“Do you think she heard our conversation outside?”
“As far as I can see, the lady doesn’t seem to be thinking much? She was purely staring at the master……”
“Knight. We cannot be careless. Regardless, she is a woman from Libertan. You never know what she might do.”
Erich sighed and pressed his temples hard.
“Master. How about calling her to dinner tonight as planned? Then we can check how far she has heard.”
“Erich.”
Johann called Erich in a voice persuasive enough to be low.
“Since when have you questioned my decisions?”
“I misspoke.”
Erich quickly bowed his head. Originally, Johann did not easily change the decisions he made. It was a decision that had been overturned once, so it wouldn’t be changed.
“I will inform them that the master will be attending tonight’s dinner alone.”
The captain cut in as soon as Erich finished his words.
“Then are you considering accepting the request of Duke Libertan?”
Johann, who had been looking at a letter from Libertan for a moment, pulled up one corner of his mouth and wore a sneer.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]I, who went outside, was lost in confusion.
‘Did Duke and Duchess Libertan request to see me just once?’
Images of the Duke and Duchess of Libertan flashed across my mind, making me feel ridiculous.
‘Why on earth?’
Honestly, I wasn’t really curious. There didn’t seem to be a great reason to dig into it. They must have been struggling enough to ask for the help of a child like me after falling into treason.
‘The problem is me.’
The image of a loved adopted child would be maintained, but I seemed to be more hated than before due to the stronger actions of the Duke and Duchess of Libertan.
‘Does it have to do with not inviting me to this dinner with the visiting nobles?’
Already having a headache, I let out a deep sigh. It seemed extremely difficult to prepare for an event that didn’t appear in the original work.
That’s when Betty, who had recommended the afternoon tea today, approached with a curious expression.
“Ma’am. How was the master’s reaction? Didn’t he feel uncomfortable?”
“No, not that…… He didn’t seem to like it that much.”
“But he seemed to leave the tea as it was, right?”
“That is true.”
“Then he must have liked it.”
Seeing Estelle’s empty hands, Betty shrugged her shoulders. I couldn’t believe it, so I asked Betty again.
“Did he really like it?”
“Of course. You know how much the master hates unpermitted intrusions. And you even brought tea.”
“……In other words, Betty, you suggested something that the duke might really dislike.”
At my pointing out, Betty hastily excused herself in a flustered voice.
“I, of course, thought it would go well. The important thing is that you were able to leave the tea you brought, and even asked for snacks. That means he really liked it!”
Betty clenched her fists and got excited as if she had gone in and out herself.
Somehow, I felt like it was to hide her shakiness, but I decided not to argue any further. After all, there was no big meaning to argue about what actually happened with Betty.
“I might have been overly considerate because I’m the wife.”
“……The master?”
Betty’s eyes were filled with disbelief as if the Johann she knew and the Johann I knew were completely different people.
“If you think so, there’s nothing I can do…… But the master really hates having others in his space.”
Anyway, I got free time because I didn’t have to go to the dinner with the nobles.
So, I had intended to visit the library that I couldn’t properly visit last time due to Erich. However, it was locked, perhaps because it was the day the guests were coming.
‘Should I ask Betty about the key?’
Normally, I wouldn’t be this proactive, but I thought it would be better to find a book about black magic and read it when the mansion was busy enough to be locked.
I returned to the place where I last parted with Betty.
Then, a strange sound came from the garden near the mansion.
“…Es…telle.”
Usually, if you hear a strange sound all of a sudden, it would be creepy, but the voice didn’t sound scary, but rather warm.
‘Who is it?’
I looked around, but there was no one around.
‘It seemed like they called my name.’
So, I purposely walked towards the garden where the sound came from.
The Blanched family had beautifully decorated all the gardens except for the rose garden cared for by Johan’s mother.
Especially behind the mansion, they planted lush trees to feel like a forest, which had its own charm.
‘Still, there’s nothing.’
Even though I purposely asked towards the side where the sound came from, ‘Were you talking to me?’ there was no response.
The unique summer smell of the summer season stimulated the tip of my nose.
‘It must be almost time for the summer festival.’
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that summer is the period when the most events take place in the empire. After the summer festival, several events overlapped after a short period of time, making it feel even longer.
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.”
