Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 265
Klein’s eyes welled with tears.
“Your Majesty, if I go right now and sever Duke Daga’s head, would you be able to protect me?”
“No. If that were possible, I’d have done it myself.”
Even a great power couldn’t afford to disregard lesser nations. Unless one truly aimed for world domination, one had to maintain appearances.
Moreover, Carissen wasn’t even a weak nation. If La Til were to chop off Duke Daga’s head right here, people wouldn’t believe “Emperor Latrasil stepped forward for Emperor Hyacinth”—instead, they’d say Tarium had murdered both Empress Carissen and the Duke.
Things might have been different if Empress Aini, Duke Daga’s own daughter, stepped in to defend her. But would any child truly side with the person who killed their own father?
Though there were indeed cases where parents and children became sworn enemies, as far as La Til knew, Empress Aini and Duke Daga didn’t share such a relationship.
Then the people of Carissen would rally together in protest, nations friendly with Carissen would take their side, and countries sensing danger—”If Tarium attacked Carissen, they’ll attack us next”—would join them as well. It wouldn’t end well.
La Til hurried down the stairs and, walking through the corridor, gave orders to the guards.
“Gather all the envoys and have them assemble in my chamber.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Several guards peeled off and scattered.
Only when La Til reached the door to their room did they spot the utterly useless Ranamun and Sarnet. Both had just stepped out, their faces still startled.
Their expressions were clearly shocked—one cold, the other stiff—but why did they both look so foolish today of all days?
La Til sighed, pointed at them alternately with a finger, then barely managed to suppress their anger with the thought, “It’s not their fault.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
