Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 96
At the chief steward’s words, the three people rose from their seats simultaneously. After waiting a little longer, the king finally entered the room.
“…….”
Jacqueline unconsciously straightened her back.
Theodore Grant.
She had often seen his face in illustrated newspapers—usually delivering a state address, opening a festival, or appearing as the host of a charity gala.
In those images, Theodore had always seemed a kind and benevolent king, with silver-streaked hair, a full beard, and a faint, ever-present smile.
And in this very moment, Jacqueline realized that those illustrations had been heavily polished. The king standing before her in person radiated an aura far sterner and sharper than she had anticipated.
He entered the room and stood before his chair, adjusting his posture—deliberately avoiding eye contact with Windsor.
Windsor patiently waited for the king to greet him first. Thanks to his practice with Jacqueline, this wasn’t too difficult.
“Pleased to see you, Lord Preston.”
At last, the king turned his gaze toward him. Windsor bowed with flawless courtesy.
“I am honored to be in Your Majesty’s presence.”
The king stared intently at him. Jacqueline noticed that look—it was meant to find fault.
She held her breath, her expression slightly tense, her mouth suddenly dry. Ultimately, the king failed to find what he sought and turned his head to the side.
“Pleased to see you, Benjamin Preston.”
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.”
