Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
“Just so you know, I have no special relationship with Princess Elfride. It’s only because my mother and she are close friends that we occasionally meet in private.”
At Klaus’s words, Evangeline’s hazel eyes widened in surprise.
“But isn’t the princess a leading candidate to become your consort?”
“That’s precisely why I’m turning the situation to my advantage—by holding such an unusually intimate tea time with you.”
Klaus replied, though it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Evangeline tilted her head in confusion.
“Hmm… then Lord Muzel’s intention must be to warn both the duke and the princess—not to take the crown prince consort position for granted.”
“Exactly.”
Klaus sighed inwardly. This woman was shrewder than he expected.
Just then, Evangeline suddenly lowered her voice.
“May I ask something cautiously, then?”
“Hm?”
He blushed slightly as he continued.
“If Princess Elfride were to propose linking the wealth tax imposition to accepting her as your consort, would Your Highness willingly agree?”
“…!”
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.”

Aww! Klaus emotional growth is really something, especially compared to Muzel’s. He’s clumsy on the execution but firm on his feelings.
Also, this chapter made me feel like Muzel is really emotionally…stunted? I think that’s it. I can’t remember the last chapter I read where she isn’t riddled with anxiety or churning with emotions.
