The Duke Stole Everything (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 121
The noble assembly held at the imperial palace was a grand gathering attended by all nobles of the Newton Empire.
The Emperor sat at the head, flanked on either side by the most influential nobles next to him.
The grand assembly proceeded by proposing major agenda items and dividing into factions for or against them—essentially nothing more than a power struggle between rival groups.
In this noble assembly, where the political alignment between Grand Duke Gwendhill—the Emperor’s right hand—and Marquis Bridend, leader of the noble faction, was most evident, the neutral faction held little significance.
But everything changed with the death of Grand Duke Gwendhill.
“Baron Hubel of the noble faction came to see me. He asked us to side with them during this assembly.”
“I received a secret letter from the Imperial Palace. His Majesty still seems unable to let go of Gwendhill.”
“Sigh… isn’t that precisely the problem? How can His Majesty, once so wise, still cling to such a traitor?”
“Even so, we cannot entirely entrust the disposition of House of Grand Duke Gwendhill to the noble faction during this assembly. If power tilts completely to one side, what will become of the Empire?”
The moment the corpse of the traitor Leodert Gwendhill was discovered, the noble faction moved without hesitation.
They pressured the Emperor to convene the noble assembly and immediately prepared an agenda concerning the disposition of House of Grand Duke Gwendhill.
The vast wealth and fertile lands of House of Grand Duke Gwendhill, which had safeguarded and sustained the Empire for centuries, now stood on the verge of being carved up according to the noble faction’s whims.
“Do you intend to side with His Majesty instead? Do you really think Marquis Bridend would allow that?”
“The Count of Doheimian told me the other day—the price offered by the noble faction is quite substantial.”
“Well then, if we help Marquis Bridend topple House of Grand Duke Gwendhill in this assembly, we’ll surely get a generous share ourselves.”

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.”
