To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 146
“Why is Gabe Esteban in such a state!
The heavy silence that had been choking the Emperor was shattered at that very moment. Just moments before, the Emperor had been too stunned by Gabe Esteban’s entrance to even breathe—but now his eyes flashed sharply.
“Count Esteban! I understand that you and Sir Gabe Esteban may not be on good terms, but how dare you treat your own father in such a manner!”
The nobles, who knew nothing of the full context, focused solely on the scene before them.
Nerea Esteban had brazenly brought her father, Gabe Esteban, bound like a criminal and even covered with a sack over his head.
“How could you commit such a heinous act? Count Esteban! There must be limits even when treating one’s father as a criminal. Must you truly do this in front of all the gathered nobility!”
At the Crown Prince’s words, the Emperor suddenly snapped back to his senses.
Just yesterday, the Crown Prince had stared at him with a foolish, blank expression—but now he was already pleading toward the Emperor, trying to turn this situation to his advantage.
It didn’t stop there. Reacting swiftly to the Crown Prince’s cue, the other nobles also began reading the atmosphere with surprising agility. After a brief moment of shock at the sudden turn of events, their faces quickly filled with righteous indignation.
“Your Majesty! Is not Sir Gabe Esteban the father of the Crown Princess, as he himself stated during the trial! Please, take this matter most seriously!”
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right, Your Majesty. Count Esteban’s current actions seem nothing short of an attempt to distract from Your Majesty’s intended judgment by presenting his own father as a criminal here before us all.”
Hearing the nobles lay such groundwork, the Emperor’s brow hardened. He fixed Nerea with a sharp, piercing glare.
His previously muddled thoughts cleared instantly.
No matter that Nerea Esteban had brought Gabe Esteban here herself—it changed nothing. The Emperor could silence Nerea Esteban so thoroughly that she wouldn’t utter even a single word.
“Count, do not even think of offering a single excuse. Leave the council chamber at once.”

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.”
