Despite the scornful glances from the eastern nobles, and sometimes feeling upset, Milene Genesis fearlessly roamed around the ballroom, making many friendships with her unique friendliness and social skills, and maintaining them closely.
The number of people pretending to know her was surprisingly high, and Ru, who had watched from a distance, was amazed.
“Now, sit down. You need to rest a bit. Want some water?”
Champagne is good. Ru sneakily pulled the water glass her father gave her behind and, while wandering around, secretly grabbed a champagne glass from a passing servant and sipped it, looking ahead.
Unexpectedly, Hayden appeared and started dancing with the Duchess of Alanka, one of the alliances of the Alsmone Alliance.
As a result, Elshe Viscount Lamberge, who had been watching the situation from afar, felt complex and subtle emotions when the Emperor danced with his mother instead of his sister.
“Anyway, it’s hard to ignore even if we abolish the Alsmone Alliance.”
“That’s right. So, you won’t be dancing with the Duchess of Alanka, will you? She’s the eastern big shot, you know?”
The Emperor, who had already married and had five children with his wife, smoothly danced the formal dance but seemed very tired.
Elsh Viscount Lamberge, who would become the next Alanka Duke, realized that the chance for his sister to dance with the Emperor had passed. Dancing once with the Duchess of Alanka was enough to save face for the Alanka Duke.
Next, he danced with the young lady from the northern viscount, who seemed more appropriate for expressing that she came to the palace to sightsee with her mother. The Emperor looked at her with an affectionate smile, treating her like a younger sister, and everyone watched, smiling.
It was the same for Ru. Then, when her gray eyes met his again, she involuntarily flinched.
‘Oh, again.’
Hayden, who was leading the tense young lady calmly and affectionately, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. Around that time, the young ladies behind Ru quickly unfolded their fans, covering their faces with high cheekbones.
At that moment, Elshe Viscount Lamberge, who had been watching the Emperor dance with his mother, came to the Flache Viscount to answer for it.
“Hello, Count Genesis.”
“Viscount Lamberge.”
Anyway, if the Emperor showed minimal courtesy to the east, they had to congratulate today’s victory in monster subjugation and the Flache Viscountess bringing the symbol of imperial power. It was also a courtesy as a subject.
But the young Viscount Lamberge found the Flache Viscountess very difficult and demanding. It was different from his father, the Duke of Alanka. Yes, the Flache Viscountess was a very moral person.
“It’s been a while. I heard that you suffered a lot from monster subjugation. I’m glad you came back safely.”
Was he acting more morally strict because he was from the lowly Kaleeta? Viscount Manuel Lamberge of Flache thought for a moment as he spoke.
“What suffering? Your Majesty worked hard.”
“Congratulations. Thanks to you, our empire has taken a significant slope, and on top of that, your daughter has brought another big gift.”
No, Manuel Lamberge judged that the mid-aged knight in front of him was originally that kind of person. He might not speak easily because he was young, but he wasn’t humble either.
People find it difficult to deal with those who are firm and upright. It’s because they can’t do it themselves.
Even though people might despise a knight from a rural area and from Kaleeta, when they actually faced the Flache Viscount, they unconsciously behaved politely and modestly.
“It’s fortunate that our families reunite. Congratulations sincerely.”
“Thank you for saying that. Ru, can you come here for a moment? This is Elshe Viscount, the eldest son of Alanka Duke from the east.”
Even in the way he spoke to his daughter, the gaze, and the appearance, it was clear that the two were very different. Manuel Lamberge swallowed a bitter smile, comparing himself with his father, the Flache Viscount.
“Hello. It is an honor to meet the lady who has achieved the greatest merit today. I am Manuel Lamberge.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Rustica Genesis.”
As an eastern noble, Rustica Genesis exchanged only greetings with western rural knights and never requested a dance. It was a matter of pride as an eastern aristocrat.
After various pleasantries, Manuel turned away. The Flache Viscount always left an uncomfortable impression on him. That lifelong knight was never someone who would sell his daughter for profit or prioritize gains over family. It always made Manuel very uncomfortable.
[Star Icon]The exhausted emperor never danced with unmarried young ladies from the east.
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.”
