Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 89
What on earth is this supposed to mean?
It was impossible to tell whether these were the words of young Dimidius or adult Dimidius.
Orentia looked straight into Dimidius’s crimson eyes and said,
“What are you talking about? Why can’t you escape? I’m right here.”
At that, Dimidius’s large eyes welled up, and tears began to fall.
“Even as an adult, I still wear a mask everywhere I go. Just now, I saw that image flash before my eyes. I can’t escape Father’s influence.”
Why did young Dimidius have to witness such a sight? Indeed, Dimidius had never fully freed himself from the pain inflicted by his father, James Belial. He feared showing his face to others and had once been so furious he nearly burned James Belial’s portrait.
It seemed young Dimidius had unconsciously realized this truth and was now sinking into despair. His shoulders slumped, and his eyes had already grown hollow—a state even graver than when he’d been overwhelmed by fear.
Orentia grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
“Snap out of it, Dimidius! You pulled me out of my nightmare, didn’t you? You wanted me to stay by your side forever! You—the one who only ever showed me your face in the dark—finally took off your mask under the sunlight! You can’t forget that!”
She shouted in anguish. She knew she shouldn’t lose control like this, but seeing Dimidius seemingly ready to abandon everything because of that vile man, James Belial, broke her heart. Even if she herself ended up drained of all her vital energy by Mongma and died, she still wanted to get Dimidius out of this place.
With that desperate wish, Orentia embraced Dimidius and tried opening every door in the room, hoping to find one that connected to reality. But since none appeared, it seemed impossible unless Dimidius himself came to realization.
“Why aren’t I in your future? Why do you only think of the you who wears a mask and burned James Belial’s portrait?”
Though she’d fled, leaving behind only divorce papers, with the intention of leaving his side forever, she now wept, thinking how selfish her words truly were. Unconsciously, she felt her strength draining from her entire body. Perhaps her real self, collapsed before the Obityun Sea, had lost too much vital energy.
Dizziness overwhelmed Orentia, and she collapsed right where she stood. The Dimidius she’d been holding also fell to the floor, gasping raggedly.

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.”
