“If the assassin working here and there is as skilled as expected, I can’t guarantee you’ll even be able to inflict a small wound on him with the determination to die.”
There was no sympathy or warmth in Revampelle’s voice. The reality he threw out like sand on a dry desert was cold.
Raven weakly chuckled. It seemed like he had already considered such things thousands of times in his mind.
“So, are you telling me to become His Majesty’s dog and fetch that person?”
Raven replied playfully. He was the man who, from our first encounter, pleaded with me not to call him to the palace again.
So, there’s no way I’ll gladly accept the proposal to come to the palace.
“No need to ask.”
Revampelle swept his hair back. His clear eyes gleamed like a madman.
“As soon as you find him, just bark. I’ll do the tearing apart.”
“…Are you serious?”
“If you want, I can keep that guy in Montaju alive, and he’ll kneel before you. I won’t lay a hand until you’ve had all the revenge you want.”
It might be a cruel and ruthless proposal, but it was probably refreshing. Dealing with such a formidable opponent alone would be difficult for Raven.
Raven pondered seriously for a moment.
In fact, it wasn’t a bad proposal for both of them.
Revampelle needed someone to find Gennerva, and Raven had to find the man next to Gennerva.
If the two joined forces, Revampelle could find Gennerva and Raven, who feared the sword, could directly handle the assassin who had killed his brother.
Lost in thought, Raven, stroking his chin, finally spoke.
“…I appreciate the proposal, but.”
Raven raised his head with a smile.
“Becoming someone’s dog and being tied up is not my style. I prefer to be the one doing the tying.”
“Too bad. I don’t like being tied up either.”
Raven, who had stopped walking, distanced himself from us by a step.
“Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, may I leave my way here?”
“What? Already? You’re going like this from here?”
Whether it was because we had spent a few days together or because of the sentence Revampelle had said earlier about ‘dying together,’ Raven’s sudden departure made me feel a sense of loss.
Strictly speaking, I was a bird caught in a cage. Now it was time to set me free.
“But…”
Revampelle restrained me as I was about to add a final word. Then, as if advising against it, he slowly nodded his head.
I swallowed the words I wanted to bring up. Among the countless things I wanted to say, I carefully selected what I wanted to express.
Then, approaching Raven, I lightly tapped his shoulder.
“Keep the promise you made at the palace last time.”
Suddenly, from behind, I felt a scorching gaze shooting towards me.
Raven, trying not to look in that direction, awkwardly laughed.
“Hahaha. If you say so, Your Majesty. Hahaha. It seems like we’re not on good terms. Hahaha. Your Majesty is misunderstanding. Hahaha. What did I say again?”
“Didn’t you say you want to live long without dying?”
Raven slightly opened his lips. As if recalling, a sigh escaped between his lips.
“I said I value my life very much.”
“Keep that promise.”
“…”
“Let’s meet again.”
Raven laughed faintly as if he were about to disappear at any moment. If he continued to chase the assassin in Montaju to the end, they would meet again.
I felt that I would meet Raven again. Instead of answering, he brought up another topic.
“It’s a splendid choice to persuade Count Tenen and bring him as an escort, Your Majesty.”
“…Out of the blue?”
“If Your Majesty is concerned about me, I should express my concerns as well.”
With a frozen smile on his face, Raven whispered quietly with a stern voice.
“Be careful of my father.”
The trading ship arrived at the harbor. The trading ship, which had encountered a severe storm on the way, was in disarray. Many people were injured, and the cargo brought on board barely made it to shore as an emergency unfolded.
Everyone, without questioning each other’s identity, busily carried the injured and the cargo.
“Everyone seems busy.”
And in the midst of that, a casually dressed man strolled out with light steps, setting foot on the land of the Leonhartan Empire.
“It doesn’t feel like I’ve been away for long. Is this why everyone talks about their hometowns, hometowns?”
The man, Gennerva, pushed up his glasses and looked around the restless surroundings. The salty sea breeze lingered in the air, but strangely, the atmosphere felt refreshing.
Gennerva, glancing around, spotted his subordinates who had come to greet him and rushed toward them.
“Did you come on a trading ship? Identity verification…”
“Ah. That outer appearance looks fine, but it’s a smuggling ship. I also came as an illegal crew member. No welcome flowers for the one who came to greet me?”
“Uh… um… I’m sorry. I didn’t think about it. If it’s okay, should I pick some flowers along the roadside…”
“Never mind.”
Gennerva nodded carelessly. Then, as if he had become an important person, he walked away with his subordinates carrying the baggage.
“The carriage is ready over there.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
