“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
I was at a loss for words at Roger’s sharp reply.
Only a few hours with me!
Truly, it seemed like we were engaged because Roger, who always bent over backward and obeyed Mrs. Bacchus’s words.
“Should we book the cathedral now, ho ho.”
“I already have a place in mind.”
“Oh, where?”
Isabel and Mrs. Bacchus shared an insincere conversation. Meanwhile, I glared at Roger and tapped his knee under the table with my foot.
‘You, what are you doing?’
Roger shrugged his shoulders and continued eating as if nothing had happened. I was so annoyed that I kicked his knee hard.
“Ugh!”
“Roger, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, nothing.”
I should have just refused the offer to teach the violin and read a book! Roger looked at me and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. A bad premonition. I tried to shut Roger’s mouth before anything happened, but his gaze reached Isabel.
It’s too late.
“Excuse me, Mrs. Marsen.”
“Why?”
“I want to teach Lise the violin once a week.”
It was like pouring fuel on the fire. Right now, in the excited atmosphere of engagement, he proposed teaching me the violin, further fueling Mrs. Bacchus’s enthusiasm.
“Oh, that’s a great idea, Roger!”
“……Violin?”
In contrast, Isabel’s expression twisted.
“Lise is learning the violin?”
Isabel’s tone was sharp.
The change in Isabel’s attitude momentarily quelled my excitement. Isabel, who never kept a tutor by my side, clearly didn’t like Roger’s words! She would always frown and block me if I said I was learning something.
It’s an opportunity. If Isabel firmly refuses, the atmosphere will die down……. Then, the talk of marriage will naturally be buried.
‘Roger, nice!’
I found myself cheering for Roger.
“Yes, Lise wants to learn, and I want to teach her.”
“Lise wants to learn the violin?”
“Um, she seems interested.”
“Does Lise have talent for the violin?”
Contrary to her words, Isabel wished I had no talent.
“Yes? No.”
Unrelated to Isabel’s wishes, my pride was a bit hurt.
“I guess I’ll do well if I learn, but it’s not a talent.”
“…….”
“I’m not even skilled at holding the bow yet. I’m just average.”
Roger’s firm words made the atmosphere chilly. This is… an unexpected situation.
“Haha. What is this child saying? Isabel, don’t worry too much. Roger is teaching for the first time today, so that must be it.”
Mrs. Bacchus tactfully covered for her son. Only then did Roger realize the atmosphere and put down the fork he was holding.
“……Ah, sorry. It’s not that there’s no talent, but it’s not that there is, just kind of none…….”
That’s just saying there’s none.
“Roger, you have to speak clearly. And how can you say Lise has no talent when she learned for the first time today?”
“…….”
“We shouldn’t dismiss acquired talent. Right? Isabel.”
“Roger. I’d like you to teach Lise.”
When Mrs. Bacchus tried to smooth things over, Isabel responded. With a slight smile as if intrigued, Isabel left Mrs. Bacchus with her lips parted.
“Really? Can we? Madam?”
“Yes. It’s good to have such a hobby for future use.”
“Can we set a time right now?”
“Of course.”
“Lise! How about Monday? Or Wednesday?”
It’s very good. Is teaching me that joyful? We’re stuck getting engaged now. But looking at that bright expression, I can’t help but feel excited.
There was nothing to be done about it. Thinking about it, learning the violin from Roger was not so bad. Once a week, I could get out of the monotonous mansion and village, so perhaps it was a blessing.
“Thursday is good.”
“Yes, let’s set a time. I prefer the morning, you?”
Before I knew it, I was actively discussing dates and times with Roger. In the end, the agreed upon day was Thursday at 11 in the morning.
“Lise, so I can see you next week?”
“I look forward to it, ma’am.”
“I’ll make you something delicious each time.”
Mrs. Bacchus reached out in front of me with a dessert, speaking as she did so. It was an oddly shaped apple pie, whether she made it herself or not. It was crunchy and at the same time, the sweetness of the apple spread throughout my mouth, lifting my spirits.
It was the best.
“Silly. She might spoil the child, so don’t do anything and just open the door.”
“Can I? She’s the one who’ll marry my son later on.”
“Silly.”
I looked forward to Thursday, a week later. The issue of marriage was a matter for the future.
“By the way, I heard from him last time. He said he saw you? So he wanted to see me? Isabelle.”
“…No, it was just a coincidence.”
Isabelle and Silly talked back and forth again. Rather than joining in on their conversation, Roger and I teased each other under the dining table by poking each other’s feet.
If I tapped his foot once, Roger would not let it go and struck my knee hard. Being unable to stand losing, I stretched my leg as far as possible and pressed hard against his thigh.
Despite the warlike scene under the table, Roger and I continued our meal comfortably above the table.
[This is a time delimiter.]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.”
