Early dawn before the day brightened, Lord Liraneph came. We called him to a detached building instead of the royal palace.
This was because his entry and exit should not be known to others.
‘This place…’
Revanpel was confident that he would never be found out by others.
Guided by Revanpel, the detached building we arrived at was a place I had never seen before.
It was in a place where the sun did not rise, and there was no one guarding. It was poorly managed to the point that one could believe it was a prison.
It was the last trace of human habitation a very long time ago.
“Calling me to a place like this.”
There was no sign of anxiety in Lord Liraneph, who appeared discreetly with Clint.
He was already relaxed, as if he had put everything in his hands.
Now that Lord Liraneph had been summoned, Raven planned to deal with the issue of the successor to the lord and how much the ancestors knew.
In other words, only the three of us, Revanpel, Clint, and I, would face the lord.
As if sitting on a dirty chair was uncomfortable, Revanpel kicked it with his foot and raised his head.
“I haven’t committed any crimes, yet you treat me like a criminal.”
“Is that so? I won’t beat around the bush. …Lord Liraneph, where is Genevra hiding?”
There’s no point in beating around the bush anyway. In this case, it’s best to speak straightforwardly.
In response to my question, Lord Liraneph smirked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Your Majesty. …Hmm, Genevra?”
Lord Liraneph tilted his head left and right as if playing dumb.
“Genevra, huh… Oh, isn’t that the name of that heinous criminal? But why are you looking for that person from me?”
“The incidents at the Grand Temple and the Empress Eteria’s case will be irrelevant anyway since there’s no evidence left. Of course, if you say you didn’t know about the rose tea I gave to Iyana, that would be enough.”
Lord Liraneph grinned and made a fist. As a series of events unfolded from my mouth, he showed a defensive attitude.
“He used to be like that when he met Genevra. He said he didn’t confront others with brute force but used his head. So, he probably anticipated it well this time, that I would treat Carayan and Iyana.”
As if understanding what I was saying, Lord Liraneph just smiled.
I looked at Clint and gestured towards him. Then Clint approached Lord Liraneph, forced him to sit on the dirty chair, facing me.
“Do you know what this is? Lord.”
I extended a teacup in front of Lord Liraneph and personally poured tea from the pot.
“You probably know the tea you enjoy.”
“……!”
The unpleasant smell of dust disappeared, and a fragrant rose scent filled the air immediately.
The smile disappeared from Lord Liraneph’s face.
“Iyana received a very nice tea as a gift and shared it with me.”
I filled the teacup in front of Lord Liraneph and poured rose tea into my cup as well.
“Are you trying to threaten me now?”
“Is it a threat to you to have tea together? How strange.”
I poured all the tea from the pot into the teacups and threw it back.
Mue told me before. I don’t flinch at diseases or real power, which is not a fake.
“Drink, Lord.”
“……. ”
“If you really don’t know anything, you should be able to drink that tea willingly.”
Lord Liraneph did not reach out. His face showed that he didn’t want to get close to the rose tea he enjoyed.
As if he knew everything.
“Lord.”
I drew power and created a protective barrier around me as I had learned from Mue. It was a precautionary measure.
Then I reached out and picked up the teacup in front of me.
Everyone, Clint, Revanpel, and Lord Liraneph, felt tense.
I didn’t say anything.
I simply stared at the viscount while holding the teacup. Then, without averting my gaze, I brought the teacup to my lips and gulped down the tea.
Gulp.
“……!!”
Viscount, surprised as I actually took a gulp of the tea, jumped up from his seat. His eyes widened significantly. Shocked into astonishment, he couldn’t utter a word.
I nonchalantly finished the tea in one shot and tossed the teacup back, making a loud noise as it shattered crisply.
“You deceived me…!!”
“Whether I deceived you or not, you’ll know by drinking the tea right in front of you. Is this really the tea you gifted to Iyana, or…”
“…….”
“I wonder if such tricks work on a relentless saint like you.”
“……!!!”
At that moment, the viscount’s face turned a ghastly pale blue.
If I had to bring Genevra out, I had to play the saint card. There was no need to hide it.
“Unlike me… if a single drop could make you die instantly, you wouldn’t be so fearless.”
“S-Saint…”
“So, either drink the tea or tell me.”
“……. ”
“Where did that bastard Genevra hide?”
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.”
