Not that cold? I feel like I’m going to freeze to death. The locals are impressive!

“Thank goodness. Then, slowly move inside. Never turn your back or run before securing a safe distance. The puppy might get excited and run towards you.”

“Yes. We will.”

“Good. Go now.”

The two friends hesitated for a moment instead of stepping back right away. Then they whisper in my ear.

“We’ll… bring the knights right away…!”

“?”

Why are they speaking so desperately? Why are they bringing the knights?

I was a bit puzzled but quickly shrugged off the question. I felt like I roughly understood the reason.

‘That puppy must belong to a knight’s order.’

While convincing myself, the rustle behind me gradually moved away. Fortunately, the puppy did not pay attention to them.

Instead, it keeps glancing at me as it wanders on the snowfield. I did not take my eyes off the puppy either.

When I was left alone with the puppy in the hallway, it slowly began to approach me.

Its bushy tail wagged softly. There was no hint of hostility towards me in its cautious steps or gentle eyes. I relaxed just a bit.

Then the puppy quickened its pace. It trotted to my feet and sniffed.

I stood still so as not to make the puppy feel threatened. The puppy circled around me, sniffing diligently.

After a while, when it seemed satisfied with exploring me, the puppy sat in front of me, wagging its tail violently.

Then it flopped onto its back.

“!”

A, a strange dog suddenly shows its belly to me!

I rolled my eyes around and slowly crouched down. Curiosity and affection shone in the eyes of the puppy I faced.

Could it be? It seemed so anxious just a moment ago. Was it looking for someone to help? Someone to rely on? I felt a tug at my heartstrings.

“Hello?”

I greeted the puppy with a playful voice so as not to make it anxious again, and cautiously stroked its chin.

The puppy did not resist. So I used both hands to scratch behind its ears and stroke its chest.

Soon, the puppy and I became best friends, rolling around together on the floor.

“Aw, cute, aw, pretty. Our fluffy cutie~!”

“Woof!”

The puppy passionately licks my face. I hugged the puppy and scratched it here and there. Meanwhile, I examined the puppy’s condition closely.
There were no noticeable wounds. The health condition didn’t seem to be much of an issue either. However, overall, the body was thin and scraggy.

Combining various factors like behavior and the look in the eyes, it was clear that this dog had been neglected without proper care from its owner.

Seeing the dog whining and burrowing into my arms, I suddenly thought of my cute youngest pet, my precious companion Bingsu.

Bingsu used to think that everyone in the world had to find her adorable, of course.

Comparing the two dogs at the same time made my heart ache even more.

“Dogs should all be loved and happy… Where did you come from? Whoever your owner is, when I meet them…”

They should be stripped and buried in the snow, then starved for three days and nights.

I embraced the dog firmly, resolving to do so. But at that moment, I heard a heavy thudding of footsteps from the side.

‘Did those kids send someone?’

I turned my head towards the sound.

There.

“…….”

Dark blue hair fluttering in the cold wind, blue eyes that seem to encompass everything.

Against the backdrop of the fir forest, on the pure white snowfield, my beloved favorite, Asphayren Loarkin, stood like a painting.

‘But, why?’

Why is he here?!

I’m glad, but surprised. My back felt a bit clammy. I hesitantly called out to him.

“Lo, Lord?”

“…….”

Asphayren was wearing a strange expression.

His eyes were wide open with eyebrows narrowed, his mouth slightly open, looking both surprised and incredulous.

Was he surprised because the child he had put in the sickroom was suddenly rolling around here?

Though he has a stern look, his staring silently like this was a bit scary.

But at the moment I let my guard down, the dog that had been quietly nestled in my arms suddenly slipped out.

“Ouch!”

I quickly reached out to hold it again, but the dog moved swiftly, turned its back to me, and stood there. Then.

“Grrrrr.”

Lowering its body slightly, it began to growl at Asphayren, as if trying to protect me.

‘…My goodness!’

Is it trying to protect me now? Because it thinks I’m scared? How brave! But what if something goes wrong!

I was trying to calm the dog down when suddenly, from the other side, there came a rumbling sound like the ground collapsing.

Startled, I turned my head in that direction. What came into view were, none other than, a group of armed knights.

My arms remained outstretched as I stood frozen, my mouth agape. What’s with those knights? Why are they armed as if they came to capture someone?

‘This is crazy!’

The knights, rushing towards us, stopped abruptly upon seeing Asphayren and stood still. The knight at the front saluted on behalf of them.

“We greet the Lord!”

Asphayren lightly nodded his head, his eyes still fixed on me.

“Yes.”

“We came hastily after receiving a witness report from the maids… ugh.”

The knight, who was eloquently explaining why they had come, glanced at me and suddenly staggered back in surprise.

But it wasn’t just that knight. The other knights behind him began to murmur as well, glancing back and forth between me and the dog.

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.”
