The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 048
A large, windowless secret chamber was filled to the brim with various rare taxidermied specimens.
The silver-furred deer, said to be extremely rare, hung limply on the dark wall, while tiny fairies captured from the enchanted forest were stored in glass jars on a white table, sorted by color.
“Hm, hm, hm~”
Arthur, the master of this secret chamber, hummed a little tune to himself from his private workshop tucked in a corner.
His platinum hair shimmered in the light of the lantern hanging on the wall.
A butterfly with undulating blue patterns across its body flapped its wings desperately in his hand, struggling to survive.
“I’ll let you live—even if it’s inside a taxidermy frame. I’m generous, after all.”
Arthur chuckled and dropped the living butterfly into a square taxidermy case.
The butterfly, flapping its wings vigorously at first, seemed to realize it was trapped and soon slumped lifelessly.
“Giving up already? Hey, try harder!”
Arthur tapped the case with his finger, clearly displeased.
After a few weak flutters, the butterfly finally refused to emit light from its body altogether.
Tsking in disappointment, Arthur shoved the case into the trash bin.
“Why do beautiful things never last? Is there truly no way to preserve living beings—fresh and alive—forever?”
At Arthur’s murmuring, a middle-aged butler wearing a monocle, silently observing from the corner, announced the current time.
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 is such a refreshing character. I like her audacity.
Chapter 74 is missing.
I feel like I missed important information. Was it the cathedral or hall of ministers that burned or both?
Did Arthur take over the parrot’s body so he could always be close to Celia? Maybe as a type of fail safe if Dietrich killed him?
