“Can’t we go together?”
Because we’re going to meet Pig X. It would be somewhat inappropriate to bring the children to a place like a prison.
“I’ll be back soon.”
“I don’t like it when Unni is not here…”
“Me neither.”
The two kids looked at me with a sulky expression.
“I’ll be playing with the bunnies. I’ll be back in no time.”
Star Palace was a place that could proudly claim to be the safest within the imperial palace. Cherti and Melodin were watching from not too far away, and there were knights quietly guarding Rodelo in that place.
There was no problem with safety, but leaving my children behind made my heart uneasy.
“If you don’t want to, Unni, should I not go?”
“No! I can’t always be with Unni. I remembered something to do! Can I do anything while Unni is not here?”
“Yeah. But what do you want to do?”
“It’s a secret! I have to finish what was in the bag!”
I wondered why she was hiding it so much from me. I looked at Shasha quietly. But Shasha seemed to have no intention of telling.
“You won’t tell me?”
“No!”
“Okay. Then Unni won’t be more curious. Have fun with Rodelo then.”
“Yes! Piggy, come with me!”
With that, she toughly grabbed Rodelo’s arm. Rodelo, who seemed to be somewhat disappointed that he couldn’t come with me, had no choice but to enter the Star Palace with Shasha.
Watching the kids from behind, my steps didn’t easily part.
“It will be okay.”
Somehow, I felt separation anxiety growing within me. I worried too much about the children, and I had a growing reluctance. But not only this time, but there would also be such events in the future.
Meeting people, handling affairs, and so on.
So, I moved my feet heavily.
“Ken.”
“Yes.”
“I plan to go to the place where the Piggy X is imprisoned today.”
“I’ve heard from His Majesty. I will guide you.”
Ken, who was waiting not far away, took me toward the main palace. Every time I came to the main palace, it boasted an incredibly large size.
There seemed to be hundreds of rooms. Considering it was a place where the emperor and the crown prince stayed, it was natural to think so, but every time I came to the main palace, I marveled anew.
I heard that there were no people on the side where Rodelo stayed, but the first floor of the main palace was overflowing with soldiers guarding the castle and court ladies. I glanced at them and passed by the main palace stairs.
There was only an ascending staircase on the central stairs, and no matter how much I looked, it didn’t seem like a place where there would be a prison. So, I followed him, feeling somewhat timid.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a place opposite to the Star Palace.
There was a separate door for going out, and there were stairs leading down.
“I’m here for the first time in a while.”
“Yes. Since this area is the side of the imperial knights centered around the main palace, you probably haven’t come here. If you go out through this door, there is the headquarters of the knights, and all the training places are here. And the prison is also here.”
“I see.”
“Let’s go then.”
The knights nearby bowed their heads as soon as they saw us, and I could easily go down to the underground. The prison looked just as I had imagined, as if it were exactly as I had imagined it.
The atmosphere had changed completely from just now.
As if deliberately creating such an atmosphere, there were no wallpapers from here. The raw bricks were exposed, and only irregularly placed wall sconces illuminated the surroundings.
The staircase leading underground was longer than expected, and the path to it gave me an illusion that I could even smell blood.
After a while, I finally arrived at the underground prison. Uniform iron bars were placed on every entrance, showing thorough surveillance, and there were iron bars again at the place where I descended the stairs.
Passing through the opening like an automatic door, after walking endlessly through the vast underground prison, I could finally meet the former Marquis Tethlo.
The underground prison was slightly darker than outside. It even gave the illusion of a musty smell. There was only one blanket on the chilly floor, and Tethlo was sleeping on top of it.
“Wake up.”
When Ken hit the iron-barred window, Tethlo, who was lying down, slowly got up.
As soon as he saw me, he approached with a surprised look.
“Hello, how are you?”
“Y-You…?”
I thought he would either get angry with me or blame me for this situation, but he just weakly moved his fingers, looking like he hadn’t eaten properly for a few days.
I wondered if he was using magic, but nothing seemed to happen as if he couldn’t use magic.
“I’m Isabella. You might have forgotten by now.”
“Forget?!”
“I came today to say something… Have you heard any rumors?”
“Rumors.”
Piggy X, no, Tethlo looked at me with a face that indicated he hadn’t heard anything at all.
“Oh, I guess I haven’t told you yet.”
I was delighted to hear that I could go straight to him, but it turned out the information hadn’t been relayed yet.
“What?”
Perhaps because he was inside the iron bars, Tethlo looked at me quite politely compared to last time.
“Your life is in my hands, or precisely, your life is in the hands of Isabella. Have you heard such a saying?”
I deliberately asked him to convey it precisely so as not to be pushed back in momentum. That the emperor is on my side. That I have such strong power in this place.
So, it was to make the dealings with him a bit more comfortable…
“Oh… that.”
As if he remembered belatedly, he mumbled.
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.]
