I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
“…You can’t possibly mean I should cooperate with that man?”
“You heard me correctly.”
“Why must it be him?”
Her tone had sharpened with the retort. The Grand Duke, sensing an odd shift, briefly betrayed his bewilderment.
“As you well know, Princess, transferring the seal to our side for now is simply impossible—it might expose our entire plan. The process must proceed gradually, as though everything were mere coincidence.”
The Grand Duke continued calmly, his voice soft like one soothing a startled child.
“For that to happen, your existence must become known to the world. To the Empire, you’ll be a suitable threat; to the people of other kingdoms, a slender thread of hope—because the presence of a royal heir signifies the kingdom’s potential restoration.”
“…”
“To ensure your safety throughout this process, we’ll need the Duke’s strength. Marriage to him will place you under the Empire’s protection, and his power will shield you from the Imperial family’s threats.”
Uncharacteristically decisive for the usually cautious Grand Duke of Kshant, she spoke with unwavering certainty.
“But… isn’t Duke Aschardt deeply tied to the Imperial family? Choosing him as an ally seems dangerous.”
“That’s all in the past. Rumor has it the House of Aschardt stands on the verge of severing all ties with the Imperial family. A house that rose rapidly under the Empire’s patronage now turns against it—they clearly intend to oppose the throne.”
From the very beginning, the Grand Duke of Kshant had evidently marked Duke Aschardt as their intended ally, fervently advocating unity with him.
At that moment, Natasha also recalled the past.
After their marriage, the House of Aschardt had cut off all contact with the Imperial family. It couldn’t have been for Natasha’s sake alone—and considering the Grand Duke’s assertion, it seemed the Duke’s house had planned their break with the throne all along.
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.

One more thing: Natasha added a condition that their marriage would take place i
That’s a smart move. I like a smart female lead. I hope she gets few more victories before she has to rely on the Duke.

He broke her trust, and now want her to believe that he is in love. I thing he also have his memories of the past.
It’s a little lot too late ass why no do this earlier if you regressed before
Yea… I don’t really know if him bringing her back really nullifies any of what happened in the first timeline
