“Even with the sorcerers they’ve hired now, they should be able to easily control several squads. For now, we’ll investigate a few more mines that sorcerers have been frequenting. And…”
Casius spoke after confirming that there were no signs of eavesdropping.
“When Lexion’s doctors arrive this time, could you please have the Duke check his magical condition?” His eyes were filled with concern as he uttered those words.
Before heading to the territory, Balter made a request to the duke to ensure that Edit wouldn’t be anxious, asking for a kind of magical anesthesia to be cast so that he wouldn’t feel pain every time he used magic.
Due to this magic, even Casius couldn’t assess Balter’s condition.
“Not that you’re saying it so much.”
Balter casually replied and stood up.
“Lady, it seems the Duke is on his way here. I’ll prepare some refreshments.”
Vivian spoke excitedly and quickly disappeared. Perhaps it was because of spring, but these days, seeing the master and mistress sticking together made Vivian’s heart itch.
“Is Vivian in love?”
Edit, not realizing that Vivian blushing was because of her and Balter, chuckled without catching on.
“Okay, thanks. I’ll be waiting here.”
Now that the delivery was imminent, Edit spent long hours in the annex where the Duke’s magic was infused.
Being in a place filled with the magic of Lexion made both the child in her belly and herself feel comfortable.
‘If I could live confined here for a few more years…’
Edit was quite satisfied with her half-day’s confinement. The indoor garden was so beautiful; just watching it change with the seasons made time pass easily.
As she was about to switch her gaze from a book to another one with laughter-filled eyes, a soft voice reached her ears.
“Same book as today?”
“Hello, Balter.”
Edit showed him the cover of the book she was reading, “Reproduction and Childbirth.”
“As the birth approaches, it might be good to review what you already know.”
“…”
Seeing Edit calmly speaking, Balter lost his words internally.
Despite having been through various ups and downs, there were times when she seemed to have a stronger mental strength than most priests. Now was one of those times.
Balter found Edit reading about the dangers and worst-case scenarios of childbirth, focusing on the part about “birth,” and respected her for it.
“Shall we study other parts together?”
He said skillfully, flipping through the pages. It was an action to avoid seeing the part where the dangers of childbirth were listed in detail.
But as Edit checked the part he unfolded, her eyes subtly twitched.
[The first sexual intercourse after childbirth…]“…”
Sensing that something was strange from Edit, who had read the book, Balter quickly explained, adding some clarification.
“I flipped the pages without thinking, and this kind of content came up. It’s true that I’m in a state of unmet desires right now, and I’ve been hungry for a long time, but I’m not trashy enough to show this just because the baby is due in a few days, pretending it’s appropriate.”
Feeling like the more he explained, the more it sounded like an excuse, Balter just closed the book altogether.
“Of all things, that part had to come up. Funny, isn’t it?”
Edit laughed it off and didn’t inquire any further.
It was a natural reaction.
When Balter casually flipped through the pages, the fact that a story about marital relations happened to come up was because she had been thoroughly reading that part until Vivian arrived.
‘Oh well. It went smoothly.’
If it had been exposed, Balter would likely have teased her for half a day about his own mischief, but it seemed to have passed without a hitch.
Edit lightly tapped my side, pretending not to know. There was an important conversation to conclude with him.
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.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
