“Oh, thank you.”
Philips stealthily scanned Diana.
She looked much prettier than when he first met her.
And her naive appearance was quite cute, unlike the aristocratic women of the capital, who had been sullied from the bottom up in high society.
Seeing the fresh look of a young woman he had not seen in a while, Philips felt his body and soul were rejuvenating.
‘Ah, I have been really tired lately.’
Philips had been tormented by the Empress’ nagging for the past few months.
Thinking about it, Anais’ wedding was the beginning.
She made a fuss about wanting to marry her off to a prince of the Winters family, then went wild, declaring that they should be treated as a traitorous family when they went bankrupt.
Her father, Duke Trevi, even joined in, harassing him for months, saying that he had to take power from the Winters family.
Fortunately, the problem seemed to be solved when Nathaniel and Jaina got married.
But now, Nathaniel had to bring in a consort, and he had been causing all sorts of trouble, so much that his longforgotten migraine had returned.
‘Come to think of it, Jaina is a lucky charm.’
She managed to break Duke Trevi’s power without lifting a finger and even gained a strong ally, the Duke of Winters, to keep him in check.
‘It’s time to take a break now.’
The Emperor looked at Diana as an eagle would look at its prey.
Seducing such a country maiden was a very simple matter.
“Hee hee hee. Since I made you cry, I must take responsibility. You really didn’t get hurt anywhere?”
“Yes……”
“That’s really a relief. But just in case, I will send a doctor.”
Diana sensed something mixed in the Emperor’s gaze toward her.
‘Surely not.’
Diana was about the same age as Princess Anais.
So she thought that he wouldn’t look at her with those eyes.
“I’m fine, Your Majesty.”
“No, do not refuse. It’s not a big deal.”
“Yes.”
It felt uncomfortable somehow.
But there was no reason to refuse.
Diana had no choice but to accept the Emperor’s favor.
(This is a time separator.)
“Henry?”
“Yes, I think Princess Anais and the Empress fought.”
My words darkened Anais’ face.
“I was worried about Henry too. But my mother really cherished Henry, so she never hit him or anything.”
“I heard she slapped him recently. And it seems like she’s been pushing Prince Henry harder than before.”
Anais knew that acting like this could lead to violence becoming a habit.
She looked down at the teacup she was holding with a worried face.
“The Empress doesn’t stop you from seeing Prince Henry, right?”
“Yes. But I can’t see him as often as before. It’s obvious that something is going on……”
“Hmm.”
A different approach was needed.
But the Emperor’s education was entirely the responsibility of the Empress, so we couldn’t intervene.
It was frustrating, but there was nothing we could do right now, and that was stifling us.
“I will try to see him more often.”
“Yes, Princess, please take good care of him.”
With that said, Anais left her seat, saying that she needed to see him right away.
I escorted her out and went up to the bedroom.
It was early in the evening, but someone was waiting for me.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw Nathaniel curled up and sleeping on the bed.
“He’s still like this.”
I muttered, gently stroking his cold scales.
Nathaniel had been like this for a week now.
‘Is there a reason why he hasn’t returned this time?’
We’ve been married for about half a year.
He had never remained in his original form for this long during that time.
Nathaniel said it was his first time too.
“Hmm.”
He was cute and adorable, but the lack of smooth communication was a problem.
And with the harvest festival approaching, a delay in work would be critical.
“Ah, you woke up?”
[Yeah.]Nathaniel rubbed his eyes and got up, yawning and sitting down right away.
When he’s in dragon form, he spends most of his day sleeping, probably because he’s a baby.
[You’re still like this.]Nathaniel sighed and muttered.
As time went on, he too looked anxious. I sat next to him and asked.
“By the way, I heard there’s unpublished material about ancient dragons in the royal library. Is that true?”
[Oh, yes. It’s not exactly unpublished, just that it’s so old that nobody’s interested.]I didn’t understand his words.
The imperial citizens were more sincere about the ancient dragon legends than anyone else.
So much so that the nobles babbled absurdly about needing to create many offspring from Nathaniel’s bloodline.
[It seems like it’s too much of a fantasy breaker.]His words made sense.
Just looking at the massive dragon statue in the temple, one could tell the disparity between reality and legend.
“Do you need qualifications to go in there?”
[No, why? Want to go?]“Yes. I need to check if there’s anything helpful.”
Just sitting and waiting like this was utterly distasteful.
Nathaniel told me to do as I wished and stretched out.
“You need to eat dinner. Sit down. I’ll have the meal brought.”
Saying that, I went outside and personally brought in a tray.
A delicious smell wafted from the fresh salad and perfectly grilled steak.
I caught the fleeing Nathaniel and made him sit down.
[Uh, I don’t like salad.]“You’re a child now, so you have to eat things like this.”
[That’s nonsense.]“It’s nonsense for a grown adult to throw a tantrum about not wanting to eat salad.”
After scolding him a few times, he finally started to eat the salad.
It’s not like I’m raising a child, what is this really?
[Your eyes are impure.]“Why would they be? I was just thinking how cute you are.”
I smiled and said, causing him to drop the apple he was eating for dessert.
He covered his face with both hands and turned away, seemingly embarrassed.
‘I can’t help but tease him; his reaction is so immediate.’
I spent my time teasing Nathaniel over and over again.
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.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
