taking the family treasure of Ferdia, a prestigious family with a long history.
Even the emperor would never have thought of such a thing.
“You don’t need to worry about it. He’s just a fool.”
“Yes…”
“Stay away from him too. He is the second most dangerous person after the Second Prince.”
“I’ll try my best.”
I answered ambiguously on purpose.
Even if the Duke tells me to keep my distance, I can’t give up my connection with the Grand Tower Master.
After all, the world is about connections. Grand Tower Master was a person I absolutely needed for my independence.
Fortunately, Duke Ferdia didn’t ask any further.
‘Is it over?’
That’s when I felt relieved.
“Elodie.”
Why does he call my name with so much weight again? Unnecessarily scary.
“Yes.”
“If you’re okay with it, I’m thinking of arranging your room in the main mansion after tidying up the annex. What do you think?”
I was just stunned at the sudden suggestion.
“…… My room?”
“Yes. Come to the main mansion now.”
“……Um.”
“I’ve left you alone because I didn’t know when to bring you, but it’s already been this long.”
When I was very young, I used to sit in front of the largest window in the annex, gazing outside aimlessly.
Because that was the best view of the main mansion.
Living in the main mansion was always my ardent dream. It felt like I could feel like a real part of Ferdia.
But I never dared to say my wish out loud.
Because the words whispered by the servants behind me ate away at my selfesteem.
“Did you see? She’s sitting at the window and looking at the main mansion again today?”
“She must want to go to the main mansion. A child out of wedlock, not even a direct descendant, should be grateful to live in the annex.”
“That’s right. She needs to know her place.”
“She didn’t become the Duchess.”
“Who would marry her?”
I couldn’t possibly say that I wanted to go to the main mansion after hearing such words.
I had always defined myself as a vague stranger who could only remain as Ferdia but could never truly be Ferdia.
Yet, the question of whether I would come into the main mansion, although unrealistic, made me secretly happy.
Even just a little, I felt like I was recognized as Ferdia.
My situation was completely different now.
Neither Yansi nor Carlott showed a hostile attitude like before, and I had learned that the Duke did not hate me.
The Duchess also treated me as a partner.
But.
I couldn’t accept their favor.
Because I’m not a ‘real family.’
They treat me kindly only because they think I’m the Duke’s real daughter.
‘If the truth is revealed, they will naturally kick me out right away.’
So it’s better not to get closer.
To avoid hurting each other.
I looked at Duke Ferdia with a smiling face.
“I might have been waiting for you to say that, Father.”
“I didn’t know that. Tell the butler to prepare right away.”
The Duke, who naturally took my words as consent, was cut off midsentence.
“No.”
“…….”
“Thank you for the offer, but I’ll decline.”
I made my intentions clear. I won’t enter the main mansion.
Duke Ferdia’s face momentarily hardened.
“Why?”
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.”
