Why would someone expelled from the Repel family for misconduct target me? It would make more sense if he held a grudge against Repel and tried to assassinate Charlotte.

“I tried to interrogate him, but he wouldn’t open his mouth at all. What’s even stranger is that he doesn’t seem to have any intention of escaping. It’s like he thinks being caught by us is safer.”

“He’s probably afraid of the mastermind behind the incident. How about inducing testimony through magic?”
“I’ve already tried that method. However, it seems that the mental magic doesn’t work on him, whether it’s due to his unique constitution or some other reason. He’s quite skilled at hiding. That might have been a significant factor in how he managed to remain undetected until now.”

Hmmm.

I scratched my cheek, lost in thought.

‘I have to somehow get his confession. Is there any good way?’

Even the Fernan family, known for having an excellent intelligence network in the shadow realm, couldn’t find useful information for nearly a year. Now that everyone involved in this incident has been eliminated, and not a trace of evidence remains, the one witness I found was practically the only key to solving this case.

I was contemplating seeking help from Sione or Elga when a forgotten ability suddenly crossed my mind.

‘Right! I have mind control!’

Mind control.

An ability to control not only vampires but also other supernatural beings. Although I rarely used this ability in everyday life, considering Sione’s request, utilizing mind control to extract confessions from those unaffected by mental magic seemed like a piece of cake.

“I’ve thought of a good way, Cain. I’ll personally extract his confession.”

“Princess?”

“Yeah. Remember, I can use mind control. Do you recall when I tried to use it on you, Cain?”

The first time I met Cain, I attempted to use mind control on him. At that time, I was too young and had just discovered the ability, so it ended in a miserable failure.

“That ability should probably work now. Assuming it’s successful.”

“Ugh… I was just a little kid back then! Things are different now. If you don’t believe it, should I try it on you again, Cain?”

“I’ll refuse. If I fall under Lady Bella’s mind control, I might lose control of myself and say strange things.”

Strange things? What could he mean?

Is he secretly planning something suspicious behind my back?

‘Well, that’s unlikely, but if there’s even a hint of something strange, I’ll use the ability without hesitation.’

In reality, my mind control wasn’t all-powerful. If it were, I would have directly met Galio and Charlotte and interrogated them about the assassin incident.

Through various tests of my ability, I found that mind control didn’t seem to work well on individuals with more vampire-like characteristics—those with blood closer to pure-blood vampires. Most likely, such individuals, often found in ancient noble families, were less susceptible to mind control, similar to Cain in the past.

Even if the attempt were successful, there was a high chance they would quickly break free from my control. Using the ability carelessly could lead to even more trouble.

“Anyway, I’ll meet this Tian person. I’m not sure if I can extract a confession, but it’s worth a try.”
“He has confined that person to our family’s secret location in the shadow realm. If you want to interrogate him directly, it seems you’ll have to leave the royal palace… Are you okay with that?”

“It seems convincing Sione is all we need to do. But it’s surprising. I thought he would have hidden somewhere in the Fernan mansion for sure.”

“There’s a saying that it’s dark under the lamp. It turns out he has been moving within the shadow realm all this time. To avoid drawing attention, he decided to hide in a secure place instead of sneaking outside.”

It made sense. I sent Cain back and went to meet Sione to prepare for the task.

She also seemed reluctant about my visit to the shadow realm. However, perhaps understanding the unavoidable circumstances, she didn’t try to stop me.

“Now, with the urgent need for a witness, there’s no choice. If it’s challenging to obtain a confession with magic, using mind control, as Lady Bella suggested, might be the fastest and most accurate method.”

“I agree with that.”

“I’d like to accompany you, but if the group gets too big, it might attract attention. Still, I’d feel a bit relieved if Cain and Raven were together.”

If I went outside the palace, Raven would have to accompany me. Also, since Cain was in charge of directing this investigation instead of me, the three of us meeting again was inevitable.

Although no one wanted to keep the two obviously unfriendly individuals close, it was an unavoidable situation.

On the morning of the day we decided to go to the shadow realm.

I woke up earlier than usual, disguised myself, and got on the carriage used by the servants with Raven. The carriage, usually used to carry groceries, was perfect for moving outside the palace without attracting people’s attention.

Arriving at a small forest in the outskirts, we changed to horses we had prepared in advance.

Raven, who recently learned horseback riding, handled the horse quite well. He cautiously led the horse for me, someone who was riding for the first time.

“Hold on tight, Bella. If you’re scared, let me know. I’ll slow down the speed a bit.”

“Ugh, got it.”

I thought horseback riding was nothing special, but having a completely different height perspective than usual turned out to be more terrifying than I had expected.

Half-closing my eyes and tightly holding onto his cloak, Raven lightly chuckled and stroked my head.

“If you’re brave enough to catch assassins alone, but trembling because of riding a horse. It’s kind of cute, you know.”

“…Don’t make fun of me. I’m not in the mood for those kinds of jokes right now!”

“Sometimes, it’s kind of cute when you get all flustered like that.”

Today, Raven seemed a bit strange.

The usually stoic guy suddenly stroking my head and complimenting me?
After this growth, it did feel like Raven’s attitude toward me had changed a bit, but it wasn’t the time to pay attention to such things now.

Being half-dazed and hanging onto Raven was only temporary.

We arrived at the meeting place with Cain just about ten minutes later.

It was near the beginning of the shadow realm, and it was an area where carriages couldn’t pass easily, so we had to approach on horseback to avoid attracting people’s attention.

As we completely emerged from the dimly lit forest, Cain standing alone under the bright sun caught my eye.

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.
