This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 19
A scoff slipped through Kaius’s lips in the darkness.
Just as he judged that Marquis Beloas had been given enough time to grasp the current situation, the man predictably began to move.
No man would calmly stand by while the woman he fancied was alone in a room with another man—with the lights even extinguished.
He would either storm in immediately or leave the spot altogether.
The latter is what he chose. It must have stemmed from the same line of thought as when he merely watched her from afar before Kaius arrived.
“Good…”
Relieved that a troublesome matter had vanished, Kaius smiled faintly at the corner of his lips and shifted his gaze toward Ariel, who still lay asleep.
Throughout generations, no scandal or rumor had ever been permitted to touch a Duke Elbaltan. Every previous Elbaltan had upheld this standard, and Kaius had lived accordingly as well. The Duchess, too, was bound by this rule—so Ariel had to abide by it as well.
The perfect Elbaltan.
This reputation had endured for over a thousand years since the founding of the Cladeos Empire, becoming as natural as breathing.
Divorce would certainly be a significant blemish, yet it wasn’t entirely unprecedented. Moreover, Kaius was willing to show a measure of leniency—if she fulfilled her duties and responsibilities as Duchess without fail during this year.
Namely, allowing her to remain Duchess instead of divorcing her.
Though a princess divorcing wouldn’t pose a major issue in itself, Retiana’s impoverished state made the situation different. Anyone could easily foresee the torrent of unsavory speculation that would inevitably follow.
Since he had already permitted her to become Ariel von Elbaltan, he intended to protect her if he could. His fingers brushed against her braided hair.
Watching over her as she slept wasn’t unpleasant, but since they’d agreed to draft a contract, it was time to wake her now.

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)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
