The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
The gunshot ringing out at close range instantly muffled my ears. Thick, hazy gunpowder smoke rapidly filled the room, stinging my nostrils.
“What’s going on!”
Those who had been standing guard outside rushed toward the door upon hearing the sudden gunshot. Although they had a rough idea of what the Second Prince was doing inside, they hesitated to open the door outright.
“Your Highness, Second Prince! Are you all right?”
“……I’m fine! Everyone, retreat!”
“Yes, understood.”
Hearing the Second Prince’s rough voice from inside, his subordinates returned to their posts. Once their footsteps faded into the distance, the Second Prince gently brushed his numb cheek with his hand.
“Ugh……!”
The spot where the bullet had grazed burned as if scorched by fire. Glaring furiously at the one who’d fired the shot, he seethed.
“You actually dared… to shoot me…!”
As if all strength had drained the moment she pulled the trigger, Aidel leaned weakly against the headboard of the bed, eyes closed, breathing in quick, shallow gasps. Her arms hung limply at her sides, seemingly too exhausted to lift the gun again.
“I tried not to be rough, yet you insist on provoking me…!”
The Second Prince snatched the pistol barely held in the Grand Duchess’s hand and flung it toward the door as if discarding trash. He then approached the Grand Duchess, whose eyes could barely stay open, and struck her cheek sharply.
“Snap out of it! This is only the beginning—how can you afford to lose consciousness now? You must feel every exquisite torment of pleasure and pain…!”
His eyes widened, revealing the whites as he gripped Aidel’s shoulders and shook her violently. Climbing atop her, he pressed his knee down hard on her thigh, worsening the bleeding.
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.”
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.
