When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 155
Charlotte explained to Feriera, within the bounds of what Feriera could understand, about “humans unaffected by magic.” Aside from theoretical explanations, Charlotte could only describe her own experiences, and Feriera showed considerable interest in the fact that, until now, Matiel had been the only person Charlotte couldn’t manipulate.
“So that’s how you became close to Duke Elinak?”
At Feriera’s question, full of innocent curiosity, Charlotte gave a wry smile.
“It… wasn’t solely for that reason, but yes, that was how we came to know each other.”
“I see. I’ve occasionally overheard maids gossiping as they passed by, mentioning Duke Elinak. They said he’d never accepted anyone’s courtship nor courted anyone himself—yet suddenly, he got engaged.”
“We’re not engaged.”
Feriera let out a soft laugh.
“I know. But you’re very close, aren’t you? I envy you. I wish I could meet someone like that too…”
Feriera lowered her gaze and looked down at her pale hands. Her skin was so white it appeared almost translucent. Her veins stood out clearly, and her fingers were so thin—devoid of any softness—that her knuckles protruded sharply.
Feriera sighed.
“I doubt a day like that will ever come for me.”
“Don’t say that. It’s only because Your Highness hasn’t been well and thus rarely had the chance to meet peers your age. Once you recover and start meeting people, everyone will surely want to win your favor.”
“Do you really think so?”
She forced a smile, though it was meant more for Charlotte’s sake than her own. It wasn’t the kind of expression a child would make, and because of that, Charlotte felt an even deeper, indescribable emotion welling inside her. Her anger toward Maleblanc swelled immensely, nearly reaching its breaking point.
Charlotte said, “That’s probably why he wanted you, Your Highness—though I can’t prove it definitively yet.”
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…
