“The sorcerer has been gone for only a week now. It takes time for the effect to appear. The sorcerer said so too, that it wouldn’t be visible to the eye right away.”
“……How long do I have to believe that?”
Rasilia changed her tone, pulling her hand away.
Judging from Ternadan’s attitude, dealing with him as a stranger seemed to have little meaning.
“Until the emperor’s thirtieth birthday.”
Ternadan hesitated for a moment before spitting out this answer.
“The effect will surely appear before then.”
It was a matter of a year later. It was too long a time to wait. And Rasilia could not stay in the empire for a year more.
Ternadan grasped Rasilia’s hand again.
“Trust me. And forgive me already. It’s not like this when we can’t even see each other often.”
It was a desperate voice.
If nothing else, it was clear that he was on the side of the empress.
Rasilia pulled her hand away again. Ternadan followed her retreating hand with sorrowful eyes.
“Before forgiveness, there’s something you need to know.”
“What? Tell me anything. I’ll do whatever you ask.”
“The memory loss is real.”
“……What?”
“So tell me. What was the spell for?”
[This is the time separator]“It’s absurd. ……Could it be a side effect of the spell?”
Ternadan asked repeatedly before he believed Rasilia’s words.
“I’ve heard that the greater the spell, the more side effects or backlash……. Crazy, but memory loss?”
Ternadan grabbed his chin and paced frantically around the room.
“Don’t do that, sit down. Sit down and finish talking.”
Rasilia pointed to the couch. Ternadan, who had stopped, looked at Rasilia for a while before returning to the couch.
“So…… You really don’t know anything? Everything you did with me?”
“I don’t know. Is there anything in there that I need to know?”
“Damn it. You have to know everything! Is that what you call talking?”
Ternadan was suddenly angry. It looked more like fear than anger.
He clutched his black hair, resembling the empress, as if tearing it.
“What on earth……. Ah, of all things, to lose your memory. At a time as precarious as now.”
Ternadan, who had raised his head again, released his hair and looked at Rasilia with earnest eyes.
His eyes seemed sincere.
“Listen well, sister.”
“I’m listening.”
“You’ve lost your mark.”
It was a sufficiently astonishing story.
The mark was evidence of companionship. If she had lost it, as the empress, she would have had to do whatever it took.
“You might lose the mark? Was the mark something like an object?”
“What……?”
Ternaden laughed bitterly.
“You really know nothing. You called a sorcerer to recover the mark, but you’ve actually forgotten what the mark is.”
Ternaden pointed to a part of his body.
It was awkward that it was between his buttocks, but Ternaden’s face was serious.
“The mark of the Princess is here. In a place where one can see it only if they are not the companion.”
“…….”
The mark was situated in a deep, inner part of the body.
The Empress herself could not see it. It existed in a position where only those in a very intimate relationship could see it.
If there were exceptions, it was the maidservants who attended her baths.
One day, a maid who was unusually diligent in cleaning her body discovered that the mark had changed. It was one month before the wedding with Rascal.
During that one month, more than half of the mark had disappeared.
On the day of the wedding, it was erased enough for anyone to know that the mark was incomplete.
She could not proceed with the wedding night like this. She must not get caught by the Emperor.
“So that’s why you avoided it every time… It wasn’t because you hated the Emperor.”
“Hate?”
Ternaden burst out laughing.
“The Princess, hate Rascal? If love was something edible, the Princess would have eaten Rascal, down to a single hair. Even if it means dying from an exploding stomach.”
It was something she could not understand.
“Even if you loved him… You couldn’t keep hiding it. You still proceeded with the marriage, right?”
“Do you think I wouldn’t have stopped her?”
Ternaden’s face twisted.
“I told her again and again. It was too precarious. She had to give up the throne of the Empress. If she couldn’t, she had to at least delay the marriage until a way was found.”
But it was to no avail.
“Didn’t the Emperor suspect? If she had refused contact like that, he could have been suspicious.”
“That’s the problem.”
Ternaden sighed with a crumpled face.
“The one who should be clinging and begging is clearly Rascal, but the actual person is indifferent.”
There was a reason why the companion was called a companion.
Just as the Empress could chew up and devour the Emperor for loving him so, the Emperor had to love the Empress in the same way.
But Rascal was not like that. He never wished for the consummation, nor did he ever crave or demand affection. Cartahena was no different from other people who could not evoke any emotion from him.
The more he was like this, the more the Empress struggled with the suspicion that she might not be the real companion.
The desperate Empress sought a sorcerer and cast a spell. The Duke of Piellion paid a hefty sum with the family’s fortune.
The result was still unknown to anyone.
Ternaden, who was anxiously sweeping his hair back, made a suggestion.
“Let’s check the mark now. The spell may have been successful.”
This was not just the Empress’s problem. The whole Piellion Duchy might have to pay the price for having brought in a fake companion as the Empress.
“The blood of Eliaden cannot pass thirty without a companion. Whether real or not, the first contract specified that. Rascal will somehow try to make contact by then. He has been neglecting it until now, but he can no longer do so. Do you understand what I’m saying? The Princess must have the mark of a companion by then.”
“I know that. But……,”
“Damn, if I knew this would happen, I should have checked the mark coming back and sent the sorcerer away. I thought it was successful since there was no contact. I didn’t think the Princess would lose her memory. Anyway, we need to check now.”
Ternaden spoke so casually that for a moment, she almost forgot where the mark was.
“Quickly, Princess. Turn around and undress.”
“What……?”
“That’s the only way to see it.”
However, it was a position that could never be forgotten. Rasilia extended her hand to hide her bewilderment.
“Wait. I’ll do the checking.”
“It’s in a place you can’t see. …Ah, you haven’t forgotten this as well, have you?”
Ternaden revealed his irritated emotion as he looked at Rasilia.
“I have seen it several times already. There’s no need to be embarrassed all of a sudden.”
“What do you mean? Why would I,”
“Don’t you remember?”
Ternaden abruptly approached, so close that their lips could almost touch.
“The relationship between you and me, what it was?”
That’s when it happened.
Clank, Bang!
Without any warning, the door to the room where the two were opened.
And the person who entered was the Emperor, holding an impossibly large bouquet of roses.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
