I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
“What if Princess Biela is identified as the mastermind?”
“She might avoid execution, but her fate would be quite miserable. They’ll exile her to the most dangerous region on the border, stripped of everything.”
“What about that boy?”
“If it’s proven he was merely the executor, he might avoid execution—but he’ll be imprisoned for life.”
Logically, abandoning the boy was the right choice.
Yet, unlike her mind, Ermedilin’s heart couldn’t bring itself to decide so easily.
“Are you hesitating? Your father is now nothing more than a duke in name only. In this situation, do you truly wish to sever all ties with House Ilenian?”
“Don’t they already hate me enough to want me dead?”
“That was before they found a weakness. Procuring illegal reagents and attempting to assassinate the Empress directly are crimes of vastly different severity, are they not?”
Though seeming to leave the choice to her, Henri was subtly pressuring Ermedilin to side with Duke Ilenian.
If she chose the duke as Henri wished, she could demand anything from him and even form an alliance with Henri himself.
Ferdant would also continue to receive proper care as he did now.
‘Sigh. What do you even expect me to do?’
The next morning, Ermedilin summoned Pelio to the palace.
“Are you in your right mind?”
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.”
Wait what the hell. I lowkey hate henri but i feel bad for her to have to suffer with a loser like him omgn
