Captured into the Bedroom of the Enemy Emperor (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 24
He bent his upper body to meet Patricia’s eye level. Startled by the sudden closeness of his deep green eyes, Patricia turned her head away.
He let out a soft chuckle and tilted his head a little further.
“For someone who defied the imperial command by falling asleep because she was tired, you seem remarkably energetic?”
Patricia noticed he had shifted to a sarcastic, overly formal tone—and realized it annoyed her even more than when he spoke casually.
“My apologies, Your Majesty. I fell asleep, but I’m awake now. What brings you here…? I thought the White Palace was solely the Empress’s domain.”
“My command?”
“Ah… that.”
“You can still obey it now. Come to my office.”
“No, that’s a bit difficult.”
“Why?”
“It’s too late, and my attire isn’t suitable to visit Your Majesty’s quarters…”
Attire? Har Chen placed both hands on his sword and leaned his tall frame sideways.
She wore a loose, plain white linen nightgown—no skin exposed, no clinging fabric revealing her figure. A neat ribbon was tied precisely below her collarbone.
“Well, it actually looks more proper than the dress you wore earlier today.”
“That’s only because Your Majesty’s perception is distorted. The dress I wore earlier was strictly for going out; this is sleepwear.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
Re-reading this chapter, it made realize how little Patricia regarding her life compared to Patrick, all because of her guilt over her twin’s sickness which she assumed caused by her taking away his nutrition during pregnancy (in my opinion, it’s an entirely absurd superstition and baseless theory at best). Glad Patricia has come far by started relying in Harchen until she can trust him and vice versa.
Oh! Harcen made a surf board and have Patricia surfing at the sea? That’s so nice of him! If I were her, I too would be thrilled as I riding the waves.
Could it be the grave with the red hibiscus is the late Empress’ (a.k.a Patricia and Patrick’s mom) grave? Talk about cutting onion.
