To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
The chief investigator furrowed his brow at the sudden mention of the second daughter.
“The second young lady?”
“Yes. I don’t know if you’ve heard this already… Sigh. Our second daughter harbors a great deal of resentment toward the family. Had she remained in Dongryeong, she would have lived as the Princess of Dongryeong, but because I brought her here, she became merely a noble daughter—no wonder she’s discontent. That’s probably why she keeps trying to tarnish our family’s reputation…”
Rachel spoke, her eyes reddened to the point of tears, and the chief investigator closed his mouth awkwardly.
“I’m terribly sorry. Perhaps this whole incident simply arose because our second daughter heard rumors about that man, grew curious, and decided to meet him briefly—nothing more. I’ll discipline her properly, so regarding today’s matter… No, no—I shouldn’t even be making such a request.”
Rachel pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and dabbed at her eyes.
Just then, Countess Ketirean spoke up.
“But that’s odd.”
Countess Ketirean casually voiced the very thought the other noble ladies of Seoryeong had hesitated to utter, wary of Rachel’s reaction.
“Didn’t we just encounter this household’s youngest daughter nearby a moment ago?”
Rachel’s heart sank with a thud.
The very Countess Ketirean whom Rachel had summoned to witness Ariana’s incident and spread rumors in the imperial capital had instead ensnared Rachel herself.
Rachel glanced sideways, but Countess Ketirean was looking directly at the chief investigator.
“May I ask who you are…?”
“I am the wife of Count Ketirean from the Empire.”
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.
I finally found the chapter corresponding to chapter 42 of the manhwa!
Here’s a mother who refutes the “instinctive motherhood” notion.
