“Yes, Mark. You’ve met his wife Eugenie, haven’t you? Didn’t recognize her?”
Mark was one of the knights in the order where Eric had started his career as a rookie knight.
Although a commoner and thus under Eric, Mark was strong and of good character. He was a subordinate and senior knight whom Eric, who had limited battle experience back then, trusted dearly. Unfortunately, he died in battle.
“Ah.”
Finally realizing, Allen clapped his hands together.
“Right, right. No wonder. I thought the face looked familiar.”
“You, really—”
Between disbelief and anger, Eric pondered what to do with this guy, who still wore a skeptical look.
“Why did the kid call the captain ‘Dad’?”
“He’s grown up fatherless, calls any adult man ‘Dad.’ Go see for yourself, he’ll call you ‘Dad’ too.”
“Really?”
Though not fully convinced, Allen nodded, and the subordinates murmured behind him.
“Ah, I see. Knew our captain wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“I always believed in the captain. Anyway, the vicecaptain just blurts out without knowing.”
“The vicecaptain is like that.”
‘These people. They were all happily spouting whatever they wanted earlier. Looking at me as if I’m not human.’
Shooting his subordinates the most disdainful glare he could muster, Eric saw them look away one by one, retreating to their seats.
“……Ah, captain.”
“If you talk nonsense again, I will actually kill you.”
“Shouldn’t you go to sisterinlaw quickly?”
“Why?”
“I saw it with sisterinlaw, that thing.”
Thud. Eric let go of the collar he’d been gripping.
Adjusting his crumpled shirt collar, Allen spoke.
“Sisterinlaw seemed very angry.”
“······.”
“Wow, I haven’t felt cold sweat on my back like this since I first saw a demon.”
Grinning, Allen informed the subordinates.
The subordinates gestured for Allen to shut his mouth, warning him that he could actually die if he didn’t.
“Captain?”
Hearing Allen’s call, Eric’s attention snapped back.
He gathered himself and responded.
“Alicia wouldn’t misunderstand over something like this.”
“You think?”
“So stop worrying needlessly. You’re the cause of potential problems.”
Chastising Allen, Eric donned his jacket.
Pretending to be unfazed, Allen inwardly felt relieved and asked Eric.
“Where are you going, Captain?”
“The palace.”
“Ah, yes. Please go and come back.”
“Let’s talk when I get back.”
“Huh!”
Eric glared at the frightened Allen and left his office, slamming the door shut behind him.
Then, as usual, he started sprinting down the hallway as soon as he rounded the corner.
Other knights passing by stared as if an emergency had occurred, he was moving that fast.
(This is a time separator.)
As soon as Eric left the knight’s brigade, he ran fullspeed toward Earl Russell.
I hope there’s no misunderstanding, but what if there is? What do I do?
That was all he could think about.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he sprinted to the second floor.
Bang—!
Startled by the suddenly opening office door, Alicia looked up to see Eric grasping the door handle, panting.
“Knock next time.”
Eric thought he had to explain logically and seriously so that Alicia wouldn’t misunderstand and would trust him.
But the words that came out of his mouth were a desperate mix of seriousness and urgency.
“It’s a misunderstanding!”
Alicia blinked her eyes wide open.
“What?”
“Alicia. I can explain.”
“Explain what?”
“What you saw with Allen. It’s a misunderstanding. I know what you might be thinking, but it’s not true. Just calm down and listen to me.”
Speaking seriously and logically was much harder than Eric had thought.
A myriad of words and sentences jumbled together in his mind, making it even more difficult.
Alicia stared at him with wide eyes as Eric took a deep breath to continue speaking.
“You seem like you should calm down first.”
“Huh?”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m not okay. But right now, the important thing is not me. What about you?”
“Me? I’m fine.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean, why?”
“…”
Alicia smiled at the confused Eric, who had shut his mouth.
Her smiling lips were somewhat malicious.
She had been tormented by this man to the point of losing sleep last night, so a little mischief wouldn’t hurt.
So she opened her mouth nonchalantly.
“If you’re talking about the hidden woman and son, you don’t have to. It’s possible.”
“Don’t talk nonsense about hiding them. Wait, what do you mean ‘it’s possible’?”
“I’m in no position to say anything about your love life.”
“It’s not a love affair, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Okay. Fine. It’s a misunderstanding. But what’s going on at this hour?”
Eric was left speechless by Alicia’s smooth transition.
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.]
