Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
“……Yes?”
Lina repeated, her face dazed as if she’d heard something unbelievable. To suddenly suggest having a child—her cheeks, already flushed with embarrassment, quickly turned crimson.
“W-what on earth do you mean by that……!?”
As Lina stammered over her words, Belige murmured with an utterly serious expression.
“You know that in this country, anyone possessing magical power becomes part of the imperial household regardless of their social status, right? They despise magic slipping beyond their control.”
Lina quietly nodded at the duke’s words.
“The moment they find out you have magic, they’ll stop at nothing to claim you for the imperial court. After all, you’re merely the daughter of a viscount—and until recently, even a commoner.”
Only then did Lina seem to grasp Belige’s meaning, letting out a quiet breath.
‘They wouldn’t dare act carelessly toward a woman carrying the heir of a ducal house. That must be why……’
Apparently, even if they hurriedly married and she became duchess immediately, he feared her position would remain unstable without an heir.
Understanding Belige’s anxiety yet unable to suppress a wry smile at his extreme solution, Lina replied,
“Don’t worry, Your Grace. We haven’t been discovered so far, have we? So surely we can keep going just as we have—”
“No.”
Belige seized both of Lina’s arms.
“It’s not enough.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
