My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49
Chloe went out under the pretense of visiting the royal family.
Fearing that the duke’s carriage might be tracked, she deliberately took a village carriage to the Empire.
It took a full day and a half to reach the Empire. Though it could have been done in a single day without rest, she traveled leisurely, taking breaks along the way.
Chloe alighted from the carriage under the escort of the coachman.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It is you, madam, who has worked hard. I hope good fortune awaits you.”
She had arrived at the Imperial Palace’s carriage station, where many others were also coming and going besides her.
“So many people at the palace—could there be some event today?”
“The main church has temporarily closed, so His Majesty opened the palace chapel for devotees like us. Everyone’s heading there to pray.”
She learned that the Empire’s main church had closed to allow audiences with the deity.
To accommodate those wishing to pray or receive blessings, the palace had been operating a small chapel attached to the secondary palace for several days.
Thus, the usually quiet palace was now bustling with people.
Chloe waited patiently in the long line. Her turn finally came when the clock chimed twice to mark the hour.
“Is your purpose to visit the chapel?”
A knight standing guard at the gate asked indifferently.
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.
Chloe surprised me. Really Chloe doesn’t want the position of empress but mistress? How will she see herself in a higher position than Helena? Chloe is stupid.
Previously, the empire seemed to be only a few hours away. Chloe would go and come back easily. And now it took three days?! (☉_ ☉)
Aha! That’s why the cart was slow and took three days.
