Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 24
Ariadne’s sudden prostration startled Countess Marquez and Marchioness Chibo, but Queen Marguerite remained perfectly composed, showing no sign of disturbance at all.
– “Why on earth is she refusing such a treasure?”
– “Who knows…? Isn’t it an honor for her family?”
– “Exactly! This treasure is more than worthy of becoming a family heirloom.”
Compared to Marchioness Chibo, who seemed utterly baffled, Countess Marquez appeared to have grasped at least a hint of the situation.
Leaving the two noblewomen whispering behind her as quietly as possible, Ariadne remained prostrate and earnestly pleaded with Queen Marguerite.
“A treasure beyond one’s station only brings harm to its owner. Today, lacking ornaments suitable to my attire, I came wearing only a flower in my hair instead of a proper hairpiece. I neither deserve such an extravagant gift nor possess the ability to safeguard it! Your Majesty, please take pity on me and grant me your mercy!”
Queen Marguerite’s lips pressed firmly together.
“Ariadne de Mare. I understand why you’re acting this way.”
Though the Queen gazed at her with eyes full of pity, the coldness lingering on her face did not fade.
“But this is His Majesty the King’s command. Even I cannot help you.”
She descended from her chair, personally lifted Ariadne to her feet, and placed into Ariadne’s hands the ebony jewel box containing the ‘Heart of the Azure Sea.’
To someone else, the Queen’s support or the ‘Heart of the Azure Sea’ might have represented noble glory and supreme honor—but to Ariadne right now, it was no different from a threat to her life. She could only stand there, pale with terror.
“Let me give you one piece of advice. Indeed, the ‘Heart of the Azure Sea’ is far too precious for you to possess alone. Yet, aside from His Majesty the King, its size is simply too grand for anyone else to claim outright. Many will covet it. Let them balance each other out. If you lack the strength to protect the ‘Heart of the Azure Sea’ by yourself, then ensure that multiple parties desire it simultaneously. It won’t be easy—but it’s your only option.”
Ariadne bowed her head. Though her bow was impeccably respectful, inwardly she desperately wanted to cry out, ‘If you can do it so easily, Your Majesty, why don’t you try it yourself!’
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.
