Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
When the news reached Alicia early that morning that Killian had arrived in the Imperial Capital, she had planned, as she had for the past few days, to spend another quiet day.
She’d intended to stay locked in her room all day under the pretense of still not feeling well, just to avoid accidentally running into him if she stepped outside—but…
“Hid herself inside the changing room?”
“The Emperor himself ordered that the Dukes’ attire for this banquet be provided directly by the palace.”
“I’m already aware of that.”
It must have been just an excuse to summon the Dukes to the palace.
Clothes couldn’t be made overnight, and the banquet would require more than just one or two outfits.
So, they must have planned to use this as an ongoing excuse to come and go from the palace regularly, exchanging opinions discreetly without others noticing.
“They needed to change into lighter garments to take measurements…”
“And then?”
“It seems she didn’t start out that way—apparently, she snuck into the changing room while they were taking measurements.”
“No one noticed Isabelle’s movements?”
“The Crown Princess dismissed all the maids.”
Of course.
Though they were maids, they were all daughters of noble houses.

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.”
