The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 057
“Your Majesty! I offer you my sincerest congratulations!”
Immediately after the coronation, Marquis Tailo, the head of the high officials, bowed deeply before Ileon Gredrick.
“I always knew this day would come.”
Ileon looked down at the marquis’s nearly bald head and asked,
“What is the current sentiment among the people?”
“The coronation of Your Majesty has turned the entire nation into a festival. The death of the royal family is as if it never mattered to them.”
Everything was unfolding exactly as Ileon had anticipated.
Holding the coronation the very next day after the royal family’s funeral was also meant to suppress public suspicion and discontent.
Had Ileon taken the throne while the royal family still lived, many would have rebelled against him for breaking his oath never to claim the crown.
But now that the entire royal bloodline was dead, Ileon ascending the throne was not rebellion—it was heroism.
There were those like Balt who harbored resentment toward him, but reversing the overwhelming public support he now enjoyed was nearly impossible.
He could have chosen to frame Dietrich Calypso for the royal family’s murder and other crimes, then locked him away in prison—but Ileon did not do so.
Because his way was to give hope, then snatch it away.
When one believes escape is possible, yet is already trapped and dying.
When what one believed was hope turns out to be despair, merely wrapped in the name of hope.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…

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?
