Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 74
Maria Etel swayed like a sheet of paper. Baroness Ruhas, the imperial princess’s governess, firmly grasped Maria Etel and steadied her.
Seeing her so docilely swayed, like a doll moving exactly as she pleased, the princess felt a slight loosening of the tightly knotted resentment in her heart.
“I was curious. What expression would the one who ignored my summons and embarrassed me be wearing right now?”
At the gentle voice, Maria blinked. Watching Maria’s glistening eyes slowly regain focus, the princess lifted one corner of her lips.
“You are still truly lovely.”
A doll-like beautiful face, radiant golden hair—even the pitiful aura soaked in tears.
Perfectly charming, just the way her brother would adore.
If only that little head knew how to think for itself, she might have cherished her as quite pretty indeed. Unfortunately, it seemed such cleverness was absent. The princess added gracefully,
“…So busy receiving my brother’s protection that you haven’t even had time to visit me.”
Her voice, as it slipped out, was as cold as a blade. The princess gazed at Maria with eyes sharper than frost.
If she had any sense, she would have prostrated herself and begged forgiveness.
If she were truly frightened, she would have burst into tears.
But seeing that face—still merely pretty and nothing more—made anger surge up again in the princess. She forced a smile and steadied her breathing.
She had gritted her teeth, vowing not to let Maria Etel off easily when she arrived, yet listening to her governess’s advice instead of acting on impulse had proven rather useful.
“Summon Maria Etel at once! This time, I truly won’t let her off.”
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.
