Believing that his daughter would hatch as a butterfly beside him, Kiyam had educated her strictly and harshly in a demanding environment.
Only to hatch her as a butterfly and send her flying by his side.
Hearing that no woman with a butterfly pattern had appeared in the empire yet, he had even more hope, firmly believing that his daughter would hatch as a butterfly during the Enlightenment Day.
However, on the day of the long-awaited Flower Festival, when a butterfly suddenly appeared from a lowly minority, he must have been deeply upset.
In the past, when his female companion was not chosen as a butterfly, he had immediately set out to suppress the minority, but luckily, he had found a butterfly and dedicated it to him.
Reflecting on his past self, who had received a tremendous amount of power as a reward for raising his rank from the position of Viscount to the significant “Changeback” title, Karaf suddenly felt disgusted with himself, as if his stomach was churning.
He detested the most promiscuous individuals in the world. Because my father was such a person, the memory of making my butterfly-like mother miserable and abandoning her inflicted wounds on him that could never be erased. Therefore, he had no intention of keeping multiple women by his side like his father. Karaf, as if showing off, put a piece of steak meat dripping with blood into his mouth, chewed it leisurely, and said, “The taste of the meat is amazing. The taste of slicing it is exquisite.” After putting the last piece of meat into his mouth and roughening his palate with wine, he put the glass down with a thud and said, “Listen well, everyone. I hate repeating myself. I have no need for fake butterflies. If there are fake butterflies or beetles that crave sweet nectar and come rushing at me, I will slit their throats like this steak. Keep that in mind.” Finishing his words, he glanced piercingly at the nobles with his gleaming red eyes. His voice resembled the roar of a wild beast. Even though he looked like an unbelievably beautiful rose, when he openly thrust his sharp thorns, it was truly terrifying. Everyone knew he was a man who could pierce the other party with those thorns and make them bleed. Finally, Karaf looked at Kiyam and hammered the last nail, “And Viscount Kiyam. My standards are very high, so I’m not interested in butterflies of just any appearance. Even if it’s your female companion, don’t think I’m interested.” With a smirk and a condescending tone, Karaf finished speaking, and Kiyam’s face turned reddish-purple by now. “Well then, finish your food. It seems like everyone is so hungry, looking like they want to bite and tear the meat with their hands.” The nobles started their meals without saying a word, and for a while, there was nothing but the sound of utensils moving in the restaurant.
“And Viscount Kiyam. My standards are very high, so I’m not interested in butterflies of just any appearance. Even if it’s your female companion, don’t think I’m interested.”
As Karaf spoke in a tone that openly looked down on Kiyam, Kiyam’s face turned various shades of red.
“Well then, let’s finish the food. Everyone seems so hungry, looking like they want to bite and tear the meat with their hands.”
The nobles started their meals without saying a word.
No one spoke, and for a while, there was nothing but the sound of utensils moving in the restaurant.
After a long run, Jakal and Sosa arrived at the village of the minority union.
As soon as they entered the village entrance, some people recognized them, and their eyes widened as they shouted.
“It’s the Kelpie tribe…!”
The two of them were soon surrounded by the villagers.
The gazes of the people looking at them were not pleasant, and there were open murmurs heard here and there.
“…What are these traitors doing here?”
“If they came here to beg, they can just leave!”
Men with rough faces openly shouted at them.
But even in the tense atmosphere, Jakal remained calm, looking straight ahead.
“…What’s all this commotion?”
At the voice that followed, people stepped aside.
Through them, the head of the village, Horak, who led the leaders of the other four tribes except the Kelpie tribe, walked towards them with an authoritative demeanor.
He was the leader serving as both a priest and a leader in the village, and the other leaders were the chiefs of the remaining four tribes.
Horak stopped a little away and faced Jakal.
“Who is this? The successor of the Kelpie tribe? No, I can’t call you a successor anymore. You’ve abandoned our tribe.”
Horak’s eyes grew cold.
Ignoring the muttering people, Jakal spoke calmly to him.
“What’s all this noise.”
Ignoring the murmurs, Jakal spoke calmly to him.
“Long time no see. I was going to greet you first, but before that, let’s talk properly, Chief. I left the minority group, but I have never abandoned my tribe.”
Sosa looked at Jakal with serious eyes.
The chief’s words about abandoning the tribe were already wrong just by taking Sosa away when leaving the village.
The eyes of the two became tense.
“So, what brings you here.”
“We’ve come to hold you accountable.”
“Accountable?”
“Yes. This time, the Nason tribe made an exclusive request to Rikaon and betrayed us. Thanks to them, our Rikaon was almost taken to the Imperial Palace and faced death at the hands of the Emperor.”
At those words, the people murmured loudly.
Jakal spoke confidently without blinking at the chaos.
“Despite being a minority among the minority tribes, the Nasan tribe collaborated with the almost enemy-like Imperial Palace to suppress Rikaon. Not only that, but they also endangered the Empire’s butterflies. As the leader of Rikaon, I must ask for accountability and receive compensation for the false commission.”
The chief let out a small sigh.
He, too, was well aware of the fact that a butterfly emerged from the minority tribes this time. Moreover, on the day when the Nasan tribe betrayed Rikaon, he knew exactly what had happened, thanks to the tearful confession he received from the one who escaped from the Emperor.
“If you’ve come to ask for an apology from us, we’ll gladly comply.”
“No.”
Jakal looked directly at him with a charismatic face and said, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t come back to this village just to receive an apology.”
At his words, the surrounding people became more uproarious.
The chief raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Then?”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
