Interest Compounds on Revenge (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49
Lea returned to the ducal residence with Terren. However, expensive roses were spread across the lobby.
Roses shimmering so exquisitely with white and blue hues must have cost a fortune—not just one or two, but enough to carpet the entire lobby like a rug.
“Grace, go ahead and step on them.”
“Terren, these flowers are too… precious to trample underfoot.”
It pained her. Above all, crushing living flowers beneath one’s feet would surely kill them.
“It means I want you to walk only on paths lined with flowers from now on.”
“Flower-lined paths?”
Though she’d felt reluctant at first, she couldn’t refuse anymore—grateful for the thoughtfulness behind deliberately laying flowers along her path.
Lea slowly placed one foot forward at a time. Each time a lush bloom was crushed beneath her sole, she squeezed her eyes shut, yet she didn’t wish to reject the flower-strewn path Terren had prepared for her.
“I… only want to walk on flower-lined paths.”
Lea gently lifted her skirt and tiptoed lightly over the floral carpet. Soon after, Terren also stepped onto the flowers and walked toward her.
“I feel a bit sorry for the flowers, but it’s as if we’re strolling together through a garden.”
A radiant smile bloomed across Lea’s face.
Seeing Grace smile so brightly amidst the flowers, Terren’s heart stirred once more.
‘The dove that flew far away has returned to my arms. Such a good girl.’
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.)
