As people began to pour into Hiloshine, the streets started to come alive. New restaurants and bars opened one after another. The number of foreigners increased. Most were attracted by the scent of money as Hiloshine began to prosper. Inn businesses thrived, and information guilds were established. Money started flowing into Hiloshine, and among them were people with unclear identities.
“When I came before, it was a wasteland, but there are really a lot of people now. Moreover, the trees are growing somehow.”
“Well, what does that matter? As long as we do our job.”
While two people were exchanging words, another person intervened. He took off the hat he was wearing and drank water noisily. Water droplets formed on his thick beard.
“I looked outside, and there were indeed many sword-wielding individuals gathered. It seems that Hiloshine is recruiting new knights this time.”
“Hiring knights? Is that profitable?”
“Of course. It seems the duke is scheming something. It’s the atmosphere of everyone hushing and spreading rumors.”
“Even knights who had sworn to Rothera in the past are coming. It seems like Rothera’s bloodline is seeking them out.”
“Huh. Maybe the heavens are helping us. Isn’t it easy to get in by pretending to be Rothera’s knights?”
“It could be possible. Or not. If we can imitate Rothera’s swordsmanship, we can enter, or we’ll be suspected.”
“Anyway, the way into the castle is open.”
The three men nodded simultaneously.
Their goal was inside that sturdy fortress. Newly expanded, there was no place left untouched.
“Oh. Isn’t it an unnecessary request we received?”
“Think about the money. That old man seemed to have a lot of it. If we get the remaining payment, we can eat and play for five years straight.”
“Fine.”
They rose from their seats.
Sitting idly won’t achieve anything. The gate they had to overcome was too high.
Renisha found Luna quite interesting.
It was evident that Luna harbored feelings for Cassius, but her actions…
‘It’s like she’s tormenting a child she likes from her younger days.’
Listening to Luna’s history, she lived as a slave gladiator and returned to the elves with the escaped slaves. Luna, who entered as a servant, had to wear a dress.
Thuriel skillfully disguised Luna’s status and brought her in.
“Luna. Don’t you like the dress?”
Renisha asked with a playful tone.
“Oh, n-no… No.”
Luna answered with a sigh-mixed voice.
“If you don’t like it, you can say so comfortably. I permitted it.”
Luna glanced at Renisha.
Strangely, Renisha had an irresistible power over Luna.
Luna observed Renisha’s expression. Strangely, there was an irresistible force from Renisha. It was intimidating to see that she, a woman unable to wield a sword, had such a clear power. Luna couldn’t figure out exactly where that feeling came from, not even understanding it herself. Renisha wasn’t particularly tall.
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
Though Haelin, unfamiliar with palace etiquette, didn’t sit well with Luna, she just sighed and let it go. Even though Luna spoke informally to Renisha, Luna wasn’t sure if that was wrong.
Renisha appreciated Luna’s honesty.
“I actually hate this dress. I hate the color and the lace.”
“Oh.”
Renisha burst into laughter. It seemed like she found amusing entertainment in her boring palace life.
“Then we should choose a dress that you like.”
“Should I call Thuriel?”
“Sure, Haelin.”
“I hate that woman! She’s like a poisonous snake! More than you…!”
“I told you to watch your words, Luna?”
Renisha tilted her head. Some boundaries needed to be maintained for them to get along.
Luna closed her mouth after some hesitation.
“…You’re scarier than Renisha, I must say.”
It seemed like there were many strong people in the world who couldn’t wield a sword.
Luna’s shoulders slumped.
Renisha chuckled and said to Haelin, “Tell Thuriel to come. If there are things to bring, bring them.”
“Yes, Renisha.”
Haelin nodded.
Once destined to become a noble lady, she now served Renisha’s whims, like an ordinary maid. But that was okay. If she could survive, she would do anything.
With a composed expression, Haelin left Renisha’s room.
“What did you just say?”
“I told His Highness that he cannot take her with him, Your Majesty.”
Duke Cloud narrowed his eyes. Despite his polite demeanor, anyone could sense the underlying hostility.
Lexus let out a bitter laugh.
Leaning in towards Duke Cloud, Lexus tilted his head back. The duke, who was slightly shorter than Lexus, unconsciously took a step back. Behind him was Canary’s palace.
“Did my empress attach herself to the duke?”
“Please refrain from being too impolite to Her Majesty, Your Highness.”
“Do I still look like a child you need to teach, in your eyes?”
Lexus brushed his hair back. Nobles who disapproved of Duke Cloud were backing Lexus.
Thus, it was right not to act recklessly against Duke Cloud.
Lexus sneered.
After a long time, Canary put herself together properly.
To think she had a pet bird that would bite its owner when told to sing.
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.”
