Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 64
“No, it’s nothing like that. Why on earth did you growl at His Grace? This is the Grand Duke’s castle. If you want to live here as a pampered puppy, shouldn’t you behave nicely toward His Grace?”
[Why would I ever seek his affection? The Celestial-Demon War ended only recently. If he’s one who carries demon blood, I absolutely loathe him.]
Hearing the phrase “Celestial-Demon War” made Pieta’s divinity feel even more undeniable.
Orentia spoke cautiously to Pieta.
“His Grace didn’t explain it to me in detail, but it seems he needs my holy power—which opposes demonic energy—to maintain his human form for longer.”
Pieta scratched his head with a front paw. The gesture was so adorable that it felt jarring.
[So, aren’t you even afraid of living alongside someone who might turn into a demon?]
If he truly needed holy power to retain his human shape, then Pieta’s words meant he could indeed become a demon. After all, whenever Dimidius lost control, his back would ripple as if wings were about to sprout, and he’d growl like a beast.
What if they truly failed to stop his rampage and Dimidius turned into a demon?
Dimidius would never be able to live in Bonus Empire again. People already feared him for being half-demon and carrying demon blood; if he actually became one, he’d surely be condemned.
“I believe His Grace wouldn’t harm me even if he became a demon. For some reason, that’s just how I feel.”
It might be foolish faith—maybe she was just getting cocky because she’d grown somewhat closer to Dimidius by now. But Orentia didn’t want to imagine Dimidius turning into a demon. She resolved to keep channeling her holy power to prevent his rampage.
Still, what should she do about Dimidius’s request for her to stay by his side permanently? In just a few months, their contract would end, and she’d be free—but now she’d heard an awfully troublesome plea.
She was still too confused to even identify the source of her own feelings; she clearly needed more time.

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.”
