The Ex-Husband Demands Reunion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 74
“Then let us carefully review the terms, sign the contract in a week, and meet at the King’s birthday celebration party a week after that to share a glass of champagne, shall we?”
The Duke of Ondera said he wanted to show Diesu Boutique’s scented candles to even more nobles.
It was a good idea, yet it made me slightly uneasy.
“His Majesty the King probably doesn’t favor me.”
“Do you think you’ll be the only one His Majesty dislikes that day? Given His Majesty’s age, he usually appears only briefly before retiring.”
Now that I thought about it, he was right. The faction trying to rein in Marlboro would concern the King far more than a mere divorcée.
“That sounds like a good idea.”
He added that I must wear the gift he gave me to the event, calling it his pièce de résistance for that day.
“Though it’s His Majesty’s birthday, I’m certain you, my lady, will be the center of social attention.”
I nodded at the mention of his special gift.
The Duke had every reason to be confident—the gift he presented was an extravagantly dazzling diamond necklace.
Resting delicately atop crimson satin, the necklace sparkled brilliantly with countless diamonds, enough to leave anyone momentarily spellbound.
To offer such an expensive item regardless of the contract…
Honestly, I felt like I’d hit the jackpot, but I had to struggle inwardly to keep my expression neutral.
Moreover, the Duke’s proposal exceeded all expectations.
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.
