When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
“Only part of the inheritance remains?”
Enrico rose from his seat and stood beside Emilia. Startled by his sudden movement, she forgot she’d been crying and opened her eyes wide.
“That, too, is something to investigate further. Once the truth comes to light, I’ll inform you as compensation.”
The ends of Emilia’s eyebrows dipped slightly. Normally, she would have furrowed her brows in displeasure, but today she wore an oddly desolate expression, prompting Enrico to briefly lick his lower lip.
Kneeling on one knee, Enrico gently dabbed her damp cheeks with a handkerchief. Flustered, she tried to pull her head back as if to avoid his hand, but his grip on her slender shoulders was quicker.
She felt his warmth seep through her clothes. His hand traveled up her shoulder, stopping between her jaw and cheek, then gently turned her face toward him.
“Your Grace?”
“…Have you calmed down now?”
A faint scent of wine drifted from him.
“Yes, thanks to you. So, could you please let go?”
Sensing her tear ducts had abruptly dried from shock at Enrico’s unexpected action, Emilia grasped his wrist and pushed his hand away. But when his body refused to budge even slightly, her brows knit together faintly.
“What a pity. You looked lovely.”
“Excuse me?”
He waved the handkerchief in front of her, as if urging her to take it. Hesitating, she glanced between him and the handkerchief, then cautiously accepted it, hoping this might finally make him step back, and dabbed beneath her eyes.
Contrary to her hopes, after watching her silently for a moment, he rose from his place and reached toward the table.

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.”
