“Yes. He came so late that even I was surprised.”
“Why did Duke Haribo come?”
At that unexpected move, when she was harboring curiosity,
“He came and gave these medicines.”
The lady put a box that was on the table in front of Lamein.
“……Medicine?”
“Yes. Medicine to prevent the wound from festering and painkillers.”
Lamein opened the box in front of her.
And then she stared intently at the small glass bottles containing the medicines.
“Duke Haribo often visits other kingdoms for business. He said these medicines are from there.”
“……Yes.”
“How grateful he was to give me this precious thing. He’s a warmhearted boy, just like Larackne.”
Lamein slowly lifted her eyes.
“Ah. Larackne was Duke Haribo’s mother.”
Staring blankly, Lamein slowly opened her mouth.
“Do you know what disease Duke Haribo’s mother passed away from?”
A bitter smile appeared on the lips of Lady Roger, who had been silently gazing.
“I don’t know exactly. One day, she suddenly stopped coming to social gatherings. After that, rumors started that she was sick, and shortly after, I heard that she had left the world.”
A short sigh followed the lady’s words.
“There were rumors that she might have had the same disease as Lucia.”
“…….“
“No one knows for sure.”
The rumor was definite.
‘My mother did not pass away from that disease. But the rumor is spreading that way.’
She recalled the words she had heard directly from Duke Haribo.
“She was such a beautiful and lovely person. We got along quite well. Cedric probably doesn’t remember, but he and Bens played together often when they were young.”
“Cedric and Duke Haribo?”
Lamein slowly widened her eyes.
“Yes. They used to come and play at our mansion often.”
“They didn’t seem to get along very well…….”
Hearing the fading voice, the lady nodded.
“It’s probably because they were so young. I can’t forget the first day I met Bens after Larackne left this world.”
“…….“
“That little boy’s eyes, devoid of life or emotion.”
A pitiable child, standing in a world without light.
The lady, who had spoken in a choked voice, sighed thinly.
“After that, that kind and bright child became so cold.”
“…….“
“The Bens that Cedric remembers is from then.”
Lamein slowly nodded her head.
“But contrary to worry, Duke Haribo has grown well. Probably because of Lucia.”
A brother who loved his sister more than anyone else.
“With someone to protect by his side. He must have tried harder to live than anyone.”
The lady, who gently closed her eyes, looked straight ahead.
“The reason he brought the medicine yesterday is because he was thankful that you helped Lucia at her birthday party.”
“Ah…….”
Lamein, slightly opening her lips, looked at the box in front of her.
“You don’t have to thank yourself. He wanted me to tell you that he was thankful.”
“It wasn’t that hard…….”
Lamein smiled awkwardly at the overwhelming sense of shame.
The lady, watching such Lamein, wore a warm smile on her lips.
“Anyway, the reason I called you. I think your heart might not be better than mine.”
“…….”
“As I said, I wish you wouldn’t blame yourself or feel sorry.”
Swallowing the lingering warm air, Lamein smiled faintly.
“Now go to Cedric. Don’t ever say that the Duke of Haribo gave this medicine, just put it in your mouth.”
“……Yes?”
“Cedric’s pride might be stronger than you think, so he might not eat it if you say the Duke of Haribo gave it.”
The wife spoke decisively, as if it was obvious without looking.
“Yes. I will.”
“Good. You must have been tired from nursing all night. Go back and rest.”
“Yes. You should also get some sleep, Mother. I heard that you didn’t sleep all night.”
“Don’t worry about me and take good care of Cedric.”
The warm voice of the wife, worrying about her son to the end, was heard.
Lamein, having left the duchess’s room, headed for Cedric’s room.
Slowly moving her steps, she dropped her gaze to the medicine box held in her arms.
Late at night.
Gratitude was felt for the actions of the man who came directly to hand over the medicine.
‘Cedric’s pride might be stronger than you think, so he might not eat it if you say the Duke of Haribo gave it.’
Then, the wife’s words came to mind, and a snicker escaped.
“Really, it’s a pride that’s good for nothing.”
Lamein shook her head vigorously.
A husband acting like a child with pride.
A man who brings medicine even if he dislikes it,
She conjured images of the two men in her mind, and snickered once again.
“Turns out these two protagonists aren’t just two people?”
They subtly go well together?
The suspicion that she might have been transmigrated into a BL novel, not a romance novel, arises.
Two boys who were close without exception when they were young, growling at each other without recognizing each other’s existence, recognizing each other through a girl…….
“If it were me, I would bake cookies.”
Take my cookies, Author.
Lamein, who had been giggling to herself while walking, composed her expression.
“I don’t know who will be by Cedric’s side, but let’s save the protagonist for now.”
With a devout heart for Cedric’s path of flowers, she embraced the medicine.
“First, I’ll see Cedric take his medicine, then go to my room and rest.”
The fatigue is creeping in after having slept at dawn.
Though briefly pondering whether to watch over him,
“I don’t think I need to be right beside him in the morning. There’s nothing to do by sitting beside him.”
It only seemed awkward for the two to sit facing each other.
Reaching Cedric’s room, Lamein slowly opened the door with a knock.
Through the slightly opened door, she saw the bed.
A husband sitting at a small table on the bed.
A bowl of porridge is on the table.
“…….”
“…….”
As if about to take a bite, Cedric stopped, spoon at his mouth, and stared.
“Eat quickly. I will watch you eat the porridge and take your medicine, then return to my room.”
Lamein said, closing the door.
“……You’re going back to the room?”
Cedric asked in a slow voice, still holding the spoon.
“Yes.”
Lamein answered lightly.
What are we doing looking at each other?
“There’s no point in me being here, you won’t be able to rest comfortably, and I don’t have anything to do……”
Were you going to ask? At that moment.
Thump.
Suddenly, the spoon that was firmly in her husband’s hand fell into the porridge bowl.
“Ugh!”
Cedric, his bandaged shoulder covered with one hand, hunched his big shoulders.
……What are you doing?
Instead of asking, she widened her eyes.
“I guess it won’t work.”
“…….”
“I don’t even have the strength to hold a spoon.”
Though his face was frowning, the man looked like he was smiling.
“I can’t do anything without you.”
The tearless, unbearable acting had begun.
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.”
