Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 116
Regalis’s face grew increasingly pale. His heart clenched tight at the thought that Dimidius—the man he loathed—might indeed ascend the throne, just as Daphne had foretold. He couldn’t breathe properly, and fury bubbled violently within him.
To the enraged Regalis, the Emperor spoke with a cold expression.
“Pull yourself together. Not only is Lilith’s testimony entirely true, but the people of Bonus Empire now know it was Lilith and Dimidius who stood against you as you slaughtered the citizens of Geranium. The prevailing opinion is that the imperial family failed to protect Bonus Empire precisely when it mattered most.”
Countless citizens had witnessed Lilith and Dimidius confronting Regalis after he transformed into a monster. Moreover, it must have become widely known that Orentia had stepped forward, using her holy power to prevent the Demon King’s influence from spreading further.
Even while losing his mind as the Demon King’s contractor, Regalis had clearly seen Orentia radiating brilliant light.
At that moment, the imperial family had offered no help at all, and neither had the Pope nor the Saintess, who had tried to eliminate Lilith. It seemed none of them could escape accountability.
Regalis let out a sigh, his shoulders slumping.
“Sigh… Then what will become of me now?”
The Emperor clenched his fist tightly and looked down at Regalis with an expression of utter disappointment.
“Are you asking because you truly don’t know? You no longer possess the qualifications to be this nation’s Crown Prince. Apologize yourself and step down.”
He had gone to great lengths, even attempting to divorce Dimidius and Orentia, but Daphne’s prophecy appeared far too powerful.
With a face steeped in profound despair, Regalis uttered in a trembling voice.
“I… I simply cannot bear to see Dimidius ascend the throne. Even if I must relinquish my position as Crown Prince, I absolutely cannot watch that happen!”
Not only was Orentia—the woman Regalis loved—beside Dimidius, but if Dimidius were to become Emperor as well, the pain would be unbearable. He felt he’d rather die than be consumed by such rage.
Hearing Regalis’s anguished cry, the Emperor knelt on one knee and gripped his shoulder firmly. The pressure was strong enough to make Regalis frown.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
