When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
The Red Garden was the nickname of the royal villa attached to Roanoke Palace.
Riding a carriage southward from the Central Palace, one could see a row of massive pillars crafted from marble, agate, and pale obsidian.
Irregular patterns swirled upward like whirlwinds toward the triangular roof shingles, and the translucent, beautiful pillars that reflected one’s face extended all the way to the colonnade.
Glass that reflected light and sturdy mother-of-pearl ornaments were hung like pendants from every spire, and mechanical devices installed beneath the colonnade floor artificially generated breezes, producing a faint, gentle tinkling sound.
Following the gently curved colonnade to its end, an endlessly wide poppy field unfolded across a vast flatland and gentle ridges.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful garden lay intricate mechanical devices painstakingly engineered by the kingdom’s finest artisans.
Using steam and geothermal energy, they maintained ideal conditions year-round for poppies to thrive, automatically drawing groundwater to directly water the roots whenever moisture levels ran low.
This villa garden housed the very pinnacle of Roanoke’s mechanical engineering—yet it was also the most cherished place of King Ryuen Vandrop and a strictly restricted area, inaccessible to just anyone.
“Ah!”
Bennent, the Crown Prince’s son who had been playing with Prince Adonion, spotted Matiel approaching from afar and beamed brightly.
The three-year-old, who believed the world was filled only with beautiful and wonderful things, hurried toward Matiel, his short legs moving as fast as they could.
“Duke Matiel!”
Matiel swiftly and safely caught Bennent, who had leapt toward him like a rabbit, and said gently,
“Your Highness Bennent, didn’t I tell you it’s dangerous to run about?”
“It’s not dangerous! I’m fine!”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
To be honest, Tae Mi is my favorite character in this novel.
Wow that’s grotesque. I didn’t think this novel was going to be so gorey
