Pellio went on and on about Ermedillin for quite some time.
Robert initially found his friend’s neverbeforeseen enthusiasm fascinating, but after two hours, he was completely bored.
So when his wife Alisha returned, he was able to greet her with a brighter smile than usual.
Roberto reluctantly ended the conversation and immediately kicked Pellio out.
Alisha, unaware of the reason, felt embarrassed by her husband’s actions, but Pellio himself didn’t really care about his friend’s reaction.
He was simply too excited, confident that nothing in this world could ruin his mood.
Humming a light tune, his footsteps felt as light as air as he headed home.
He didn’t know what kind of verbal abuse or violence awaited him at home, but Pellio now felt immune to such things.
After all, the woman he loved stood in his way.
He had only recently committed to protecting her with all he had, but it turned out she was the one protecting him.
She freed him from a lifelong thorn, that of being a hypocrite.
Ermedillin felt ashamed to have entrusted her vengeance to another, yet she herself was willing to stand up for someone else.
Well, he didn’t know much else.
All the wicked acts of her past now felt incredibly distant.
The figure of her standing up to his father was definitely not that of a devil or witch.
He wanted to protect her even if he had to follow her to the very end of the abyss of evil, but it seemed he was sorely mistaken.
It was Ermedillin who had saved him from the dark and gloomy valley of depression, a strong and beautiful savior who needed neither someone’s approval nor salvation.
Pellio felt certain that he could follow Ermedillin’s path forever.
Valerie’s menstrual cycle had always been irregular.
So she didn’t think much of being about two weeks late.
Especially because her body had weakened after not being properly taken care of after the potion.
But when the nausea and dizziness persisted, she asked for a diagnosis from the doctor who regularly checked up on her.
As expected, she was pregnant.
“Of course. I knew it couldn’t end like this! I’m the protagonist! I’m the protagonist of this novel, so it can’t end this way!”
The doctor was about to inform Henri, so Valerie eagerly awaited Henri but he never visited her place.
However, Henri did release her from the potion’s effects and reassigned her maids.
Valerie’s life was quickly getting back on track.
A few days after revealing her pregnancy, late at night, just before she was about to go to bed, Henri visited.
“Are you here?”
Valerie greeted him with a bright smile, but Henri’s expression was not very cheerful.
“Take care of yourself for the time being…”
He wasn’t thrilled about the timing, but he was having a child with his longtime lover.
Henri had no intention of sparing any support until she safely gave birth.
“The National Union Day parade! Can I join?”
“?”
He had come to give her some encouraging words, but where she had heard this, he didn’t know.
“You can’t ride in the same carriage as me.”
“Why?”
“I’ve decided to march alone this year.”
“My child with Your Majesty is in my belly, can’t that change?”
Perhaps she was humiliated by what happened at the founding ceremony, but Valerie didn’t try to change her mind.
“You can’t be in the same carriage, but if you want to follow in another carriage, I’ll consider it.”
Valerie wanted to push for the same carriage, but seeing Henri’s firm expression, she backed off.
“Will Her Majesty the Empress be joining the procession?”
“No, the Empress will not participate.”
Though sharing a carriage was out of the question, Valérie felt slightly better knowing the Empress would be absent.
“Then let’s march together! I hope the people will welcome the baby inside me.”
As Valérie looked up at Henri with dreamy eyes, thinking of the cheers they would receive from the people, a dark shadow still loomed over Henri’s face.
“Do you insist on marching from a different carriage?”
Hearing Henri’s words, Count Halstein stifled a chuckle with a cough.
“Yes. It seems she really wants to be celebrated.”
“But the point is lost if we don’t share a carriage.”
“I know, but what can I do if that’s what she wants? Whether or not Valérie faces any repercussions, the child inside her is mine. It’s only right for the child to receive the blessing of all the people.”
“That’s a fair point.”
Henri’s firm tone made Count Halstein reluctantly bow his head.
“After the procession, prepare a simple baby announcement ceremony as well. We must introduce the child in my womb to the nobles. Make sure everyone attends wearing masks; we don’t want an outbreak in the palace.”
“As you command.”
After Count Halstein left, Henri, who remained alone in his office, found his brows furrowing deeper.
There was a time when Valérie presumptively assumed she would become the Empress, and he had wished for a child to come quickly.
But now, everything was muddled.
He wasn’t even sure she could remain as his lover, let alone become the Empress.
“It’s my fault. I lacked selfcontrol.”

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.]
