“What are you talking about? Weren’t you and the emperor having quite the interesting affair last time… Keep your lands. How could I snatch lands decided by the Emperor and the goddess of the empire?”
“…”
“But Louie is a different matter.”
“I’ve told you not to casually utter the princess’s name.”
“She’s the princess of the Cains Empire before she’s your sister. During difficult times, it’s both her duty and honor to maintain peace through a political marriage with a foreign royal family.”
The empress sat in front of the statue of the goddess of mercy, Heklesia, and laughed devilishly.
“I don’t know what scheme the emperor is planning this time, but one thing’s for sure. He will fail to protect his sister, who is not his daughter.”
If Louie doesn’t go, one of the other princesses would go to Pholderfin. To the emperor, whether it was Louie or another princess, they were just daughters. Therefore, there was neither reason nor power to sacrifice one to save another.
“So protect the empire yourself. If you can stop Pholderfin from crossing our borders, there’s no reason to send Louie, that young child, to a foreign land.”
Carson closed his eyes. Regardless of his suspicions, the empress had once again done the same thing.
She had grabbed onto what he could never let go, what he couldn’t protect and would ultimately lead to his death.
“How this empress can’t sleep from worrying, with the constant cries from Margrave Grandle. A rat’s nest indeed.”
Ines watched Carson writhe in agony. Her eyes grew redder over time. Hatred for the empress boiled within her.
“Our wise son is given the chance to protect the nation. Isn’t that also your glory?”
The Empress finished her words, rose from her seat in the council chamber, and walked toward the prayer room door. Holding the doorknob, she spoke in a whisper.
“Fortunately, there will be no rush of the Golden Train to the palace for the time being.”
Soon, Ines came following the priest.
Even as the priest performed the rites, Carson furrowed his brow and stared intently at Ines.
After ordering the priest to leave, he moved closer to her.
“Why are you so wet?”
Despite the passage of time, the two interacted as if they had just met yesterday. He grabbed a towel reflected in his room and patted Ines’ head dry.
“It’s raining outside.”
“You are staying in this building.”
In fact, Ines couldn’t immediately leave the waiting room. People had swarmed in to tidy up the prayer room right after the Empress and Carson had left.
Only after being sure everyone had left did Ines go outside, where she was met with a drizzling rain.
As soon as she returned to the lodging building, she was guided by the cooperative priest to meet Carson.
“I encountered the rain while taking a short walk.”
“Alone at this hour?”
“No, with a couple of colleagues.”
She had to lie, albeit unwillingly. It was difficult to say that she had seen the moment he was humiliated.
“You shouldn’t be wandering around so wet.”
“……”
“Didn’t you suffer from a cold last time?”
Ines had told him very minor things since his last visit to the temple.
She had informed him via letter about everything, from hives she had on a humid day to her catching a cold. To her, getting a little wet was a very light issue, but since he insisted, she complied.
So this time it would be okay to ask Carson.
“My Lord?”
“Hmm?”
He was still wiping moisture from her hair.
“Do you remember the promise we made in this room last time?”
“Yes.”
Carson answered immediately without even asking what it was. There weren’t many things that could be called promises between the two.
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.”
