“Even if His Highness hadn’t compelled me to accompany him on this journey from the beginning, or even if he hadn’t held onto me and refused to let go, I wouldn’t have come to this place. In that sense, I’ll say it’s not fate for me.”
Etienne cut in sharply.
“Fate? I hate it completely.”
Being entangled like this at the moment wasn’t particularly pleasant for her.
“Etienne?”
The presence of Fernando, sending a one-sided glance beside me without knowing anything.
Anyway, Etienne ignored everything and grasped the current situation.
“How long are we going to stay here?”
Leharht, pretending to think, turned his head at the question, as if he were going to stay until Assistant Alex rescued them.
“You’re not trying to avoid it now, are you?”
“I’m considering it.”
Leharht, after lightly tapping his management toy, mumbled something like ‘As expected, is that the only way?’
“Wait.”
“That’s it!”
“Just for a day.”
Leharht shamelessly set a deadline with a face that seemed completely indifferent, and Etienne gave up further investigation.
“We need to send someone into this space right away.”
Despite Nick’s urgent voice, Alex just stared at the hole. Instead, it was Javon who responded.
“We might be able to send someone in, but it doesn’t seem like it’ll happen right away, does it? As you know, we came here alone. Who’s going to go in? You?”
“Well, that…”
When Nick’s words faltered, Javon shrugged.
“We can’t just go in willingly without knowing what’s inside.”
“But what if something happens to His Highness, the Crown Prince?”
Though he said that, Nick had no intention of going in to rescue the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was a noble believed by his parents, and Nick had to get along with him for the honor of the family, but it was neither more nor less than that.
“It doesn’t have to be me. Besides, we have an assistant who is good at everything here, don’t we?”
Nick subtly handed the responsibility to Alex.
“Honestly, coming all the way here without a single guard wasn’t what we wanted. In a case like this, shouldn’t the assistant be the one to act more… don’t you think so?”
Nick finished his sentence, looking at Alex’s reaction.
Then Javon looked back and forth between Nick and Alex with an interested expression. Alex turned his head and looked at both of them.
“Why is that? Are you suggesting we go in together?”
With a puzzled look, Javon asked Alex and then glanced into the hole, chuckling. Then he continued, “There’s nothing we can’t do. Shall we go in now?”
Seeing his casual response, Alex sighed with some dissatisfaction.
“Ever since the journey, you’ve been curiously poking your nose into everything. Turns out, it was just curiosity.”
“What? What did you just say?”
“I lost the bet.”
Javon still had a perplexed expression, but Alex had no further explanation. In their bet with the Crown Prince, Alex had expressed suspicion about Javon.
“He’s the one giving information to the Second Prince, Javon. Since he showed interest everywhere, I thought it was him. Turns out, he was just curious.”
Now that I know Javon isn’t a spy, someone else is the culprit. Alex quietly observed Haysi, who was looking at the situation.
When everyone’s attention turned elsewhere, someone pushed the Crown Prince. The person who pushed him skillfully blended into the crowd, thinking they hadn’t been caught. However…
“The price will be paid severely later.”
Alex’s sharp gaze swept over Haysi’s face.
“Those who will go inside will be selected separately and sent. But not now.”
Alex stepped back from the hole.
“Let’s go back to the mansion.”
“Go back… now?”
Nick asked with a puzzled expression, but Alex turned away without an answer. Javon followed him unavoidably with his casual steps, and Haysi and Solar did the same.
Nick hurriedly tried to follow them, but Hana, who still didn’t move, was visible.
“Aren’t you coming?”
“Inside…”
Hana’s eyes fixed on the hole. It was difficult to leave things as they were, considering the two men I had been keeping an eye on during this journey were now missing.
“I want to go in.”
If only the men were missing, I might have waited anxiously. But now, Etienne was inside.
“Why does it have to be Etienne?”
“What are you saying? You’re not actually thinking of going in, are you?”
Nick looked around nervously, but the group had disappeared into the distance, leaving only him and Hana.
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s go. Hey, Hana.”
Nick grabbed her arm as she approached the hole with an anxious look.
“You can’t go in. Remember? We don’t even know how deep it is in there.”
“Let go.”
Hana tried to free her captured arm, but Nick didn’t release it.
“No, you can’t. Absolutely not. Who knows what might happen.”
“Everyone went in. The Crown Prince and Fernando are in there too!”
“I know, but let’s wait a little. Instead, when the Crown Prince and Fernando come out, you can nurse them by their side.”
“Nurse?”
“Yeah.”
Nick blurted out anything, but fortunately, Hana showed interest. Nick quickly nodded.
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.”
