When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 180
Tae Mi nodded. Just as he turned to search for the girl, Charlotte called out to him in a hushed voice.
“Tae Mi.”
“What?”
“Was there really no one else in their right mind besides that girl?”
Tae Mi shook his head as he looked at her.
“I don’t know. There might’ve been someone. Why?”
Charlotte glanced down at the carpet on the floor. Upon closer inspection, it was thick with dust. If even just one person who knew how to clean properly had remained, would things really have come to this?
Charlotte clicked her tongue softly, making a worried little sound, and spoke.
“I wonder if that woman, Colfer, could really have controlled so many people all by herself. Couldn’t anyone have escaped? Even though she’s been a vampire for several months, she’s still just a fledgling—like a beast, really. Barely shed her downy fur yet.”
Though this was an overly optimistic view, Tae Mi didn’t question her further and quietly listened. Charlotte gnawed thoughtfully on her thumbnail.
“To control so many people, she must’ve either had someone helping her… or there must’ve been some other method—a way to replenish her strength.”
Just then, a name flashed through Tae Mi’s mind—the name the girl had whispered in a trembling voice.
“There’s someone named Jips.”
“Jips? Who’s that?”
“I didn’t see his face. I don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman. When that girl came to find me and led me down to the basement, he must’ve opened the door for her. He was waiting upstairs.”
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…

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.
