“Everything will change. I’ll give you the beauty of the world and happiness. You’ll smile every day.”
Igdriš snorted.
“What? Still don’t believe it. Well, it seems I’ve been deceived by a tiger.”
But he still didn’t seem very convinced.
I mean it. Does he think I’m joking?
Well, let’s leave it at this for now. If I keep repeating it in his ears, something will eventually change.
Be happy, Igdriš, be happy, be happy.
“Yes, Igdriš.”
I cautiously spoke.
“If it turns out that everything related to the rebellion was incited by the Serbyan family, and misunderstandings led to the rebellion… what will happen to your revenge, Igdriš?”
Don’t say you won’t seek revenge! Don’t turn the world into a sea of battle!
“The fact that others participated in the rebellion doesn’t change.”
“What if they had no choice? Like the hedgehog people.”
“What about you? If, in the end, you had to kill them all to survive, if you had no choice but to kill them to live. Could you forgive me?”
I bit my lip. Igdriš was right.
Since Igdriš wasn’t decisively responsible for killing the hedgehog people, I could stay by his side more easily. But if he had killed the people who were like my parents, and my tribe.
Could I forgive Igdriš? Did my deceased tribe wish for him and me to be happy together?
“Everyone raised their swords, and at the tips of those swords, my family died. The fact that they were all accomplices in killing Artigra doesn’t change.”
I couldn’t bring myself to say that I hoped they would be forgiven, at least this time.
Igdriš spoke again.
“Still, I want to know why this happened. Why did such a thing occur? Who caused everyone to risk their lives and kill us?”
“Right. Let’s start by finding that out. We’ll decide the rest afterward.”
Yeah, for now, it’s okay like this. This is already a significant improvement.
He used to be someone who didn’t care who did such things in the past. Since the world had made us like this, he said that if he burnt everyone, that would be it.
So, I decided to be grateful for Igdriš’ small changes.
And, well, on the other hand, Igdriš is also a victim. Can I force forgiveness upon him?
I should just show him the truth, and the choice afterward should be left to Igdriš, right?
And, to some extent, I had faith that once Igdriš learned the truth, he would make a different choice than what’s in the novel.
“Oh, right. Perkop mentioned that too.”
“What story?”
Igdriš’ face turned serious again.
“I won’t stand by and watch. Be careful.”
Thinking about it again, it was a terrifying statement. I massaged my forearms.
Anyway, now that I’ve met Perkop, it’s clear that my life is much more endangered than before.
“From now on, don’t do things alone.”
“Really, I promise. Do you trust only me? Wait a minute. Why are you suddenly taking off your clothes? Trusting doesn’t mean that.”
“It’s late at night. I have to move quickly from early morning tomorrow.”
“What does being busy tomorrow have to do with taking off your clothes?”
“I won’t have time to lift the curse tomorrow.”
“So, what should we do now…”
Without answering, Igdriš stepped onto the bed. The bed sank heavily to one side under his massive frame. It was hard to tell whether it was my body or my heart that sank as he settled down.
Igdriš crawled up over me without hesitation. In an instant, he was looking down at me. I held my breath.
Certainly, the atmosphere was different from just a moment ago.
Igdriš raised one hand. His other arm, which supported his body, bulged with muscles, and the raised hand moved towards my hair.
The fingertips, drawing closer by the second, made me tense. Igdriš’ index finger lightly brushed against my cheek. That light, inconsequential touch sent shivers down my entire body.
He then grasped a strand of my disheveled hair and let it go.
It was a simple gesture, but my body was electrified.
It was the location. No, it was because Igdriš was undressed. And…
I stole a glance at Igdriš’ face, feeling helpless. His gaze seemed to be bubbling with something.
Yes, it was because of Igdriš’ eyes.
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.”
