The Dark Lord Obsesses Over His Fake Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 74
The guests were struck speechless by the groom’s shocking announcement. But Hessen, as if having anticipated such a reaction, calmly continued.
“Miryu Juty is indeed registered as a daughter of the Juty baronial house, but she is not the child of the noble Lady Baroness Juty—she is the daughter of a courtesan. Since this marriage was pursued from the very beginning under false pretenses regarding her birth, this wedding must not proceed.”
In the Empire, it was not an issue to register an illegitimate child into a noble house. However, deceiving others by passing off an illegitimate child as one’s trueborn offspring for marriage was a grave crime.
“Perhaps… I might have known this truth all along. But…”
Hessen tightly shut his eyes, overwhelmed with despair.
“I can no longer turn a blind eye. I am sorry.”
Queen Isabella pressed a hand to her head, looking pale and dizzy, and Princess Diana quickly supported her, crying, “Mother!”
Baron Juty trembled uncontrollably, unable even to offer an excuse in the face of this sudden turn of events. The guests’ eyes turned toward Miryu, the illegitimate daughter standing beside the groom.
‘Hessen… he knew I was illegitimate?’
Miryu, pale as a sheet, denied reality.
‘Since when…?’
The horrifying truth mingled with her cherished memories of Hessen. He had always been a kind man—that was precisely why Miryu found this situation so impossible to believe.
Because it was Hessen—no one else.
“H-Hessen. That’s all a lie.”
Miryu grabbed Hessen’s sleeve desperately, pleading incoherently.
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.
“Even”? Beasts are far more likely to rage at threats to their young than humans are or we wouldn’t innumerable instances of child neglect/abuse.
Dang, dude. Way to lose trust from your loving wife!
I was hoping they’d have her working as a scullion or some such.
