At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 21
By now, the marriage between Grand Duke Lusenford and Princess Ostein had become the talk of the town.
The groom was handsome, and the bride was beautiful. The groom had endured many tragic trials, and the bride was the pampered only daughter of a wealthy family and a wealthy heiress.
And on top of that, the groom’s close friend was the queen of high society—and she had quarreled with the bride?
Moreover, it was said that this queen of high society had gone to see the Grand Duke, only to be angrily thrown out moments later?
This was no different from the world’s most thrilling spectacle—miss even a single detail, and you’d be the fool.
Just the Duchess Monde alone would have been entertaining enough, but with Beatrice Lavalle stepping in personally, Krain was in absolute chaos. Everyone was practically dying of curiosity, wondering what would happen next.
Had Duchess Monde apologized to the princess? What had Lady Lavalle and the Grand Duke discussed that made her storm out after only two minutes? What had the princess and the Grand Duke talked about afterward? They were utterly, desperately curious!
Everyone has a bit of a voyeur in them—even the Emperor, whose face was half-ruined because of the Empress, was on the verge of asking. Out of propriety, he couldn’t ask his nephew, who had fainted outright upon hearing the marriage order, so Pheon was the easy target.
The fact that people were turning to him despite this happening within the Imperial Palace suggested that this time, the Emperor’s ‘ears’ hadn’t done their job properly. Pheon had faithfully committed every detail to memory.
“This marriage was arranged by His Majesty, so I must remain faithful to it.”
Pheon spoke calmly, meeting the Emperor’s gaze with eyes that silently asked, “Isn’t that right?”
The Emperor—who had previously invoked the Empress and spouted nonsense about “tainted blood,” betrayal of loyalty, and coveting what belonged to others—had no retort to this.
He simply realized that Beatrice Lavalle was no longer a useful hostage to Pheon. But that didn’t matter; the hostage had now shifted to House Ostein, so the Emperor was indifferent.
“Yes, now that you’re getting married yourself, your mindset must change.”
The Emperor merely nodded, thinking to himself, “So this brat’s changed too now that he’s marrying.” He felt slightly gratified.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
