Despite the compliment, I felt no pleasure. It was nothing more than an appraisal of a product.
The King then led me towards the Prince.
“Prince, are you enjoying the ball?”
The Prince nodded.
“Good to hear.”
The King placed a hand on my shoulder, very familiarly.
“Let me introduce you. This is my daughter. I heard she’s already been invited to dance by you. It’s fortunate your tastes align. She’ll assist you diligently during the ball.”
I internally relished the situation.
Substituting for Princess Laratu to welcome the delegation meant being attached to the barbarian Prince.
It’s a fortunate development, as I was already seeking an opportunity to converse naturally with the Prince.
I gently bowed, holding the edge of my dress, acting as if meeting someone for the first time required a bit of acting.
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness.”
The Prince tilted his head slightly, looking at me.
The predatory look in his eyes made me feel as if cold sweat was running down my back.
“Aha, this lady is the Kingdom’s new Princess!”
Kichev exclaimed in astonishment, speaking for the silent Prince.
“Did you know my daughter?” asked the King, puzzled.
“Of course! Adopting a grown lady as a daughter, it’s a first for me to see.”
His tone was overtly jovial but clearly mocking.
Caught off guard, Hermann hesitated momentarily.
But true to his status as a king, he shrugged it off without hesitation.
“It’s uncommon, but not unprecedented. The Kingdom is generous to its loyal vassals. Although not related by blood, our bond is deeper.”
Kichev smirked subtly.
“Such great magnanimity.”
Finally, even the King’s forehead tensed with veins.
Being in this situation was like sitting on pins and needles.
I was the most uncomfortable person here, trying to avoid drawing any unwanted attention to myself.
Just as the King seemed unable to hold back his anger and was about to say something to Kichev…
“The Kingdom,” Giovanni began, capturing the King’s attention.
“…values bloodline.”
A meaningful statement caused the King’s eyes to flicker, but he soon regained his composure and burst into hearty laughter.
“But to me, she is as important as Princess Laratu. What does bloodline matter?”
I couldn’t help but look at him. The king’s face, with a thin smile, sent shivers down my spine.
“What do you think of family?” the Prince asked indifferently.
“I haven’t really thought about it.”
“Of course, bloodline is important for us royals. But what truly matters is the heart to dedicate and sacrifice for each other. That’s what family is.”
‘…Really?’
I almost stared at the King.
“I’ve spoken too much.”
“…”
“Anyway, my daughter will be more interesting to you, right? Young people understand each other better.”
I was pushed forward by the King’s hand on my shoulder, the force more than I could resist.
“Please take good care of our Egreine.”
Our Egreine?
The King’s subtle voice made me sweat.
“Get along well. Don’t mind me.”
Was this situation, where I felt like a product being forcibly sold or given away, normal?
“Now, the young men of the Kingdom are waiting. Let’s not keep them waiting any longer and start the first dance.”
My face heated up.
‘To use others, one must be shameless to this extent.’
I shook off the shameful feeling and raised my head, smiling brightly.
‘Who said I couldn’t do this?’
Then the Prince’s gaze fell on me.
He extended his hand without hesitation. I looked down at it reflexively.
It was a large, thick hand, and rough too.
Different from the Kingdom’s nobles, his ungloved hand was calloused like a stone.
Feeling the King’s gaze, I placed my hand in his. It was harder and warmer than it looked.
“Then let’s go. As your King wishes.”
His last words were so low, only I could hear.
The Prince clearly knew the King’s intentions.
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.]
