No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
Ariante’s face flushed red at Joslin’s dry and cold words. Her large eyes welled with tears, and before Meiana could even reach out to stop her, she spun around and dashed down the stairs.
“My Lady, wait!”
Meiana tried to grab her, but Ariante had already vanished nimbly. Hearing the faint sound of small footsteps fading around the banister, Meiana turned toward Joslin with a bewildered expression.
“You didn’t have to say it that harshly.”
Joslin, still showing no trace of emotion, looked down at Meiana and spoke.
“I don’t know what tricks you used to deceive His Grace, but you’d better stop filling Her Ladyship’s head with pointless notions.”
“What? Deceive? Just what are you talking about? And Her Ladyship—!”
“If Lady Ariante is to inherit House Valterminster, not even the tiniest flaw can be tolerated. If, because of you, that foolish little girl commits some act that tarnishes the family’s honor…”
Joslin slowly leaned forward. Meiana unconsciously bit her lip and glared at her. A shadow fell over her vision… In Joslin’s green eyes, nearly black, a sinister glint flashed briefly.
“I’ll make sure you never sew another stitch again. Then you’ll spend your whole life begging by the riverbank—just like that filthy old hag.”
Meiana’s eyes widened in shock.
“Filthy old hag? What on earth are you talking about? Who do you mean?”
Joslin wore an openly mocking expression.
“Don’t play dumb with me only when it suits you. You must have met her yourself, right? Didn’t His Grace bring you from that wretched hovel of a house?”
Meiana’s breathing grew ragged. Could she possibly be referring to Lady Celin? Liriya, who had married Sediloi’s younger brother—Lady Celin was her grandmother.
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.
