When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 148
“Good heavens.”
Before Matiel could even finish speaking, Holen let out a sound resembling a sigh. The emotion in it was so strong that the still night air seemed to shiver.
“So Duke Elinak was that sort of person?”
He muttered it almost to himself, yet his eyes were fixed directly on Charlotte. She gave a slight, wry downturn of her lips—as if to say, “Tell me about it”—before replying.
“He’s wondering if you’ve always been this kind of person.”
“What do you mean?”
“He seems surprised you’re so blunt. I suppose he’s right?”
Holen nodded. The translucent motion of his head bobbing up and down was both comical and oddly unsettling.
Matiel spoke.
“Tell him we don’t have time for idle chatter.”
This time, Holen responded.
“I suppose he’s already forgotten I can hear everything he says.”
Then, once again, he clasped his hands together as if in prayer and covered his mouth. Matiel shot Charlotte a questioning look, silently asking how things were progressing.
“Wait. He seems to be thinking.”
“I’d prefer to wrap this up quickly. It’s giving me the creeps.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
