Then she spoke with a determined tone.
“I’ll take responsibility for the antidote, so please find evidence that the poison was used.”
“Yes.”
Adenmir suddenly felt something strange about this situation.
Elodie, who was merely a means to borrow Duke Ferdia’s name, was now helping him.
“It’s poison!”
Why that moment had to come up at this time was beyond him.
The moment he realized the smoke was poison, Elodie, not himself, was protecting Adenmir without hesitation.
The selfish Elodie he knew was no longer there.
Somehow feeling a heat rising in his throat, Adenmir walked on in silence.
As they were not far from the entrance, Elodie called out to him.
“But Your Highness, have you not spoken to your father about the divorce?”
“Not yet.”
“Shall I speak?”
“……Do as you see fit.”
“Then I will speak.”
“…….”
“Then go on in. I’ll get in touch.”
Elodie, leaving Adenmir without a response, moved with light footsteps.
Having been scolded once before, it was scary to be the first to speak, but this time she had a reason.
‘The Emperor agreed, the First Prince agreed, so Duke Ferdia won’t matter either.’
Walking happily to where Reian was waiting, TamYok spoke a word.
[Doesn’t he not want to divorce?]‘No, he doesn’t.’
Elodie firmly replied.
He probably wants to divorce more than I do. Because he thinks I’m selfish, stupid, and annoying.
That was also described in the original.
It’s just that now he’s hesitant to break the engagement because of Ferdia’s usefulness.
‘If Estelle appears now, he’ll divorce right away, right?’
Thinking so, Elodie shrugged her shoulders and laughed quietly.
“What’s the point of saying that. It’s obvious.”
(This is a time separator.)
“Then go on in. I’ll get in touch.”
Elodie, who had bid me farewell, turned and walked away without regret.
Adenmir quietly watched her receding figure.
Soon, he saw Elodie, who had been waiting in front of the castle, meet the mercenary Ian and smile brightly.
‘He’s laughing well.’
Of course, she doesn’t not laugh in front of him, but the feeling was different.
If the smile in front of me felt like a wall, there was no hesitation in smiling at him [dash].
Adenmir, who had been thinking, wiped his face with one hand and mocked himself.
“I’m also thinking something strange…….”
According to Elodie’s words, it was a relationship that would soon divorce. As the time approached, he had more thoughts.
But he had something more important than that.
Adenmir turned back and entered the castle.
Now was the time to do what had to be done.
(This is a time separator.)
If a fox suddenly appears in the room, there might be suspicion, so I summoned Greed earlier and held it in my arms.
Greed, who had been in the seal stone while in the Imperial City, looked happy to be summoned.
[I feel alive now. Outside is indeed better.]“Don’t cause trouble if you want to stay outside.”
[What are you talking about? I’ve never had an accident.]Looking sideways at Greed, who was lying shamelessly with a cute face, I entered the annex.
Then, as if waiting for me, the maid approached in a hurry.
“Miss. The lady is waiting for you. Please go to the reception room.”
“What? The, the, the, the lady?”
Startled and stammering, the maid answered with a chuckle.
“Yes. The, the, the, the lady.”
“…….”
“Come on, quickly. The lady says she’s been waiting a long time.”
I headed to the reception room, leaving behind the maid who was sincerely teasing me today as well.
As I entered, Duchess Ferdia, sipping her tea, greeted me with an elegant smile. It was as if she, not I, was the hostess of the guesthouse.
“Come quickly. Did you meet the Emperor well?”
“Yes. What’s the matter?”
“It’s not always about business. I just stopped by because I was wondering how you’re doing. But, Elodie?”
Suddenly, when the Duchess called my name, I tensed up.
“You don’t look well. You haven’t been doing anything without me knowing, have you?”
Embarrassed.
I hid my pricked conscience and sat across, smiling naturally.
“I guess I haven’t been sleeping well lately.”
I must not be found out. The fact that I had joyfully taken poison in the Emperor’s bedroom.
Whether my desperation worked or not, fortunately, the Duchess’s attention shifted elsewhere.
“What about that fox?”
“I felt sorry for it lying there, so I brought it with me. Its name is Black.”
I quickly set down my greed on the floor.
Having spent a few days with greed, both greed and I had come to understand each other better. I spat out just one word to greed in my mind.
‘Reian.’
It was a name that contained many meanings.
At that word, greed shivered and began to actively pretend to be a fox.
“Kkiyong!”
Greed used its cuteness to the fullest, rubbing its head against the Duchess’s leg.
The Duchess, reaching out her hand, withdrew just before her fingertips touched greed’s head.
“It must shed a lot of fur.”
“Not as much as you think.”
“Take good care of it. You have to be responsible for it now that you’ve brought it along.”
Unexpectedly entrusted, I was slightly surprised. I didn’t think she would care whether I brought a pet or not.
“Yes. I’ll take good care of it.”
I was answering when, right then, someone knocked on the reception room door.
Knock, knock.
“Miss. His Majesty is calling for you.”
As the voice of the mansion’s butler came from beyond the door, the Duchess snickered.
“It seems your father doesn’t even give you time for a private conversation.”
It seemed he had called me to hear the report since I had met the Emperor.
“We’ve seen each other’s faces now. Let’s go back to the main mansion.”
“Ah, yes.”
I followed the Duchess out of the reception room, frowning.
‘Was seeing my face really his purpose?’
Why? It was something that gave him no advantage.
It was just puzzling.
(This is a time delimiter.)
Duke Ferdia got straight to the point as soon as he entered his office.
“What did the Emperor say to you?”
“That[Dash].”
Without even having a chance to sit down, I poured out everything I had discussed with the Emperor under the Duke’s piercing gaze.
The Ishtar Temple that wants to promote me as a savior, and the Emperor. And the monsters of different forms that were said to be occurring everywhere, believed to be backed by the Irkalla cult.
Of course, I left out that the Emperor was bedridden because of poison.
The Duke, having heard my entire story, wore a faint smile of satisfaction.
“Well done. The temple scoundrels may look justified, but they intend to use you.”
“I thought so.”
“Keep handling them that way.”
“Yes.”
Incidentally, the documents on the Duke’s desk were about the Irkalla cult.
It seemed the rumor that they had been rampant lately was true.
As the business ended, the Duke closed his mouth as he always did. But I still had something else to take care of.
I took a step closer and opened my mouth.
“Father. There’s something I want to tell you.”
“Go ahead. Speak.”
Tension caused her hands to tremble slightly. Clenching her fists tightly to suppress the shaking, she slowly brought out the question.
“Do you think it would be difficult if I tell you now that I want to divorce?”
She had no choice but to ask cautiously. When she was frozen, fearing that the Duke might answer that it would be difficult at once, the answer came back.
“Don’t you like Prince Adenmir, Elodie?”
Just in case someone might not think him rich, Duke Ferdia asked the same question Yanxi had asked not long ago.
“Not anymore.”
“I thought you couldn’t control your temper and asked for a divorce in anger.”
It seemed she knew what kind of character the Duke thought she was.
“I have no feelings for His Highness.”
She quietly waited for the Duke’s decision. Hopefully, he would allow the divorce this time.
Eventually, the Duke looked at her straight and parted his lips.
“Divorce.”
“……!”
Finally.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”
※※※
When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
