“Come to think of it, you’re the knight who brought the young lady on her first day, right? You must be pleased, young lady.”
“…”
I wordlessly entered the bathroom and quietly closed the door.
“Oh my, why is that?”
[This is a time separator.]A faint smile crossed the lips of Kylieus, who was working. Phyllene was taken aback.
“Ha, have you finally made up your mind?”
Hearing Phyllene’s words, Kylieus’s brow furrowed in an instant.
It was a cold expression, as if denying that he had ever smiled.
“What?”
“You finally decide to deal with that ignorant, unruly thing……!”
Kylieus’s gaze cooled at Phyllene.
He had apparently misjudged the situation, and Phyllene stammered to ask again.
“Then why are you in such a good mood?”
“Me?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Phyllene tilted his head. Somehow, the conversation didn’t feel quite right.
“You must have seen wrong.”
Kylieus answered curtly.
Phyllene was quickwitted.
He realized that Kylieus didn’t want to continue the conversation.
But that didn’t mean he would overlook what he had clearly seen.
“No, my lord, you definitely smiled like this.”
Phyllene even demonstrated by raising the corners of his mouth.
Well, to be more accurate, his lord’s lips had merely twitched up a little, not a full smile.
But to Phyllene, it seemed as if Kylieus had grinned broadly.
Kylieus raised his head with narrowed eyes, and a silence fell.
Phyllene quickly snatched the approved documents.
“Then I’ll be going.”
Before Kylieus could say anything, Phyllene dashed away. The door closed with a bang.
Kylieus’s disgruntled gaze lingered on the door for a while. His expression seemed to ask whether to call that impertinent fellow back or not.
He probably would have called him back if there hadn’t been a pile of work waiting for him.
However, Kylieus sighed shortly and began to review the documents again.
After a few minutes, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
‘Well, it was a bit amusing.’
He hadn’t expected it, but that sound that day was from that child.
A few days ago, he had heard small footsteps outside the door while dealing with an assassin who had attempted to poison him.
At that time, the presence was too insignificant to bother with.
No, even if he had known that the sound was not from Phyllene or the servants but someone else, he would not have suspected the child right away.
It was only a 4yearold child, after all.
A typical 4yearold would not be able to act as if nothing had happened after seeing such a scene. The normal reaction would be to collapse and wail on the spot.
But that child was different.
Pretending not to notice, feigning ignorance, he had deceived himself and everyone in the mansion.
Once he knew the child’s intention, everything fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
Wandering around the mansion during the day, and encountering him at the main gate every morning.
‘He must have tried to leave the house.’
He probably thought it was dangerous here and wanted to leave.
I brought him here to use him moderately, but it became a bit of a headache when he didn’t move according to my will. If he had been a child who would listen, he wouldn’t have thought of leaving in the first place.
Rather, he was a clever child, so direct threats might have worked.
However, if there was a problem, it was that I didn’t really want to go down that path with this child.
Leaving this alone and moving on would also have been an act unbecoming of my character.
So, instead, he decided to warn the child in another way.
From today, the escort attached to Diané was roughly of that meaning.
Give it a try as you wish.
‘Now let’s see how my dear child turns out.’
A smile crossed the lips of Kailius.
Joy showed on his face.
[This is a time delimiter.]‘Duke, you wicked villain!’
As the blocks she had been stacking suddenly collapsed, Delma, who was next to her, came over in surprise.
“Baby, is block play not fun? Shall we play a puzzle?”
“No, it’s fun.”
I mumbled, not looking amused at all.
Delma tilted her head but sat beside me and helped me stack the blocks again.
I chose block play, which required concentration to calm myself, but it was not very effective. My mind was still unsettled, boiling with anger.
‘You wicked villain! Among villains, the Duke is the worst!’
“Oh my, Baby. If you put so much force into the blocks, they will collapse soon.”
Delma said as I snapped the blocks together. I took a calming breath in search of balance.
But the fact that the Duke was bad remained unchanged.
‘He did it on purpose, on purpose!’
As I stacked the blocks, my thoughts were consumed by that alone.
Specifically, why the Duke assigned me an escort.
‘He’s caught on, no doubt about it.’
It was suspicious enough. I should have realized it from yesterday when he sent me obediently. Without a doubt, the Duke had realized that I had been attempting to run away.
He even appointed me an escort, as if to show off.
Sophia and Delma said the Duke did it because he was worried about me, but I thought otherwise.
‘He must be watching me.’
Anyway, he needed me, so he brought me here.
He would probably keep me in his hands as long as there was still value in using me.
I didn’t plan to leave for the time being, so that wasn’t a big problem.
But I had a separate major problem in front of me.
‘He never does this on other days!’
Usually, I was always up before Sophia or Delma came. Also, my face might be a little puffy in the morning, but not this puffy.
And I always went straight to wash my face as soon as I got up!
So why, of all things, was Yan there!
‘Ugh, it’s all ruined.’
I couldn’t hide my gloomy mood and buried my face in both hands.
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.]
