Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
…I’m only six years old—how can it already be too late? Just how old do you have to be to start learning swordsmanship in this country? Could Tula possibly be wrong?
Recalling my previous life, where I didn’t even pick up a sword until after I’d come of age yet still rose to become a general without any trouble, I grew slightly anxious.
“Oh dear, Pavella, don’t scare the child. Blanche, don’t believe a word Pavella says. What Pavella’s referring to applies only if you’re taking the formal knight’s path.”
According to Liana’s explanation, there was indeed a formal route to knighthood here. One entered the academy at age ten, trained for five years, then served as a squire after graduation before beginning their career as a probationary knight.
She said that while some academies might accept students showing raw talent even without prior training, the prestigious academies attended by noble heirs all expected students to have completed basic training beforehand.
That meant one practically had to start handling a wooden practice sword as soon as they learned to walk.
Ah, so even here, there were their own unique hardships.
“Oh, I see. So if I don’t attend the academy, it doesn’t matter?”
“Nobles like Her Majesty the Empress, whose houses maintain their own knightly orders, don’t need to enroll in the academy separately. But since such families are traditionally martial lineages, they usually start even earlier—not later.”
…I really hoped to steer clear of the knightly path. Neither Tula nor I particularly wanted to become knights. In the end, I decided to just ask plainly.
“So, for example, if my nurse started learning swordsmanship right now, could she gain enough skill to protect herself?”
Pavella cast a quick, sharp glance at Tula, who stood stiffly beside me.
“May I—just for a moment—check your muscles, if you don’t mind?”
Out of courtesy, I first glanced at Tula to ask her permission silently.
“I shall follow Your Highness’s wishes.”

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.]
