Nathan tapped his ears.
“I have good ears.”
“Ah.”
Rishi blushed.
If Nathan had ears as good as Kei’s, he might have heard all the secret stories Rishi shared with Kei.
As if sensing Rishi’s thoughts, Nathan spoke.
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law. I’m not as strong as the commander. The commander’s abilities, whether as a human or a beast, are strong enough to affect him, but I’m not at that level. I just concentrated because I heard loud noises, wondering what was going on… I had no intention of eavesdropping. I apologize.”
“No, it’s my fault for making a fuss in a place like this.”
Rishi walked toward the mansion with Nathan.
“On the day of the wedding, the first thing I saw when I woke up was the commander turning pale next to sister-in-law. The commander, who often goes to terrifying places and has almost died several times, but I’ve never seen the commander make that expression before.”
Nathan smiled broadly as he looked at Rishi.
“It looked like the commander was going to faint, no, die, as if he was going to die, not just collapse.”
“…”
“Until sister-in-law woke up, the commander didn’t sleep at all. He stayed close to sister-in-law, and if sister-in-law moved even a bit, he would call people, call a doctor… it was chaos.”
Rishi didn’t know that. When he woke up, Kei didn’t show any such concern to Rishi. His heart swelled. Kei always made him feel this way.
“It’s truly remarkable that sister-in-law can use relics. If you use that power, we can achieve our goals more easily.”
“That’s right.”
“But sister-in-law, you must also understand the worried commander’s heart. It’s not certain what price a person who uses relics has to pay. Using relics is an extraordinary thing, so the price to pay might also be enormous. Maybe it will devour sister-in-law’s life.”
Rishi wasn’t afraid. What Rishi feared was living uselessly in this life, just like in the past life.
“There’s nothing wrong with putting my life on the line to help my husband.”
At Rishi’s muttered words, Nathan stopped walking.
Nathan’s cat-like eyes stared intensely at Rishi.
“Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t say that putting your life on the line is so easy. Don’t you know what it’s like to lose someone precious?”
Rishi didn’t know. He had never experienced losing someone precious.
In the past life, there was never anyone precious to lose.
“The commander and we also don’t want to live in a city built on sister-in-law’s life. Can sister-in-law do that?”
Can he? If Kei dies for him, can he live happily, cherishing the life Kei protected?
The answer came immediately.
“No.”
Now he understood why Kei was so angry.
‘I lived once and died, but I’m still immature.’
Because he lived only as a doll, only as a good decoration to carry around, he didn’t know much about the emotions flowing between people.
He wanted to convey his warmth to Kei, who gave him warmth, but it seemed like his warmth was still insufficient to share with others.
Returning to the room, he changed his clothes and headed to the bedroom.
Kei wasn’t there. Even after lying on the bed and waiting for a long time, Kei didn’t come in.
Even when avoiding Rishi, he used to come and sleep in the bedroom.
His absence felt cold.
Nathan said Kei wasn’t angry, and Rishi believed him.
Even though Kei wasn’t angry, it seemed like his heart was hurt. Rishi wanted to soothe his hurt heart, but he didn’t know how.
If he went to him now and apologized, would he smile?
Wouldn’t he find it bothersome?
The resentful look in his eyes and his cold back lingered in his mind, making his chest tight.
In the end, unable to sleep, the next day arrived, but even that day, Rishi couldn’t see Kei.
+++
Kei was in the reception room of the guesthouse, a detached building.
There were no guests at the moment, so the only people wandering around the detached building were the maids cleaning.
Sitting silently on the sofa in the reception room, Nathan and Eugene came.
“Jamie, who went to subjugate the Lamba tribe, contacted us. The mission was completed successfully, and she will return soon. There were no casualties among our allies, and she succeeded in capturing a few members of the Lamba tribe for mental domination. She said she would report to the Gavizar Empire and the Holy Nation and then come back.”
Kei nodded with a melancholy expression at Eugene’s report.
On the opposite sofa, Nathan, sitting silently, frowned and propped his chin on the table with both legs up.
“Commander, how long are you going to keep sulking here? It’s been ten days.”
“Is it hard to come to the detached building?”
“That’s not what I meant. You left Jamie and sister-in-law alone for three days.”
“Even if you fight, there’s a saying that you should sleep in one bed, Commander.”
“See, Eugene, this stubborn guy knows, but the Commander doesn’t.”
Kei narrowed his eyes and stared at Nathan’s feet on the table, then opened his mouth.
“I yelled at Rishi.”
“I see.”
“I don’t know how to look at Rishi’s face.”
Nathan widened his eyes as if surprised and opened his lips.
“Commander, don’t tell me… you’re running away like this because you don’t know how to apologize to sister-in-law for yelling at her?”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“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.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
