“Didn’t I tell you last time that it’s impossible? As I said, there are restrictions on appearances. In the form of a small dragon or a human, the usable power is limited.”
Nellia pursed her lips.
“Instead, I’ll give you a hint.”
“What hint…?”
“A hint about what will happen to you in the future.”
What will happen to me in the future…?
It was a very vague hint, but Nellia found herself concentrating on Reunite’s voice because he looked unusually serious.
“Emotions have more power than you might think. They can change the world, from small acts of saving someone to significant deeds.”
“…Is that a hint for my future?”
Reunite clicked his tongue as if frustrated and licked his lips once.
“Do you think you’ve experienced many strange things even when considering it yourself?”
Nellia responded without hesitation.
“Yes.”
Being entangled with the original villain, him coming to like her, her coming to like him – thinking about it even now, it was strange and amazing.
Moreover, there was still something unexplained even now.
“What do you think was the strangest thing?”
“…That Duke didn’t transform into a snake while being with me?”
As she became the inhibitor for the Duke’s human transformation, their fates became intertwined.
Although the Duke and she had spent quite a long time together, she still hadn’t figured out the reason or the cause.
“That’s exactly it.”
“Is it because of emotions that the Duke didn’t transform into a snake…?”
“Yeah. Love can change everything, sometimes even making the impossible possible.”
Nellia found it quite unexpected to see Reunite discussing love so seriously.
‘It seems like dragons, as a species, are romanticists.’
Zigrid was like that, and seeing Reunite speak so seriously about love, it seemed to have a sentimental touch.
“When the Duke was with you, he could maintain a human form because he fell in love. For him, love was a force. It gave power to his desire to stay human.”
Reunite was serious, but Nellia didn’t quite resonate with his story.
Did the Duke really not transform into a snake just because of emotions?
“It seems like you don’t believe me. Let me give you an example.”
Nellia slowly nodded.
“What is it?”
“Where did you find the sacred dew?”
Sacred dew…? Hearing the word after a long time, Nellia thought of Charlotte.
“It was inside the pendant necklace of a person named Charlotte.”
“Wasn’t that pendant originally locked?”
“…Yes.”
Reunite, who was once trapped in Elena’s tears, spoke calmly, as if examining the situation.
“Zigrid shattered a part of Elena’s tears and put it in the pendant, which he then took to a monastery deep in the mountains. That’s the sacred dew.”
Nellia nodded. It was a story she knew.
“Yes, Charlotte, who had the pendant necklace, also came from a monastery, and the person who gave her the necklace was a priest.”
“Yeah, but that person named Charlotte probably couldn’t unlock the pendant. No, no one has been able to unlock it so far. Zigrid sealed the sacred dew in the pendant.”
But then, why did she break that seal?
“And you were able to unlock the pendant because you were the chosen one. Just like how you awakened me, who was trapped in Elena’s tears.”
On the day Nellia first met Reunite, he also spoke a similar story.
“What does the chosen one mean?”
“That’s the great Zigrid’s will, so I don’t know either.”
“What the… In the end, you don’t know, right?”
“However, what I can say for sure is that your ability to prevent the Duke from turning into a snake and to unlock the sealed pendant necklace all stemmed from deep and profound emotions.”
“Emotions…?”
“And those deep emotions changed the course of destiny.”
Reunite tapped Nellia’s waist, who was murmuring the word ’emotions.’
“Anyway, cherish the feeling of valuing someone! That’s my hint.”
Although the palm was small, it carried considerable strength. Nellia patted the waist where Reunite hit.
“Since I gave you a hint, can I ask you one too?”
It felt like a loss as it wasn’t a very helpful hint, but Reunite’s gaze still looked serious, so she nodded her head.
“What is it?”
“Prince Carlos.”
After mentioning an unrelated person out of the blue, an unrelated question followed.
Nellia couldn’t answer right away. Her thoughts about Carlos had continuously changed.
“At first, he was just a frightening person who might kill me.”
However, she naturally forgot about the relationship in the original work.
Probably influenced by the Duke. If she could get along so intimately with the original villain, why be afraid of Carlos? That seemed to be the reason.
It also meant that the content of the original work had changed a lot.
Carlos gradually transformed from being a frightening person to a pitiful one. Understanding his miserable life, and knowing about the trials he would face in the future.
His arm would stiffen more, and if they couldn’t find Zigrid’s heart, there would be no other way to heal him.
“He said he was suffering a lot.”
But they would eventually obtain Zigrid’s heart, both she and the Duke. Carlos was desperate, and it was equally desperate for Duke Hart.
So, even though Carlos tried to do something terrible to her, tried to harm the Duke, she couldn’t genuinely hate him.
She felt sorry and pitiful for him…
Her emotions toward Carlos were complex.
“I asked you about your thoughts on Prince Carlos, and what’s with that confused expression?”
Nellia realized that her answer was late from Reunite’s voice.
“What do you think about Prince Carlos…?”
“Yeah.”
Nellia swallowed dry saliva and made a clear thought.
“I feel both hatred and pity for Prince Carlos.”
“Hatred and pity…?”
“Yes, that’s all.”
Reunite sighed lightly. Then he responded, “I see.”
Nellia couldn’t understand why he asked such a question with such intentions.
Reunite put his hand into his pants pocket and started walking.
Nellia followed him and asked, “What’s the matter with Carlos Prince?”
“Why are you suddenly asking such a question?”
“When I saw him, I felt sorry and pitiful. Of course, I cannot forgive him for trying to harm you.”
“Carlos was pitiful…?”
Reunite was curious about what aspect of Carlos made him think that way.
“He seemed as if he were struggling in the darkness, and now I understand. I know why he’s obsessed with you.”
Reunite spoke while keeping his gaze forward.
“It’s because you fully understand him. There are hardly any people who sincerely pity him like you do.”
Is Carlos really obsessed with him for that reason? Just because she fully understands him…
“Anyway, he’s a pitiful guy.”
Reunite mumbled expressionlessly, then turned to Nellia and said, “Enough with the chitchat, let’s find it quickly. If we don’t search diligently, I might just tell Lady Hart that you’ve been slacking off, and that’s how it will be known.”
Even though most of the chattering was done by himself so far…
While grumbling inwardly, Nellia started to look around as Reunite suggested.
There were still many places to investigate.
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.”
