I transmigrated into one of those common mass-market fantasy romance novels.
Into the role of a trashy side character who betrays her boss.
I swore I wouldn’t do such a thing, but the problem was… it had already happened.
The cruel sub male lead who kills his brothers and becomes emperor to claim the heroine would never spare a traitor.
Since it’s come to this, I might as well run away quickly and cleanly.
“I already have someone I’m promised to. I plan to go down to the countryside and live quietly with him.”
He doesn’t know about the betrayal yet. If I slip away discreetly, I should be fine…
“A man? That alone is absurd, and now you say you’ll bear his spawn?”
“…What?”
“Or is it that the disgusting brat is already inside your belly? I don’t like killing children, but the parasite squirming in you is unbearable. Stay still. I’ll kill it in one blow.”
“N-no! Not yet! I haven’t gotten pregnant yet!”
So flustered, Adne covered her lower belly and stumbled back in a hurry.
But her boss was already grinning in cruel madness.
“Then what, has he suckled your breasts? Did he hungrily drink from the plump chest I fed and raised? Or did he drench your thighs with his seed? Adne, since when did you start taking men into your body?”
“I… I haven’t had my chest suckled yet!”
Unable to lie, she confessed the truth.
Only then did her superior calm his fury and smile sweetly.
A smile so soft it seemed ready to melt like spun sugar, and for an instant, the lock on her heart came undone.
“Is that so? So you’ve yet to taste a man’s seed in your womb?”
“Y-yes…”
“Good. But if ever you come back with another man’s filth inside you, the life I saved will be mine to take back.”
“……”
And so, my resignation was rejected.
With a storm of lewd obscenities thrown in.
I’m not even the heroine, so why is this happening to me?

Perhaps because of his striking beauty and tragic past, the citizens adore him deeply. He always seems to carry both laziness and ennui, like a cat swaying its tail in boredom. Yet his smooth, pale skin and flawless looks leave many entranced. Ever since the trauma of being the first to discover his mother hanged herself on a rainy day, he suffers bouts of madness whenever it rains. Lately, his main concern is: the puppy he picked up on the battlefield seems too interested in mating, leaving him in a foul mood.

Overall, her looks are plain, with black hair and black eyes, but her water-like translucent skin stirs men’s desires without her realizing it.
* Recommended When: You want to see a bad-tempered prince darkly obsessed with the heroine’s mating while she fails to notice his feelings.
* Memorable Quote:
‘…But you’re mine, aren’t you?’
It was me who saved you when you were about to die on the battlefield.
It was me who took you in when you had nowhere to go, and gave you the chance to live like a human.
It was me who made you who you are now.
So why did you try to secretly meet with my brother?
What were you planning to talk about with him?
“Fine. I’ll just kill you.”
But not yet……
Not yet.
Until I properly make you understand just how much it hurt me when you accepted another man’s treat, I can’t kill you.
