Serven quickly followed after the Empress.
Pondering the still incomprehensible words Serven left, Dekan noticed something odd.
“Why is Count Sigress guarding Her Majesty…?”
Something was changing.
And the Empress would know the reason.
(This is a time separator.)
“First, let me remove your clothes, Your Majesty.”
Ivette escorted the returned Rasilia to the bathroom.
“The water is heating, so please hold on for a moment. Ah, what to do. Your lips are chapped, Your Majesty.”
Ivette’s hands busily began unbuttoning.
Her heavy, ornate outer dress was removed, revealing her underdress. Rasilia grabbed Ivette’s hands.
“That’s enough. I’ll remove my underwear myself.”
“Your hands are shaking! Let me do it.”
“No. Don’t touch me any further.”
Due to her chapped lips, Rasilia’s words sounded even colder.
“Ah, well… Alright, Your Majesty.”
Ivette bowed deeply and stepped back.
It was sad but correct. Ivette should not know about the marks.
“Turn around. Once I’ve undressed and entered the tub, you may approach.”
“……Yes, Your Majesty.”
Ivette obediently turned her back.
Rasilia undressed while keeping an eye on Ivette. Her trembling hands made unbuttoning difficult. She was grateful that all her underdresses now had buttons in the front.
Then she noticed something strange.
Ivette’s clothes were almost dry. They were slightly damp, but only because she was helping remove her outer dress.
“Weren’t you drenched?”
“Huh? Ah, no. Thanks to Your Majesty covering me, I wasn’t wet at all! …Ah, I feel so embarrassed and guilty, Your Majesty. I should’ve been the one to get wet for you!”
“Don’t say that. It’s fortunate you remained dry.”
“Fortunate? I am just regretful and regretful.”
It was still hard to believe.
‘Was the spell targeted only at me?’
In Delarta, where clerical power is prioritized, little is known about spells. They were considered old and primitive magic, unstable powers.
But it might not be. The spell distinctly targeted, yet they said it was a mistake. It could be much more sophisticated.
After removing her wet clothes, Rasilia wrapped a towel around herself and entered the tub.
Splash.
A small water sound was heard, and Ivette asked.
“Your Majesty…? Have you entered the tub?”
“Yes. You may turn around now.”
“Yes.”
Ivette quickly turned around to adjust her wet clothes before approaching.
“Is the water temperature to your liking? May I wash your hair for you?”
“The temperature is fine. As for my hair… No, I’ll do it myself.”
“Then may I at least soap you up…?”
“That’s fine too.”
Ivette looked downcast.
“I should be the one doing all this for you…”
“Don’t be silly. Lady Pashard only helped me take off my clothes.”
“No, but I was a palace maid. Assisting with the bath is the job of a palace maid.”
“Exactly. That’s why you don’t have to do it.”
“No, isn’t that a good thing? Even though I’m just a maid, I can also perform the duties of a palace maid. I thought that would make me more helpful…”
Her face was so disappointed that it was both pitiable and yet appreciated.
Rasilia lifted her wet hand and gently tapped Ivette’s back of the hand.
“Exactly. That’s why you’re already very helpful. I just don’t particularly enjoy being assisted in bathing.”
“Ah… if you say so.”
As the warm water began to warm her body, the chill gradually subsided.
Rasilia leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub and looked up at the ceiling full of intricate marble carvings.
As her body felt better, her mind was about to burst with worry.
‘What now?’
Two months were still far away.
She couldn’t just wait for the priests to arrive from Delarta.
‘Can I leave this place without revealing my identity?’
Survival demanded it as the best option.
However, the problem was that there was no way to do it.
‘If I can just get out of the palace… Ah, the Empress can’t leave the palace without a reason, can she? What if I say I’m going to visit the Piellion Duke’s family? I can go to meet family, right?’
That wasn’t a particularly good idea either.
A guard would certainly follow. The Emperor had ordered the shadow knights to guard the Empress. Whether their purpose was protection or surveillance was unclear.
‘I can’t shake off those guards on my own. And the appearance of the Empress is too conspicuous.’
With her looks and attire, anyone would recognize her as the Empress.
‘If I change clothes… but then I’d have to hide my face, wouldn’t I? Wouldn’t that make me even more suspicious?’
Furthermore, Rasilia knew nothing about life outside the temple or the imperial palace. Even if she somehow managed to shake off the guards like Serben, she felt daunted by the prospect of the long journey to Delarta while keeping her identity concealed.
‘Running away is impossible. Moreover, I’m the Empress. They won’t let me run away.’
Why did she have to come back to life in the body of the Empress?
Rasilia bit her lip.
‘If I hadn’t been the Empress, returning to Delarta wouldn’t have been so difficult…, …Huh?’
Then suddenly, a thought occurred to her.
What if she was no longer the Empress?
If she became someone unrelated to the status of Empress.
Then she could go anywhere, couldn’t she?
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.]
