Lu nodded at Carlos, whose face was a whirlpool of emotions.
Though he couldn’t understand, didn’t want to admit it, but since things had happened, it seemed he thought he had to appease Lu. It was the first time Lu saw Carlos so poor at controlling his expressions.
He resisted Hayden’s attack, shook off Ophelia’s attack, and seriously chose his words.
“I can do that too…”
There was no need to hear more garbage. Before he could finish, Lu threw the resignation letter precisely in Carlos’s face.
“Should’ve done it sooner.”
I knew it. I always knew that’s what he was like. But hearing it directly felt different.
Rue glared at Carlos with a feeling of her blood turning cold. She wanted to kill him. It was the first time she’d felt such a strong urge to harm someone. This intense impulse was a first for her.
“What good is saying something like that now? If you could’ve done it, you should’ve done it a long time ago.”
Without realizing it, she stepped forward. The sound of collision and friction became unbearably noisy.
“Your Majesty, it’s natural for people to lean towards taking care of their families and looking out for others. If you don’t know that, you’ve lived your life in vain.”
“Pathetic.”
Hayden shook his head. He managed to fend off Carlos’s attack and still had room to protect both Ophelia and Rue. It felt as though he was giving Rue time to speak to Carlos.
“So no one from Kaleta who came here has ever wanted to leave. Who would go to a ‘so-called’ Emperor who’s been doing nothing but scamming and thieving from the start?”
The term “so-called Emperor” seemed to have hit a nerve with Carlos. His pale hand reached out toward her, aiming precisely at the center of the curse that bound her—her heart.
Rue drew her sword to block that hand, which she knew she had no chance of opposing. She wouldn’t drop her sword no matter what.
Crack.
But before his long, pale hand could reach her, lights that had radiated around Hayden quickly gathered. A credential that had fallen and hit Carlos’s face suddenly floated in the air and then stuck to him completely.
“That’s enough trespassing for now. If you’re unhappy with what happened today, come cross the barrier yourself and try doing the same.”
The bright light was dazzling. Rue narrowed her eyes. Between the white lights, ominous emerald lights kept reaching out toward her.
But they were ultimately blocked by Hayden. The one protecting her now was overwhelming.
“Ah, I should take the credential.”
His gleaming gray eyes smiled menacingly. Ophelia reached out her hand. Massive forces collided, and in the end, Carlos Arthur Ingram, who had momentarily appeared here, was driven out.
As soon as he disappeared, Rue collapsed on the spot. Clang, her sword also fell.
“Rue.”
Hayden immediately turned his body toward her and extended his hand.
“I’m fine.”
“I know.”
Despite the defensive words that reflexively came out, he didn’t withdraw his hand. Ophelia rushed over and supported Rue. Handprints had already appeared on her neck in a flushed red.
“For heaven’s sake, Lady Gennes, come with me right now.”
She wanted to get up on her own. Or at least, she wanted the strength to do so. A woman who had once been able to stand on her own had to rely on a large man. It was both frustrating and somewhat relieving to think of the credential. Rue deliberately shut her eyes tightly.
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.”
