When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 188
Marquis Mattele objected.
“Your Grace, I understand your feelings, but isn’t this still something no one can be certain of? Two significant royal officials have died. We cannot rule out any possibility.”
“What nonsense! Are you suggesting, then, that the Crown Prince is the culprit behind these incidents?”
“Don’t jump to conclusions! I never meant to imply that the Crown Prince alone—!”
“Both of you, stop it.”
The two men, who had been on the verge of a heated argument, simultaneously fell silent and turned their eyes toward King Ryuen.
She was trembling more than they had ever seen her before. The woman who had always possessed unwavering courage and decisive strength—the very woman who had lacked nothing in claiming the throne—was now visibly shaking with fear and confusion. Count Scrabster was struck far more profoundly by the sight of King Ryuen revealing fear than by the possibility that the Crown Prince might be behind the heinous crimes.
“Do you think I would want to suspect my own son?”
When King Ryuen quietly spoke, a heavy, oppressive silence settled over the table—a suffocating atmosphere that weighed upon their lips and throats like layers of accumulated dust.
“If this coincidence had happened just once… perhaps I could have dismissed it as mere chance. But when it occurs twice, thrice—then we can no longer ignore it as mere suspicion.”
Her earlier trembling had vanished, replaced now by a calm tone, yet King Ryuen kept shuddering intermittently from an indescribable sense of vague guilt and anxiety.
Largo’s childhood flashed before her eyes in rapid succession—his tiny face swaddled in infancy, his cold and arrogant demeanor as a boy, and finally his maturity into a man fully capable of bearing the weight of a nation.
King Ryuen briefly closed her eyes, then opened them again and spoke calmly.
“I agree with Marquis Mattele. Largo, too, bears reasonable suspicion. After all, it won’t be long before he inherits the throne. Therefore…”
Count Scrabster spoke up.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.

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.
