Nelia’s face was flushed as she urgently climbed into the carriage after running out of Duke Hart’s mansion.
“Oh, I thought my heart was going to drop.”
She was first startled by his figure approaching her so closely, and she was doubly startled by his sudden reaching out.
She couldn’t help but hesitate due to his cruel acts deeply ingrained in her unconsciousness.
And above all else…
“If the Duke comes close, it feels cold.”
It was the same earlier. She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but not just her hands and feet, but her whole body felt cooler.
Was he a person born with a low body temperature? Or… could it be Raynaud’s disease?
She heard that you get it if you have poor blood circulation.
“…No. That’s not the important issue right now.”
Nelia erased the Duke’s Raynaud’s disease from her mind.
The most important thing right now was that the day had ended safely.
The fact that she had taken the first step successfully was of great significance.
“I need to get home quickly and eat dinner.”
Nelia, who had somehow forgotten about the Duke, had a pleasant smile on her lips.
However, that pleasant smile soon disappeared.
It was because of the person she saw as soon as she arrived home and opened the door.
My suspicions were correct. It didn’t take long for Layton to return from the monastery.
He should have stayed for a few years if he was sent…
Nelia thought that the lenient attitude of her parents was producing guys like Layton.
“Nelia, you.”
Layton, who had discovered Nelia, pretended to know first.
“Are you back already?”
“Already? Do you know how much I suffered there! Did you tell our parents about the necklace incident?”
Layton shouted angrily.
“Of course, I should. And you’re lucky that the punishment was only that.”
If it was another household, they might have broken his legs.
When Nelia shrugged her shoulders as if she did nothing wrong, Layton glared menacingly.
Then, he said, ‘Ah, never mind.’ and waved his hand dismissively.
Nelia thought it was unexpected. She expected him to jump like an angry puppy.
Anyway, such a guy should go to the military to get disciplined, but unfortunately, there was no conscription system in the Adrian Empire.
“More importantly, you, you said you got a job as a maid for Duke Hart?”
“Yeah, it somehow happened.”
Layton clicked his tongue.
“Duke Hart must have been pretty desperate. To have someone like you seated as a maid.”
She somewhat agreed that Duke Hart must have been pretty desperate, but his later words were highly annoying.
“If the Duke wanted to find a maid, there would be a line wrapping around the monastery.”
“Shut up, I’m not doing it because I want to.”
Nelia answered annoyingly. Layton stared at Nelia, his chin propped up.
“Did he really fall for you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
The Duke had shown unwarranted kindness to her, but it was ridiculous to say that he had fallen for her.
At Nelia’s disgusted reaction, Layton shrugged his shoulders.
“Well… I heard rumors that he’s gay, so I guess he didn’t fall for you.”
The rumor about Duke Hart being gay was mentioned again.
Even their parents had talked about it on their way back from the party.
She knew it wasn’t true because in the original work, Duke Hart liked the female protagonist, but hearing it twice was quite bothersome.
“Duke Hart is gay?”
“People were talking about it behind his back.”
Nelia fell into thought for a moment.
Duke Hart hadn’t met the female protagonist yet, but he was going to fall in love with her as soon as he met her.
But why did this rumor keep circulating…
“Is it true?”
Considering that he could possibly be homosexual……
As Nelia was having a profound thought about the Duke’s preference, Layton’s voice could be heard.
“Anyway, that’s not important. I have a favor to ask you.”
“……What is it.”
Nelia’s brow furrowed.
This Layton bastard. As expected, he glossed over the matter mentioned earlier because he had a favor to ask.
“No…… The incident with the Crown Prince that day still bothers me.”
Nelia knew that ‘that day’ was the day of the recent party.
“So?”
“Please ask the Duke once. How the necklace that was broken that day was restored…… and whether my name has come up from the Crown Prince’s mouth afterwards.”
It seems that sending him to the monastery wasn’t an entirely fruitless effort. He is worrying about such things, albeit belatedly.
Nevertheless, Nelia was in deep thought.
Layton’s favor wasn’t a difficult one, but it was an awkward matter.
She had already stepped on the black villain’s toes and was being wary of his mood, and now she had to ask such an uncomfortable question.
“What will you do for me if I ask.”
“……I’ll buy you a strawberry tart from Pasu Bakery.”
Nelia let out a snort.
“That’s fine. I don’t need to queue there anymore.”
“What……? How?!”
Layton asked, startled. Nelia just shrugged her shoulders.
“Something like employee benefits.”
As Nelia, who had declined the favor, was about to go to her room, Layton held her back.
“Wait, what about my favor!”

“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.]
