Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 21
Why on earth was she looking at him with that expression?
Watching Isabelle, who first stared at him with a deathly pale face and then glared as if betrayed, he realized this was precisely the moment to use the phrase “beyond exasperating.”
“Amy.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Please bring Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.”
“Understood.”
The one who caused the incident was Alicia’s maid, and Killian was the one who nearly suffered from it—but it happened during the preparations for the banquet.
Although it was a matter Alicia and Killian could have easily resolved between themselves, they couldn’t let it end that way.
‘It wouldn’t hurt to show Sienna just how far my influence truly reaches, using this opportunity.’
When her father died and she ascended the imperial throne, Alicia hadn’t known the full extent of what she could or couldn’t do.
The emperor who could have taught her had passed away, and her subordinates hadn’t wanted imperial power to grow stronger.
Thus, Alicia had to learn the limits of her own authority through trial and error, step by painful step.
Of course, her husband Killian held even greater power, so although she understood her limits, she’d never truly been able to wield that power—yet that experience now enabled her current judgment.
“I greet Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess.”
Alicia approached Sienna respectfully, bowing deeply as she arrived with Amy.
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.”
Alicia is very unlucky. Of all the servants, she found only Killian’s spy.
Marisa wants time to tell Killian about it. The problem is that Alicia never suspected her.
We are all shocked. The person Alicia came looking for right in front of her.
