The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
“Your Majesty, they are trampling the dignity of the Imperial House into the dust. Will you truly stand by and watch it happen?”
Sandra’s eyes gleamed fiercely as she looked at Jonathan. Jonathan was now the only one she could trust and rely upon.
Though the bond between the brothers could hardly be called deep, they were still brothers—after all, blood is thicker than water. Sandra had convinced herself that Jonathan, with his broad heart, would ultimately embrace Caspian.
Jonathan continued gently patting Sandra’s hand as he spoke.
“There’s nothing we can do, Your Majesty. The other party is the daughter of the Chancellor of the Hisric Kingdom. At the very least, formal procedures must be followed. This time, it won’t be as easy for him to slip away as before. There’s already an abundance of evidence and testimony.”
“…….”
“Now that the trial date has been set, we can’t cancel it. Judges from not only the Hisric Kingdom but from across the continent are already on their way here to observe this trial.”
Sandra already knew all this—the newspapers had covered it extensively.
What Sandra truly wished to hear from Jonathan now wasn’t this widely known information. She longed to hear words that only Jonathan—the Emperor of a vast empire and Caspian’s elder brother—could speak.
Whether or not he understood Sandra’s heart, Jonathan continued speaking with a calm smile on his lips.
“But please don’t worry too much, Your Majesty. Caspian’s punishment will be light. And even that light sentence—I’ll ensure it’s commuted within a year. So….”
“Pun… punishment? Are you saying Caspian will be found guilty? That he’ll be branded a criminal?”
Sandra’s face twisted in anguish, as though she might burst into tears at any moment. She couldn’t let her beloved son be stained with the disgrace of criminality. She would do anything—use every means possible—to prevent that from happening.
Yet hearing the words “he will be punished” from Jonathan, the one person she’d trusted above all, drove Sandra nearly mad with despair. She felt betrayed by him.
As if sensing that reasoning with her would be futile, Jonathan let out a soft sigh and spoke again.
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.”

She paused momentarily, overcome with emotion, then steadied herself with anothe
It must be very hard for her to speak in front of everyone about her assault
Watching their backs as soldiers dragged them away, Veronica thought,
