When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 186
Charlotte moved only her eyes to look at the fallen Jips. He seemed unconscious but not dead. It was fortunate, really—he was a complete stranger to her.
After a sudden and absurd disaster, anyone would be glad to see another living soul. That Jips was still breathing meant exactly that to Charlotte—and nothing more.
The pendulum was still swinging, but she could feel it gradually weakening. When Charlotte turned her finger one full circle, a loud *click* sounded. Maleblanc, his pale brow furrowed deeply like a sheet of ice, swung his hand toward her.
“Agh!”
A fierce gust of wind, sharp enough to slice her nose, threw Charlotte off balance, making her stagger. Maleblanc did not miss the slightest disturbance in the pendulum’s rhythm.
“Ghk…!”
His icy fingers instantly coiled around Charlotte’s throat. It was cold—not merely in temperature. It felt as if his touch pierced through her skin, encasing her muscles and bones in frost, freezing her very blood. Overwhelmed by ruthless terror, her jaw trembled, her teeth chattering audibly.
Maleblanc’s face drew closer to hers. Though she felt no breath from him, Charlotte shuddered as if he were exhaling pure cold.
“Edesa Fordcom still had her uses….”
A choked groan rose in her throat, but Charlotte bit her lip hard to suppress it. She had already revealed too many weaknesses, and now her neck lay helpless in his grasp—nothing more, nothing less. She refused to give this merciless beast any further satisfaction.
“Now that you’ve come here, I have no reason left to hesitate.”
“What… what are you talking about?”
“You will become my wife. A far more useful piece to me than Edesa Fordcom ever was.”
Maleblanc’s lips parted, revealing sharp teeth.
“In many ways.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!

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.
