Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
Once again, the duke’s mansion was thrown into chaos. Pauline didn’t return until midnight, collapsing before Terren and bursting into tears.
“I saw it clearly with my own eyes. It was the duke’s carriage.”
Pauline had already recounted the whole story countless times. The carriage sent to fetch Grace and Lea bore the unmistakable crest of the Courtois household.
It was identical in every detail—no room for doubt whatsoever. Yet the real carriage had been waiting at the originally agreed-upon meeting spot.
“When I went out to look for the parasol, the carriage had vanished without a trace.”
Terren roughly swept his bangs aside. Just who on earth had the audacity to kidnap Grace?
“Could it be Allen MacDowell?”
He asked Luke in an irritated tone.
“He’s already left Rubec.”
“Then who the hell is it?”
“Well….”
“Enough! Seal off Lebon City and inform the Police Chief. No—no, summon all my soldiers immediately, now!”
“Yes, sir!”
Luke dashed out to carry out Terren’s orders, while Terren headed to this floor to arm himself.
He donned his uniform, buckled on his sword, and grabbed both his musket and rifle. Overwhelmed by fury rising to his throat, he let out a roar.
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.)
