Chloe’s concern was not in vain as the reply arrived quickly. The returned letter contained information about Kun’s hobby.
“I handle a sword. I probably handle it much better than you think.”
At the arrogant sentence, Chloe chuckled a little. She eagerly awaited the time to write a reply to the suddenly thought of witty answer.
“I owe my love for this work to Chloe. I, too, wanted to protect those around me. Although it’s a little different with you.”
The flow of the conversation had shifted from swordsmanship to Chloe’s first meeting with him.
Chloe did not actually remember meeting Kun.
She had met countless knights on their sickbeds, but among them, many left a lasting impression. Moreover, such a man with a strong impression should have remained vividly in her memory…
As she read this and that, the letter was soon coming to an end.
“I have plenty of time. Of course, even when I don’t have time, I will send a reply by making time. So don’t worry unnecessarily. We’re friends, after all.”
At the heartfelt final greeting, Chloe unknowingly smiled.
She, who had been fumbling with the parchment, took out a new parchment neatly stored in her desk drawer. Perhaps because she had thought of something while reading, her hand moved smoothly.
The letter writing was over by the time the sun began to wane. Kun’s letter next to her own letter. There were only two people who would write personal letters on parchment.
“By the way, parchment?”
Chloe, who had been looking back and forth at the two letters, felt a sense of incongruity.
Parchment is quite expensive. Moreover, it’s rare to use it for personal letters, not official ones.
“I should get to know the foreign nobles a bit.”
Feeling sorry for her friend, Chloe decided to look into the nobles of a country close to the Balront Kingdom. The name isn’t, but it should be easy to sift through.
Chloe, as last time, left the letter on the bedside table. When she returned after dinner, the letter was gone, just like last time.
And the next morning, a new letter arrived. That afternoon, she wrote a reply immediately, and as soon as day broke, a reply came back.
The next day, the next day, and the next.
The two actively corresponded, even if they missed a meal, they never missed a letter. There was so much that there was no room left in the drawer where she kept her letters.
Life had been so idle she wanted to take her breath away. Having something to wait for was a very good thing.
(This is a time separator.)
“I don’t like it!”
Helena, who was touring the mansion with the maids, found an uninvited guest. It was Chloe, who was enjoying lunch alone in the dining room.
Eating only bread and soup, yet looking elegant. Helena wanted to give that hateful woman a piece of her mind as soon as possible.
She would have overturned the dining table if Callis hadn’t firmly warned her.
“It’s so annoying. Using power as a shield to torment us innocents…….”
She wanted to create a big fuss and divorce the two.
But this mansion, his position, and even the expensive dress Helena was wearing, all came from that woman, so there was nothing to be done.
She had to endure just a bit longer.
“Shane.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“How is the princess these days?”
Shane hesitated, glancing at Helena, and then mumbled his reply.
“She certainly seems a bit better.”
“You see it too? How has the princess been lately?”
“Yes. She doesn’t skip meals, and she’s often seen in the garden. But since she mostly sends away the servants…. it’s hard to know exactly what she’s doing.”
She even sent away the maids and servants assigned to spy on her, so they couldn’t grasp Chloe’s daily life.
“Ah! I really hate it! Why is she like that. Really!”
In short, all the two could do was watch the woman’s behavior while merely snapping their fingers.
“No matter how well we treat her, she can’t be fine like that, can she? Right?”
She must have some scheme or reliable backing.
Thinking calmly, there was no solid evidence that it was the king.
In that case…
“Could it be something to do with Callis?”
Could that wicked woman be trying to snatch Callis away from me again? She might take advantage of this opportunity to take Callis.
Poor man, he had no choice but to follow her pace even if he had to force himself.
No, perhaps…
‘That’s impossible. He’s only seen me for a year! He even said that I was the prettiest and most lovable in the world. He said he would only love me!’
If he wanted to love Chloe, he would have stuck to her long ago.
Callis was a sunflower who, knowing that his wife loved him, resolutely only looked at Hellena.
Furthermore, he came to save Hellena as promised. He rescued her from helllike poverty and allowed her to see only beautiful things.
“Shane. Is that a sword?”
At the moment when she was struggling to calm her mind, a sight unfolded that made Hellena doubt her eyes.
A man sitting next to Chloe. Hellena pointed to the familiar figure and asked.
“……Yes. It seems so.”
Shane, who had hesitated between truth and falsehood, finally told the truth.
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.
