Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
“I trust you, my lady. So I’d like us to enter a contract based on mutual trust—not be met with sudden suspicion like this.”
Indeed, Dimidius also seemed to view their arrangement as a mutually beneficial contract. If she acted carefully from now on, perhaps she could even avoid the future foreseen in Daphne’s prophetic dream. After all, she had already changed the future once in the Odor territory, so she didn’t believe it impossible to alter what the Saintess had seen.
In short, she just needed to avoid ending up entangled in a love-hate relationship. There wouldn’t be any such trouble from now on.
Orentia spoke to him with a satisfied expression.
“I pushed you too suddenly, didn’t I? I’m sorry. I just felt that anxiety come over me all of a sudden.”
“I haven’t done anything at all. Are you telling me these thoughts just came to you out of nowhere?”
She still couldn’t bring herself to mention meeting Saintess Daphne with Crown Prince Regalis’s help. Once she’d started hiding it, it only grew harder to speak of.
Orentia nodded and walked toward the entrance.
“Yes. I should go to bed now. We’re leaving early tomorrow morning.”
Tomorrow was finally the day they’d head north to the Grand Duke’s manor. Though she’d only stay there for about five months, she felt a mix of curiosity and anticipation. Since they’d be there through spring and summer, she wouldn’t see snow, but it would certainly be refreshingly cool.
Dimidius followed her inside and said,
“Then please do get a good night’s rest.”
Orentia brushed off his words lightly and returned to her room. Dimidius, on the other hand, seemed headed to his study—perhaps he still had work left to do.
‘Not everything about being a Grand Duke is wonderful.’
Seeing how busy he must be, Orentia instinctively let go of any lingering thoughts about starting a business.
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.”
