“It looks good. But it’s not that.”
Liz said with an awkward smile.
“I will take care of it.”
He wrapped a gown around Liz’s body, and, wearing his own, approached to hug her again.
At that moment, Liz suddenly took a step back and said,
“You don’t need to do that anymore. I can go by myself.”
She spoke quite firmly this time. She felt it wouldn’t work if she spoke gently.
Having been rejected several times, Kain didn’t insist this time either.
“Understood. Then I’ll support you instead.”
“No, I don’t need support either.”
His eyes cooled slightly at her refusal even of support. Liz was a little taken aback by his gaze, but she stood her ground and continued to speak.
“If I’m in a state where I need support, the ball the day after tomorrow is out of the question. I’ll go alone now. So, you should go to Lilia.”
“…….”
“She’s your master. You should take care of her.”
By now he must have understood. He must have known for sure that the master was now Lilia, not herself. Even if there’s no reason, he will follow the order.
As she was so sure,
Suddenly Kain slowly moved towards her.
Liz felt her heart drop at the overpowering feeling emanating from his body language and expression.
Is this the dignity of the royal family that she had only heard of in words? Or it could also look like the overwhelming feeling of a male beast. She wasn’t sure which it was.
Either way, there was no problem in making her backpedal.
Liz felt the cold touch of the marble tile on her back. There was no more room to retreat. Kain kept coming closer.
‘My, my, what did I say wrong that made him act like this?’
She reflected on herself for a moment, but nothing came to mind.
While she was thinking, Kain had narrowed the distance to almost touch her chest.
Without realizing it, Liz swallowed her saliva. She wanted to close her eyes, but she resisted, thinking it might be taken in another sense.
Fortunately, he stopped at a hair’s breadth away. Then, in that state, he looked at Liz with an inexplicable expression for a moment and said,
“Miss, you really…….”
Really? Really what?
“You have a talent for driving people crazy.”
“……?”
“I will decide my master.”
With those words, Kain turned and left the bathroom.
Liz stood there for a moment in a daze, repeating Kain’s words to herself.
‘I will decide my master? Did he get his pride hurt? Because I told him to do this and that?’
She thought he might have.
Because he’s the Crown Prince. She had heard that the royals of Luzencia were very proud.
I won’t be able to talk carelessly from now on.
Thank goodness I know the original work. If I didn’t know, I might have misunderstood. A ridiculous misunderstanding.
That Kain might think of her differently.
(This is a time separator.)
Upon returning to his quarters, Kain immediately took off his gown and threw open the window.
When the cool air touched his bare skin, he finally felt somewhat alive.
Today, in particular, he felt a heat building up in his body. He had felt it continuously while touching Liz’s body, but today it was unusually intense.
He knew that it was due to factors beyond mere physical stimulation.
To even refuse support.
He knew it wasn’t just a futile attempt to gain attention by pushing him away, but he didn’t expect such a strong rejection.
As he recalled Liz’s changed attitude one by one, his displeasure grew.
Her consistent attitude, as if being close to him would cause something terrible to happen to her.
Did she have a dream? A dream in which he kills her terribly?
At the absurd thought, Kain chuckled.
However, contrary to that hollow laughter, his blue eyes were rippling with anxiety and impatience.
Perhaps.
Yes, perhaps Liz would never look back at him again.
With failed courtship and her kinder rejection, he might not be able to regain her lost heart.
Then what should he do?
Would Liz be content to stay by his side tirelessly as she had in the past?
He shook his head.
In his experience, it didn’t seem like a good method. It could easily tire people and push them further away.
Then what would be good?
Again, his heart felt stuffy, as if something was clogging it up. This time even the cool breeze couldn’t alleviate the feeling.
Suddenly, Kain seemed to feel something strange, and he looked at the mirror hanging on the left wall.
One of his eyes… had changed color.
He needed to take his medication.
“Phew…….”
Thinking of the terrible pain and struggle he would face again, Kain sighed quietly and turned away from the mirror. But at that moment, a bright idea flashed in his mind.
Kain turned back and looked at himself in the mirror.
Now his face had completely changed, and his reflection in the mirror looked at him as if it were a stranger.
If he tilted his head, the man in the mirror tilted his head. If he smiled, the man in the mirror also smiled. But it was a much more charming, languid, and seductive smile.
He thought.
Perhaps that guy could hold on to Liz’s drifting heart.
(This is a time divider.)
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.”
