Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 149
Leaving behind the servants who stood dazed and motionless, Duke Madelaine gritted his teeth and rushed up the stairs. Jade’s furious voice lashed at the duke like a whip in his ears.
“Olivia isn’t in the imperial palace by her own will!”
Last night, Jade had returned to the mansion only in the late hours of dawn—and he hadn’t come alone.
Two knights, battered but with fierce eyes, a knight with emerald-green eyes, and one barely breathing—four in total.
The duke realized that three of them had been prisoners, and Jade screamed like a madman.
As the commotion drew the household staff out one by one, Jade shouted with eyes half-deranged.
“The Crown Prince threatened me by holding Bicander’s knights hostage! That’s why she’s in the palace….”
He bit his lip as if unable to continue. The moment Duke Madelaine—Giovanni—pieced together the muffled remainder of that sentence, his mind went blank with shock.
And at that very instant, a tearful voice, muffled as if soaked in water, reached his ears.
“How…! Is it because of me?!”
Essela, who had always avoided even facing her father, came running down the stairs, sobbing. She clung to Giovanni right before the eyes of countless servants. Even when the flustered Veronica and maid Sally rushed over to lift her up, it was no use.
“Father, please! I… I delivered the Crown Prince’s letter to my sister myself.”
For the first time, Giovanni thought not of his tearful daughter, but of Olivia far away. That child who had met the Empress she so feared, that child now in the palace under the Crown Prince’s coercion….
“Otherwise, he said he’d really kill them all.”
When the image of that face—too choked up even to cry—rose in his mind, Giovanni felt a chilling dread as if his heart had been ripped out.
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?!
