Seduced the Doomed Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 199
Devir Beatus. Who was he, exactly? Outwardly, he was the heir of the Beatus family—infamously dubbed the Imperial Family’s lapdog—and simultaneously the shadowy underworld boss who wielded influence from the dark corners of society.
A man of cold logic who never engaged in anything disadvantageous. Amidst these chaotic times, he moved swiftly.
He had to act in ways that benefited the Graham Empire and, further, the Beatus family—seizing what he could and cleaning up the aftermath.
Devir Beatus had already grasped power exceeding even that of the imperial royals, becoming the true power behind the empire.
Who would dare treat recklessly a man who counted even the Emperor of Barcan as a friend?
Even Prince Raid, the designated next emperor, felt uneasy around Devir. The power he held was as solid as the relentless effort he’d poured into building it.
Calpher had once jokingly suggested Devir launch a revolt and claim the throne himself, but Devir simply preferred working in ways suited to his nature.
“I’d rather prop up a puppet and pull the strings from behind.”
At those words, Calpher shook his head with an expression of exasperation.
“Thank goodness you’re on my side.”
“If you’ve got nothing useful to say, leave.”
“Heh. I came all this way, yet you’re so cold.”
Devir set down his quill and looked at Calpher, who was perched on the desk. The already cramped workspace, piled high with documents, felt even more confined with Calpher’s presence.
“Just state your business plainly. I’m busy.”
“Devir Beatus, have you ever considered going into exile? Come to my empire, and I’ll grant you power second only to the emperor.”
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.
Wow. This story was so convoluted, it was hard to follow. I’m going to have to sit on this and write a more thorough review another time. After I read the side stories.
I mean, the Knights can actually find love now that they don’t have to worry about Rodric going berserk.
Man I really want to see Calpher and Vanessa in a happy married life together!
Raid, you need to give up on Diana man. She already has a husband.
