How to Divorce a Obsessive Emperor Safely (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 46
Unlike the Duke, who kept widening his eyes in shock, Lasilia remained calm.
“I hope the punishment ends with my deposition. I’d like to avoid losing my head.”
“That… …no, that won’t happen. It simply won’t! Your name is Pielion! No one but the Emperor himself could ever take your head!”
“Then I’m relieved. May I confirm a verdict in advance with the judges, on the condition that I admit guilt?”
“Well, it’s possible, but… …no, you can’t.”
The Duke gripped Lasilia’s shoulder abruptly.
“Karti, my lovely daughter. Deposition is out of the question.”
His fingers digging into her shoulder left a dull ache behind.
The Duke was that desperate.
“There is no other way, Your Grace.”
“No, there must be. I’ll postpone the trial. Something will come up in the meantime. I’ll even build a new temple if I must—anything to smooth this over. Deposition is unacceptable.”
“…We won’t be able to keep deceiving His Majesty forever.”
“Why not!”
Duke Pielion’s voice grew agitated.
“The magic was flawless. The sorcerers confirmed it multiple times! If the spell had been flawed, there would’ve been backlash. Yet both you and the sorcerers are unharmed. The mark will return. …Wait, have you actually checked the mark?”
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.”
Still doubting our lasillia is a fake mate….Grisella got what she desserves..
