The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 86
Aidel, holding Ophelia’s hand, still wore a dazed expression.
“I never expected the women’s rights expert from Lisandro, whom Prince Rainian mentioned he’d introduce me to, would be none other than Princess Ophelia.”
“Well, it’s not quite that grandiose… I’m simply working together with like-minded individuals within Lisandro to advocate for women’s rights. We’re also preparing for a women’s rights symposium to be held soon.”
Though Ophelia downplayed it, her eyes shone unmistakably with passion. Seeing this, Aidel smiled brightly and nodded gently.
“Now I finally understand why Your Highness tested whether I was truly prepared to set aside noble pretenses and fight.”
Ophelia was a member of the Lisandro imperial family. For someone of such noble standing to personally champion gender equality would certainly not have been easy—even in Lisandro, known for its relatively open culture.
“So that struggle was something you experienced firsthand.”
“Yes. My nickname is ‘the Imperial Foal.’ It came about because, though I often run freely through the palace in dresses, I’ve never properly adhered to what’s considered proper etiquette for noblewomen.”
Ophelia gave a light chuckle as she mentioned her nickname, then candidly shared her thoughts with Aidel.
“From childhood, the etiquette I was taught was full of things I couldn’t comprehend—like why a woman shouldn’t run in a dress. Starting from such trivialities, I questioned every ‘because you’re a woman’ justification and fought back as if in rebellion.”
Though their reasons and methods differed, it seemed Ophelia, too, had lived her life fighting since childhood. Realizing this, Aidel felt her fondness for Ophelia deepen and her heart open completely.
‘So that’s how she felt back then…’
Now Aidel finally understood why Ophelia’s gaze had changed when she’d shared stories of her own childhood.
Between their eyes, which now resonated through mutual understanding, a firm bond had already formed.
“What you’re about to do will likely be even more arduous than what I’ve faced. Even in relatively tolerant Lisandro, advocating for women’s rights isn’t easy.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
