The Villainess Doesn't Want Love (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 49
“Has the Duchess still not returned?”
Jeremiah asked Ron.
“No, there’s been no report of her return yet.”
Ron replied in an apologetic tone.
This was already the third time Jeremiah had asked the same question since learning Karina had gone out.
The Duke’s household had been in chaos, scrambling to receive an unexpected visit from the Imperial Palace.
As a result, they only realized later that the Duchess had left the estate in the meantime.
The letter supposedly from the Imperial Palace turned out—once opened—to contain nothing of significance.
It merely instructed them that this year’s New Year Festival would be especially important, so they should come to the capital early and prepare diligently.
“To send someone all the way to the North just to say that? It seems the Imperial Palace has so much idle manpower and resources to spare.”
Jeremiah grumbled discontentedly.
Given how overloaded Jeremiah was with duties in the Duke’s office, such frustration was entirely understandable.
The investigation into Young Master Gennon’s case was separate from his regular administrative workload.
New tasks didn’t replace old ones—they merely piled on top.
Naturally, Ron’s workload had increased just as much.

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.
