When the rumors of Odette and Walter’s secret meeting first spread, I provoked Lizaina to attack Odette to confirm it.
‘Well, I didn’t catch anything.’
I was reluctant to abandon my suspicions after only one attempt.
What Blake was aiming for was this opportunity.
‘I thought Lizaina would attack Odette if I left her alone.’
Odette is cornered to the point where she can no longer be pushed.
And Lizaina seems to have overlooked it, but a cornered rat will bare its teeth.
So, I will know now.
Whether Odette is a rat that will bare its teeth when cornered, or just a worm to be trampled and killed.
‘If it’s the latter… it’s a bit disappointing.’
It means my speculation was wrong.
But if the speculation is right.
‘I’ll have to try to win her over.’
Pawns are plentiful, but few can become queens.
(This is a time marker.)
At that moment.
“So, what’s the story you want to tell by calling me here?”
Odette was sitting in a room located inside Xavier’s banquet hall.
In short, it meant she was having a private conversation with Regis.
A cold voice flowed from Odette.
“If you’re not going to bring up the matter first, tell me the promised story. That way, coming here will be a bit rewarding.”
“It’s harsh of you after I’ve made the effort to prepare the place. Have some tea first. You like this tea, don’t you?”
Odette’s gaze went to the teacup extended by Regis.
A violetcolored tea that changes color with a hint of lemon juice was contained.
It’s an import, and some grades are incredibly expensive, so Odette hadn’t had the chance to drink it often.
“I bought it on my recent trip abroad. I thought of Your Highness too. It’s a luxury item, so it should suit Your Highness’s taste.”
“…….”
It’s not polite to refuse when urged this much.
Odette reluctantly reached for the teacup.
And her throat slowly moved.
‘She drank it.’
Regis’s mouth slowly curled up.
A little more needs to be drunk for quick effects, but the tea contained a sleeping drug that could put someone to sleep in small amounts.
Now all he needed to do was stall for time.
Convinced that his plan was working, Regis bluntly asked the question he had been holding back.
“So, what is your relationship with Duke Ertman?”
“…What did you say?”
Odette’s face hardened as she put down the teacup, but Regis poured out the words he had held back.
“Yurik was next to Louis Clovis, laughing very cheerfully. You said there was nothing between you two, didn’t you?”
“There really is nothing between us.”
“Ah, that guy who used to hole up, claiming to be sick, now comes out all the way to the banquet hall to find a partner? Besides, from the way he was whispering with Duke Ertman, it doesn’t look like something of just one or two days. Are you sure there’s nothing between you?”
“That’s none of your business. You have no right to interfere. Get to the point—”
“I told you, Odette. I’m serious about you.”
Finally, Odette’s brows furrowed. But Regis continued without holding back.
“I never forgot you even when I was abroad. I can’t get you out of my head, damn it! But you’re with other men……!”
Remembering the scene from the banquet hall earlier, Regis’s voice raised, perhaps his anger had flared up again.
But noticing Odette’s stillness, he quickly calmed down and clung to her.
“Let’s try again, huh? I’m really sorry for disappointing you back then. But—”
“……Is that what you called me for? To ask for a second chance?”
“Yes. You liked me too. I can do much better than before!”
“I was wondering what you wanted to say when you called me……”
Odette, seemingly fed up, closed her eyes and touched her forehead.
“I’m curious what Liza used to seduce you this time.”
“It’s not seduction, it’s sincerity. Odette, I said I’m sorry.”
“If you were really sorry to me, you wouldn’t talk nonsense like a second chance. You know there’s no possibility.”
At the firm rejection, Regis’s face contorted.
“Duke Ertman or Louis Clovis is okay, but not me? How many times have I bent over and apologized……!”
“I never told you to do that.”
Odette replied coldly as she stood up.
Judging by Regis’s attitude, the talk about Balter seemed to have been a bait from the beginning.
‘I hoped I was wrong about this.’
It can’t be helped. It’s my fault for being fooled even though I knew.
Odette, sighing inwardly, turned her body.
“Don’t approach me again—ugh.”
And, she staggered momentarily.
‘Did she take something in the tea?’
If so, it could be really dangerous to stay here any longer.
Odette hurried to the door.
And the moment she unlocked and opened it.
“Odette!”
A beat too late, Regis hastily grabbed her.
Only halfopened, beyond the door, Elodie, who Odette had left behind, was visible.
Between the gap in the door, Odette’s and Elodie’s eyes met.
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.]
