Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 49
The night when even the fiercely burning midsummer sun takes a rest.
The Grand Duke’s carriage procession halted at the point where the long, winding narrow path met the main road again, having passed through a green barley field swaying in the pleasantly cool breeze.
They still had a full day’s journey left to Colina Rosa, so the party decided to set up camp in a small fortress atop a hill overlooking the Verde River.
In truth, according to Captain Leo’s original plan, they should have arrived at their destination long ago.
However, Frost had changed the itinerary the day before departure, insisting they take a longer detour to stop here.
Falko Fortress had always been a place Frost was eager to visit. Since it was conveniently close to Colina Rosa, he couldn’t resist adjusting the schedule out of a desire to show it to Yuriella.
“Honestly! Why go so far out of the way just to lodge Her Imperial Highness in such a shabby, inconvenient place?”
Cassandra complained, narrowing her eyes sharply.
Falko Fortress had been constructed along the border back when the Empire was still merely a kingdom, and it had long lost its original military purpose.
Nowadays, it served only as a free lodging for weary pilgrims and peddlers traveling through this barren land where decent accommodations were scarce.
“So this is Falko Fortress…!”
Head Butler Alexis and Head Maid Rosalynne nodded emphatically upon seeing the fortress.
“Truly an excellent choice…!”
This was the very inn where Frost’s parents had stayed during their journey across the northern provinces—undertaken instead of a honeymoon—to gauge the people’s sentiments.
It was also the historic site where the blessed union that gifted them the beautiful child, Archduke Frost, had occurred!
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.
I love how she realized she loved him from the begining. But I die seeing him jealous of himself.
Awww
Kyaaaaa!!!!!! He took his decision!!!! He’ll try. He doesn’t know he won a long time ago.
