Kesha, who had been watching from the side, also clapped with a bright face.
The expressions on Casus and the ladies were as contrasting as light and darkness.
“But, I’d appreciate it if you’d avoid the time when the knights are in full swing training.”
“Oh, of course, of course. Just allowing us in is a favor. We don’t mind the times when there are no people around.”
“Hmm…”
We don’t mind the times when there are no people around, she says.
If they were trying to steal information from the people, they couldn’t say that.
Casus looked at Atia, who was rejoicing with a bright face.
Was she genuinely happy like a child?
Or was she acting?
He couldn’t tell.
Casus paused for a moment before opening his mouth again.
“I’ll let the knights in the training ground know in advance.”
“Yes, thank you!”
Atia got down from the horse and stroked the animal for its effort.
“Thank you, it’s because of you that I can enter the training ground!”
“Purung.”
Casus bowed his head slightly, deep in thought.
What she would do in the training ground in the future,
If there was anything suspicious,
What her objective was,
He decided he would have to watch her himself.
[This is the time separator]That late afternoon,
Atia and Kesha visited the training ground again.
They had changed into trousers that were comfortable to move in.
“Thanks to the lady, I’ve even tried on men’s clothing.”
Kesha looked curiously at her trousers.
There were pockets on both sides of the crotch.
“Kesha, you said there are fewer people in the training ground at this time, didn’t you?”
“Yes, right now.”
It was about sunset. The beautifully dyed sky made a beautiful backdrop.
Chang.
As soon as they got to the entrance, they heard the sound of swords.
Only a few knights were left in the training ground, finishing their intense training.
Atia cautiously entered.
She didn’t make a sound, fearing she might disturb them.
Still, her appearance couldn’t be anything but loud.
“Welcome, Duchess!”
“Welcome to the training ground!”
“Congratulations on your admission, Duchess!”
Seeing more knights than expected, Atia pursed her lips with a troubled expression.
‘Ah, they said there were no people!’
Though fewer than in the morning, there were still a few.
The knights greeted Atia with sincere joy.
The highlight of the day in the training ground was Atia’s test.
Everyone praised the duchess, who went after the horse no one dared to approach.
Looking at the saddle Atia had sat on with reverence.
“Just continue your training, don’t mind me.”
As Atia closed her eyes and smiled, the knights opened their mouths as if enchanted.
“If you need any help, just let us know, Duchess.”
“You must have a lot of things you don’t know since it’s your first time here…”
“Don’t you need help?”
As soon as Atia entered the training ground, she scratched her head at the pouring attention.
Then she looked around the training ground to see what was there.
The training ground had everything.
A space for running to build stamina. A space for throwing rocks to build muscle. A wrestling area. A space to develop balance with logrolling.
Also, there were secondary weapons from wooden swords to spears, shields, swords, and axes.
Moreover, if necessary, a horse could be borrowed from the stable.
It was no different from a topnotch gym with all the gear set up.
Kesha picked up the lightest wooden sword that looked the easiest to handle.
“Thanks to Madam, I’ve seen the training field.”
Knights sneaked glances at Atia to check if she was doing well.
They knew Atia’s ability, but they were still worried she might get hurt.
Unlike the rugged and rough knights, the slender Duchess who seemed like she would break with one hit.
Moreover, they couldn’t crack their lowgrade jokes or play pranks they usually did amongst themselves because she was there.
Atia noticed such uncomfortable gazes.
There was only one way to break this atmosphere.
Melt naturally into them.
“Let’s compete.”
Atia was a conglomerate of connections in her previous life.
As a result, she had even received archery skills from a national team archer.
When athletes shared techniques with each other, there were bound to be people who absorbed the information far better than others.
That was exactly what her previous life’s Gang Jiha was.
Thus, Gang Jiha reached a level where even experts in the archery field admired her.
“Huh?”
The knights asked with surprised faces.
Atia, holding a bow, smiled and said,
“Let’s bet on who wins.”
“How can we……”
“Loser pays a fine.”
“A, a fine?”
“Yes, I’ll rip you off. I’m new to the training field and the bow, you’re not going to lose to me, are you?”
The knights blinked their eyes and looked at the target far away.
It was quite a distance.
Atia brought the arrows.
“I’ll go first.”
Ping!
The arrow that left Atia’s hand flew towards the target.
And it hit exactly.
“…….”
Ping!
Piiing!
The knights also shot arrows towards the target one after the other.
“Aye, aren’t you being too generous?”
Atia smirked and shrugged her shoulders.
The knights initially intended to let her win without a doubt, but they were surprised by Atia’s unexpected skill.
And the knights also began to take the match seriously, one by one.
Atia’s skill sparked the knights’ competitive spirit more and more.
Ping!
Piiing!
Before they knew it, the knights in the training field were participating in the bet with Atia with an attitude serious enough to consider it as actual combat.
However, no one could beat Atia.
Because Atia’s skill was overwhelmingly superior.
These were the knights who were used to gripping the bow until their hands callused.
The competitive spirit dormant within them began to boil, more and more, and even more.
[This is the time separator]Thud thud.
After finishing the paperwork, Casus visited the training field.
It was time for the dusk to set and the day to darken.
The training field was silent as if a mouse had died.
“Huh?”
Inside the unusually quiet training field, there were knights lying down exhausted.
They looked too exhausted to even breathe, probably after a hard training.
In one corner of the training field, Atia and Kesha were doing strange movements with small dumbbells.
“One, two, three.”
Casus opened his mouth.
“What is this……?”
“We, see your Majesty.”
“See… Your Majesty…….”
“We see….”
The knights greeted Casus while lying down.
The knights tried to get up, but they looked very strenuous.
Casus walked towards Atia, who was moving in one corner.
“Lunges not only strengthen your core but also strengthen your lower body. If you’re going to be at the training field for a long time, it’s good to consider it essential and practice.”
Atia showed Kesha a demonstration, bending her leg and then straightening it again.
Kesha first noticed Casus and bowed his head.
“We, see your Majesty.”
“What the hell happened while I was gone?”
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.”
