Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
Essela stopped walking. The voice coming through the crack in the door was Conrad’s. A maid who saw Essela quickly tried to greet her, but Essela pressed a finger to her lips. Her fingertips trembled.
Her heart pounded. A bad premonition crept over her.
Though she knew she shouldn’t listen, Essela moved closer to the dining room door.
“We must bring Olivia back. Wasn’t she brought into our house for exactly that purpose?”
Through the narrow gap, she could see Conrad’s back.
What did he mean—what purpose had her sister come for?
Anxiety coiled around her entire body, just like the last time she’d attended the imperial princess’s tea party.
“If Essela becomes the crown princess…”
What was this about? Her sister was the crown prince’s fiancée. They loved each other—why was her name being mentioned?
“…She’ll suffer so terribly from the empress’s poison that she’ll wither away and die. I can’t bear to see that.”
At Conrad’s heavy voice, Essela reflexively thought of Olivia.
Then what about Olivia?
In an instant, all the blood seemed to drain from Essela’s face, leaving it deathly pale.
Not understanding any of this, Essela ran blindly toward her room.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder. Startled, Essela turned around. It was Jade.
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.
This chapter just solidified how studip they are. In one breathe they call her stupid and in another they acknowledge how smart and hard working she is
Sweetest chapter right here… all the romantic build up was fulfilled nicely
Why are you blaming her mother and not the men who had much more power to force her into it
