The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49
The early afternoon sunlight slanted through the gaps between the classroom windows. In one of the lecture halls at the Imperial University, Professor Nichen was in the middle of delivering his introductory lecture on public administration.
Unlike Aidel, who sat upright and focused intently on the lecture, someone seated diagonally across from her was lost in daydreams, unable to concentrate as they gazed at her.
Just then, Nichen called out the name of the student who wasn’t paying attention.
“Prince Rainian.”
“…Ah, yes. Professor Nichen.”
“As I mentioned earlier, collaboration is crucial for this assignment. You must identify shared issues with your assigned partner while logically articulating your differing perspectives.”
Assignment…? Rainian, who had been fully preoccupied with thoughts elsewhere, hadn’t properly heard Nichen’s instructions.
Judging by the context, it seemed like a collaborative assignment had been given—but he didn’t even know who his assigned partner was.
Just as Rainian, slightly flustered, was about to ask Nichen to repeat the partner’s name, a clear and calm feminine voice spoke up.
“Understood. I will complete the assignment well with Prince Rainian.”
Rainian was stunned speechless by Aidel answering on his behalf. Their eyes met as Aidel turned her head toward him.
To Rainian’s dazed expression, Aidel gave a subtle blink—almost a knowing glance—before turning away again. She must have stepped in because she noticed he hadn’t caught the professor’s words and was hesitating.
Rainian quickly pressed his hand against his burning cheeks, feeling his heartbeat race far more fiercely than usual.
Partly from embarrassment at being caught so deeply absorbed in thoughts of her, partly from excitement at the prospect of working on the assignment together, and partly from being moved by her thoughtful gesture of speaking up for him.
He lowered the hand that had covered his cheeks and gently pressed it to his lips instead. He couldn’t bear to let her see how foolishly and helplessly he might be grinning with his flushed face.

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.

- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
