Thinking about it, there had to be someone guarding it. Just a moment ago, the emperor had sent many guards to the empress’s palace.
Thump, bang!
Turning her body to the other side, Rasilia opened the window. As with the empress’s bedroom, there had to be a ledge in the emperor’s bedroom. The shadow knight had come through the window, so she would find a way too.
“……There’s nothing.”
But, surprisingly, the emperor’s bedroom window was only smooth, without a protruding frame or decoration. The wall was intricately carved, but there was nowhere to step on.
“What should I do?”
It was the moment when Rasilia spat out her confusion with a pale face.
“Coo! Coo!”
“Caw!”
Birds that now seemed recognizable came flying.
“Could it be…… did you come to help on purpose?”
We come, we come. We come if you call us.
She didn’t know how it happened, but these birds not only talked but were helping her.
“I need to get out of here. But the door seems to be guarded by people. Is there another way?”
As crazy as it sounded, Rasilia asked the birds.
No, no. Humans don’t have wings.
It’s high, high. Humans fall, fall.
“Then…… is there a way to prevent the emperor from coming?”
No, no.
We can’t, can’t. We’ll die.
Yes, yes. Emperor, bad temper. Bad.
Rasilia spoke in desperation.
“I feel like I shouldn’t be alone with the emperor now. Hiding for a while…… or just not being alone will do.”
……?
The birds tilted their heads and exchanged glances before saying.
Then there is, there is.
Swoosh!
A bird with shiny black feathers flew away and quickly returned with a suspiciously red fruit.
Plunk.
The bird carefully placed it next to Rasilia’s hand.
Eat it, and you’ll sleep. You’ll fall asleep.
Then even if you’re together, you’ll be alone.
Rasilia smiled broadly.
“That’s right. You guys, you’re really smart. Yes, this will do.”
The birds, pleased with the praise, fluffed their tail feathers.
Happy, happy.
Thank you, thank you.
Call us and we come, we come.
The birds left behind a peculiar message and flew away.
When Rasilia closed the window and returned to the dining table, mixing the fruit brought by the black bird naturally into the fruit dish, the emperor returned.
“It didn’t take long, did it? Just as I said.”
With that, the entering emperor was wearing an uncomfortably matched formal attire.
His bangs, which had naturally covered his forehead a moment ago, were neatly swept back. Jewel cuffs were on his sleeves, and a pendant was dangled to match the color on the indoor mantle that hung over the formal attire.
‘I don’t know where to rest my eyes.’
Rasilia blinked at the completely changed appearance of the emperor.
‘Somehow it’s uncomfortable.’
Even during the day, he had not dressed so lavishly. The emperor, who had been like a dog just a moment ago, now looked like a peacock with its tail proudly raised.
“Or did it take long?”
The emperor yanked the chair across from him, but instead of sitting down, he pulled it up and sat next to Rasilia.
“……No. It did not take long.”
“Of course. I hurried. Just as I said.”
“……. ”
So what does that mean?
Rasilia turned her gaze from the uncomfortable face that was staring intently at her.
“Why are you sitting next to me?”
“……. If I sit across, the distance is far.”
“If you sit next to me, it will be difficult to eat.”
At that, the emperor tilted his head for a moment.
“……Well, maybe.”
“Then go across.”
“I’m fine with this.”
What is fine?
“Do you mean to sit like this?”
“I think I can handle it, even if it’s uncomfortable.”
“……. ”
Now the emperor felt like a flashy dog, not a peacock.
“Then let’s eat.”
“……. ”
He was indeed a strange person.
‘Was the rumor that he didn’t get along with the empress false? ……No, that’s not it. From the reaction of Lady Pasha Duke, it’s clear that the relationship was bad.’
It meant that the emperor had started to take a different attitude, regardless of his emotions.
‘It must be because of the time difference. Bluemoon is approaching, after all. The emperor is desperate to make contact.’
For the first time, Rasilia felt something other than fear for the emperor. If she had to name it, it would be sympathy.
However, separate from sympathy, the problem would be very serious when she realized that she was not really the destined companion.
“I will serve you the food.”
So she had to feed him that fruit.
Rasilia picked up the empty plate in front of her and served the food, making sure to include the fruit brought by the bird.
“Leave that out.”
But feeding the fruit was not so smooth. With the fruit in her hand, Rasilia asked for the reason with her eyes.
“I’ve never seen that fruit before. I don’t eat such things.”
“Oh……. Is it a royal law?”
“You never know what might be in it.”
It made sense that the royalty would be particular about their food.
‘If he doesn’t eat it, it’s going to be a problem.’
After a moment’s thought, Rasilia recalled that she was also royalty now, one way or another.
“Then I will try it.”
“It’s better not to.”
“Just a little. If I eat it and it’s fine, then won’t Your Majesty be able to eat it too?”
At that moment, Rascal snatched the fruit from Rasilia’s hand.
“Let’s do the opposite.”
“What?”
“I’ll taste it first, and if it’s fine, you eat it.”
The emperor, who had just said he didn’t eat unknown things, put the tiny, bright red fruit in his mouth.
‘Really…….’
Rasilia swallowed dryly, watching the emperor chew and swallow the fruit.

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.”
