Nelia sent Reunite back to the room first.
It was the first time that Duke Hart fell asleep like this, seemingly unconscious, so it seemed necessary to watch over him until he woke up.
Fortunately, the late-night rain gradually stopped. The Duke still slept, emitting a steady breathing sound. The room was as quiet as the aftermath of a storm.
Nelia, who had been tensed throughout the day, started to feel drowsy. Eventually, she leaned against the Duke’s bed and fell asleep.
That day, Nelia had a dream.
The dream landscape was unusually vivid, and Nelia half-expected the Duke to turn into a giant serpent, like a monster.
But that wasn’t the case.
Climbing a large hill, she found… “Wow…”
There was a massive dragon. Just by its presence, the dragon emitted tremendous dignity—it was undoubtedly Zigritt.
Smooth and sturdy gray scales covered Zigritt’s entire body.
‘Reunite complained that Zigritt was depicted ugly. I understand now.’
The gray dragon she faced directly was as beautiful and majestic as it could be.
Mesmerized by Zigritt, Nelia suddenly realized something cradled in his arms.
A frail old woman.
The old woman’s face bore wrinkles that marked the passage of time, yet the atmosphere surrounding her was beautiful and noble.
‘Right, maybe it’s just prejudice.’
Beauty isn’t exclusive to youth.
Zigritt, seemingly gazing at that person alone, was fixated on her.
However, the old woman seemed powerless. She just looked up at Zigritt with her eyes slightly closed.
Perhaps because of that, sadness reflected in Zigritt’s eyes.
Zigritt looked down at the old woman and slowly opened his mouth.
“Elena…”
Nelia couldn’t help but be astonished, and to prevent any sound from escaping, she covered her mouth.
‘The old woman is Elena…’
Zigritt’s destined love and the woman he loved throughout his life.
Come to think of it, that makes sense. Unlike the god Zigritt, Elena was human, so she must have aged.
Zigritt seemed to have protected Elena’s side throughout her life.
As the astonished Nelia hugged Reunite, she failed to notice him closing his eyes while looking at her with a briefly affectionate expression.
The book she saw at that time seemed to be a very rare version containing the story of Silin and Karl.
Right now, that wasn’t important. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that for some reason, Zigritt and Elena hadn’t met their two sons for a long time.
It was understandable that Silin had fought with Zigritt and distanced himself, but Karl was a bit unexpected. As he resembled Elena and appeared to be an ordinary human, there seemed to be no other issues.
Zigritt took a deep breath.
“Sorry, Elena. It’s all my fault.”
With closed eyes, Elena shed tears. Her deep sorrow and anguish were palpable, making Nelia feel downcast as well.
Gradually opening her eyes, Elena moved her dry lips.
“Zigritt… It’s not entirely your fault.”
“No, if I hadn’t punished Silin that day… if I had tried to understand Karl a little more…”
Elena extended her hand slowly, comforting Zigritt, who blamed himself.
Elena’s hand moved like reeds swaying in the wind and finally touched Zigritt’s cheek. She gently caressed Zigritt’s cheek.
“Zigritt, don’t blame yourself for the past.”
“Elena…”
“But there’s something I want to ask you.”
Elena blinked her eyelids slowly.
“You mentioned once that emotions have great power.”
Zigritt nodded.
“Emotions have great power. You can see it just by observing how love can change everything.”
“Then sadness is the same, right?”
Zigritt’s eyes turned bitter. On the contrary, Elena seemed to display a faint smile like dissipating smoke.
“Zigritt, please make jewels from my tears. So that someday, Silin and Karl can find traces of us through my tears.”
“Elena… You’re asking me for such a cruel request.”
“Please.”
Instead of answering, Zigritt brought his forehead to Elena’s forehead.
It was a noble and beautiful scene like a scene from a myth. However, tears were flowing from Nelia’s eyes.
Though she didn’t know them, and she didn’t know the exact story behind them, just being here at this moment made her heart ache.
Then the vision shook.
[Nelia? Nelia…!]It was Duke Hart’s voice.
The world in front of her was collapsing. Soon, in the dim sight, Duke Hart appeared.
Adapting to the sight, she realized that she was in Duke Hart’s bedroom.
It seems she woke up from the dream.
Duke Hart had a worried expression. He reached out to wipe the tears under Nelia’s eyes.
“Why are you crying in your sleep?”
Nelia now realized that her eyes were moist.
‘…Was I really crying?’
Moreover, despite waking up from the dream, the scene with Zigritt and Elena a moment ago was vivid and fresh.
Nelia thought it was a strange dream, but soon erased it from her mind. Duke Hart had already woken up.
“Duke, when did you wake up?”
“I woke up a while ago. Why were you crying in your sleep? Did you have a scary dream?”
In the darkness, his worried silver eyes twinkled faintly.
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.”
