The Monster Knight Wants Maternity Leave (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
The child hadn’t been taken by anyone.
After all, she’d been standing at a distance so close that Lucia couldn’t possibly have missed even the slightest sound.
Then why had the child vanished on her own?
Before she could even ponder the question, Lucia quickly scanned her surroundings, sweat beading on her brow for the first time in ages.
As a knight of the capital, she knew the city’s layout perfectly—getting lost wasn’t an issue—but thoroughly searching the labyrinthine alleys alone was simply too much to handle.
‘This is insane.’
How desperately must that slow-walking child have run to disappear in the blink of an eye…?
Any parent who’d ever lost sight of their child, even for a moment, would understand just how fast that “blink of an eye” truly was.
Even the legendary master Lucia was no different in that regard.
Only her method of response might differ.
-Thud thud thud. Squeak.
She grabbed the puff perched on her shoulder and tore it off as easily as ripping paper.
Then, picking up a sharp stone, she sliced her exposed forearm without hesitation.
The cut wasn’t deep, but it covered a wide area, and the smeared blood eventually dripped onto the tip of her shoe.
Lucia closed her eyes and began counting.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
they’re so cute i’m gonna cry 😭😭 i adore them sm
