“The number of monsters suddenly increased, and the Caries Empire was pushed to the limit, eventually having no choice but to request help from the Aodin Empire. They promised everything they wanted from the royal treasury to get a promise. That they would help.”
But even this time, Aodin broke that promise too easily.
“But they didn’t show up until the end. Later I found out they enjoyed a feast through the night. While we fought and vomited blood for days and nights, and piled up mountains of corpses. That was orchestrated by Aodin’s emperor and the Istella ducal family.”
It was as vivid to him as yesterday’s event. Even the desperate look of his father who kneeled and pleaded for help.
“We lost a lot that day, but we realized something very important. Never to rely on that damned Aodin again, that we would survive on Caries’ strength alone. So don’t dare chatter as if you know it all. I’m barely holding back from killing you right now.”
From the deeply enraged Shuher, it seemed like the painful time that the Caries Empire had endured was apparent.
Eventually, they regained peace through their own strength, but no matter how much time passed, the wounds and pain they received would not easily disappear.
Evenel, who was strictly speaking in a thirdparty position, could empathize more. Even about the situation that Aodin is in now.
“So now Aodin is being punished, having lost all its ability. In a way, I think it’s only natural.”
While speaking her thoughts to the end, she did not avoid Shuher’s eyes.
‘I was not scared at all.’
Even now, even though she had nearly lost her life to a monster, her eyes had never shown fear.
“What do you want to say?”
“Your Majesty, I don’t care how you will retaliate against Aodin. But please spare Lia. She is just a child who followed me.”
“Why should I particularly do that?”
“Kill me instead.”
Those words even quenched the anger that had been welling up inside him. She was a woman he couldn’t understand at all.
He withdrew the arms that had trapped her, and the rising Evenel stared at him without trembling.
“Are you really sincere about this?”
“Yes.”
Evenel was willing to do so if the only way to save Lia was to give her own life. There was nothing to regret about a life that should have died anyway.
“You will be able to clearly convey to Aodin that it’s not the previous Caries by killing me as an example. Wouldn’t that be an equivalent exchange? It won’t matter even if it’s a simple venting if you send my maid.”
“To give up your life for one maid……”
In South Korea, where she had lived, status was never an issue. It was for Lia, who had taken care of her when everything was strange and lonely.
Perhaps she wanted to alleviate the guilt of not being able to do anything when her sister died in this way.
“Even in a situation where my own life is in danger, I stepped forward to protect you. So I’m trying to save her as if she were my child.”
“Even at the cost of your life?”
“Yes, if that’s the way to save Lia.”
When Evenel calmly considered her own status, there was nothing else she had.
“As you know, Your Majesty, I have nothing to offer but my life. Just because I am a noble, my life is not precious, and just because that child is a servant, her life is not light.”
It was a very natural statement from her point of view, but not for Shuher. After all, there is something called status in this world.
And if you think about what she said.
“If your logic is correct, then the value of my life and your life is the same.”
“Essentially, yes, but if one of us has to die between me and Your Majesty, it would be right for me to die. You are leading the Karies Empire, but I am an entity that can disappear without any problems.”
The more Shuher heard Evenel’s story, the more he couldn’t figure out what kind of person she was. She looked naive as if she didn’t know the ways of the world, but she knew her situation exactly.
She was the first person to go beyond his expectations.
“Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“If not, it would be a lie. But if I can save Lia, I can humbly accept it. Because there’s something I can do.”
Shuher’s mouth opened as he silently listened to her words.
“I will save the servant.”
“Really?”
Color returned to Evenel’s face at his answer. But Shuher’s words didn’t end there.
“And I will not kill you either.”
“Why?”
She couldn’t help but be surprised by the unexpected remark.
She had been thrown to the demons as prey, and even just a moment ago, he had said he could kill her at any time, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Instead of answering, Shuher grabbed Evenel’s wrist and stood up from his seat. And he took her to a fulllength mirror on one side of the room.
“What are you doing now?”
“Look at the mirror.”
At his words, Evenel turned her head to the mirror without thinking.
As her unfamiliar platinum blonde hair passed, her eyes met her own in the mirror and her unfamiliar eyes showed surprise.
Soon, she approached the mirror with an incredulous look and raised her hand over her right eye, reflected in the mirror.
If there was nothing wrong with Evenel’s eyes.
“Why are my pupils…”
What happened while she was collapsed? Her right pupil, which had been bloodred, had been completely drained of its color and turned white.
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.”
