‘Ugh, what’s going on!’
That’s when I was tearing my hair out in confusion.
Suddenly, the boy who had kneeled took my hand and lightly kissed the back of it.
“So, please don’t forget me, Master. Or should I say, Princess, now?”
“What?”
I looked down at the brightly smiling boy in disbelief.
And at that moment, I understood everything.
This beautiful, cunning boy hadn’t been caught by mind control from the very beginning.
“You, you…… you scammer! I know everything! That’s too much!”
Redfaced, I punched the boy’s shoulder.
But how much could my soft fists hurt?
He seemed very solid, so my fists just ended up hurting more.
“I’m sorry. I inadvertently deceived you.”
“You should have told me from the beginning!”
“I’m reflecting on it, so please calm down.”
I couldn’t sense any remorse from the boy, who was chuckling.
Unlike my confusion, the boy seemed to enjoy the situation quite a bit.
‘What on earth is this guy, who is he?’
No, in fact, there is a bigger problem than that.
If the rumor that I secretly escaped from Rose Palace spreads, it could turn into a troublesome incident.
If it’s found out that I disobeyed the lord’s command, it won’t end with just a reflection letter.
‘But it doesn’t seem like he helped me with that intention.’
Considering he cast an invisibility spell for me, and covered it up with the soldiers by calling me a distant relative, it didn’t seem like he would carelessly blab the truth to others.
“You… Will you tell anyone you saw me?”
“No. It doesn’t seem like it would be good to do so.”
“Then make a pinky promise with me!”
I extended my little finger toward the boy.
People’s words are, after all, not to be trusted.
Even though I can’t prepare the documents, I feel like I need to do this much to be reassured.
“Haha, this is a cute way.”
“Be quick. Do it now.”
As our little fingers hooked and thumbs pressed firmly, the boy gently laughed.
Not liking his look, I puffed my cheeks and asked discontentedly.
“Hey, what exactly are you? You don’t seem to be just a kid.”
“What do you think, Princess? How do I appear to you?”
The completely immature guy skillfully avoiding the question really amazed me.
“Hurry up. Stop talking.”
As I gave up and shook my head, the boy rose, smiling playfully.
“You should be fine with your ankle now. You can go back on your own, right?”
I looked down at my ankle, which had healed cleanly as if it was never hurt, and chuckled to myself.
The reason he even knelt and kissed my hand was apparently to secretly cast a healing spell.
‘He could have healed me earlier, but he waited on purpose…?’
Not only that, but my previously dirty clothes and shoes were now as clean as if they had been washed.
Clearly, he had hidden his strength, thinking that I might just say I would go back alone once my leg was healed and I was cleaned up.
‘Wow, this kid is totally crazy.’
I thought he was a pushover because he walked around with a pretty face, smiling.
He seems fine on the outside, but he’s completely sinister inside.
“It’s already this late. I should go back now.”
“You, I’m sorry about earlier! I’ll repay the favor!”
“You can forget such a trivial kindness, lovely princess.”
The boy smiled softly and then formally introduced himself.
“My name is Cain. We part like this today, but I hope to meet again soon.”
“We won’t meet again!”
“Really? I wonder about that.”
Leaving those meaningful words behind, the boy disappeared at a speed that couldn’t even be compared to when he arrived.
It was in the blink of an eye.
“Really, what a strange person….”
Anyway, it was a really strange afternoon.
Holding the bouquet I’d picked for Sione, I stuck out my tongue at the spot where Cain had disappeared and turned away.
I decided to bury everything that happened today in my memory.
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.
