When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 170
Although Princess Feriera had recovered her health, rumors about the Crown Princess had thrown the House of Roanoke into an atmosphere of nervous unrest.
“They say the reason Her Highness fell ill was entirely due to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?”
“Apparently, she was jealous of the King’s affection for the Princess.”
“Is that so? What I heard was different. After the Crown Prince saw his grandson, he stopped visiting Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so she grew furious and tried to curse Princess Feriera.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. If she was angry at the Crown Prince, why would she curse the Princess?”
“She must have been jealous of the young and beautiful Princess.”
King Ryuen issued a strict order forbidding any discussion or speculation regarding both Princess Feriera and the Crown Princess, yet even a king could not silence every tongue.
Soon, rumors spread that it was a lie that the Crown Princess was confined to her chambers—that in fact, the enraged King Ryuen had already punished her. Though someone claimed to have seen her through the window of the Crown Princess’s quarters, others immediately countered that it must have been an imposter.
Among the wildly exaggerated rumors circulating, very few held any truth. It was true that Jibshia was confined within the Crown Princess’s palace, yet for some reason, King Ryuen had delayed passing judgment on her.
Although the King claimed there were more pressing matters of state, most people found it hard to understand how he could possibly tolerate someone who had endangered his beloved daughter, given how fiercely protective he usually was of Feriera.
Moreover, the claims that Jibshia had cursed Feriera out of jealousy were utterly absurd. Even the gossips who loved to chatter everywhere had no idea exactly why Feriera had nearly died. They knew only that she had been saved by that strange apothecary, “Baroness Barrett,” but not precisely which medicine or method had been used.
Upon hearing these rumors from a discreet maid, Feriera blinked calmly—in a manner uncharacteristic of a fifteen-year-old—and said,
“Rumors are like snakes biting their own tails. They slowly devour themselves to fill their bellies… but eventually, there’ll be nothing left to eat, and they’ll naturally vanish. Let them say whatever they like about me; don’t interfere. But if anyone speaks disrespectfully of Her Majesty, warn them sternly in my name.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Feriera gestured for the maid to leave. Though she had always been mature for her age, her recent transformation made it inevitable that yet another small rumor would be added to the rest.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”

Could someone be trying to frame the crown prince?
Yes, kill the vampire before it reveals it’s secrets. This guy is still suspicious. The easiest way to avoid being seen as a suspect is to become a victim.
The guards are to protect the kingdom, it makes no sense to prioritize the guards well being over the kingdoms well being. That is precisely what the 2nd prince has done by letting Maleblanc go and calling a retreat.
