Carlos stared indifferently at the swiftly passing scenery outside.
Despite the wellorganized beautiful streets of the capital being the pride of the Andrian Empire, they couldn’t capture Carlos’s gaze.
His mind was full of the incident that had just occurred.
‘Duke Hart.’
He had the audacity to mention his right arm.
His intention was to attack a vulnerability, but as always, he disguised it with elegant words and a tender tone.
The Duke was always like that.
Overly polite, yet his gaze alone looked down on people.
The frustrating thing was that no one but himself noticed Duke Hart’s attitude.
‘Even my father.’
More than anything, Duke Hart blinded the eyes of his father, the emperor. Everyone took the Duke’s words as right to that extent.
On the contrary, he was sharply observing Duke Hart, but no peculiar points were noticed.
‘So it’s even more suspicious.’
It felt weird when a person was too clean.
That was why he finally broke into Duke Hart’s mansion today.
He used to show up at the palace until he got sick of it, but one day he just cut it off.
His father said that Duke Hart had hurt his foot.
But Carlos didn’t believe it.
Not going to work for weeks because he hurt his foot? That’s something a minister would say.
Even if that was true, it was excessive favoritism. If it were someone else, would it even be permissible?
And when he actually met him, he knew. He wasn’t hurt.
If he had to guess why he was staying in the mansion…
‘That maid.’
Was her name Nelia?
Remembering Nelia, Carlos’s stiff lips loosened.
When he saw her at the Duke’s house, he thought he had seen her wrong at first.
But no matter how much he thought about it, it was definitely the woman who confessed to dropping the necklace while kneeling at the party.
The face peeking out from the stairs was definitely her.
Since then, he had become interested.
In fact, Carlos knew. The whole story of what happened when the necklace was broken at the party.
Carlos, the crown prince, had a master key that could open all the places in the palace. He was the one who opened the locked door to the exhibition hall where the necklace was.
Carlos, who wanted to be alone in the bustling party room, opened the door of the exhibition hall.
Carlos, who entered the exhibition hall, was sitting in a corner.
Then a suspicious man with brown hair came in.
The man was grumbling, found the necklace, and opened his eyes wide.
“Wow, what’s this.”
Clank!
And he audaciously approached and dropped the necklace.
Carlos snickered.
‘Do you know how much that costs?’
He was curious about how the man would act, so he watched him, and then a woman who looked strangely like the man came running in.
“What’s this, what did you do!”
“Uh… Uh, Nelia.”
He couldn’t let the culprit get away, so Carlos got up from his seat.
Even when he got close, they were so panicked they didn’t notice he was there.
“Who made this?”
He knew but asked deliberately. Carlos enjoyed testing people.
“Did you make this?”
“What if I say no? No, why do you keep talking down to me even when you’ve never seen me before!”
It’s even better if they act foolishly.
Of course, the man didn’t realize he was the crown prince.
‘My face isn’t known.’
Carlos clicked his tongue at the man’s impudence. Then, he etched the man’s sins one by one into his mind.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Yeah……!”
He glanced at the woman, and her face was pale.
Tsk. Judging by the similar hair and eye color, they seemed like siblings, but they sure picked their family wrong.
Carlos decided to show mercy to the woman out of pity.
“I will give you one last chance. If you confess now, I won’t demand reparation.”
However, the man missed his chance.
Carlos was pondering how to humiliate this man now,
Thud.
The woman fell to her knees.
“I’m sorry.”
Desperation reflected in her transparent brown eyes.
“……It was me.”
Carlos knew the woman wasn’t the culprit. He clearly saw the man drop the necklace.
However, he was curious why she would kneel and falsely confess in his place.
“So, it was not him, but you who did it.”
“Yes, it was so beautiful that I touched it and then…….”
Carlos deliberately put pressure on Nelia, hoping she would regret and confess the truth.
“Do you know how much that necklace costs? It’s worth more than selling off the entire imperial family.”
“……I’m sorry.”
But the woman seemed intent on taking the fall, merely apologizing.
Seeing this, he felt unexpectedly touched.
‘……Touched?’
Carlos frowned at the sudden surge of emotion.
He almost chuckled. Since when had he become such an emotional person?
Was he going to let off the person who had damaged the imperial family’s treasure just because a woman had knelt?
“Well, well. I dropped my necklace earlier, and now the number of spectators has increased.”
An unwelcome voice sounded then.
Looking back, Duke Hart was smiling nonchalantly.
Carlos spat out a hollow laugh.
The real culprit kept quiet, while other people claimed that he had dropped the necklace.
‘How ridiculous.’
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.”
