When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 146
Matiel did not raise his voice. Instead, as if afraid someone might overhear, he controlled even his breathing and spoke very quietly and quickly.
Yet Largo jumped as though Matiel had screamed into a megaphone at the top of his lungs. He leapt up from his seat, only to sink back down again as if his knees had gone weak, and shook his head from side to side like a broken wind-up doll. From up close, one might even hear the rattling sound in his throat.
“What kind of insane nonsense are you spouting now?”
Largo seemed momentarily dazed. At the same time, fury had risen all the way to the top of his head.
Don’t provoke a fool, Matiel recalled his father once saying long ago. And don’t provoke an angry man either. So what if the fool was furious? Then the wisest course was not even to look in that direction. So don’t you dare look at those idiots, son.
Though his father’s “furious fool” had naturally referred to the revolutionary government, the phrase fit Largo perfectly in this situation.
Matiel nearly burst into laughter at the irony but barely managed to suppress it—not only because he deeply understood the gravity of the situation, but also because he knew full well just how explosive the bomb he’d just dropped on Largo truly was.
Matiel spoke.
“Do you know a servant named Morren who works in the Crown Princess’s quarters? Have you ever seen him?”
He asked this despite knowing full well Largo wouldn’t recognize the name, clinging to a faint sliver of hope. Predictably, Largo frowned with an expression of utter unfamiliarity.
“Do you think I’m so idle that I’d bother remembering the names of mere servants?”
“I expected you’d say something like that.”
Matiel sighed and pressed his fingers firmly against his temples as another headache began to throb.
“His Majesty is overwhelmed by the matter of Count Holen. But soon—very soon—he will interrogate the Crown Princess. You must meet with her before he does.”
“Me personally?”
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.”
Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
