One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 097
97. Bollonico’s Doll
2024.01.05.
Yuan Pelliese’s daily routine had become extremely busy lately.
From morning, she would meet with Noel Euphris and help him practice speaking, in return receiving books or newspapers which she would read.
She slightly postponed formally inquiring about the Drietter Grand Duke family, the Selentina Ducal family, and the Marquis Companni family.
Although their relationship had progressed significantly, Noel had not completely dropped his suspicion or guard toward Yuan, so she had to be satisfied with asking just a little bit whenever she had the chance.
Among the materials Noel provided, what Yuan mainly read concerned who passionately followed the Emperor and Bollonico, aside from the three families mentioned above.
Those who followed the Emperor were families who had valued military power since his days as a Grand Duke.
This was information she already knew, but the peculiar point was that the actual warriors who could be called founding heroes of the empire had all died off, leaving only their sons barely maintaining their lineage.
Among those who now followed the Emperor, the few with real seniority were retainers rooted in the northern regions.
These were men who had assisted the Emperor during his Grand Duke days in monster extermination campaigns, possessing considerable military strength, and who had participated alongside Igor in crushing the “rebel army” when he ascended the throne.
Thus, although not ancient noble houses, they had received honors as meritorious subjects and moved from the north to the capital, now living comfortably and proudly.
Yuan began carefully identifying the people threatening Clade Euphris.
The truth she had heard was that the current Emperor had once attempted to kill Clade Euphris in order to seize the throne.
However, the commonly known version was that after the previous Emperor’s death, rebel forces gathered across the empire, marched into the capital Cielo, seized the palace, and even attacked the “Red Brick Mansion” where Clade resided.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

The more her trembling eyes scrutinized his face, the more her heart sank.
It’s hard to believe that they still can’t talk to each other sincerely…
“Did you know your heart is weak?”
Urgh, it’s so annoying that he started to believe her only now…
Fail.
Don’t fail then ?? 😭 Gosh I need to read something less stressing
