Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 149
It had been ten days since returning to the ducal residence. During that time, an overwhelming amount of news had flooded into the estate.
This morning, the Marquis and Marchioness Valiere personally visited the ducal residence right from early dawn.
Terren welcomed the marquis couple together with Lea.
However, the atmosphere was vastly different from when they had met ten days ago at the hotel café.
“We’ve come to apologize to you both.”
The Marquis Valiere was the first to speak. Now that he mentioned it, even the usually stern Marchioness’s expression appeared considerably gentler.
They began their story from the moment they encountered Emperor Teresa while leaving Bellucia.
Though Lea had listened without much expectation, the tale turned out far more fascinating, satisfying, and even moving than any gossip she’d ever heard.
Lea was amazed by Emperor Teresa’s determination.
“I had no idea Her Highness was so deeply thoughtful. I never imagined she’d go to such lengths for her mother.”
The Marchioness, seemingly touched, choked up slightly.
“It’s astonishing. I had no idea there was such a profound backstory. I’d only ever thought of her as someone with a strong personality.”
Lea, too, was so surprised she couldn’t close her mouth.
To give up a woman’s life for a mother disfigured by smallpox?
Moreover, hearing that Teresa’s choice had been made out of a desire to understand her mother’s feelings made Lea’s heart ache.
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.
I don’t understand, if she is trying to save the twins, why is she putting a gun to her head? She needs to be alive for the twins to survive.
This is sounding less like a punishment and more like a privilege.
Sometimes this novel’s inability to reflect anything close to realism frustrates me. Let’s reward arson and attempted murder! (Can’t help but point out the lack of creativity with Mr. Baker’s name.)
